Yet another exciting week has passed us! Of the most notable things to happen was the epic kick off of Mixr League Gaming Season I’s first round. This season is quite epic with not two, but four teams involved! So far it’s looking like Team Ningin may take a backseat for this round. Personally, as team captain, this has me stressed. Usually when I’m stressed, laughter is my best remedy. Speaking of laughter, we were able to interview an expert on laughter — comedian Steve Byrne! Seems he’s got a lot planned for this new year…which, by the way — have you checked out the lunar calendar? The Lunar New Year is coming up. Valentine’s Day too.

As much as I’d like to have a head start on dishing out valentines, I’ll have to settle with announcing this week’s winners of the BoA prize consisting of a White Wishes CD and poster. Lilsparky67, Ludachris714 and AnabelStars, congratulations; your white wishes have come true. Congratulations to the rest of the top 10 this week, i2ayumi, Zephyr, phanxuanna12297, me, AlexaNguyen, conkwe and Danny Truong!

This week’s prize: Shiny, new, SHINee “Year of Us” albums.

Lastly, if you love Japanese film…don’t miss out on this week.
