Things I've missed:

a) The super old but excellent computer game: Master of Magic (was played in MSDOS)
(broke my heart to throw away the game, think the disc was spoilt)

b) Black Isle Studios (makers of Baulder's Gate series) closed down due to bankruptcy.
(sigh...no wonder i couldn't get any good RPG games for the last few yrs)

c) Dreamwave Comics (it produced the new Transformers comics. Don't laugh, but the storyline was superb and the artwork was like amazing too

d) and of course the famous amos cookies i bought last week. Enuff said
