Michael and Joel fight off not one, not two, but four zombie invasions; plan post for Saturday

The producers of Michael and Joel were asked to pass along the following information. We would have ignored it, but it came certified mail with the promise of a gift certificate to Chili's if we carried out the order. Economic times are hard, so here goes...

"Hey folks! I'm sure you were expecting, maybe even longing for, a new post on ye 'ol review site today. You expect a lot of things, but Michael and I are not your monkeys. We did feel the slightest bit of guilt, however, at not making your day that much more special by giving you one of our uplifting literary masterpieces. So, we thought we'd give you the skinny on why the post has been delayed. Michael and I, along with fellow "directors" George A. Romero and Danny Boyle, have been fending off not one, not two, but four zombie invasions over the last two days. They were stand-alone invasions, not directly connected, but we found ourselves in the middle of all four, and it took teamwork to survive. Really, we didn't accomplish much but to wreak havoc while waiting to be extracted, but it was a good time.

"Michael and I have been working on a post, despite the zombie hordes, which readers can expect to read late tomorrow afternoon. That is all...Suck it." -- Joel

Michael and Joel playing games, will return for review tomorrow

Michael and Joel announced today from your mom's bedroom that they just weren't able to write a review last week because "This is the high tide of video game season, when all the biggest titles like Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet, Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, Far Cry 2, World of Warcraft expansions and Ninjatown hit shelves, overwhelming gamers with their awesomeness."

Oddly, we have only seen Michael struggling to get through the first stage in Transformers and Joel "playing" the never released Dreamcast adaptation of Phonebooth. Either way, they've been playing games instead of writing.

We were able to convince them, however, to take a break to write short reviews on their favorite movies inspired by video games. Those will appear, as things rarely do, on this site tomorrow. That is all.
