We picked up zero-day copy at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.walmart.com\">Walmart<\/a> and proceeded to become sleep deprived and dehydrated as we explored Haven, the Hinterlands and the Storm Coast. Although not nearly as funny or sarcastic as our hero in <a href=\"https:\/\/updates.xephalon.net\/?p=348\">Dragon Age 2<\/a>, our new hero has nearly endless possibilities to explore and collect in the new open world gameplay. We took a break for Melody to prepare the Thanksgiving hybrid dinner for her side of the family, which we transported to her sister&#8217;s house since we lacked a dining table. On Saturday, we drove to the Bay area for brunch with a few friends, then stocked up at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.containerstore.com\">Container Store<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.com\">Crate &amp; Barrel<\/a>. We discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/pacificeastmall.com\/\">Pacific East Mall<\/a> in Richmond on the way back, and got our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.99ranch.com\">Asian grocery<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/daimousa.com\/\">Canto seafood<\/a> fix before coming home. The rest of the weekend was spent closing Fade Rifts and seeking out a new artificial Christmas tree at various <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\">Home Depots<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.walmart.com\">Walmart<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaels.com\">Michael&#8217;s<\/a>, but ended up with a lot of decorations instead. Hopefully we&#8217;ll have a tree before the actual holiday arrives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our productivity took a nosedive when Dragon Age: Inquisition was released.
