NCS takes photos of the big PSP in New
York City before it gets taken down and we close out 2005 with a large
assortment of new toy and game imports. It's been another great year
and we look forward to a busy 2006 with the Playstation 3 on the way
and the next generation of PSP software on tap. |

Summary |
Halloween passes without incident at our
office building this year. Normally at night, outsiders invade their
outdoor parking lot and have little night time picnics and hold
séances via ouija board. The morning after, the aftereffects of their
visit are clearly evident by the strewn food and vomit... The
weather's been unseasonably warm this autumn so they probably went to
the Village Halloween parade downtown. |
