I know this column isn't a soapbox or a personal outlet of any type, but I feel you all have the right to know why you're getting no DA tonight. So here's why.

I went to see an aunt in the hospital today - coincidentally it was the first time I've been out of the house in two months - and while coming back, my mother's car got hit by a truck. A lot of things go through your head when you're in a car wreck, and I really can't think about video games right now. I'm sorry guys, I really am. I'll make it up to you tomorrow, honest.

Stay safe everybody.
