Assassin's Creed for the Kinect!

We lost it at the running-in-circles at the loading screen bit. XD

For you non-gamers, let's just say Assassin's Creed is the epitome of games you DO NOT want to be acting out. :) (And when the next section of the game is loading, you can control the main character, but you can't do much, so everyone just makes him run in circles to stave off boredom for the 15-20 second or so it takes to load.)

Posting in lieu of emailing the link to Toby, as there's a spoiler in the titles of one of the videos on the right side of the YouTube page. Feel free to watch it if you're not Toby, but it won't make sense unless you've seen the first couple of episodes of Game of Thrones (no spoilers).

Tyrion Slaps Joffrey For 10 Minutes To Achilles Last Stand
(Joffrey being the insufferable Lannister prince.)

(BTW, it is truly a tragedy that Peter Dinklage, the actor playing Tyrion, has done only one audiobook that I can find (and only one small part of it, not the whole thing!), because OMG THAT VOICE.)

Readings or poems for weddings?

So! We're finally getting around to constructing our ceremony and are casting about for a reading or two that we can strongarm hapless relatives into reading. One will probably be Neil Gaiman's wedding poem (google 'Gaiman wedding poem') but we're not sure about the other.

I figured I'd ask for suggestions of appropriate things. We're not particularly soppy, and something funny or at least not sweetly sentimental would be nice. Bonus points if it's from a genre book or author (comics, also).
