I didn’t know what I was going to write about today. When this happens, normally I grab a coffee to help get the ideas flowing, but for the last few days in Montreal, no one’s been allowed to drink the water due to a bacteria leakage. This also means: no coffee. So instead, I grabbed the next best thing to help me get going: a beer.

Gabe: Well I picked up my Google Glass last Sunday and I’ve had a few days to play around with it now. Obviously I’m not super familiar with them yet but I wanted to get my first impressions of them up. I immagine as time goes on and I have the opportunity to use it in different ways, I’ll be sharing more thoughts about Glass. The floating HUD looks pretty much exactly like what you see in the official Google videos. You can tilt your head up or simply tap the side on your Glass to bring up the display. This shows you the time and is the jumping off point for all your “okay glass”…

Sports fans know that loyalties run deep, and there’s no question of giving your opponents any kind of edge. So if you live in Pittsburgh and love hockey, you won’t be surprised to hear that a bar there is banning Sam Adams beer while the Penguins are playing the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals. This, because beer and hockey go hand in hand and rivalries don’t have any room for confusion of loyalties. Better drink that traitorous brew while you can, Pittsburghians (Pittsburghites?).

Yahoo!’s PuckDaddy blog points to a Pittsburgh bar that is most definitely taking the Eastern Conference Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins seriously, and as such has warned its patrons on its Facebook page that as of Saturday, no Boston brewed Sam Adams will be served.

With the caption  “this is a public service announcement from the staff,” the bar posted the photo of a sign reading:

“TWO DAYS LEFT TO ORDER ANY SAM ADAMS

WE WILL NOT BE SERVING ANY BOSTON BEERS DURING THE EASTERN CONF. FINALS!”

As one of our observant Consumerist readers points out, this isn’t the first time Sam Adams has been on the receiving end of such a ban — during the 2012 Super Bowl between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, a New York sports bar also abstained from serving Sam Adams.

In any case, if you’re heading to that bar you better drink up now. You’ve only got two days to think of a suitable alternative, after all.

Andrew Groen: "I better not mess around with the Chinese government," I thought as I filled out a visa application that would allow me entry into the People's Republic of China to report on the League of Legends All-Star Game being hosted by Riot Games in Shanghai. Riot went all-out with this tournament, and seemed determined for this to be a showcase for their efforts to expand eSports in Asia. They had an entire sports arena booked for the event, along with a custom-built stage that rivalled most music concerts, and they were offering to fly journalists from around the world to see the next step…

For today’s edition of Deal of the Day, Amazon offers 33% off or more (+ free shipping) on all versions of BioShock Infinite (Xbox 360/PS3/PC).

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you’ve never seen. Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins, and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with deep emotional bonds.

When I finished one of my photo ops in Ottawa, Nathan Fillion was doing one of his in the photo area next to mine. Anne was with me, and I know that she loves him as much as I do, so I grabbed her hand and ran with her into Nathan’s line.

I walked over to Nathan, and said to him, so Anne couldn’t hear, “Would you literally sweep her off her feet?” He laughed and said he would. Then he turned to me and said, “And you stand here, and look sad.”

So I did and this happened:

My internal dialog at this moment is: “I wish Nathan Fillion would sweep me off my feet.”

Nathan Fillion is as kind and funny and charming and friendly as you think he would be. We’ve sort of become friends, and that makes me so happy; he’s really good people.

Before last summer’s horrific fatal shootings at The Dark Knight Rises screening in Colorado, hiring costumed “gunmen” to walk into a crowded movie theater as a marketing stunt would have merely been a bad idea that might have made the local news. Post-Aurora, it’s the kind of idiotically ill-advised idea that results in multiple 9-1-1 calls and the theater having to apologize to outraged customers. [Reddit via Gawker]
