'The Saboteur' (ALL) Crashes on ATI Cards, Terrible Workaround

I'm Disinclined To Acquiesce To Your Request. Means "no"

And here we are again, the weekend.

No big plans scheduled, apart from going to Adam's birthday dinner at some Moroccan joint and running some errands. Got a few Netflix movies to watch, and I'll try to catch up on a few episodes of Criminal Minds and NCIS LA.

It seems my new PSU and gfx card have resolved a black screen issue that I started having a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty happy about that. The only game that I couldn't run properly without chugging was Red Faction: Guerrilla, so I'll have to give that a whirl and see if it runs smoothly now.

Last night's Stargate Universe episode was rather good, especially the sweet ending. Eat it, Dr. Rush!
