I'm a redneck! I really am. We went for a walk on Sunday, and even though I covered myself with sunscreen, my neck got sunburned. Don't ask me how I managed, but oddly enough, it's mainly my left side, while the right part is nicely tanned. Maybe we walked in circles and only my left side was exposed. Who knows?
This weekend is my birthday, and I think my wife is trying to tell me something. She got me a 4GB iPod shuffle, while I have a perfectly good 160GB Nano that fits quite a large portion of my music collection. Apparently the shuffle is best suited for exercising, working out, and running. I'm not sure, but I think this is a sign of things to come ....

We have arrived safely at our destination! It's a little bit colder than we would have liked, but we'll make do. Tomorrow, we are going to start our sightseeing, and this weekend we're even going to do some mountain climbing! OK, maybe it's more hiking than climbing, but still ....
Since the laptop isn't exactly equipped for gaming, there will be no Crimecraft for me. :( I have checked out Rockstar's Facebook app,
Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers, which is kinda cool to tide you over until the actual game comes out.
The latest news is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is not only directing but also re-writing The Avengers — you know, that movie with Nick Fury, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. I'm so looking forward to it already!

Thank goodness the GDC is over! We had dinner with some publisher/developer friends last night, and it was a great way to end the exhibition. I got the hangover to prove it ...
Unfortunately, now we have to start looking forward to E3, so we can experience this mess all over again. You might think, "Wow, these guys really hate these shows," but we don't. It's the planning phase that we dread, organizing the flights, hotels, appointments, and making schedules for everybody.
But it's the weekend now, so it's time to catch up on sleep, DVR, groceries and maybe see Green Zone.

Finalized our GDC appointments for this week, and I've kept it rather light since the conference is mainly about new technology, which is not our focus here. There are quite a few interesting titles to be shown, so keep your eyes out for a variety of interviews, previews and regular assets. Coverage might be a bit spotty as we'll be shuttling back & forth between locations, but we'll do our best to keep the news flowing ....
We made some headway in our DVR watching over the last few days, with 24, The Amazing Race, Caprica, The Good Wife, Kitchen Nightmares, Leverage and NCIS.

Man, we're not having very much luck with our gizmos these days. A few weeks back, our DVR was tweaking, then my iPod goes on the fritz, and now our replacement DVR is having hiccups as well. Nothing serious, but a few of our recorded programs jump right to the end when we fast-forward through the commercials. Weird stuff.
Think I may take a break from CrimeCraft later today and check out Supreme Commander 2, or finally give AvP a whirl. Of course, as soon as my PC copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 arrives, everything else has to move over.

That Infinity Ward story sure is weird, isn't it? I'm curious what sort of breach of contract and insubordination led to the firing of executives who just delivered the best-selling game ever, right before they were supposedly to be paid their royalties. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of that story.
This is turning out to quite an excellent week for gamers. Bad Company 2, Supreme Commander 2, a few MLB titles, and even the Alice in Wonderland game look exciting. I'm mostly interested in the first two, and while I already have SC2, I have yet to check it out. Better get to it before the next batch of titles ships ....

Once again, our plan to watch some TV was foiled. Our neighbor came over to chitchat and left three hours later. We hadn't even had dinner at that point, so there no more time to be couch potatoes. Luckily, only NCIS and The Good Wife were on tonight, so we'll have to squeeze them in over the weekend. Cancel all plans!
