The long weekend is over with, so it's time to get back to the grind. We have some eggnog cheesecake left, but no more turkey leftovers.
Not much happened yesterday. We ran some errands, and apart from that, we watched the latest Heroes, a few Glee episodes, Amazing Race,
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and
Slumdog Millionaire. Yup, it was a busy couch and TV day.

A Fallout MMO has been talked about
since 2004, but Interplay was forced to sell off most of its licenses due to financial reasons. When
Bethesda acquired the Fallout license, Interplay kept an
exclusive Fallout MMO license, under certain conditions. Interplay's annual
10-K filing reveals that Bethesda might be trying to cash in on that, claiming that those "certain conditions," namely full production within 2 years and funding, have not been met, which would revert the MMO license back to Bethesda. Now it seems the Fallout 3 developer is following through as it has formally
filed suit against Interplay for their inability to move forward with the MMO, but also for making digital distribution deals with GOG and Steam for its back catalog and repackaged products which have not been approved by Bethesda
(thanks NMA).

Brütal Legend is a 3rd person action/adventure starring Jack Black in the role of roadie Eddie Riggs, who sets on an epic quest to build an army of rockers with only a broad axe, a big block V8 and his faithful guitar in hand.
In June, Activision filed a lawsuit against Double Fine to stop the release of Brütal Legend, claiming it never gave up the rights.
DF countersued, and a preliminary hearing was postponed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Craig Karlan, while saying it'll be a close call but also stating he doesn't think Activision will be able to win its argument. Re-scheduled for today, the hearing was canceled as
both parties have settled out of court, although no details were revealed.
