It was surprisingly quiet yesterday. Maybe everybody is on vacation or getting ready for GamesCom next week.
We started watching Covert Affairs, and while it's nothing super, it's better than we expected. Since it's On Demand, we don't need to DVR it and it's free, so we figure we may as well watch it while we can.
The drama in CrimeCraft continues, as I've had to tell a bunch of people why two of their biggest players were banned for shady reasons. So far, the response has been heartening. Most people are baffled, claiming Vogster is overreacting. A response from the VP of Vogster stated that we violated "the spirit of the game/tournament." I'd say that in a game about gangs, crafting drugs, killing rival gangs, and robbery, we actually raised the bar on that spirit.

We did most of our errands yesterday so that we can have the day all to ourselves. No specific plans beyond going out for breakfast and cooking dinner, so we'll see what we can come up with to entertain ourselves.
Something is afoot in the world of CrimeCraft. GMs have been abusing their power by kicking people out of the game "as a joke," and over the past year, some of their best players have gotten banned, and now it's my turn.
If you've been following me for the past year, you'll notice that I've been a staunch supporter of the game, but this is the second time I have been banned (the first time was cleared up the next day, so I didn't mention it) for what I considered to be BS reasons.
So far, several rival gangs have expressed similar frustrations, and a campaign to support my return is being staged, but if it's unsuccessful, adios CC (and with it, several of my high-level premium players who are equally fed up). Viva La Revolución!

Weekend again, and this one has special meaning since we are celebrating our eighth wedding anniversary! No super special plans, apart from a nice dinner, probably a movie and lots of smooching!
No hiking or concerts this weekend, so it should be nice and relaxing. Maybe i'll even get around to doing my long-overdue case and HD PVR projects.
Last night we watched some Burn Notice, and I also just received the first issue of the Kane & Lynch comic book.
