Last month, Bethesda
filed suit against Interplay for their inability to move forward with the Fallout MMO, making digital distribution deals with GOG and Steam for its back catalog and repackaging products that have not been approved by Bethesda. It seems
the preliminary injunction has been denied for various reasons, one being the complex language of the contract (e.g., the MMO required a $30M budget, but does not require Interplay to have spent it all).

After yesterday's slew of bad news, today was a tad better. While our DVR still seems to have issues recognizing new TV shows this week, CrimeCraft has settled down, and there hasn't been a single crash all day.
Last night's episode of Castle was great — one of the best ones yet. Fans of Nathan Fillion will no doubt have picked up on his Halloween attire being a tribute to Firefly. His daughter's comment was also awesome: "Didn't you wear that five years ago? Don't you think you should move on?" Luckily, one of the few shows the DVR did manage to pick up was the new Sons Of Anarchy, so I'm going to try and squeeze in that one later today.
