Ahh, weekend, I'm always glad to see ya. Slept in way late but then had to rush to get our errands done because the wife and I wanted to watch the women's semifinals of the U.S. Open. Of course, we were rooting for Kim Clijsters, who played a great match even though victory came in a somewhat awkward way. Onto the finals!
We also watched "Inkheart" with Brandon Frasier, which turned out the be much better than we anticipated. It's more geared toward the younger crowd but not a bad flick at all.
Also received my latest Gears of War comic books (thanks Dana) so I quickly shredded through those, but I am still amazed at how thin comics are these days, and they're filled to the brim with ads. I used to be an avid X-Men and Sgt. Rock reader 15 years ago, so it seems things have changed quite a bit. It's been a while, so maybe I'll have to dig up my old issues and reminisce.

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).
