Tomorrow, California's Supreme Court will decide whether electronic games — like films, books and every other form of art and entertainment — are protected by the Constitution's insistence on freedom of speech. As soon as there is an update on the Schwarzenegger vs. EMA case, we will report on the matter, as the result will define whether video games are protected by the Constitution.
On a more everyday matter, we managed to not do anything today, so we had plenty of time to watch a few episodes of
Hawaii Five-0,
No Ordinary Family,
The Losers and the 1934 black & white classic,
It Happened One Night.

We did most of our errands yesterday just so we won't have to leave the house today ... sweet! While we're baseball fans, neither the Giants nor the Rangers are of any interest, so the World Series is not really on our radar. It's funny to see all these people sporting crispy new t-shirts and jerseys just because it's the thing to do. Proud to be Angels fans for the past 20 years!
Later today, we'll put the AppleTv to some good use and watch a bunch of movies and TV series. We're pretty much caught up on all things DVR, apart from a slew of Caprica and Criminal Minds episodes we've been accumulating. Maybe we should dig into those ....
Hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

Vindictus launched earlier this week, and I was hoping for some new content beyond a new character. While it is good for new players, the game is currently filled with new mages. I can't to be bothered with starting a third character just to find out what she's all about. Playing through the game another time isn't any fun.
Props to Nexon for addressing the token issue that had the community up in arms (they raised the count from 100 to 150 and added an extra reset date mid-week), but I was hoping for some new missions, weapons, armor, etc.
There is still the huge question of what the guilds will be able to do; for now, all you can do is invite people to join your guild, but nothing else. It would be nice to get more details of what we can expect — perhaps some hints at some sort of PvP, if there will be any at all. I'm starving here...
