We Must Make An Idol Of Our Fear And Call It God

by Rainier on Nov. 1, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

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.

Cut Off A Wolf's Head And It Still Has The Power To Bite

by Rainier on Oct. 31, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

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!

Did I Adequately Answer Your Condescending Question?

by Rainier on Oct. 30, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

We kicked off the weekend in style! We stuffed our faces with delicious food, plopped ourselves on the couch and watched John Stewart's Daily Show (with President Obama) and Supernatural. Prior to that, I hopped and skipped from one game to another, checked out Dogfighter, Vindictus, Medal of Honor multiplayer and Global Agenda, but nothing could really hold my attention for more than 30 minutes. Not sure why ...

Tonight, we have a dinner date with some friends, and we're in charge of making cupcakes for dessert. Tasty!

Monday's going to be a rockin' evening, as we're going to go see Godsmack, Drowning Pool and Five Finger Deathpunch. Better not be calling on Tuesday because I won't understand a word you'll say.
