And here we go again, kicking off another week in style.

The world is full of surprises. Jackass 3D earns more money than RED with major stars like Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren (known for  The Queen and  Elizabeth I). Even worse, it might break the record for highest-grossing October opening of all time. Don't get me wrong; we will most likely go see it at some point, but wtf? :)

We bought a new wireless router (Linksys E3000) and set everything up. Our AppleTV is working like a charm, with no hassle whatsoever.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana once again follows the adventures of friends Adol and Dogi who find themselves making an unannounced visit to Dogi’s hometown of Redmont in the land of Felghana. Since his departure eight years earlier, Dogi finds himself returning home to find that things have changed dramatically, and not for the better.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to 2008's Game of the Year Fallout 3, brings this franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor, and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is the sequel to last year’s high-flying, fast-hitting, and intense versus battles series. Dragon Ball Z fans can rest assured that the destructible environment, and character trademark attacks and transformations will be true to the series.

9Dragons is a martial arts MMO set in ancient China, where you, through training and quests, reach your destiny as a master of the martial arts. Back in August we reported that Acclaim would shut down 9Dragons, only to be picked up by GamersFirst, and now the servers are back operational.

The weather has cooled down considerably yesterday, so we didn't feel so bad about staying in and hunkering down in front of the TV. Watched some Justified and Bones, tested our brand-new vacuum cleaner (awesome!) and played a whole lot of Vindictus. I also managed to play through Medal of Honor, and while it's somewhat short, the experience turned out to be quite pleasant, including the rather touching ending.

We ran some errands but didn't get around to checking on a wireless router for our AppleTV gizmo, so we'll have to take care of that later today.

Players will be able to take their Sims into the bustling urban setting where they'll be able to become a local celebrity, member of a music band, mixologist, director, and more.

Later today, I'll be taking our spiffy new vacuum cleaner for a test drive and see how that thing performs. Oddly enough, I like vacuum cleaning and always have since I was a kid. No idea why ....

We're also going on the hunt for a wireless router so we can hook up the Apple TV box (barely bigger than an iPod) and see how Netflix streaming works on the HDTV.

Entertainment-wise, currently reading Killer Elite (history of the US Special Forces), we watched NCIS, Justified, and Hell's Kitchen while playing Vindictus and Super Scribblenauts (not as easy as we thought it would be).

The new TT Champion Bat from Shinobii Technologies offers Wii Table Tennis players the opportunity to wield a table tennis bat that’s a true 1:1 replica of an actual table tennis paddle in both size and weight.

Gran Turismo 5 promises 1000 vehicles, 20 tracks in 60 different layouts, custom soundtrack support, and while there is a damage model, it will be limited to certain car manufacturers.
