Another weekend had gone by way too quickly, and I'm already looking forward to the next. Despite some high hopes, we ended up doing not much of anything. No surprise there, really.

We did some quick errands, watched some Rescue Me, played some Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Nexon's upcoming RPG Vindictus. Grouped up with a few buddies and spent a few hours exploring the game and its many menus. I'm not quite sure what happened near the end of a big mission, but things started getting laggy to the point of being unplayable, so we called it a night. Overall, it was interesting and quite fun ....

Yesterday was a fun day filled with errands, watching Dexter and mixed in with some gaming. I've got R.U.S.E. installed but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I've been too busy fending off the Zerg or Protoss in StarCraft II. I might also check out Company Of Heroes Online. I've been a big fan of the series so far, so that one is definitely high on my to-play list.

Summer's pretty much done with, so it seems to have quieted down concert-wise. We only have a Bad Religion gig, and unless there are some bands passing through that we don't know of yet, that should be it.

Musically, I've been digging Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying and some Five Finger Death Punch.

We didn't get anything done that we had set out to do last night. We made dinner and played video games, which is a great evening indeed, so I'm certainly not complaining. I spent some time playing APB since it's shutting down soon, and there was also some Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 co-op action.
