The Commandments Say 'Thou Shalt Not Kill,' But We Hire Men To Go Out And Do It For Us

by Rainier on March 14, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

We went to see Green Zone last night, an Iraq war-based drama with Matt "Jason Bourne" Damon, and I must say that I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's not exactly a war movie; it deals more with some behind-the-scenes politics and ideals, similar to The Hurt Locker. Most people were lined up in droves for Alice in Wonderland, but our movie still drew a full theater ....

We slept in late today and have no big plans, apart from watching some DVR, getting the car cleaned out and running a few small errands in Chinatown. All in all, a relaxing Sunday, just the way we like it.

When You Fall Asleep Tonight, I'm Gonna Fart In Your Face

by Rainier on March 13, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Thank goodness the GDC is over! We had dinner with some publisher/developer friends last night, and it was a great way to end the exhibition. I got the hangover to prove it ...

Unfortunately, now we have to start looking forward to E3, so we can experience this mess all over again. You might think, "Wow, these guys really hate these shows," but we don't. It's the planning phase that we dread, organizing the flights, hotels, appointments, and making schedules for everybody.

But it's the weekend now, so it's time to catch up on sleep, DVR, groceries and maybe see Green Zone.
