The Only Thing The French Should Be Allowed To Host Is An Invasion

by Rainier on Oct. 27, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Monday wasn't a very good day. It should have been, but it wasn't.

First off, for some reason, it was a rather slow and boring news day, which should have been perfect since the CrimeCraft devs were rolling out their free2play version and a content update. Unfortunately, something went totally sideways, and the game crashes like there is no tomorrow. We went from the occasional error to about six CTDs in 20 minutes. Judging from the response in the CrimeCraft forum, I'm not the only one.

After dinner, we were going to watch Heroes but our DVR flaked out and didn't record it. Damn technology!

All of that is small potatoes compared to the news that Triplepoint PR guru Rannie Yoo has passed away at 33 years young. Diagnosed with a rare cancer late last year, she passed away in the comfort of her home after having married her fiancé only days ago. RIP, Rannie. You'll be missed by everyone who knew you, however briefly it may have been.
