Don't you just hate it when you are trying to help somebody by fixing their computer and after hours of tinkering, trying things, rebooting, downloading tools, and more rebooting, you have to admit defeat without getting a thing fixed? Epic fail! At least I did not make things worse..

What was supposed to be a quiet evening in front of the TV turned out to be a bust. Just like the roadwork outside, nothing got done. After blocking off all parking spots on both sides of the street, they decided to let us know in the evening that they would start tomorrow instead.

I don't usually rant about the gaming industry, but as a PC gamer, it is increasingly frustrating to see developers neglect the platform.

Microsoft has been vowing to reignite its commitment to the PC for many years, first with Vista as a gaming platform (laugh) and then partaking in the PC Gaming Alliance (dead much?).

Yesterday Lionhead, a Microsoft studio, felt the need to remind people that Fable III for the PC is still in development, as if people had forgotten (how about we get Fable II first?). Fable III was supposed to be a simultaneous launch on X360 and PC, but now there's no date or any news on when to expect the PC version.

When big titles like Halo 2, Gears of War and Fable III don't reach the PC until months or years after their initial release, people tend to lose interest and move on. Coming from the company that ought to be on the forefront of developing and publishing on its own platform, that is incomprehensible. Executives who wonder why the PC ports don't sell any copies are out of touch with reality.

Ahh, it's that time of year again, when companies thank you for your service, wish you happy holidays and hand you a pink slip on the way out.

On the other hand, I'm quite positive that somebody will see the value in a reputable studio as Bizarre Creations. It would be shame if they would be lost.

Tonight we're going to a local fundraiser event, which isn't so special on its own, but it is being held on a blocked-off street, and most restaurants and bars on that strip are giving out free samples. What's not to like about free beer and food?

Yesterday we spent some time messing around with the Kinect and a few of the launch titles. Hooking it up was quite easy, calibration a piece of cake, voice commands work fine, and it even recognized movement in a dimly lit room.

While Kinect Sports was quite fun to play, especially with two teams competing against each other, Dance Central was hilarious, and we established early on that Adam would be voted off in the first round of So You Think You Can Dance.

Prior to our escapades, we saw Red, a funny action movie with Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parkerand Morgan Freeman. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It was good stuff.

Looks like yesterday's 100+ updates on my freshly installed gaming computer was not the end of it, as today two updates triggered the SP1, a subsequent 47 more patches, followed by numerous reboots, which in turn resulted in a 500 MB SP2. Maybe I'll be done in a couple of days. Who knows what's next?

In the midst of all the updating, there was very little time to play Vindictus (I finally started an alt playing as the new Evie mage character), but more time to watch TV. As if we did not have enough to keep track of, we added Blue Bloods (new cop series with Donnie Wahlberg and Tom Selleck), as well as The Walking Dead (zombies!). Apart from a few episodes of the aforementioned shows, we also checked out the latest Fringe, Hawaii Five-0, Sons Of Anarchy and Weeds.
