Last night we entertained some friends for dinner, wine, and a movie. A good time was had by all.
We watched
The Fourth Kind with Milla Jovovich and Will Patton, which was much better than we'd anticipated. Whether or not you believe in what transpired, it is quite interesting and was left open for interpretation. It had us discussing for quite a bit afterward, analyzing the movie, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and so forth. It was fueled by wine and beer, so it was quite fun either way.

There's an overwhelming amount of announcements and assets coming out of GamesCom. It almost feels like there is more going on than at E3 this year.
Very sad to hear about
Real Time Worlds and APB. Hopefully a solution can be found. After all the CrimeCraft drama, a lot of former players and friends have migrated over there, so it would be most unfortunate. A much-heard complaint is with the combat system, but it's more a matter of getting used to it. The sheer amount of customization and in-game items (vehicles, guns, etc.) is mind-boggling and sure makes up for that.

Another beautiful day around these parts, but we decided to stay in, relax, plop ourselves on the couch and watch Burn Notice and Entourage. We planned on watching Fanboys, but some family stopped by, and that killed that plan.
I did, however, manage to get to work on swapping out my motherboard, hard drives and power supply to my new case, so hopefully the airflow will be much better now.

Weekend again, and this one has special meaning since we are celebrating our eighth wedding anniversary! No super special plans, apart from a nice dinner, probably a movie and lots of smooching!
No hiking or concerts this weekend, so it should be nice and relaxing. Maybe i'll even get around to doing my long-overdue case and HD PVR projects.
Last night we watched some Burn Notice, and I also just received the first issue of the Kane & Lynch comic book.
