Yesterday was Columbus Day, big whoopty doo! I think only the banks and post office were closed, so it wasn't a real holiday around these parts.

While Adam was over at the Capcom event checking out Dark Void and driving high-end Tesla sports cars, we worked, took a nap, ate, watched some more Amazing Race, worked some more, watched Sunshine Cleaners on DVD, ate again, and watched the latest episode of House.

*sarcasm* Yes, what a busy day!

Tomorrow should be a good gaming day. Brutal Legend and Forza 3 are starting off this Rocktober week in style!

We saw Surrogates today, and while I'm a big Bruce Willis fan, I must admit that this is not his best work. It was just a weak movie with a weak story, and it was also slow on several occasions. If you insist on seeing it, wait for it to be available as a DVD rental. It's definitely not a movie that needs to be seen in the theatre.

Apart from that, we didn't do a whole lot. Watched Smallville, some more The Amazing Race, and checked out Operation Flashpoint 2, which has good graphics and may be easier to get into and has fewer bugs than its rival, Arma II.

There are three press trips lined up for this week, so there's plenty of gaming goodness coming your way. Stay tuned ....

Today, I met up with some of the CrimeCraft developers, and people who follow my daily whining know by now that I'm an avid fan, so I had to vent.
