The weekend is over, so it's back to the grind ....
Not much happened yesterday. We did our chores, watched some DVR (Human Target, The Good Wife), played some video games, and then we watched the premiere episode of HBO's new miniseries, The Pacific. Made by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this is the successor, not sequel, to Band of Brothers. While it's also set during WWII, this miniseries focuses on the Pacific Theater of the war instead of the European part. It has mostly been an introduction to some of the characters and one minor encounter with the enemy, the Japanese Imperial Army. So far so good. Can't wait to see the next episode, and hopefully, they'll kick it up a notch.

Two more days of GDC, and we're home free for a few more months until E3, not counting Wonder-Con in early April. Got a busy day ahead of us, and Saturday will probably be spent just walking around the exhibit, saying our goodbyes to people.
If we don't have too much catching up to do, we might see Green Zone this weekend, but our DVR is filling up quite nicely again so we might just plop on the couch and turn into potatoes.
Earlier this week, CrimeCraft finally received a major update, not only fixing a nasty virtual memory error that's been plaguing the game since beta, but also adding a new (huge and awesome) 32-player map and a feature for daily tournaments. It's a long overdue, but excellent, update (so far).
