We just got back from the Scorpions concert, and it was awesome. Good fun and good show! After 45 years, they are calling it quits. Since this was their farewell tour, they performed all their best songs like Blackout, Rock you Like a Hurricane, Big City Nights, Wind of Change, No One Like You, Dynamite and a slew of others. Oddly enough, they didn't sing Still Loving You. Wonder what the story is behind that one ...
Later today, we're going to a PopCap event and checking out something to do with Plants vs. Zombies. Nomz!

Our favorite days have arrived: the weekend!
We'll be running some errands today, maybe watch Angelina Jolie's new movie Salt, and a few other minor things during the day.
Yesterday, I finally managed to check out StarCraft II, but I'm only on the second mission, so it's a little bit early to give any kind of critique.

After playing APB for a few weeks as Criminals, we noticed that the Enforcer side is a bit overpowered with their stun gun, so we switched sides. Hopefully RTW addresses this issue ASAP, or else the entire community will switch and there won't be any missions to be had anymore.
This weekend we have another concert to attend, the Scorpions farewell tour. They are calling it quits, time for retirement, so it's one last hurrah.

Wow, talk about a slow news day yesterday. I guess everybody is taking it easy after Comic-Con or something.
Last night, we watched some Hell's Kitchen (seems to be getting real steamy over there) and Entourage.
StarCraft II is out today. We got our copies yesterday but haven't had a chance to install it yet, which I shall do in a little bit. Really looking forward to it!
