I'm a redneck! I really am. We went for a walk on Sunday, and even though I covered myself with sunscreen, my neck got sunburned. Don't ask me how I managed, but oddly enough, it's mainly my left side, while the right part is nicely tanned. Maybe we walked in circles and only my left side was exposed. Who knows?
This weekend is my birthday, and I think my wife is trying to tell me something. She got me a 4GB iPod shuffle, while I have a perfectly good 160GB Nano that fits quite a large portion of my music collection. Apparently the shuffle is best suited for exercising, working out, and running. I'm not sure, but I think this is a sign of things to come ....

It's the final countdown! It's the last week before E3, last-minute appointments (in our case, 80% of them) are being set up, and final preparations (in our case, first preparations) are being made to take the trip to Los Angeles and mentally ready ourselves for a week of gamers' body odor.
This weekend, we'll hang out with our friends from 1C, drink vodka leftovers, maybe see a movie, watch some DVR shows and catch up on sleep so that we're well-rested for the gaming madness.

One press event down, one more to go this week. Tonight 1C Company will show off its upcoming titles at the Russian Consulate, and that's always a good event.
Monday's CrimeCraft content update caused some server instabilities over the past couple of days, but all is working smoothly again. One of my attentive gang members noticed that there should be two new maps coming up, according to a map/server list.
I've started watching
Justified, with Timothy Olyphant, known for Deadwood and Hitman: The Movie. So far, it is quite decent, but nothing too spectacular. Good thing I like his acting style.

As for the "Prince of Persia" movie screening on Tuesday night, it's the best video game movie so far. That might sound like a backhanded compliment, but it's not. The film had really high production value, lots of action, and a few references to the video game series (though we also saw some crossover with Assassin's Creed). The creative and complicated fight sequences were good and changed things up to keep you guessing. There's an overly long sequence near the end that kills the flow of the movie, but overall, we liked it and would recommend it.
Our blank E3 schedule has been made, and now it's time to fill it up with dozens of appointments Let the scheduling nightmare begin!

We had friends over to watch the series finale of Lost, and while it's been a good six seasons, we have no idea what just happened. Questions were answered, but equally as many new questions have presented themselves. Guess it's open to interpretation so people can form their own conclusions and make of it what they want. I personally don't like these kinds of endings. So many other shows get canceled and you are left hanging without resolution, and these guys had six years to wrap it all up, and they didn't.
We also went to see Date Night, which was surprisingly good and quite funny in a more sarcastic/adult way. Tomorrow, we're going to go see Prince of Persia, so hopefully that won't be a disappointment like most game movie adaptations.
