We're kicking off another week. Hope everybody out there had a great weekend. Very uneventful over here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. We ran some errands, did some gaming (CrimeCraft, Borderlands, L4D2) and, of course, watched some TV. Checked out the latest episode of Flashforward and the season finale of The Amazing Race, even though our favorite team did not win.
With the holidays approaching, it will most likely start slowing down news-wise after the Video Game Awards until early January, but of course we will stay on top of the latest and report accordingly. Next weekend, we will be getting our Christmas tree and start preparations for the festivities and the obligatory year-end gaming features.

Alien Breed Evolution, powered by the Unreal Engine 3, is an action packed, tense single-player adventure and an absolute blast of a co-op game, a "retro-modern" remake of the 1991 original that helped the now-indie dev/publisher burst onto the Amiga scene 18 years ago.

The Moroccan shindig was pretty cool. Wasn't quite certain what to expect food-wise, but it's surprsingly normal with loads of chicken and lamb ... and a bellydancer for entertainment, of course.
Didn't get much watching done apart from "Bones," so since we have nothing specific planned for tomorrow, we can plant ourselves on the couch and watch some movies (we got
Coraline,
Stander, and
Notorious) and eat some Häagen-Dazs.

A new open-world environment stealth-action thriller, The Saboteur is set against the dramatic backdrop of occupied France and based on a true story, the personal tale of one man's fight to find and kill the Nazi thugs who murdered his friends. Pandemic has posted
a workaround for the game crashing on ATI cards, which requires users to disable any additional cores on multicore computers, which is terrible since the game's system requirements ask for a quad core.

And here we are again, the weekend.
No big plans scheduled, apart from going to
Adam's birthday dinner at some Moroccan joint and running some errands. Got a few Netflix movies to watch, and I'll try to catch up on a few episodes of Criminal Minds and NCIS LA.
It seems my new PSU and gfx card have resolved a black screen issue that I started having a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty happy about that. The only game that I couldn't run properly without chugging was Red Faction: Guerrilla, so I'll have to give that a whirl and see if it runs smoothly now.
Last night's Stargate Universe episode was rather good, especially the sweet ending. Eat it, Dr. Rush!
