I'm not quite sure what's all going on over at Netflix. The once-promising and -lucrative company seems to be flailing about, making stupid decision after stupid decision.

First there was the price hike that caused its subscribers to drop significantly, followed by the splitting up of the business into two entities (DVD and streaming), which would require you to log into two Web sites and have two separate accounts. Today, however, CEO Reed Hastings saw the light and realized this wasn't exactly a good idea, so Qwikster has been shelved, and everything is back under one umbrella.

Makes you wonder what they're going to pull out of their hat next.

Deus Ex installed. See you in a few days ...

Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy faithfully recreates the experience of tactical land warfare in Western France during World War Two. The first installment in this new series covers the three months after the Allied D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944, from Operation Overlord in June through the Cobra Breakout in August.

Sony appointed Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, as Chairman, and Andrew House, President, CEO and Co-COO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, as President and Group CEO of SCEI, while Akira Sato, Chairman, will be retiring, as well as Ken Kutaragi.

The weekend is upon us, and apparently so is the end of the world. Disaster scenarios aside, we have not much planned, apart from maybe going to see Pirates Of The Caribbean, but according to Adam's review, it's not all that hot anyhow.

Now that all the windows have been installed, we're going to spend most of our time moving desks and computers back into the office. I might even have time to play some APB.

Let's not forget about the DVR! Got plenty of goodies on there waiting to be watched.

Picked up Homefront last night and have been going through the single-player campaign. The story is good, the variety of missions and weapons keeps it interesting, and using the "Goliath" is literally a blast. Not quite sure about the length yet, which seems to be a major sticking point from what I have read, but so far so good. I had a chance to play the multiplayer a few weeks ago, so I'm looking forward to trying it out on the public servers once I'm done with the campaign.

Quite a few other games shipped to stores yesterday, so there should some be something for everybody to enjoy.

The weather woes continue! While it is still raining over here, the in-laws had a warning that the strongest storm yet could bring flooding, tornadoes, hail and high winds. Granted, it is supposed to have passed by the time we arrive, but we know that forecasts aren't always punctual, so flying out there isn't exactly comforting.

Velvet Revolver is auditioning for a new lead vocalist, and speculation is going wild, ranging from Slash's solo project frontman Myles Kennedy to Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie. Either way, Slash says it will be interesting.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was nice and sunny with a light breeze — perfect BBQ weather. We went over to our friends' place for lunch, but we spent so much time there that it was dinner time again, but we were still stuffed and had peach cobbler a la mode instead.

This week will be another busy one, with an Activision event tomorrow for Transformers: War for Cybertron. The day after, 1C Company is having its annual gamers day, and Friday is a beer fest with some friends.

Can't ... Eat ... Anymore ....

Trackmania is back on Nintendo's handheld system with an even more complete, more spectacular and more fun-filled edition! Drive racing cars at incredible speeds on spectacular tracks full of ramps, loops, turbo boosts, and other crazy track-blocks.

I've finally given up. The old iPod's on its way out, and a new one is coming in. When I went in to get it repaired, the Apple customer service rep said they would give me a discount if I were to replace my current iPod, so you can't beat that deal.

Passed a quiet evening watching 24, Leverage and nothing else.

Going to be making my schedule for GDC; lots of meetings and press events to go to. I'm not looking forward to it because that only means that E3 is not far behind.

Our little trip is coming to an end. Some family drama is preventing us from taking our little drive up the coast, so instead we are flying back. So much for our much anticipated pit stop for a BBQ feast. On the upside, I guess we'll be home sooner ....

We went and saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday, and I must admit that it was quite enjoyable. The theater was packed, and the movie was equally as action-packed as it was funny. During our Thanksgiving trip, we passed by an outdoor military museum filled with old tanks, artillery and planes, so we are going to check that out in a bit. Should be fun.

In our infinite wisdom, we decided to check out a few new TV series that we'd been on the fence about, The Good Wife and Glee. Unfortunately, now we've decided to add them to our already-lengthy DVR schedule. Now we'll have even less time to actually sleep!

This week should be rather slim news-wise since most companies will shut down early because of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, so expect things to really die down mid-week. We'll be off visiting the in-laws, but the laptops are ready and primed, so we'll be on the case no matter what.

I've been checking out Torchlight, and I must say that it totally sucked me in. It's not really about the story, but the game is just fun.  If you ever played Dungeon Runners / Mythos, or if you're an old-time Diablo gamer, then this is very much like it. I wish the inventory was a bit bigger, even with the additional space from your pet, but maybe that increases later in the game. We'll see.

In Aliens vs. Predator, players will have the chance to take the role of the three infamous species: the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. Each of the three species has its very own distinct story-driven, single-player campaign mode that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species. Being refused a rating by the USK for being too brutal, SEGA refuses to censor the game, and will thus not release it in Germany.

Today's King Tut exhibit wasn't all that bad. Lots of interesting stuff to see and read about, but unfortunately Tutankhamun himself was not there. One of the more interesting tidbits was that his sarcophagus itself was enclosed within 8 additional gold-gilded boxes, with each one bigger than the last. Crazy!

While we were there, we also checked out the rest of the museum, and most of it was boring modern art or crappy paintings that I could care less about, but there was one piece, The Spine and Tooth of Santo Guerro, that represented a cathedral entirely built out of disassembled machine gun barrels, handguns, scopes, various bullets and pellets. Wickedly awesome!

When we finally got home, we watched the new Stargate Universe, which, while being a bit confusing at times with the use of flashbacks, is pretty damn good so far. As if two hours of TV weren't good enough, we also snuck in the latest "Supernatural" episode, which never disappoints with the good music, action and sarcastic humor.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars pairs well-known characters from Capcom's roster of games with some of Japan's most beloved characters from anime powerhouse Tatsunoko Production.

Dante's Inferno is a 3rd action adventure adaptation of the medieval epic poem "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, telling the tale of Dante who journeys through the twisted, menacing nine circles of hell in pursuit of his beloved Beatrice.

Last week, we reported that Pyro Studios, currently working on Planet 51, supposedly revealed during an interview at GamesCom that the Spanish studio will be working on a new installment in its Commandos franchise, which now has been denied, deemed false and dismissed as wishful thinking. While the first two titles were a big success, the 3rd one, making the move from strategy to 3D FPS, was not. No further details or projected release dates were disclosed.

Introducing new class-based gameplay, mobile bases and persistent player progression throughout all game modes, C&C4 offers players new, innovative and compelling strategic depth.
