I've flaked on the MOTD for the past couple of days, but I have a legit excuse! I do, really ... I was tired and needed to catch up on my beauty sleep. For the people who've had the misfortune to meet me (all two of them), they know I have a lot of catching up to do.
Later today, we get to meet up with id Software/Bethesda to check out RAGE, play the game, chat with the development team, and maybe a few interviews. Keep an eye out for that coverage somewhere down the line (not sure when the embargo lifts).
In our downtime, we finished Enslaved (good story, frustrating controls), The Witcher 2 (finally in Act 2, loving it) and some APB Reloaded (oddly lag-free for the past two days!).

It seems that we were not the only ones who liked
Captain America: The First Avenger, as Cap unexpectedly kicked
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 off the #1 spot this weekend by making nearly $66 million. Granted, the Potter movie is in its second week, and most people who wanted to see it have already done so, but nobody expected the Captain America movie to perform THIS well. Kudos!
Yesterday was rather uneventful as predicted. We had dinner with friends, and then we watched Falling Skies and Leverage.
Been playing quite a bit of The Witcher 2 and enjoying it a lot, but some of the big fights are frustrating and require a bit of trial and error before you figure out what to do.
