That Infinity Ward vs. Activision debacle sure looks like it's turning into a pissing contest. It'll be interesting to read more info about what occurred to lead up to the firings.
One more day to go through until the weekend. Can't wait for the few days of peace and quiet before GDC starts. Shortly after that madness, we're planning on a long weekend break to see the sights in Seattle. There will be the obligatory hike on Mount Rainier, for obvious reasons.
No major plans for this weekend. There are no movies coming out that we want to see (waiting for
Green Zone the week after), but we are picking up a new iPod.
