Man, was I tired today. For some reason, this weekend drained me, and all systems shut down this afternoon. I had to take a quick power nap. Before passing out, I wanted to play some CrimeCraft, but since the server was down for maintenance, I booted up Torchlight again, and that game sucked me in for hours again. Think I'll have to spend more time with it so I can properly level up my character.
Met up with one of our friends who recently moved out of state, and we of course had to re-celebrate the New Year with copious amounts of alcohol. *cheers*

The holidays are official over, so it's back to work we go. I'm sure it will be somewhat quiet for the next few weeks until companies rev up again and reveal upcoming titles or launch new games that were delayed from the holiday run-up.
We did not do much on Sunday, since the missus was still having back issues, so we lounged around the house, play some more Rock Band 2 and CrimeCraft, and finished up Alfred Hitchcock's 1946
Notorious.
