So the visit to the
Asian Art Museum to see the
Samurai exhibit was actually quite cool: lots of armor, swords and lore to read up on. Unfortunately, my wife and the other people we were with wanted to take the opportunity to visit the rest of the museum while we were there .... Couldn't care less who ate what out of which white pot or whatever that weird bento box means. *yawn*
Went to a Burmese restaurant afterwards. Never tasted that cuisine, and I must say it was quite good.
Then back to the homested for — you guessed it — some
CrimeCraft and watching
Green Lantern: First Flight, a cool new cartoon released ealier this year.

When Microsoft
shut down Shadowrun studio FASA, founder
Jordan Weisman bought back the rights to MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies and the other properties in the FASA catalog, and formed Smith & Tinker. At that time, it was too early to announce any plans, but in the meantime it has been confirmed that Piranha Games is working on Mechwarrior 5. Unfortunatly it seems the released trailer infringes on certain trademarked figures from the Robotech/Macross universe, owned by Harmony Gold, who has
been sending out cease and desist orders.
