Looks like my admission that last weekend’s weather was going to be nice (and it was!) brought a curse to the area this weekend. Yeah, that’s it…a Halloween Curse. Anyhow, it’s been raining non-stop for about three days and signs indicate that it won’t be getting better over the weekend. So now everyone has an excuse to play plenty of games, as if we wouldn’t anyways!
Have a good weekend everyone…rain or shine!

Seriously though, how did some of you get your hands on amazing betas like crysis and UT3?
Perks of the job. [/pun]
I think the Crysis demo is out for everyone today.
Why exactly is it raining in the States but not the UK? The internet has so many paradoxical situations it’s unreal..
I was reading the thing about the design of the Pip-Boy 3000 for Fallout 3 and I though instead of
having a UI object pop-up showing the Rad. Just make
a little ticking sound similar to real radiation gauges.

Im throwing down the gauntlet engineers are my fav class. Gamertag is Fallout1982.
Orange box seems to be the game-of-choice…You do get a ton’o'content. I’m still wailin’ away at Bioshock, Halo 3, and Forza 2 on the Xbox360, and NWN 2 (plus Mask expansion) on PC. Sure could use some of that rain in San Diego right about now…:)
