Considering how hot Quake Wars was going in to this year it doesnt really feel like the buzz went anywhere. Kind of got hit in the head by all those other major releases. Gonna give things a try though with that new Quake Wars patch.

Yay internet tax ban
Daddy why do trees change colors?

Lastly, I gave the Crysis demo a run and I was really quite entertained. The game had way more polish to the interface mechanics than I expected. An absolute beast on system resources though. Made my shiny quad core cry in agony.

I don't think I'm going to give out candy this year... I'd give out apples, but I like my windows :(

      It's always a Thursday night. I don't know what happens if the 31st falls on a Thursday -- they probably have trick or treat on the 24th or something stupid.
