The internet service here in the BlueTower tends to be quite reliable, but in honor of Murphy's Law, was pretty flaky yesterday, amid the tons of game media released at Gamescom. It wasn't bad enough to required stepping down to my backup DSL connection, but enough to be a headache. I'm not sure if it was related, but it seemed YouTube was being difficult at times too, which compounded things. Thankfully it seems like this has cleared up today, so I'm anticipating smoother sailing today.
