I think if he actually tried introducing himself, it would be like, "Herrrrrrp! I be Cap-ti-onnnn Dreadlocks! Derrrrrrp!"

Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides (1987 Edition) by mudkipNDS, on Flickr Yup, the exact book that inspired Ron Gilbert to create the Monkey Island series, and I'm reading it right now! Awesome book cover is awesome. Reminds me of the Monkey Island 2 boxart, actually. Though since this book is an old antique (1987 edition), and the cover is just a dustjacket, I've resorted to using the recent release (2006) with the underwhelming lackluster cover in order to preserve the older one from my terrible greasy hands. I've also recently finished Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics on my leisurely spare time, and The Great Gatsby for my class. All I can say is... Daisy's craaaazy, Nick's cool, I mourn for Jay and Wilson and Tom's a d-bag.

I feel like a walking, breathing, and living infomercial at this point*, but I highly recommend you guys get The Incident. It's chock-full of 8-bit music goodness while filled with a 256-color palette reminiscent of those grand ol' 16-bit adventure games. There's a free Lite version available in the App Store if you want to try it out (Apple seriously needs to work out a Demo option, IMO...). Other than that, Rage is a good choice, as is Game Dev Story as well. Infinity Blade may look good from its seriously stunning eye candy, but the gameplay is kind of lacking once you get past the visuals. *Right now, I'm imagining a blinking <ADVERTISEMENT> sign right under my text dialogue. I almost feel like Cobb and his infomercial appearance in Monkey Island 1...

I compromise, actually. I buy new games when they are on sale. I rarely buy used games, if ever.
