Oh man, it's been years since I watched any new StarGate material. Love the original movie. I got the first bluray release of it and am actually considering getting the newer one since the first one is pretty uneven. Some footage looks amazing ( like when they're out in the desert) and some looks pretty shit and grainy as hell (mostly darker scenes inside temples and such). At one point I owned the first three seasons of SG-1 on DVD. Always meant to watch the rest of it, but it's such a long show that I never got around to it. Atlantis, I loved too. Especially how some episodes really felt like they belonged in some more hard sci-fi series like Star Trek. Again, never watched until the end. Finally, I have yet to watch a single episode of StarGate Universe, though I keep hearing good things about it. I'm a bit hesitant to start it without having properly watched the other shows, though. :/

Well then you just missed a good chance then. Last week ( or week-end, not really sure anymore ) there was an event on Direct2Drive where you could get 20% off anything by using the promo code HOHOHO. Now it's over though. I don't normally use D2D as I prefer to have all my games on Steam, but sometimes it can be pretty sweet to get good deals on games that you have to register on Steam anyway. When I pre-ordered Black Ops they offered a pre-load, but for Civ V they don't even provide data to download. When I click to "download" the game it just brings up a page with a cd-key and instructions on how to register it on Steam. Picked up JC2 as well! It's done downloading now, can't wait to try it later! I've been wanting to play it for a while now.

Judging from what little gameplay footage I've seen, I expect it'll be pretty much like every other Telltale game. i.e. walk around, pick up stuff to use later and find out new information/what you're supposed to do through conversations.

Haven't played Strong Bad either but based on Telltale's other games and the few cartoons I've seen, it should be worth a few laughs. I'm hoping it gets a nice discount on Steam over the holidays.

I'm definitely interested in this. Saw some "leaked" gameplay footage a while back and I got a kind of Crysis vibe from it. Probably the near-future sci-fi aspect of it, I guess. Also Koreans, probably. This is actually one of the top 5 games on my Steam wishlist in case, by some miracle, I happen to win one of the sweepstakes.

So, Telltale Games are a pretty good dev if you're into adventure PC games. I haven't played their Sam & Max seasons yet, but I definitely plan to. I've recently been playing Tales of Monkey Island, and it's pretty damn good. But none of their games are as exciting to me as their next one. Back To The Future is one of those movie trilogies I've been watching and rewatching since I was kid. I just never get sick of it. And every single time I finish the third one, I always get kinda sad that I don't get to see what happens next. Now, thanks to Telltale, that childhood wish will finally be fulfilled later this month! I'm pre-ordering this the second it shows up on Steam! Anyway, this is mainly about anticipation for the BTTF game, but feel free to discuss anything Telltale in here.

I would imagine it (Civ V) will be on sale during the proper holiday sale (which is believed to begin on the 20th), but I wouldn't expect anything more than 25% off, to be honest, since it's still pretty new. I still can't believe I actually got it for free on D2D B)

New set of objectives for the treasure hunt includes one for Just Cause 2, which just happens to be 75% off. That's one thing off my holiday shopping list.

Indeed, maternal/cutlery relations are highly offensive to me. Stop it at once!

Here's a classic.

Dammit! For a second there I seriously hated myself for not thinking of posting the Ecstasy of Gold clip from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly first. But then i clicked to watch it and got some bullshit about MGM blocking it in my country over copyrights crap and it pissed me off :'( ... And yes, I AM too lazy to get up, grab the DVD from the shelf and put it on. Here's something to make up for it, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twtvr4e7O2M

Yeah, 2011 looks like it's going to hurt my wallet. I'll separate them by platform of choice: PS3: Batman: Arkham City Dead Space 2 Killzone 3 inFAMOUS 2 (not entirely sure this one's for 2011 though..) Resistance 3 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception next Assassin's Creed (assuming it's not a handheld title) PC: Crysis 2 Portal 2 Deus Ex: Human Revolution The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Mass Effect 3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim obligatory november COD release Bulletstorm And I'm sure I forgot a few.

Since when do prepurchases need to be cheaper than the actual price of the game ? How is 10% off + early beta access not better than full-price once it comes out?

Oh, I see. Hadn't really considered that stuff since the PC version has dedicated servers, so it's pretty much never going to be a problem. I still hear a lot of complaining from the PC crowd, though.

I know very little of this. I somehow got the idea that it's similar to TF2, is that correct? I'm asking because while I don't have a 360, I just seconds ago got a notice that it's available for pre-order on Steam. Since it seems to be pretty popular around here, I figured it might be worth looking into.

lol Well I'm not saying it's the best movie of all time or anything. But I liked it.

I must be the only person on the planet to not have had any problem whatsoever with Black Ops? I mean, it was pretty unplayable on launch day. But it got patched that very day (had to verify cache integrity for it to start downloading, so i guess the patch wasn't "officially" released), but it's been playing flawlessly ever since. Are most of you guys playing on consoles or PC?

Made the mistake of starting a new game of Civ V last night. So yeah, that's probably all I'm going to be able to play for the next week. That game is worse than crack. It's not a time sink, it's a freaking black hole. 1 am: "Sweet, entered the Medival Era. I'll just build a few swordsmen and go to bed." 6 am: "Alright, that should be plenty... 6 AM?! What the hell happened?!"

Always loved the courtroom speech scene from Boondock Saints.

Man, I so want to go on vacation to Pripyat! But Chernobyl will have to do, I guess...

Actually shopped around for a new gaming mouse last month. I was using a crappy Dell one and the scrolling wheel stopped clicking, so I had to replace it. Had my sight set on the Logitech MX518 for a while (the one Cyber Rat posted), but ultimately I went with a Razer DeathAdder and I'm really glad I did.

I really need to grab Diabolical Box Mysterious Village was the first game I bought for my DS and I freaking loved it. Not so big on the replay value, though Also LOL. I still like Penny-Arcade, but I must admit they haven't had a good one like that in a while That one's just perfect.

It's been confirmed on their forums that it's a new in-house engine. http://www.examiner.com/console-gaming-in-national/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-uses-brand-new-engine

So far I've only grabbed some of the very cheap titles in the current sale. AaaAAaaaA, Chime and Shatter Keeping most of my funds for the holiday sale in hopes of picking up some big titles I missed over the year. The biggest items on my shopping list would be: -Just Cause 2 -Fallout 3 GOTY (finished the original game 2 years ago but havent played any of the DLC yet) -Splinter Cell Conviction -Borderlands DLC I grabbed such an insane amount of stuff last year that this year can't possibly compare.
