I sort of wonder that as well. I mean, I've gifted someone both the train sim and Secret of the Magic Crystals before and I've seen tons of threads on reddit or somethingawful with the same exact thing. The joys of steam sales, I guess.

Gifted to me. I never asked for this.

I'm not in favor of removing the second amendment, as I think it's been an integral part of our society for so long no amount of reason or logic is going to get it to go away. Like it or not, it's one of the things the US was founded directly on. I am in favor of much, much stricter laws when buying guns, though. I think it varies from state to state, but a week long waiting period and a small background check just isn't enough in my opinion when selling a device designed to cause bodily harm.

http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ It's an anagram generator. Awesome.

I hear it's a bit of a beta still, but I don't care. I'm curious, and $10 seems like a fair price for a bit of curiosity.

Das Racist never fails to make me laugh. The second verse on this in particular is pure gold.

I really like Bohemia games. Even though this is apparently mediocre, I'll probably buy anything they slap their name on.

Yeah, if you want to keep enjoying Telltale games, don't play The Walking Dead yet, FLD. I think it's far better than all of their previous works, but the tried to refine the point and click formula a bit and were completely successful. In fact, I hate point and clicks usually, and I loved The Walking Dead. Really looking forward to Episode 3.

Well, that was... enlightening? I mean, the ideas are nothing new to me, it's just the presentation with the cop winking etc that surprised me. And the Windows Movie Maker text effects never fail to dissapoint.

A friend bought me Train Sim 2012 as a "gift". So I gifted him Duke Nukem Forever back. I think I win.

Black. Only real way to drink coffee.

I miss the old rapping Beck sometimes. Just sometimes, though.

$9.99 is cheeeeeap.

So far the flash deals have proved far more deadly for me than the actual daily deals... I figured rather than picking up Gods and Kings right now (as 25% off isn't quite enough for me to get it), I'd just get Civ4 instead. Oh, also bought Q.U.B.E.

Plus some DLC. Don't really care if it's not too big of a jump from 3, honestly. Tropico is fun, and this might get me to play it a tad more.

Picked up AC:Revelations for my purchase. Considered MP3, but passed it up still, as I'm running out of HD space and $30 is still a lot. Honestly, I'm sort of glad I've bought so much stuff in the past. Nearly all the games I want I already have from past sales...

It's a multi-platform game. I wouldn't be too worried.

Pretty much what Ethan said. And I'm currently not at a Uni yet. It's worth noting too that your eventual degree only has one name on it: the name of the school you graduate from. So even if you jump schools over and over and eventually end up at Harvard, your degree is going to look the same as someone who went to Harvard for 4 years.

As Mal said, CC's are the most common ways of getting a 3rd tier education. I'll toss in a few things I've found interesting as I've "progressed" through the system, though, just because I can't think of any more to explain that Ethan or Mal hasn't said. On the topic of federal financial aid, it doesn't actually take into account how much the school in question costs when handing out payments. Whether or not you're going to a private school costing 50K annually or a community college costing less than 1K, FAFSA is still going to give you around 5K if you're in the lowest income bracket. Then the next year that amount will decrease slightly, and the next year more, and so on. In my case, it's going to result in me getting my 5K and 4K (maybe, not sure yet) in years when I won't actually be going to schools that cost that much. So that's interesting. There's also in-state and out-of-state tuition, which probably perfectly exemplifies (in my eyes) just how fucked up the UC/CSU system is. Long story short, schools charge more/less based on what state you've established residency in, and sometimes it's a lot more for out of state students. In my case, I want to go out-of-state, but it doesn't really make any sense to without moving up there for a year, because I'd be paying about 35K rather than the 12K that resident students pay. What really puts the salt in the wounds is that CSUs (second tier usually, there are a few exceptions) cost about 12K annual, the same price as 1st tier state school if you're a resident. UC's cost about the same as those 1st tier out-of-state schools paying out of state tuition. I'm not sure if any of that made sense, but my main point is that UC's are completely overpriced, as you could go to a comparable out-of-state school and pay less, even if you'd be in the non-resident tuition bracket.

So far, finished Spec Ops: The Line. Still have Crysis 2 and Syndicate to finish, but at this point I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Considering just setting the difficulty to easy and blazing through them both, as there's no achievements tied to them.

Huh, that's true about the puns. I can't think of any that have nun at all...
