I have a purring cat kneading his claws on my belly right now. Too cute to remove.

Second one was supposed to be a bit better, but I suppose I'll never know. Saves from the first game are dead along with my fried PS3.

Cool, added folks.

I think this wasn't even a collector's edition where you had to pay more - they just gave it to you if you pre-ordered. I never actually opened it because I never finished the first game.

YUM! I ate that yesterday with the fiancee. We split a chicken burrito with rice and cheese. I actually don't like Chipotle. I know, I'm weird.

I've got an ancient and embarrassing email forever linked to my account, so I can empathize.

If a bunch of old-school, mindless FPS slaughter is your thing, definitely. I loved what I played of the first one when it first came out years back, but it's really a matter of how you like your FPS. I think today's the first day in the sale I haven't bought something for myself or someone else... Although, I need to check and see if one of my friends has played KOTOR. Because if not...

For Jacks.

See my sig below. I let my XBLA expire though, so I'm rarely on.

Hmm... I'm trying to remember where I stopped playing. Chapter Three maybe? Might have been two... I remember the guy at the hunting lodge getting all smashed up, but I can't remember how far I got after that. I loved the atmosphere of the game, but for some reason the combat started irritating me and feeling repetitive or something. The more I think about it though, the more I want to finish the game just for the atmosphere.

This is my dilemma in a lot of games, but Alan Wake was a prime example, and it was something that oddly frustrated me. I actually never finished the game. It's on my ridiculously long 'need-to-finish' list.

Boy, you'd love my mom.

I knew this had to be in here somewhere. Just seeing screenshots of the game deaths in these disturbed me to no end when I was a youngin'

Woah. I can't believe I didn't realize that, until this. ^

I actually dug Terminator Salvation, but I'm a whore for Worthington. That said, the best example I've EVER seen of an awesome trailer and a horrible movie: This is seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and yet one of the best trailers. Whoever cut he trailer is a genius - they literally took the best few seconds of the film and mashed them together in an incredibly appealing manner.

I'm going to add everyone in this thread in a few days when I get back to the city and have proper use of Steam again.

I finally saw the new Harry Potter tonight, with my mom and dad. It was great! Looking forward to the last one. I grew up with the books, and was roughly the same age as 'Harry' when they started, so it's kind of strange to finally have it all be at an end.

I would have voted 'It doesn't matter one bit,' a few years ago, but from more recent experience, I have to say it would be really nice to have someone to play more than casual games with. Video games have always been a part of my life, and like most things in life, they're something that become far more enjoyable with close friends, or ideally, a significant other. Still, that's in 'an ideal world.' It seems I tend to fill that old cliche and attract complete opposites who are about as interested in video games as I am in fashion, and vice versa.

Yeahh... I dunno if I've gone a day without buying something in the sale, yet.

Haha... yeahh. I'm in middle of nowhere too, right now. With internet that is only about ten times the speed of dial-up. When even youtube videos takes forever to load, I think you're officially in the boonies.

I got my sister all three Sierra Gabriel Knight games today. We've been looking for them for, literally, years. When we were kids we took a tour of Sierra Online for my sister's school project (the company was based in the town I grew up in) and we saw GK2 being made. My mom wouldn't let us play it because it was M and were young, but I think we borrowed a copy anyway. Regardless, for something like ten years we've been looking for a copy to download, since the disks are long gone, but it wasn't out there - legal issues, apparently. Seems they finally got that cleared though, because 1 - 3 were on GoG and I found and bought them for her today. She was literally squealing out of excitement (talked to her over the phone, she's with the in-laws for Christmas). It was great - neither of us found a present for each other because we were so busy and I felt shitty just getting her a giftcard, so this was perfect. Made my Christmas, really.

Odd, my post didn't post. Carrotan, but I'm rarely on these days.

In honor of the PSN IDs thread, I present the Steam ID thread. Post your IDs or profile links here (since IDs don't always seem to work). Mine currently is: ForgetfulBrain or http://steamcommunity.com/id/the_forgetful_brain

I'm trying to remember what I've bought on the PSN. Got Deathspank, but I wish I'd waited and got it on the PC - bought it with the intent of playing 2P with someone, but didn't really happen. Battlefield 1943 (?) was also a bit of a disappointment. It just felt kind of bland and empty, IMO, compared to the other BF games. Siren is downloadable - pretty darn scary, too, if you like Survival Horror. I never finished it - I need to someday. It was really depressing and confusing, story-wise, where I was in the game, but it was good (and terrifying).
