    I think I'm confused. Does this work for streaming video sites like Netflix? Or is this like an internet browser for your TV?

    Obviously, the 20-year-old demographic doesn't need one of these, but it sounds like the perfect thing for my ~60-year-old parents.

    Steam Holiday Sale

    When Wes, Halt, and Tom visited me and FireSlash at Skyline Chili on their way to MAG, I printed out the day's daily deals for them.

    Here's my haul, in inverse order of when I got them.

    For myself - 11 games for ~$33:

    Braid - $2.50

    Defense Grid - $2.50

    Max Payne 1

    -and 2 - $3.75

    Osmos - $2

    Sid Meier's Civ 4 Collection - $13.60

    -Beyond the Sword

    -Warlord

    -Colonization

    Jade Empire - $3.75

    Torchlight - $5

    Gifts - 8 games for ~$35:

    Torchlight - $5

    Mass Effect - $5

    Star Wars Premier Pack (6 games?)- $25

    Not on this list are the games I got for Christmas, Shattered Horizons and the Star Wars Jedi Knight Pack. I will never ask for STEAM games again for Christmas because everything is 75% off a few days later. Maybe they'll have STEAM gift cards by then?

    Also, I find it surprising that I actually spent more on gifts than for myself. It was just easier to buy a $5 game for someone than try to tell them, "OMG GET ON STEAM RIGHT NOW THIS GAME YOU NEED IS ON SALE BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MORE HOURS GO GO GO!!"

    Did you see the incorrect ones? For about 20 minutes, the deals weren't updated. You could buy Crysis for $40, wow what a deal!

    That said, there's not a lot here that interests me. I bought Shattered Horizons for $20 a month ago and now feel like a doofus.

    I'm still waiting on some more RPG deals like Mass Effect and Elder Scrolls.

    Booya new sale. I got the max payne bundle for 3.49. But if you don't have osmos, get it, worth 2 bucks.

    Bought both of those, as well as the complete Civ 4 pack. I was going to just get Colonization, until I realized that the adding on the other three was like $3.40 more.

    Also, I did decide to get Jade Empire, mostly because this is the "Special Edition" and I just had the regular one.

    That and STEAM > All.

    Mega Man 10

    A lot of today's gamers didn't buy Mega Man 9 because the demo was too hard. Fact is that they'll sell more copies if there's an easy mode to pander to those prepubescent XBOX LIVE kiddies.

    Also, I will probably buy it. :<

    Good deals on Wii games?

    Gamestop will probably be doing buy-2-get-1 the weekend before and the weekend after Christmas.

    Actually, they're doing one this weekend. Starts tonight at 7 p.m.

    During this time, you could pick up a bunch of cheap Nintendo games that just price dropped. Wario Land Shake it, Animal Crossing, Wii Music, and Excite Bots are all $17.99 used right now.

    T-shirt: size XL.

    Systems: XBOX 360, PC, everything Nintendo.

    I really like random video game themed stuff. I especially need a video game themed keychain. Figurines, posters and the like are really cool, too. You could also go with video game T-shirts, although I have a bunch of random ones since I work at GameStop.

    I definitely don't need anything expensive. Small, silly video game knick knacks would be awesome.

    Left 4 Dead 2 - now $6.80 on Steam!

    It's really hard to get time off to play a video game when you work at a video game store.

    Me: Yeah I need the 17th off. All day.

    Boss: Nope, I need you for Assassin's Creed 2, L4D2, Tony Hawk Ride, NCAA Basketball 2010, LEGO Indiana Jones 2, God of War collection, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, the Sims 3 expansion, another Naruto game, The Princess and the Frog, some other new crap, oh and we're still selling Modern Warfare 2 and New Super Mario Bros out of our nose, so no.

    Me: Dammit.

    Boss: Actually, I need you to come in an hour early or so. Also, you'll probably have to stay late, too.

    Me: FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Ok, that would be all well and good, and I'd totally use that great advice...

    ...if I had a character left. Let me re-iterate: the game TRASHED my save file. There is nothing left. At all. A 20k$ death seems like peanuts compared to losing a character with money and guns worth over 500k$ and an infinite ammo shotgun.

    So... yeah. Protip: don't turn off the game unless you're saving; the autosave in this game WILL screw you over.

    Another pro-tip is to spend your money instead of saving it. Dying just takes a portion of whatever's in your wallet, so buy those big silly shields and guns to bring your total close to 0.
