  1. I finished up my circuit of Tarantino films (minus Grindhouse, I'll get around to that eventually) finally. They're all great. Pulp Fiction is exactly the kind of movie I avoid for a long time because of its popularity as meme material. Of course, after I saw Inglourious Basterds I realized I needed to see the rest of his movies. I really liked them all. Even Jackie Brown, which is probably his least talked about movie.

  2. Even the world of Avatar people talk so much about didn't seem that thrilling to me. What do you mean when you say world? Do you mean the CG imagery that went into making it look real, or the concept of the world itself and all the creatures in it? If you're talking about the concept, I thought it was kind of bare. Floating rock islands, WHOOOOOOOO. GLOWING THINGS THAT SPIN...OOOOOHHHHH

    DRAGONS

    OOOHHH

    Sorry, I just don't see it as some mind blowing, legendary creation. Then again, its a movie and you don't really have the time to just stuff a movie full of things to make the world interesting. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad by any means, I just wasn't wowed by it for some reason.

  3. Does anyone have the PC port of Dead Space and have anything to say about its quality? I kind of want to get it but I've heard some really bad/mediocre things about it.

    My tally:

    Super Meat Boy

    VVVVV

    Machinarium

    Far Cry 2 (Bought it thinking it was Uncharted; not sure why)

    I still have STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl from last year. Is this game good? I remember trying to play it, it crashed immediately, and I forgot all about it.

  4. I only buy stuff from steam when it is on sale. I waited a whole year to get the Price of Persia games on sale. Sure enough, this year they were on sale, so I bought them. If I miss out on anything this year, I will merely wait till next year to get them on sale again, maybe even cheaper. I'm hoping Rocket Knight goes more on sale, though I suspect it wont, so I'll probably be buying that one on January 2nd.

    Additionally, I recommend picking up The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. If you liked Braid, then this should be worth your $0.50. I beat it in a single sitting, so don't expect any more than half a dollar's worth of game play though.

    VVVVVV is also a real winner if your a fan of 2D platforming. It was worth $5, so it should definitely be worth $2.50.

    I'm the same way man. I don't work yet so I'm so money conscience that I will not buy games until years later when they're 1/3 of their original price.

  5. Hmm...even if I do the two relatively-easy ones today, I'd still only be at nine, so I wouldn't have a shot at the grand prize unless I shelled out for some random game in the list with money I don't have. Meh, screw it. I'm kind of miffed that neither Portal nor any of Half-Life 2 (or hell, even Alien Swarm) showed up anywhere in the objectives, since those all would have been easy pickings.

    Those would basically be freebies, and wouldn't earn them any game sales.
