Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

But he does have the original "Fighting Street" (for PC Engine/Turbografx-16, unless I miss my guess), which is amazing and makes up for any minor omissions in my mind. Read more

I'll check if it's on Netflix or Zune before I consider buying the DVDs, though. I'm all about digital distribution these days. Read more

This is my favourite so far! Awesome. Read more

I can't explain why, but I absolutely love it when past 'shops infiltrate present ones like this. Read more

It's amazing because of that. Wow. The woman on the right, is she from Lethal Enforcers? Read more

I know this is nitpicking, but still it bugs me. Read more

Branding is very important in business. So, you know, Sony's now muddling their branding for what appears to be no good reason. Not impressed so far, Hirai. Read more

Yes, I'll likely check it out. Thanks. :) Read more

Like the anniversary edition of Halo, yes that would be super-cool! There have been updates of books, and my understanding of how it works is that they send you an email and give you the choice on whether to update or not; if you do update you'll get the new (presumably better edition). If you don't, you can keep… Read more

Dietz can't be blamed for Halo: The Flood. He wrote exactly the book he was asked to write, a re-telling of the Halo: Combat Evolved storyline written as a modern military drama as opposed to a space opera book like the other Halo novels. Can't blame Dietz for doing his job. And I liked some of what he added to the… Read more

Seems like it, based on what I've read so far of her Gears and Halo books. She's not a huge name yet, but that doesn't mean she isn't excellent. Read more

I looked at one of the Mass Effect books in the store once, and it had that "man, this looks bad" feel to it. :) Read more

Don't blame Dietz for Halo: The Flood. He did *exactly* what was asked of him: a telling of the Halo: Combat Evolved storyline told as if it were a modern military drama, rather than a space opera epic like the other Halo books. That's not Dietz's fault. Read more

I really want to read Contact Harvest next, but I also want to read The Hunger Games before the movie comes out because my girlfriend and a co-worker both say THG is excellent. Read more

I haven't started the Greg Bear series yet, but it looks like it's largely telling the story hinted at in the terminals in Halo 3 (the AI that goes roque, the librarian, etc.). Is that correct? Read more

I saw that, but wondered if they were any good. Thanks for that. I'll see if they're on Kobo. Read more

The Fall of Reach succeeds so strongly because of the flashbacks to John and the others as children (hell, all the way back to some of them being abducted by the government). That's a very, very strong story-within-a-story. I mean, when the kids were abandoned in the woods and had to fight their way (against armed… Read more

I'm waiting for the 1Q84: Book Of The Year Edition. It comes with all the bonus chapters, the special forward by the author, the corrected text Murakami released to address customer concerns (the book almost never closes now), the dust jacket, and a new limited edition bookmark just for the Book Of The Year Edition! … Read more

Holy crap, comment of the year! Right here! Read more

Of course the new PS and Xbox are going to be a tonne more impressive. By holiday 2013, the 360 will be *8* years old. Longest generation in history. Read more
