I've totally had days like that, especially in Gears. A couple of nights ago I was stuck in my Insane playthrough at the part in Act I where you zip line down onto Centennial Bridge. If anyone has played it recently you'll remember that it drops you like 20 feet from a Gunker which let me tell you on insane is no… Read more

Yeah this is the way I usually feel as well. I wanted dungeon defenders when it came out but I just tucked it on my wishlist. Then oh look, yesterday I got it for $3.74. Read more

A thread like this is how I ended up with SpderWeb and Kobun on my friends list ;) As much fun as the game is, it's so much moreso when you have a ton of friends who play because there is always that carrot to move up one more slot on your friends leaderboard for each table. Read more

Wow, epic Valve troll on all of us. Well played! Jerks. Read more

Well no, not really. Instead of just more powerful cards, the expansions usually add other mechanics that can lead to interesting combinations with the cards that come with the base set. But the games I mentioned (and I'm sure the warcraft one will be similar) are perfectly playable and have a lot of variety with just… Read more

Yeah, like Gavello said, this is a fixed box of cards. It's similar to Dominion, Thunderstone or the Ascension game Fahey mentioned where you randomize the cards that are available to acquire during play and everyone starts with the same basic deck of 10-12 cards. On your turn you can do some combination of buying… Read more

Can anyone vouch for how good or not today's first deal, Terraria, is? I mean, for $2.50 it almost doesn't matter but I've been curious about it for awhile. Read more

You can't go wrong with free - try Pocket Frogs and Tiny Tower. Can't tell you how much time I have spent with those games that I spent all of zero dollars on. Read more

You know I was actually going to write 2004 because obviously the tech was developed in the 12-18 months leading up to release but I figured people would call me out for not knowing what year it was released in! But yeah, it's pretty darn old tech by now ;) Read more

Some of the deals were just absurd. At one point I saw the 4gb model for $139 on amazon. I sprang for the $99 kinect w adventures/gunstringer/fruit ninja deal - I think the kids and I will have a lot of fun messing around with it. Read more

It will probably be one of those lightning deals at some point today. Just about all the current releases were on for $28-35 at one point or another on black friday; I'd expect the same today. (excluding Skyrim and Saints Row 3 which of course are the 2 I'm most looking for) Read more

FYI it looks like it will be on sale again on Amazon starting in exactly 1 hour as one of the black friday lightning deals - 1:15pm us eastern time :D Read more

Ooo, I've been waiting for this!! I just bought the Introversion humble indie bundle yesterday just to get warmed up ;) Read more

A lot of people don't realize but he is also the blue bird in Angry Birds. The man has some serious chops! Read more

Have you looked at the google calendar/scheduler? Read more

Aw man, I was still holding out hope this would suddenly come out sometime before the end of 2011. Well I guess the good news is that it will be even awesomer when it finally does come out! Honestly I'll wait as long as they need; the first Torchlight was so good. Read more

Well we did get Guardian Heroes recently for xbla! But generally you're right; I'm certainly not holding my breath for re-releases of Dragon Force or some kind of deluxe 'Shining Force 3' package. Read more

I'll see your wager and raise you the 'Venture Compound' band I made for Rock Band 3 - Rusty Venture, Brock, Dr. Orpheus and Triana. Read more

Is it for the part where the main character sings along with a song on the radio? Read more
