I pre-order franchises that I know I not only enjoy, but will likely devour for more than one playthrough. Batman: Arkham Asylum? Three full S/P playthroughs, including Harley Quinn. Assassin's Creed: Revelations? Pre-Ordering through Gamestop ::shiver:: meant not having to fork out for that...

Long-time X-Com fan, so the choice was clear... XCOM is arriving today, and Dishonored is waiting its turn, even after ACIII comes out. (Don't have ACIII on pre-order, either... which is a first.) I was enthralled by the early demo vids of Dishonored, but the more I watched them, the more I...

This just makes me that much happier that my BookBook case has no lens hole on it. The only time it is able to take a photo, is when I'm taking a photo. May not be perfect, but works for me.

The ending of Mira Grant's zombie apocalypse novel 'Feed'. Those pages led to me recommending the books to family and friends, whether they enjoy the genre, or not. ...and not one of us is embarrased to acknowledge that tears were profusely shed.

My mind was taken over by a Black Books flashback... "And they ALL drank LEMONADE... The End!"

This actually prompted a search for knowledge, and added another notch to the "Why America's Liturgical Society gets under my skin" list, and I bloody well live here. No, black powder is NOT impact/friction sensitive, and blowing up a casket (which is, technically, possible) would require an...

Just repurchaced X-Com: UFO Defence on Steam so that I could start replaying it before the Oct.9th release of Firaxis's reboot. (and introduced a friend or two of a younger generation to it) Sad thing is, I already have two copies stashed away in boxes, somewhere. All I could scrounge up was...

I've already tracked down my old disk so I can install the original to show it to friends. After the "Xshock" (or would it be "Biocom"?) reboot shooter debacle, I think I actually whooped when I saw the first dev diary video for the new game. I look forward to having my old squad back...

"Did you see those soldiers from the Dawnguard? They have crossbows. CROSS. BOWS." Heheheh... Sorry, couldn't help it. OT: I've been waiting for this DLC to make my Vampiric Necromancer, Abarrach (so sue me, if you recognize the reference... I love that series). Maybe now I can finally...

I loved Heavy Rain, even when having to wait until the dead of night, or short stints during the day when no one else was home. (Made it through the first chapter with my mother-in-law watching, and as soon as "Press [X] to 'Jason'" came up, she stated in no uncertain terms that if anything...

Wow... many of my favorites are already listed. But I'm surprised to not see Howard Tayler anywhere in here, yet. http://www.schlockmercenary.com Schlock is an animorph. Okay, a psychotic, possibly sociopathic, animorph*. (read: sentient blob with eyes) He joins up with a mercenary...

"When they pry my controller from my cold, dead hands." (or keyboard/mouse, depending)

FUS - for dragons on the ground and I don't feel like getting singed or frostbitten Marked For Death - for dragons that refuse to land (haven't gotten Dragonrend, yet) Aura Whisper - the greatest shout for scouting dungeons, or finding what keeps detecting you when sneaking out on the tundra...

Person of Interest, White Collar, Revenge, Castle, Game of Thrones (favorite show last year... have all four current episodes recorded, but unwatched), Once Upon a Time, and Grimm. Oh, and Endgame from Hulu+. This has been a pretty good year for TV around here.

If they want to target someone, go after Google or Android. They've at least refused to offer the security features that Apple does. Sure, they have 3rd-Party apps available (that you must buy) that can cut in-app purchased for a handful of major titles, but they aren't all-encompassing. (And...
