To answer your questions: 1) I have gotten my receipt, and Best Buy is currently processing the order. 2) Yes, it is a Steam code. It's taking people a little while to get theirs, but they're coming.

For us Escapists in the US, Best Buy, whether intentionally or through some glitch, is offering Metro: Last Light for one cent right now. Go grab it. http://goo.gl/mysjN (Link is totally legit) Note to mods: If this is somehow against the rules, lock the thread and message me. Figured I'd...

I was not a big fan. It started off strong, I'll admit, and I found a lot of things about it enjoyable, but what really got me was the pacing. There'd be a cliffhanger or major event or big reveal that was supposed to change EVERYTHING, but then by the next episode something would contradict...

It's a song even I can play, it's fun, and it's the White Stripes. Now all you need is someone to rhythmically bash on drums and you're set.

Is there any other choice for a male cosplayer? I'm planning on going as him for Halloween, and I was able to make my chainsaw hand out of cardboard and duct tape, so cost isn't really a concern.

Saw them down in Richmond, Virginia at the National. Made sure to grab the new album and a sticker while I was there. My dad's been playing sax for years, and he was absolutely blown away by them as well.

There's a group out there called Moon Hooch who are literally two saxophones and a drummer. I got to see them open for They Might Be Giants a couple weeks back, and I was astounded. I'm not sure what songs they played that night, but the closest thing I can equate their performance to is...

Well this exists. It's probably not what you're looking for, but it is smooth and it is jazz.

I have yet to see the anime, and from what I've heard it's pretty awful. But the Gantz manga is amazing. It starts out in that same incredibly stupid way, but it develops into something actually pretty interesting, while maintaining the stupid gore and nudity. If you've got nothing better to...

I use Webroot, and it's quite good at picking stuff up, and it doesn't use too many system resources, to boot. It's got a yearly license fee on it, though, so I can see why it might not be for everyone.

Yeah, the ending to Enemy Unknown was a load of crap, and the last level was terrible. A shame, too, what with the game being as incredible (albeit repetitive) as it was leading up to that point.

Luckily, it's available on Steam, so it shouldn't have many compatibility issues.

How's the interface? I've seen screenshots and gamplay footage, and it seems alright, but there are a lot of buttons on that control panel. All in all, though, it sounds pretty great, from what you and others have said. Do you know anything about the sequels? Did they improve any of what...

I am a HUGE fan of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It was pretty much my game of the year for 2012, hands-down. Great gameplay, good graphics, a functional (if a little cliched) plot. Enemy Unknown seems to have it all. But I've been looking around on Steam and GoG, and I was wondering if any of the older...

The guns in the new Tomb Raider, barring the crappy shotgun, all felt really good to me. Getting the handgun early on truly felt empowering due to the physical and audio feedback you got when firing it. The worst, I'd say, though would be ARMA II. I only really play it for DayZ, but the guns...
