if whatever life there has not developed the sensory capacity to respond to our presence, the planet is ours!

Solid advice for me to consider. I don't think I want to wait for the GotY edition, I'm it fussed about DLC but for an interesting character class to refresh the game after I've started getting bored and a nice repeater pistol, well, I am tempted. Someone throw in a siren action figure with the pre-buy and I'll be…

Nothing is wrong with preordering. I did that for the recent fallout games, though I may not go in for collector or fancy editions again. I'm just not sure when I'd have time to start playing and if I hold out a few months until I do, I can get a better price in the main game, But if it saves money on later DLC, even…

I was planning on waiting a little bit after release. It's not the time of year that I get a lot of free time when you add in work and writing, so spending full price up front seemed a bit unwise if I wouldn't be able to play the game for a bit. Yes I am weird that way. Well, in that and other ways!

Oh I'll be doing a siren run through before tinkering with other things. Absolutely.

I've seen that in the game trailers and I like it. I can still play sneaky and then it's the new trash compacting move! If I miss the phase shift play style, there's a way to reduce my craving back to, well, zero. Ha. Not that funny I know.

I love the idea of the Mechromancer but I really don't want to pre-order. Any idea what she'll cost once she's released? Ten? Fifteen? Blah. It's a siren's life for me anyway.

Three cheers for the Siren! Who needs big guns and turrets when you can sneak up behind someone, unphase for damage and empty half a mag of SMG into his skull? Yeah!

Yes! I waited so long and now I wonder why I did. It's funny, fast paced, gory, and fun. Play it! Pay it now! Well, now in the relative sense of when you have downloaded it or purchased it.

I remember seeing Mr. Wizard, somehow managing to get to Canada, and appreciate the tribute in Beakman's World with penguins named Don and Herb. Any science show that helps kids understand the world is great, and some humility never hurts. We need more of this today. Inspire us, television, and save us from buying…

Veneration, no. Coexistence, yes. No human deserves worship, but friendship, that is something beneficial to us all. And yes I am grateful for the bacteria and every stage before me. I often speak to the bacteria within me, remnant of that which began this journey, but it does little more than gurgle a response in a…

Well, fine, but just remember who made your existence possible. No billions of years of brain development, no robots. We are your ancestors, no matter how you feel about that.

The human brain is an organic learning computer, performing lots of calculations every second. We just don't see that on the surface level. And we can climb stairs very well, with one main calculation that says "hey I want to go up those stairs" and then it happens. How well does your processor handle the complex…

Alright, as taught to me every week by my humble sword instructor, I shall now share the most important parts of sword fighting.

Crush. Kill. Destroy.

It's always been about the Hobbit for me. That's a fabulous opening line that just peaks curiosity. It beckons the imaginative young boy or girl to read on, going into that comforting hole in the ground, escaping into something that will let us escape the mundane world.

Wow, I can an Borderlands and Legend of Grimrock for less than twenty bucks? I can afford that and these are games I've wanted to play for some time. Now that I have a proper PC again, I might just have something to use to relax when not writing (and not in the office writing for others to pay the bills).

A controller for a hundred dollars, but that can't take footwork into account, can it? Every step toward realism will be great, but I think building a simulator to really capture the essence f any sword fight or martial arts moved will need a floor the and a wired body suit motion capture system. Maybe.

Ah, the feel of the sword in hand, the opponent's blade, pushing, twisting, the movement of the feet, yes, those things won't and can't be addressed with the current level of technology. Using a sword is about so much more than a swing of some forged bit of steel. That jolt of the impact is part of the rush.

Real practioners, which is why I am excited, but then I wonder why PC and Mac, and not something like Kinect or Move. Okay there are more logistical issues with going to a console, but the Move, allowing you to hold the little glowing orb wand, would be like holding a sword and then it would allow the system to mimic…
