Lifehacker for obscure and useful tips/ideas. precise google searches for just about everything else. i take a look at the preview info and maybe the preview image and decide if that particular site has the info I need. I don't go to specific sites for answers. I ask, the internet.

From the comments I've read here, it should easily be summed up as: "Trust yer gut, not yer bias".

@zegota: I usually use the "Look,.." preface when I'm about to say something that would roughly translate into "this is the way it is, deal with it, and if you don't like it..." Though I totally agree that it is easy to do the impressions of quite a long string of presidents :)

I actually enjoy the Sodium game, and the new Nova shooter is kinda fun too- I'll admit I don't really get on for the social interaction, but that's mainly because I'm able to have a girlfriend and on top of that actual friends and IRL responsibilities... If I was still a teenager however, I'd probably eat Home up and…

@Shad0X: about B: pretty sure you're right about that, otherwise I'd have hit Legendary already being that I've been hooked into PSanything-online since 2003, and so would about half or better of all the beta testers right now.

A reminder: Non-Conformists are still conforming to their 'non-conformity'.

Chrome actually asked me if I wanted to apply for one of these netbooks.. interesting that it seems like it wasn't an option available enmasse.

@Shad0X: Except that A) you're not required to do these and B) Some of us have already done this anyway, naturally.. which is the real point of the rewards program at heart. I think these just give us a sort of 'checklist' so we get an idea of how to get further up the scale. B1) I already have done half this list…

@crews200: Its the new Vudu service.

Thank you Lifehacker effect.. just mindlessly romping around the PS site on my lunch and then it starts crashing in spots and taking super long to load..(its never done that when I've used it) and then I see this article here... < Oh well, I'll just wait for the wave to be over.

@Horrifying: I need promotion privileges for this comment: arttmonkey promotes this comment. There.

@Ossidiana: Actually, you get a prize for being an active Playstation user.

@fuchikoma: You don't have to. You needed Plus and GAP membership to get into the beta (since expired). When its available to the rest of the world, these will be achievable regardless.

Obviously these birds are now going straight to Hell.

@Dennen: Gotcha. Sarcasm noted and appreciated then.

@Dennen: Actually, I've saved well over 100$ with the offerings. I may not purchase every game, but the ones I have are ones I would have gotten anyway. Besides, no where does it say you HAVE to pay for the service. Its elective. Stop crying about it.

I love it when observations force models to be re-written.

I wondered why my rates were jacked up again.. something about "solar use" when I obviously can't afford a solar panel system yet!

Just two days ago I literally had the trigger on Deathspank.... But my girlfriend came in the room so I backed out of the store rather quickly (I love surprising her with games that seem to come from nowhere).. now I'm glad the universe is on my side, as it wanted me to wait for today and get it half-off! Another…

I've already re-written this article to include monkeys, and then re-posted the original. Boo-yah!
