Oh man, I cannot tell you how much I like Snuggle Truck. Such a stupid game but so much fun.

Oh yes, Samsung is good too. They slipped my mind. My choices are always Hitachi and Seagate though, just because I have had historical experience with them so have never felt the desire to venture out beyond that.

Oh that is interesting about the bearings. I didn't realize that. I guess I presumed the additional platters created additional load which caused more failure rate. I don't work in the computer industry so maybe my sample data is skewed. I have just talked to a lot of people who had their drives go bad, and it seemed…

Well enjoy it! I haven't played UC2 in so long because I got burnt out on it (roughly 500 hours on the MP). But it is a solid game (both SP and MP). My wife still plays that with her friends all the time. They play UC3 too, but it sucks so they jump back to UC2 because it is more fun. I haven't played UC3 since the…

Oh yes, I can recall those days. I also remember my first 3GB drive. I was wondering how anybody could ever fill that up.

"Uh, you live on the internet, so there’s roughly a 0% chance of that happening"

Yep, it's called a genre of art. More than that it is marketing material so it is less art and more purpose. It really limits what you can do. Not much out of the box thinking (no pun intended).

A couple of notes.

Entire genre, yeah I get it. Why? Because I was young once and thought a good idea could be taken to the ends of the earth and beyond and still be a good idea. The problem to me (and this is really going to make me sound like an old fogey) is that the songs pretty much all sound the same to me.

Yeah, that bothered me too. I like symmetry in my stuff and was originally going to have the splatter in the upper right to make it more balanced. But as I was doing it I figured the splatter should be by the blade, for implied blood rather than an arbitrary stylistic splatter elsewhere. At least I know I'm not alone…

Yes, the blue would be the shirt. Thanks.

So I was home sick and bored so made this as a T-shirt design. Just thought I'd share.

I'm about your age (just a shy younger) and I can say that while I am pretty darn hip I don't get most of this stuff either.

In the US (and all North America?) street date is next Tues the 29th. This store broke street. Lovely.

Yeah, I think it is more along the lines of this.

Yeah, the funny thing is, I got my laptop for Christmas. Basically I built it and bought it and told my wife you got me a great gift this year thanks.

Right, I see your point but the whole thing is subjective from the beginning. I mean, what makes a game "good" by any standard? If they are talking about tangible stuff like graphics, mechanics, controls, level design then you can start to see some patterns. But the flip side is, do graphics or controls make the game?…

I'm an added voice to the War for Cybertron praise. It was a great game. Great I say.

Yeah, even if I don't count my smaller, budget and crap games I still have a lot of games to play through. Heck, I still need to get through Deus Ex HR and never go back, and when I do I forgot how to play so do horribly and quit. And I keep pondering buying the original as well. Yeah, like I'll ever get to it. I…

I continue to ponder this. I won't get to them for forever though (since I have way too many games to play as it is) so I just don't.
