- Matter - Ian M. Banks (he will be missed)
- The Ghost Brigades - John Scalzi
- Star Carrier: Book One - Ian Douglas
- Hyperion - Dan Simmons (yeah, I've never read it... sue me)
- Cibola Burn - James S.A. Corey (pre-ordered)

He will indeed. I've got a shelf devoted to all his science fiction books (and the Wasp Factory though that doesn't take much room). Surface Detail and the Algebraist were my favorite I think but Matter is a close third.

I'd just bought Dangerous Visions (an anthology compiled by Harlan Ellison). Just reading an original story by Philip K. Dick that Harlan asked him to write under the effects of LSD ... yeah, I love this ****.

Use of Weapons was the best thing I've ever read.

I've been meaning to read the Culture books ... quite terrible so many talented people leave us so soon. Thanks for the heads up.

I only read that one very recently and am ashamed I forgot about it in my list. It really was spectacularly beautiful and crushing.

Have you read Against a Dark Background?

I have not yet actually. I picked up Hydrogen Sonata last year and just finished getting through the previous ones in order a while back. I will bump it up in my queue though.

Burning Chrome is a collection of short stories by William Gibson.

In the past 2 weeks:

- Mass Effect 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (~17 EUR)
(Yes, finally had to install Origin for this)
- Bunch of DLC for Mass Effect 2 and 3 (~44 EUR. You know, now that I think about it, DLC is quite expensive)
- X-Com: Enemy Unknown (~8 EUR)
- Bioshock Infinite Season Pass (~5 EUR)

how did you get it so cheap?

Steam Sale on Jan 1st. The_MAZZTer tipped me off.

Dragon Age II for Origin 7.49 GBP (~ 12.36 USD) http://digital.gamefly.co.uk/#!/pc

Counter Strike: Global Offense. The end of a social life! I actually haven't been playing it to the point that it interferes with normal life but if I wasn't careful.....

Now if only it weren't winter.

Silver (1.82 EUR)

The Canterbury Tales (original-spelling Middle English edition) (Penguin Classics)

1300 pages of Middle English porn. Ik wille go in-to myn bedde.

I wonder if the disc menu for Beyond Thunderdome on Blu-Ray is the same as on the DVD. For that matter, I wonder if I could handle that much Thunderdome.

Throw in some Thunderdome gabber and you've gone insane
Sorry, don't know how to play this video :(

Because I needed a new lamp.

Chris Hülsbeck - Turrican Anthology Vol. 1-4 (26.69 EUR)

You bought the Name That Game Rebirth thread?

apparently a glitch in the farms from the last time we got hit because apparently darth also bought the same video card and sd card last month and his desk is exactly the same with the same pile of reciepts, monitor, keyboard, mousepad, speakers, etc

Yeah, basically there's a table issue where attachments from 1/2 to ~2/4 will cause issues. I think it's straightening itself out now, but if it keeps happening I'll go in and fix it manually. The existing images will always be screwed up but shouldn't happen anymore. Hopefully.

How long until you have that wired up for USB?

I already owned The Bridge but I really wanted And Yet It Moves (AYIM), & Dear Esther, so I didn't mind paying for it again (maybe I'll gift it). The Bridge is amazing if you haven't already played it. I really enjoy puzzle games with relaxing music. It was a bit short & only semi-challenging but there was one level that I had to get help with via a walk-through (something that I typically frown upon). I played Dust for a few minutes & it looks to be quite fun as well. I must say that I've really enjoyed the games that Microsoft Studios has been putting out lately. Deadlight, for instance, was a blast. Dear Esther is probably the most beautiful "game" that I've ever played. The cave area in particular was amazing. And Yet It Moves (AYIM) is highly addictive & though it can be a bit frustrating at times, the animation & sound that it makes when you die makes it a bit less so. I've been a big fan of these bundles for quite some time but I've skipped several of them because the games just didn't interest me. However, these last two have been well worth it. I'm really looking forward to Antichamber & The Swapper as well. So many games, so little time.

JA, mon.



PS. I'd played and reviewed And Yet It Moves, I remember I didn't like it all that much, heh.

Finally arrived today! UNF!

also assassin's creed 3 a couple days ago

TotA is a rad game, one of my favorites of all time. The 3DS port is pretty good considering the system it's running on. I've put 62 hours on it, and over 120 on the PS2 version.

It's pretty engaging, I just gotta get a hang of the elemental dickery in battles.

Oh and this goes here I guess.



I'M A STAR WARS
