mmm, Camilla, lovely. I hope the Tomb Raider announcement includes a title sequel and the inclusion of TressFX into the next-gen console versions of both games. My PS4 needs some Lara, but not for $60 if it doesn't include awesome tresses.

The cerebral completionist part of me wants Eternity more than the other games, but the die-hard sci-fi nerd wants the next Mass Effect more. My inner Dunedain trumps all others and demands Inquisition immediately. Or, whenever it's ready, is fine. Next year does seem a little soon for new, cool biotic powers.

It was a long, long period inbetween versions 1.1 and 1.9. Even on the Xbox, there were several quest-breakers and numerous odd glitches. PS3 players had it worst of all, though. Still, I banged out 600 hours on console, and am playing right now on PC. I have 60 hours so far, and no broken quests or bugs yet. The mod with prettier female faces is a nice touch ...

Cool, Lego LOTR for $7.49. That should do it for this sale, unless Steam reminds me of something else I forgot I wanted.

Had plans to play Euro Truck Sim 2, ended up starting KOTOR 2, after realizing I can not back up a MAN truck to save my life, or the lives of any pedestrians in Salzburg. It's a fun game, though, I'll stick with it. Pivot-point physics on a fixed plane are remarkably challenging. Haven't seen any shopping deals that I desperately want ... maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Can't quote the extendo-length photo, but anything with Rottweilers and girls in bikinis, we need more of, thank you.

Oh, heh, I'm a derp. Me: "Why is Steam's sale page upside down at the bottom ..." It's a Spring Sale for Bruce, no doubt.

Got an email from Hasbro, Boba Fett is on his way. The same day, they revealed the upcoming Wave 3 of the Star Wars Black Series 6" characters, and it includes a stonking beautiful Stormtrooper, who will likely become as unobtainable as Fett. Pre-order for this figure sold out in minutes. I missed it. Will keep trying.

Cool, I'm going Euro Trucking. I don't suppose there is a right-hand drive, left-hand side of the road option ... I'd like to practice bizarro driving.

I don't even want to speculate how long Ward and May have been ... assembling. A year, a week, doesn't matter I'm not jealous super stupid handsome, cut, chiseled features Agent Ward dumb head. Although if Agent May does/did invest emotionally with Ward, that would really inform his character. No matter what, it was great to get some background stories illuminated. I love that Coulsen cares about special things, like his timepiece: "I think they only made twenty ..."

Oh, yep, that price does negate a bunch of the charm. Funny how I didn't really connect the dots at first, but damn, three hundred bucks is bonkers. I think I subconsciously compared the total cost to that of a straight SSD. Oh well, solid-state memory will never come down in price, I guess. If only they would fire-sale my other favorite drive, the 10k rpm Raptors. I want a 1TB for the PS4 and another to stick in this box ... but more than $200 for an HDD is equally bonkers.

OP is right, I felt the same way. Thanks for fixing my favorite game.

This game cannot come soon enough.

Anyone else with a tech chubby for this WD dual drive ... a distinct 120GB SSD inside the same 2.5" case as a 1TB pair of mechanical disks. It's not a hybrid, the OS recognizes two different drives in one, on one SATA III port. $299 MSRP. Sounds perfect for that low-bloat Linux Steam Machine I'm investigating.

Almost Human: Die Hard Edition. Let me see if I can count all the similarities ... terrorists take over skyscraper, hold group of hostages, prior demands include release of jailed compatriots, the 25th floor, cops set up command post on street, cops disable city block communications, hero cop already inside building--unbeknownst to terrorist leader, girl hostage asks to use bathroom, hero cop engages in gun battle in stairwell/alternate floors, hero cop uses elevator shaft and air vent to re-engage terrorists, hostage double-cross--they were always going to die, act of terror was only a cover for grand theft, terrorist leader consoles henchman by mentioning post-heist beach activities, hero cop's first name is John, Almost Human hero cop's middle name is Reginald--same name as real-life Die Hard cast member, Reginald VelJohnson. Anyway, kick-ass episode. I frickin love that "hard drive activity light" on Dorian's temple.

I hate that, when people throw rocks at you in the street and you have to think of clever and inventive ways to exact revenge ... like putting bananas on a pizza.

That's not what your mom said last night, and besides, all the more evidence of the enormity of their accomplishment in a man's world.

My mom did the same thing ... microfiche, birth and death records, hard-copy info at cemeteries ... genealogy is definitely her thing. She's found relatives from before 19th century from across the whole of Britain and Ireland. Also records of relatives from both sides of the American Civil War. Seems like a lot of ancestral military, but that could be because they keep better records, and in English. My mom's dad was Air Force in WWII, my father was a Green Beret, his brother a demo expert for the Navy ... I enlisted as an infantry Marine, and my cousin just graduated boot camp here at MCRD. I wouldn't say it's a tradition, I mean I don't think wearing a uniform is "where we're really from," so to speak, but it's fun to feel a sense of identity with the people you're related to, who came before you.

Mildly ironic there's a Steam discussion inside a GOG thread ...

I think my 360 Slim is a tad sexier than the One, too, until I remember how much faster the new console is. I love that all-black Day One box. Nice job. I'm curious how Ryse plays ... I'll never know since I went blue this year.

A follow-on strike in a single inflatable carrying a lone SEAL armed with a ball-peen hammer would be more than any Russian ship could defend.

The iFixit tear-down of the One is pretty entertaining. Turns out the hard drive can be replaced ... although no one yet knows if the OS will recognize a new, unformatted drive. Free Forza 5 ... that is f'n awesome.

Healthier compared to what? I know you guys have taco shops up there, too, so it can't be those. I suppose 70% soy and 30% actual meat at Taco Bell is healthier than 100% red meat beef burritos anywhere. I recently heard Mexico is more obese now than the US. Not that burritos cause obesity, or even came from Mexico ...

On the national news, they showed a photo of two of those women Marines standing at the POA, looking every bit as buff as the males around them. That is awesome, and seriously impressive, congratulations to them. An 03- capable female Marine ... warms my heart.
