Calax Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Attached myself to Netflix... and found that I have a massive love of the British version of Top Gear. I've considered getting an account there for sometime, but I hear the movie streaming selection leaves something to be desired. Thoughts? It's kinda hit and miss. Many of the movies from a few years ago that were popular are unavailable, but several of the newer ones are entirely available. I'd probably end up getting it more for the TV shows.

Hurlshort Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Netflix streaming is really only about the TV shows. We won our tourney and I got to take my picture with a very heavy trophy. Then I drove the RV home (about 5 hours) and now I'm inspecting my bruises and trying to rehydrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 But you're seeing someone and in love, aren't you? Seems just a wee bit harsh to call you the arsehole for being faithful! Ignore 'em. well to be fair they probably didn't know i'm in a relationship the past couple of days have been very odd. i'm living in a city at sea level in what is effectively the beginning of spring, and yet it's been snowing a lot. first time it's snowed in central wellington in like 40 years or something when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Nepenthe Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Went a bit crazy and pre-ordered Deux Ex: Human Revolution, NHL 12 and Dead Island. Did you get any bonus out of pre-ordering it vs. getting post-release? AFAIK all DX:HR preorders in the Nordic countries get the augmented edition/CE bonus in-game content. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well Dead Island was dirty cheap, under 30 euros for PC so pretty much no point in waiting for any Steam sales. Deus Ex was some sort of Limited edition and cost about 36 euros. Other than that no bonusses. I don't buy used games, since no money from those sales go to the publishers&developers. And I still need to order Battlefield 3, Arkham City and maybe Dark Souls. Dammit. Space Marine, Rage and Skyrim can wait until they are really cheap. Always a point for waiting for Steam sales Very principled for you to want the pub/devs to get the cash though. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flouride Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Always a point for waiting for Steam sales Very principled for you to want the pub/devs to get the cash though.

Yeah, I'm working at a real estate law firm (not necessarily where I want to go with my law degree), but in all honesty it hasn't been too horrible.

Krookie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 hey tarna, just read that Herman Cain beat stage IV cancer in his liver/colon in 2006, and now he's running for president. but he isn't going to win, so don't count on being president after you beat it.

Syraxis Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Attached myself to Netflix... and found that I have a massive love of the British version of Top Gear. I've considered getting an account there for sometime, but I hear the movie streaming selection leaves something to be desired. Thoughts? It's kinda hit and miss. Many of the movies from a few years ago that were popular are unavailable, but several of the newer ones are entirely available. I'd probably end up getting it more for the TV shows. Pity. It sounded so promising, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
