That's the first thing I noticed was that the girl looked and sounded like Ellen Page.

 

Looks like, yes, but I don't think they sound the same.

Just beat Gears 3 on hardcore after having it for 2 days... pretty short but the action is intense. Story line is interesting as well. Now time to beat it on Insanity level... this will make it much more challenging.

I just bought NBA 2k12, i'll let you all know soon how it goes.

I couldn't wait until X-Mas (stupidly asked for it thinking the wait wouldn't be too long), so I redbox'd that s*** over the weekend and started dominating dudes online with the Bulls.

 

It took me awhile to figure out how to hop-step. Hold L2 and use d-pad right or left. Once I figured that out, the world was at D-Rose's mercy.

 

The game is fantastic. They somehow made it even better. I imagine December 26th - end of time I will be playing this.

Rose on a fastbreak with the hopstep is unstoppable.

 

Rip's also a pretty good shooter from 3. Him and Deng can light it up all day with open looks.

Lebron with the spin move hop step is incredible especially since he makes damn near 99 percent of all contact layups. The animation of spinning around a helpless mortal on his way to the rack is freaking hilarious.

So, my all time NBA roster has hit a snag...there's a CAP limit.

 

If there's no work around, I'm stuck with 8 complete teams (Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Knicks, Jazz, Cavaliers, SuperSonics, Hawks).

I can't wait. Thanks for the comments.

I made the same mistake as Steve and asked for it for Christmas. Can't wait.

One thing I really am enjoying so far (don't have enough games under my belt to see how repetitive he gets) is the addition of Steve Kerr to the commentary. It's very natural, and he adds great insight to players.

 

They did a great job keeping none of the player-specific commentary from talking about the previous year's team. That plus the white jerseys for everyone really helps with player movement.

Thank God. If I have to hear about Kevin Durant's mentor one more time....ughghghgh

For some reason I REALLY want to play the new Cabela's hunting game, but I'm not sure where I can rent it.

Steam is having their massive sale, and I got suckered in to buying Sid Meier's Railroads! I love those "tycoon" type games, and this was marked down to $5. Can't complain about that.

 

Steam has TONS of games for $5 or less right now. I think Half Life 2 is like $2.50. lol.

I have decided that you have strange interests. I bet you are a fun drunk.

I don't drink often, but when I do, yes, I am often the life of the party. I guess I'd rather be the fun drunk than the angry or sad drunk, like some of my friends are.

sad drunks are the best drunks!

i prefer drunks that turn rich all of a sudden and cover everyones tab, even the people they just met that night.

Anyone doing the Steam holiday sale or great gift bag giveaway? So far for gifts I've only gotten 3 coals (7 equal a free gift) and a 50% off a game coupon, but people have been getting stuff like a free Skyrim game. As for the sale, both Mass Effects are 5 bucks today, so I picked number one up.

I bought Sid Meier's Railroads! but how do I go about getting these "giveaway" things? I want some coal....

 

EDIT: Ok, I think I figured it out. I won "33% off a Valve game" thing that doesn't seem very valuable considering is already like 50% off or more, so the coupon is less than valuable.

Edited by JoeCoolMan24

I think the coupon works with the discount. Also, join the steam holiday group for another free gift

Ack, I got coal.

 

It says my 33% off coupon is valid from Jan 2nd-March 1st. I assume that means after these huge discounts are over.

Want to trade coals to get the free achievement today?

Also trade simulator is 90 percent off for 4 bucks today, if you like those kind of games.
