Ben Browder was gushing about Dead Space, Matt? Cool! I'm on the last chapter now, and it's still freaking my shit out hardcore. There are few things scarier than casually walking TO A SAVE SPOT and having a giant unkillable monster jump down through the ceiling.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Yeah, they ran a preview infomercial on SciFi back in the late summer, and Ben was one of the people they cut away to between game clips.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Dead Space looks stunning. I shall get. I have HDTV and surround sound now, which I am presuming will work.
Farcry 2 is sorta like Fallout 3, except without talking-to-people missions. You mostly just go around the land (all 50km of it) and blow shit up. But, man - it's highly enjoyable, and it's different to anything I've played before. The graphics are awesome, and it's the first time I can recall a real time, 24 hour clock (and world) in a shooter.

Um, should I be asking who this BE person is?
Clearly, yes. Just for hilarity.
I've tried several times to rent Left 4 Dead so I can test whether it will screw with my eyestrain but Blockbuster - the asshats - took it upon themselves to stock each store with one single copy. Someone needs to be given a severe lesson in what games are expected to be popular, fuckers.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Billytea's Emu?
It's got the credit card again? Dammit, I told Wallybee it can come inside for Doctor Phil, but she has to watch it the whole time.

Benevolent Emissary.
I was wondering if the Fit was fun.
eta: What I really want is one of the dance mat things so I can practice alone in my house rather than at the arcade. They look lots of fun.

Um, should I be asking who this BE person is?ok, if ND is asking, I don't feel nearly as bad. I'm sitting here racking my brain going "who?"
