wah! My super-tote for games is now too small. All my games fit easily when I moved to Dallas. Now, not so much. No time to get bigger tote. One game will have to leave the heard, and travel back to CA with strange non-game-things so that the others can live and travel, safely in the sealed mega-tote.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

I've mentioned this elsewhere but an FYI:
If you want Halo 3 for Campaign, then by all means grab it.
However, if you want Halo 3 just for multiplayer, then grab Halo ODST. ODST comes with a second disc that is Halo 3 multiplayer but better; it contains all the downloadable maps, which DOUBLES the number of maps you have and some of the newer ones are really great.
Also, the ODST disc functions as a invite key to the Halo Reach Beta multiplayer that kicks off on May 3rd and runs for 2 to 4 weeks.
Halo Reach is especially interesting to me as it's Bungie's last Halo game. They spent the last 3 years tearing down and refining the Halo 3 engine, allowing a fivefold increase in polygon count and a substantial improvement in the networking. It apparently runs with less lag than Halo 3 and the leg there is very small (though vital in some kill or be killed instants).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod captures the flavor, fun, and educational benefits of Dungeons & Dragons in a fast-paced, easy-to-learn experience for kids ages six years old and up.

People (like me) who haven't played Portal yet, it's free for a while for mac and PC: [link]

I believe that many here will be able to empathize with this Wondermark strip.

Yeah, there's a fine line between an invigorating challenge and beating your head against the wall.
