Yay, Steam sale!  I picked up a few games, and noticed a nifty new feature.  I'm sitting in a hotel room in St. Louis and made the purchase through the Steam website instead of the client.  After making the purchase, I saw an option to remotely install the games I'd bought on my home PC.  I thought that was pretty nifty!

(...beats using the VPN to do it!)

I picked up a few packs and a couple franchises, along with a smattering of indie titles here and there.  I was stuck in St. Louis until Friday, so I didn't really have a chance to troll the summer sale as much as I would have liked.

The first title on my list is Anno 2070.  It looks like an interesting title and I'm ready for something unique.  Hack, Slash, Loot is also toward the top of the list.

I just bought it 10 minutes before the sale ended today, Havent had a chance, but I love the comics and the show, So I'm looking forward to it!

It's ridiculously unlikely, but a leaked PDF shows that Valve is going to announce Half-Life 3 at Gamescom:

This bad boy turned 23 years old today.  I still have mine, complete in the original packaging.

Happy birthday, GameBoy!

Why are people voting it down?  Free to play is always good isn't it?

The fact that they are doing this shows that they are releasing an unfinished product. Sad.

Mists of Pandaria (World of Warcraft) Opening Cinematic.  While a goofy ass concept...the cinematic is absolutely mind blowing.
