Sonofabitch. I DID get a lot of christmas shopping and shipping done today tho. 90 bucks of shipping, presents for 3 people, but even so, money is required for rent and bills. So needless to say, I will be living light till the 15th when I will repent for overspending and christmas shop in the mouth of madness.

i was on a similar media binge over a year ago when i was being frivolous with my finances.  once i started noticing how much shit was left unopened, i realized i had a problem.  nowadays i try and watch/listen/complete whatever media it is that i buy before i rationalize buying more.  it's tough, i've still got a few things unopened.  :-\

The HD-DVDs I bought are exclusives.  Multiformat releases I try to get on BD, since my PS3 is more reliable than my 360, and it also has my HDMI port.

What with it being the holidays and all, that rule might disintegrate into taking whatever I could get.

Its interesting, I've never played a game like it before.  I've heard that it's pretty close to the tabletop game.  It stresses the placement of your characters  in cover as well as action point management.  I've had fun playing the single player, it is relatively short, but challenging.  There is no skirmish mode or anything, so that honestly feels sloppy.  I've heard the multiplayer is great fun though.  Maybe if people on EB get it, we can play some games.

This was the first HCM-Pro figure I've ever purchased. It was only $15 and came with a free "action stand," so I figured why not. They're smaller than MSiA's, but are more detailed.
