http://www.impulsedriven.com/bfbc2 Best price it's ever been... but I'm going to wait until it's inevitably $5 during a Steam sale. I hate having games on multiple DD platforms, and the only other game I've ever bought on Impulse I ended up rebuying on Steam anyway just to keep my library nice...

http://www.direct2drive.com/promos/weekly-deal/ Lots of good racing games are 75% off right now, which stacks with the 20% 'marchmadness' promo code for 80% off total. Just picked up Split/Second for $6 even.

Just got back from the Davie store in Vancouver. Nice to know this neighbourhood isn't full of bloodthirsty RFD nutcases. Picked up five 1400 point cards, there were still another 10 or so left (someone cleaned out the 2800s and accessories). Tons of games -- Metro 2033, Mass Effect 2, Starcraft...

I already have it on Blu-ray, but I'd encourage everyone with even a passing interest to pick it up -- it's one of my favourite series, period. Stunningly beautiful and unbelievably interesting.

Okay, good news and bad news. The bad news: if you subscribe to the What's New On Netflix feed, you probably just had all the posts so far re-appear as new posts in your reader. Sadly, it couldn't be helped. The RSS feeds have gotten off to a bit of a rocky start, but -- fingers crossed -- every...

I just wanted to let everyone know that RSS feeds are now available for whatsnewonnetflix.com. Thanks to everyone who suggested this. You can subscribe through http://feeds.feedburner.com/whatsnewonnetflix. There are a couple reasons this is better than the official Netflix RSS feed. First of...

Yeah, that's the feed I'm getting my info from. It just makes the data in it much more presentable -- and unlike the feed, actually tells you when a movie was added. I've found the feed that exists to be kind of useless, because all it does is dump all the movies in chronological order, so you...

I'm looking into running some ads, but I'll only do it if they're really, REALLY unobtrusive. I'm always pissed when someone makes a really clean, useful site, and a week later it's covered in ads.

Just updated the site -- now there's a link in each summary to "Watch Now", which (if you're logged in to Netflix) should automatically start the movie instead of taking you to the details page. I haven't tested it, but I'm assuming that if you're not logged in to Netflix you'll just get the...

It's funny, I had the exact opposite reaction. There are so many movies that I've been dying to watch that you'd never expect to find at a rental place (like the original Solaris, or a thousand MST3Ks, or a decent selection of old Doctor Who). It's not a great service if you're looking for a...

One of the few things that frustrated me about Netflix was that there wasn't any place on the website or in the interface to just see a plain list of what movies have been added recently -- the only lists showed a random selection of movies added over the past month or two, which in the case of...

Not just you -- I'm seeing that here, too.

You haven't missed it yet -- they're still offering it for one more day.

http://www.wolfire.com/humble DRM-free, works on Windows / Mac / Linux. Aquaria and World of Goo are easily my two favourite indie games ever -- you have no excuse to not jump on this. You can chose to split your payment 50/50 with a charity (either Child's Play or EFF), give your whole payment...
