Osmos is great on the iPad. I payed the $5 for it and it was well worth the full price. If you like physics based puzzle games, it's a no-brainer at $2.

I see no one's talking about the story of Bioshock 2. Is it noteworthy (like the first installment) or not?

Picked up: GRAW 2 $9.99 Splinter Cell: DA $9.99 Elite Beat Agents $12.99 I love you guys.

Dead Space Fable II Far Cry 2

I went by at about 7:50 am and they were sold out of the A2. Still had plenty of that Acer laptop, but I don't care for that. There's another Wal-mart I could have tried, but I had to come on to work.

Apocryphal

The 360 seems to be doing fine on the 3rd party front.

Friend of mine had corrective eye surgery -- lasik or something, I'm not sure which type -- and it cost him $3000, according to him. Mole removal will be around $200 or so, maybe a little higher. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 for the doctor visit and $100 for the pathologist report...

The quote says "8800s". Note the plural. I take that to mean an SLI setup.

1. Not disclosed, but a businessweek article or somesuch put the dev costs at around $60 million. 2. The number being tossed around is $10 million, mostly because Doritos and Mt. Dew and these other places actually pay MS dollars to be associated with the Halo brand. It's similar to how movies...

Yeah, don't pick it up. Not too bad for when it came out, but these days it'd be painful to play through.

Nope, because the noise from the machine is steady while I'm playing. It starts out relatively quiet even after I put the DVD in, but after the machine starts to heat up from playing the game the fans crank up to keep it cool. It's consistently loud the whole time I'm playing, then I go to...

To everyone thinking BenQ drives should be quiet, try this: play Halo 3 or Bioshock or some other game off the DVD drive for 20 or 30 minutes to let the machine get nice and hot, then eject the disk. In my case, the machine got no quieter at all -- meaning the noise is from the fans, not the...

I was planning to buy one this fall/winter all along, but the release date of Halo 3 just moved my plans up a bit. I figured, why wait? So I bought an Elite last week with Bioshock, Dead Rising, and LotR:BfME 2, then picked up Halo 3 on Tuesday. Haven't even opened DR and BfME yet -- Bioshock...

I would suspect this deal to come around again, or perhaps even better deals by November. Especially on the HD-DVD side.
