@jointron33: I find his doughy, shapeless features VERY off-putting, and he's played a pretty unlikeable prick in everything I've seen him in (have yet to see Whiplash, for what it's worth).

So NOOOO, I do not find him at all attractive. I suppose some women do (I've even seen evidence of this on random message boards), but I do not know what percentage of us ♀kind they constitute.

Oh man, my Comedy Film Nerds and Bombcast worlds are colliding...! :0 Kernel Panic imminent.

@edgekasey: If she doesn't need power, go for something really lightweight and thin and aesthetically pleasing. (I'm not as familiar with that range of PC laptops, since mine is like an anvil pretty much... but both Macbook Air and somehow regular Macbook even-more-so have really petite builds nowadays. Baseline models of Air are still in your target price range and would fit her purposes, but the regular Macbook line starts about $300 over. The improved specs and even more featherweight build may not be worth that premium for you or for her. In both cases you'd have to be amenable to more of an 11-13" screen size, but that's not as handicapping as it may sound. I'm writing this comment from an 11" screen right now, and it doesn't feel particularly small to me.)

F******************$&, Konami. I'm so glad I finally managed to get my own PS4 a month ago just in time to download this, as obviously just tagging it on the generalized store would have NOT have sufficed. This little weird horror freebie was one of the things I most looked forward to playing on the console currently, and Silent Hills was maybe the only AAA title I knew about that I was at all excited-about.

Oh well, video games are a cycle of heartbreak, aren't they? Hopefully the faceless-hackers get to making a PC port of this soonish, so it can still be publicly archived.

@vegetashonor: I hope to pull off the rare trip-into-someone fatality.

I'm looking for some people that positively suck! Oh, excuse me, I have to rent a copy first.

Sounds weird and potentially interesting. I hope they experiment with different control schemes for whatever it is though. That's usually been the least engaging aspect of their releases.

@cornbredx:

I'm probably influenced by the fact that I loved seeking out weird imports in the previous console generations (the stuff put out over there now seems to be getting less interesting on the other hand, too much creepy anime fanservice instead of genuine quirkiness and eccentricity, etc.). Tbh, I do find it harder to understand why Jeff would want to do it without any knowledge of Japanese though; that would seem to be really limiting to what you could actually play through.

I think, in trying to engage more with the Giant Bomb experience, I've realized that my outlook on things is maybe a bit different or incompatible in some way. I'll probably just return to the passive approach for the time being.

I was thinking of it more in terms of filmed content, not just adding to Jeff's massive horde. And also the continuity of seeing the games acquired turn up later in UPF or other live-streams.

I understand your point nonetheless. I could certainly see Jeff being uncomfortable taking a donation pool for this or anything else.

I suppose I viewed the idea of donating as a means of more direct engagement with The Raid, rather than some form of creepy charity. But it's not really about just me.

Thanks! I had been planning to look for these in the next few days and this just makes it all the easier. "Driving" around with grumpy Jeff sounded oddly entertaining.
