It was like a really stinky fart. Fucking annoying, but you have to appreciate the sheer audacity of the thing.

I look at tipping as giving the waiters incentive to offer good service. I wouldn't want to be served food with the same attitude of a Wal Mart clerk or something.
 
I usually tip 20% but I can go higher or lower on quality. I also don't like waiters that are overly friendly, or worse, fake friendly.

This year has been a bit of a letdown. The best deals (BC2 and The Witcher) were on games that I already own so I've only managed to spend a whopping $0.49 on Winterbottom. Haven't even bothered to install it either.

I bought Thief during the last Holiday sale and never touched it. I've realized that a crazy cheap game I'm never going to play, is still a game I'm never going to play.

About the only thing I'm interested in is BFBC2 Vietnam. 
 
I kinda doubt I'll see a discount though.

On one hand it's nice that they're looking at feedback and fixing stuff.
 
But a patch that big is pretty ridiculous. Especially given the mammoth install and shit.

" I thought it was very well made and definitely much better then the majoirty of the missions in ME2. However, its only 2-3 hours of content for 10$. "

Kotaku seems to get more scoops, but I find Joystiq better written.
 
Mainly I just browse Neogaf now for news though.

There is nothing quite like the Bombcast. And anything that attempts to be falls on its face. Weekend Confirmed is a good companion piece to the Bombcast. It's more serious and has a heavier focus on news and industry trends. It can get up its own ass, but usually it's really good.

" It's the same price as the standard edition?  That's unexpected. "
