I buy digital whenever I can. I've never grown attached to my material things, and game boxes are usually mainly a pain in the ass to store and move around. There are a few exceptions though. If all games were digital, I still might buy collectors editions of my favorite games and go to midnight launch events for the fun of it. On top of the convenience of an all-digital lifestyle, I appreciate the environmental benefits. Shipping and manufacturing tons of plastic around the globe seems silly, when you can just press a button and teleport the game across the world via wizardry.
Besides games, I still buy some movies on BluRay because of the improved image and sound quality. I also sometimes buy CD's if there is a signed or special edition. I also enjoy looking at the album art when listening to the music, but the same function could as well be served with some sort of app for example.
My local game stores weren't even taking pre-orders for the PC Collectors Edition a month ago. I went to check again a week later and they were all pre-ordered up. I'm probably going to get the digital CE, just for the robot dog.
I stopped playing when the earthquake happened in Tehran. I would kind of like to finish the game at some point. I would like to, but I probably won't.
Mandarin. Learning the basics is not that hard, but mastering it can be nearly impossible. Probably the most valuable language to learn other than English.
Boston is the last bastion of cultural, technological, educational, and economic hope in an otherwise disgusting country.
I've got relatives living in Boston. I've never been there, but I'm thoroughly intrigued and will probably visit the next time I cross the Atlantic. Boston is one of the few places in the US where I might want to live. Massachusetts seems to have it's shit together rather well.
Indeed. I remember when I realized that I was spending more time playing the Call of Duty 4 beta than Halo 3, even though I was and still am a huge Halo fan.
Another one which comes to mind is the multiplayer of Brothers in Arms for the Xbox. The first Brothers in Arms game is still probably my favorite WW2-shooter, and at the time I was blown away at how well the tactical gameplay translated to 1v1 or 2v2 online matches.
Risk Factions must be one of my most-played games this generation. I don't have any stats on how many hours I've sunk into it, but it must be way more than my time with Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect combined.
