Gin and Tonic. While malaria is not much of a concern where I live (on a level approaching zero), but you can't be too careful, so I have my daily "medicine" just in case.

Soap operas, for men.
 
Those can't really be explained either.

1 - No going back (except via save).
2 - You must mean: Kill three big daddies without dying.
3 - Or maybe: Complete a gather without taking damage and no one getting to the little sister.
 
Play on easy. (easy is VERY easy)
I think that the body in the upstairs room near the pawn shop in Paupers Drop would offer the best way to get the gather one.

Late 2008, once Jasper showed up in the Pro version (looking at all the 360 boxes and poking around the view window on the box to see the 12.1 amps designation doesn't always make you the most popular shopper).

Theme... hrmmm... up one, press A (or up one, right two press A, pick game press A)... so I don't really feel I have enough TIME to properly appreciate a theme (which is a long winded way to say: No I use the default theme that my box booted up with).

Just played Psychonauts again (played it on the PC the first time) while buried in snow last week.

I want Steam for the ease of use, but I want the box for the... um box (I like boxes [and album covers {I wish CDs came in 12"x12" covers, with cutouts <think Physical Graffiti> and posters < The Beatles, The Dark Side of the Moon - not Dark Side of the Moon, that's different - but awesome in it's own way...> and... ya know, stuff}])... and the manual (?) [hey, they USED to be important, man. ah, the fresh smell of the 150 page CRPG manual with detailed spell, race, class, attribute and monster descriptions. and don't even get me started on the TOME that you got with flight sims... I know I have my copy of Falcon 3 around here somewhere...)...

I'll just point out here: Double Indemnity is set mostly in the suburbs and it is considered the BLUEPRINT for Film Noir. Body Heat was also set in the suburbs and filmed in color and I will fight to the death (actual death not included) anyone who wants to try to claim it is NOT a top Film Noir.
 
You could set a film on a sun dappled beach and have it be noir if you do it right.
 
The poster makes no claims that MP3 will stink or not stink, that remains to be seen.

@turbomonkey138: It is (I believe) the first full party CRPG (6 characters). Many, MANY games copied it's style for years to come (Bard's Tale, Might and Magic, Shining in the Darkness, etc.).
 
Hey, look, GiantBomb has a wiki page about it!

@turbomonkey138: Wizardry. 1981 on the Apple II, 1984 on the PC. Very good. VERY old school. Wizardry IV is, hands down, the HARDEST CRPG ever (full stop, end discussion, I'm NOT kidding here hard).
