Maybe a tired topic, but sometimes I really don't understand the pricing scheme for digital games.

For example, Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City (yes yes, most people hate this game and think it sux. Irrelevant) is still 30 bucks on Steam, or an even crazier 40 if you buy it from XBLA. You can find new hard copies of this game on the shelves or online for 10.

Is there anybody out there who is dropping an extra 20-30 bucks on that digital version? Makes no sense.

Even if you've sworn off hard copies for space reasons or something, are you willing to spend that extra cash for digital, or is it more likely that you just won't buy the damn thing?

I know there are sales and such, but this isn't the only example of this, and I just think its weird.

*shrug* Rant over, whatever.

High Definition Hung Dong?

I feel bad about it, but that's given me a serious case of the giggles.
How dare you giggle at HUNG DONG! HUNG DONG is a farmer with a LONG proud history of THRUSTING is TOOL DEEP into the MOIST soil to PLOW the FERTILE farmland.
And you just made my "giggles" about it even worse :lol:

Suckers. That's all I can think of. I've seen it for years now (I think MS is the worst offender), and I just don't get it. But chances are, they sell. Because people who don't know what they're doing are out there.

Luckily for myself, probably you and most of us here, I prefer hard copies anyways. And if you don't have room for an inch on some shelf, then I think you've got other problems to worry about haha...

If you didn't see it, the game lasted for four hours, and ECU blew a 21 point lead, only to score a TD with sixteen seconds left. It was nuts.

Frown: Feeling really numb and empty today. It was just one of those days in which I have trouble feeling any emotion other than depression and disconnection.

Smile: I'm going to finally start seeing a real gender therapist; my first appointment is in 39 hours. It can't come quickly enough...

I've never realized how much the weather effected me until this year. Clouds are out and my day is pretty much ruined. :|

I love overcast and rainy weather. Great days to relax and read a book.

Smile: Although I'm considered a food snob, I'm excited about having pigs n' a blanket with broccoli and mac n' cheese/kraft dinner tonight. Goes great with football.

Puzzled: Not sure what to think about "smart cars". No, not the teeny cars, rather the cars that brake for you, let you know if there is a car to the left or right of you, park for you, etc.

There is a new Lexus commercial where some skidmark almost runs into three cars within thirty seconds because his dumbass isn't paying attention.

I hate these cars because the commercials convey "go ahead and be a dipshit an pay no attention to what's going on...we've got it". I honestly believe these features will bring in a new generation of even worse drivers.

On a positive note, if said dipshit isn't paying attention and his car prevents him from rear ending me, good.

And Kanye West demands a man in a wheelchair to stand up or he'll stop his concert. What a dick. Not hip hop. Not at all.
