Mock all you want, I am SUPER excited for the next Hunger Games movie to come out later this year!

Hunger Games was an amazing read. Divergent is good as well.

I'm fine with my current gaming system, I think. I mainly use it for parties.

I have to be careful with games, because I get too into them and end up wasting a lot of time! And my time is very valuable these days

I enjoyed Man of Steel. I hear you about the wasting time, but I have had a system since Atari. I am excited to see what limits these systems get pushed to and how the next gen looks.

The XBox One can jump in a lake. Not just because of the used games thing; I'm already a big fan of Steam, which is a digital distribution service that ties purchases to an account. But the thing with the Kinect spying on you is just bloody creepy. Even I have my limits.

I also won't be getting a PS4 right away. I'm not interested in the details of the system (except perhaps for holyshitwhatthehell stuff like the XBone's Kinect), only the games that will be released for it. If games come out for it that I happen to want, then it'll go on my list, though I may wait for a price drop. In the meantime, I'm actually more likely to get a PS3 after the price drop that will inevitably hit once the PS4 is released, since there's a title I want for it that's coming out later this summer/this fall and... yeah I'm not gonna talk about it here because I'm honestly kind of ashamed of myself but anyway.

I have a Wii U. Feel free to laugh, but this is because I buy systems for the games that are on them. If you are about to say "But there are no games for the Wii U," my counterargument is "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate," which I've already played for a couple hundred hours or so. The 3DS is also starting to get tempting, what with Animal Crossing: New Leaf coming out and the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between and Yoshi's New Island. As a kid I played the ever-loving daylights out of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Yoshi's Island, so direct sequels to them after all these years definitely holds a lot of appeal to me.

Everyone called me paranoid for keeping an envelope over the camera when it was turned off.... who's laughing now??

I keep that thing completely unplugged from the console these days.

I usually stick to modern, casual or drafts. Standard is too pricey.

UofMfan · 06-19-2013, 06:59 PM

Man of Steel was OK, unless you are 15 then of course it may be awesome.

It had one too many fights and way too much destruction. I mean seriously it got to the point where you just rolled your eyes.

I must say the new man of Steel is quite a sight. I watched it with a few of my gay friends and we all thought he was hot, so that may be another reason to go see it.

Other than than, I'll leave you with this. It's funny!

thedivahrrrself · 06-20-2013, 03:20 PM

This had me doubled over laughing!! Give it about 25 seconds before it gets good...

Any Ghost World/Daniel Clowes fans out there? There's a good chance I'm going to his exhibit in Chicago this weekend and I'm beyond excited.
