I haven't done a game review in a very long time, but since I really have nothing else to do today I figured I would write one up for a new game called Alan Wake.

Hey all...
As an expansion of my Hunger Games Kindle Screensavers I made, I decided to do a bunch more and setup a Gallery of them for you to download if you like.

Find the Gallery here


All Screensavers were converted by myself, so you wont find them anywhere else.. Well.. unless some ass-hat rips them off and uploads them somewhere without my knowledge... Nah.. people on the interwebs would NEVER do that!!

This is going to come as a shock to the 2 or 3 visitors I have... but a little known personal fact about me... I read books, and I read them quite a bit actually I also never wanted a Kindle, I was one of those people who liked the paper copies of my book when I was reading..

A few Christmases ago, I bought my GF (Now my EX) a Kindle because she wanted to get one, but before Christmas came she ended up leaving because growing up was not on her list of things she wanted to do apparently. Bitches be crazy I tell ya… Anyhow... I decided to just keep the damn Kindle for myself and give it a try.. .

I know your all in tears over this sad story but don’t worry there is a happy ending.. Not that kind of happy ending you perv... I mean I ended up liking the Kindle a lot and glad I never gave it to her in the first place

After about a week, I made it my mission in life to get rid of those stupid default screen savers and replace them with my own. Searching around I came across this handy little site with some step-by-step instructions on how to do just that!

Anyhow, long story short… I recently read The Hunger Games and am also anticipating the movie coming out in March, but hoping Hollywood doesn’t fuck it up like pretty much everything else they do now a days...

For something to do, I converted all the district posters (If you read the book you would know what the hell im talking about) into Kindle Screen Saver format and have them available for download if you’re interested!

Grab Them here

Drop me a line what you think if you decide to use them!

Years ago, I was in Walmart during Christmas and on the shelf were about twenty 1:18 Scale Die-cast Ecto-1 cars priced at 40 bucks a piece. I pulled one down and while contemplating the reasons why I should not get 2 or 3 of them, the GF at the time reminded me that Christmas was coming and to hold off in case someone got me one already.. While I didn't quite understand the logic behind why having more of them would be a bad thing, I did end up putting it back on the shelf figuring one had already been wrapped up and waiting for me to open.

Despite the many things I did receive, Ecto-1 was not one of them that year . I know, I know... you're all (and by "you're all" I mean you and the one or two others who read this site) really sad and wondering where the hell I'm going with this story....

Anyhow, I went back to Walmart to pick one up only to find out they were a limited run and they weren't being made anymore, AND other Walmarts had no stock! I guess news got out quick, because hitting up Ebay shortly after has resulted in the same $40 car being sold for $300+ which, as cool as the thing is, and as much as I wanted it, I just wasn't willing to pay that much.

After years of being a Sad Panda however, Hot Wheels released a new Collectors Edition of the car and I was able to pick one up for $80 bucks! Shipped to my door, I think the total came to just under $100 and after all this time, I now have my Ecto-1!

I know I know, first-world problem right there... haha.. but it's one of the few "collector" things I own so shut it and let me have my moment will ya

So I get home today, and what's sitting on my screen to welcome me back from a hard days work? That's right, an invite to the Beta version of the Steam Mobile App...

Why is this no good? Let me explain...

Assuming Steam has your credit card on tap like mine is, it takes EXACTLY 4 mouse clicks to purchase ANY game in their library.. 4 mouse clicks! You can't even bring up porn in less mouse clicks then that.. okay wait... let me rephrase that.. You cant even bring up decent porn in under 4 clicks..

The only thing stopping me most of the time from emptying my wallet on Steam sales is the fact that with my short term memory (or onset of Alzheimer's, I'm not sure which yet), is that I MAY forget about it during the 20 minute train ride from work to home. Not anymore!

Well played Steam... Well Played...
