I don’t know if this is what you mentioned specifically, but in case you were curious: no, it does not save unposted comments if you navigate away the page. It especially doesn’t if you do it twice.

I should rent more often, but it’s a pain here if you do it occasionally. At least one rental chain here has a subscription service where you pay something like $50 for 3 months of unlimited game rentals. So some kid can hold on to a game for the entire subscription.

There are Internet sites that rent out games in the style of Netflix. But I don’t know of any services outside of the U.S.

But even so, you cannot rent PC games.

Only useful for our kiddy konsoles. All you reboot monkeys can go find a Torrent or something.

You can rent games?! That’s it, I’m moving there!

I agree with the Indigo Prophecy recommendation. You can get away with a rental, it only takes a couple afternoons to finish. Basically an adventure game, but like an interactive movie.

I’ve been into Call of Duty 2. I never played the first one and I think we’ve had more than enough of the WWII genre, but I like this one. Multiplayer is standard stuff, makes me miss RtCW: Enemy Territory.

And yeah, comics are pretty geeky.

I’ve got a new game recommendation for you, Jafer: Indigo Prophecy. I just finished it (please don’t look at the time I’m writing this… I know! 2 am!). I’ll try and write something about it “tomorrow” (that is, today). Now, it’s not a FPS either, but looks darn good! And is very… captivating… as you may guess from the fact that I finished it already.

Now, gotta get some sleep!

Actually, today as we went to a game store, I noticed Path of Neo is already out. Go get it! I’m going to wait a while, because I bought Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy for myself and I have to leave something for letter to Santa (that being Path of Neo, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, or Prince of Persia Two Thrones).

When I asked if there was a used SC:CT, the shopkeeper asked “for Nintendo?”. I said, “NO! For a PC, consoles are toys!” Well, because there wasn’t a Splinter Cell, I got Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy instead, and then the shopkeeper said, “notice that this is a DVD, you need a DVD drive.” I said, “well, any modern computer has that!” Then I bought Sims 2: University for my sister for Xmas, and the shopkeeper said “you need to have the basic Sims 2 for this to run.” AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
