I clench my fists and yell "anime" towards an uncaring, absent God, and swear solemnly to press my thumbs into Chocolate America's eyeballs until he is blinded, to directly emasculate sporting figures, to beat the shit out of tumblr users with baseball bats, and to quietly appreciate what Waylon Smithers being gay means to me.
I just realized a few minutes ago that A Dance With Dragons, Duke Nukem Forever, and The Smile Sessions were all released last year.
Woah.

Don't you mean 2011?
No Half-Life 3, though.
Don't you mean 2011?
Of course not.
When did Starcraft II come out?
June 2010 IIRC
We can only hope HL3 will be worth the weight.
2011 is also the year when I finally started buying stuff on Steam. 2010 was when I rediscovered commercial computer gaming, when JBridge gifted me Recettear. I think the last time I bought a computer game was sometime in the 90s. My last purchase was, I think, the Even More Incredible Machine, or Caesar (which I still haven't played), or maybe EcoQuest: the Search for Cetus. So we're talking, like, early or mid 90s. For a good number of years after that, all I got was a few SNES and GB games. Though I knew about emulation since like 2000. I only returned to formal computer gaming in like 2006 (notwithstanding occasional bouts of Solitaire playing) with Cave Story, then La-Mulana.
It's also the year when I discovered that there's more to digital downloading than Steam, and that most places offer re-downloads, so that was a silly reason for preferring Steam. Now trying to determine what places offer program updates. Steam turns out to be somewhat of a hassle--first, you do have to connect it to the internet every so often to keep it working; second, if you aren't online, it might not record things like achievements (I've had this happen to me with Defy Gravity's first achievement); third, it doesn't like to start up if it is trying to apply an update, even if you were online and connected to the Steam servers just a few hours ago.
Everything except Doctor Dre's third album.
