Both Borders had a ton of 13, the first store had two copies of 11 and one copy of 9 in shitty condition, and I managed to snag the only copy of 12 at the second Borders. So since the Compendium is volumes 1-8, I still need to pick up 9 and 10 before I can continue reading. But hey, they were half off.
...seriously, most of it is just made up words for things that don't actually mean anything more than "Plot Convenience Ray".
umm... your point being?
Obviously, the idea of mixing matter with significantly obtainable amounts of antimatter in a controlled environment, and using a variant of lithium in crystalline form to control the explosive reaction is... preposterous at best.
Further, the fact that Trek's ability to travel or communicate with others at FTL speeds is completely dependent on the existence of "subspace" (otherwise known as "hyperspace" in other sci-fi related franchises) makes Trek's theories on the application of warp travel all the more suspect.
However, some of what they say isn't entirely nonsensical--such as the idea that if one could (theoretically) create a field around oneself such that their mass relative to surrounding space was nonexistent, then one would require very little thrust to travel extremely fast.
I purchased Borderlands from Steam for $5. Then I realized that a GOTY version existed, was available $7.50 (which includes all DLC), and that to buy the DLC alone for the standard version was also $7.50 (on top of $5 for the standard game).
I opened a Steam support question immediately (on Friday), asking Valve to exchange my standard copy for GOTY. They replied on Saturday by saying that if I gifted the GOTY version to my own email address, they would then refund me for the standard version. I did so.
They haven't removed the standard version from my account nor refunded me yet, but it was only just Saturday that this happened.
$375 on my existing student loans. One loan I consolidated to get a lower interest rate, which is now costing me $200. The other loan was for that extra semester I didn't realize I needed, which is sitting pretty at $100. The rest is for the semester following the one I failed, which is $75.
Per month, mind you.
And unless I find a job soon, I'll be broke by Christmas. Stupid loan company won't lower my monthly payments unless I'm actively employed or on Unemployment Benefits (which I'm not given the nature in which I lost my job).
I think not even kids could like The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
Methinks the real problem is that so many kids actually DID like KotCS. Wow, that abbreviation is quite fitting in German, it's as close to Kotz as it gets.
I listened to some of it on Youtube and loved it. And as an avid collector of VG music (the actual games they belong to were often only of secondary importance to me), I ordered the soundtrack here.
And yes, still no Steam for me. Instead, a physical CD of the soundtrack. Limited edition of 2500, probably sold out in a day or two... YAY!!!!

@Vainamoinen: That might take a long while until the CD arrives in Germany (my Super Meat Boy Cd took forever to arrive) But you get the digital version too but the download will expire after a while (several months!). Be sure to grab it while you can.

I'm listening to the digital variant RIGHT NOW, but thanks for the warning!
The OSTs are supposedly shipping around September 2nd, so I'll expect the arrival somewhere between September 15 and October 15... that should suffice.
I won't say much with respect to KotCS, but I can say that I left the cinema thoroughly depressed. I went in there almost determined to love the shit out of it, but my jaw did not only drop, but also wrap around my head with disbelief and disappointment during the movie.

I bought it on DVD for <9€ without knowing anything about it. I just wanted to complete my collection and then I saw that piece of... *Ihavenonicewordsforit*.
God was I disappointed.
Oh on the SMB-Score: It took 2 months to arrive (I ordered after it was released, no preorder) but others in Germany got it a few days earlier. And the day I finally asked the support where my CD was it was in the mail a few hours later.
I caught this movie in Leverkusen. In 2008, they had just demolished the old city hall there, and the theatre is directly adjacent. Let's just say the post-apocalyptic mood when I went home was perfect.

I was watching it at home, alone, by myself and was pretty confused to the end. I showed it to my cousin who liked it. But then again he thinks the old movies are boring. He is the same with Star Wars & the Prequels. HE is in the group of people these movies were made for.
Needless to say that I stopped any communication with him by now.
I really liked the South Park episode about the movie though. They really figured out what was wrong with Kotz.
I haven't seen any Indy films before, except for Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was pretty cheap anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter all that much. I could consider it "something to complete the collection with", perhaps?
EDIT: And besides, I should watch it and get my own opinion anyway. Yeah, it's most likely really bad, at least compared to the first three films, but whatever. If I don't like it, I don't have to see all of it.
Unless you're buying from The Book Depository or something, isn't it not technically a purchase as they don't take your money until it ships? That also reminded me Paper Mario was delayed to 2012, so I've lost incentive to get a 3DS before the year ends.
Pre-orders: Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Bros 3D, Star Fox 3D, The new Prof Layton, Zelda Skyward Sword WM+ edition, Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario 3DS, Devil Survivor 2, Pokemon Rumble Blast, Cave Story 3DS, Kirby Returns to Dreamland, and Twisted Metal.
Assassin's Creed II DLC. Sequence 12: Battle of Forli and Sequence 13: Bonfire of the Vanities. Now I need to find a flash drive so I'll have the storage space for Brotherhood's DLC when I get to it, because my Xbox's memory unit is down to just over 1 GB without a hard drive.

Pants... I didn't peg you for a Star Trek fan.

But again, it's only a TV show.

One is not like the others
And I'm not referring to the fact that Indy 4's cover is in Swedish.
Are you refering to the fact that only Indie 4 is silly and unwatchable for a person with an IQ that has 2 digits?
One of the covers is neither by Richard Amsel NOR Drew Struzan?
One has Sean Connery on the cover. I got it right, didn't I?
The one on the right is a kid's movie.
I know what you're thinking: Why did I ruin the joke? BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING FUCKING OLD.
WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS TO MYSELF!!!
I thought that the answer was that you're Captain Obvious.
It's a family movie, and a really good one, too
I think not even kids could like The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

All aircraft report.
You're becoming more like your father!
Ahh! Help me!
Where did you get it and why?
And yes, still no Steam for me. Instead, a physical CD of the soundtrack. Limited edition of 2500, probably sold out in a day or two... YAY!!!!
It wasn't THAT bad.
oh please.

It's pretty amazing, isn't it? And yay for buying the actual CD version!
Are those poseable?
