Didn’t Stay Busy Enough
Dallas, 1:20 AM (12/29): Another day down, another Steam purchase made (this time grabbing mainly things that were on sale for the entire duration and I just didn’t buy before). You have to think, or at least hope, that the inevitable increase in sales combined with the lower price nets the developers significantly more money than they would otherwise be expecting to make so that sales happen more often. If a game is $20 in a store or on Steam, I’ll probably just go ahead and get the physical copy, but when it’s only $5 on Steam, there isn’t much of a contest about what to choose.
Sherlock Holmes was a good movie, but nothing super exciting for me. I enjoyed it, but I felt it was a little long, a little slow (or perhaps ill-paced is a better term), and probably not worth a DVD purchase. I don’t know if having read the books would have pushed me more towards either extreme, but I have to rate it as just an entertaining, slightly above average movie. My score: 7/10.
