I have one, but I haven't worn it since my last bout of depression. I did go for a walk yesterday, which felt good. Just couldn't get going today.

Man, I love Rise of the Tomb Raider. I need to go back to it. It's a silly thing, but my girlfriend ended up finishing it and got most of the achievements, so there is nothing for me to do other than play the game for myself.

Which SHOULD be reason enough for me, but I do love me some achievements...

I, too, was heartbroken to hear about Deus Ex getting put on the shelf. I have loved the Adam Jensen games, and I was looking forward to more. I worry about Square Enix's expectations for sales. You mentioned their disappointment with Tomb Raider 2013, and I have been scratching my head over that for years. Tomb Raider: Underworld sold 2 million copies worldwide over the game's entire run. Tomb Raider 2013 beat that number in the first MONTH, and SE was calling it a failure. Like, what were you expecting, Call of Duty numbers?

It gets weirder when you look at the series as a whole. I was reading a story about Tomb Raider in a retro magazine, and guess what? The 2013 game is the highest seller in the history of the franchise. Yep, it did better than Tomb Raider 1 and 2, which are the only games that come close to its sales. 

Now, it seems like Mankind Divided is not doing as well as Human Revolution, but we're still in the early days (well, not SO early) of this generation, and there just aren't as many Xbox Ones and PS4s on the market as there were 360 and PS3. I just hope that Deus Ex is a temporary hold, and not put into the cold storage lockup that the Legacy of Kain series was banished to when Square Enix bought Eidos. 

I recently watched 1-6. I had never seen them before, and I thought each one is better than the last. But my love of big, dumb action movies is well documented. I'm that guy who loves The Expendibles...all three of them.

Yeah, I'm curious to see what it's like! I think back in 2003 the attendance was well over 60,000, but I heard that attendance has dipped below 40,000, so with the 15,000 public tickets available the actual show floor should have about the same feel as it did way back then. 

Of course, now there are far fewer companies with booths, so I am expecting parts of it to feel very sad and empty. 

Yeah, I'll be doing this instead of going to the Denver Comic Con with my best friends. We went last year and it was a lot of fun. I get to stay with them, so the only cost is the gas it takes me to drive to Colorado and food during the trip.

Xander Cage is big, dumb, and fun. I loved it. I think they're trying to do a Fast and the Furious thing with it, and I'd love to see another one, even though I hadn't seen the first two. I thought the action scenes were cool, and Donnie Yen is just so amazing. 

I never got to attend any of the parties or big events, but I have very fond memories of the big days of E3, and I'm glad I have 2010 as a comparison piece to what the show has become. I'm sure it's even more different now than it was then, but I'm looking forward to going. 

Man, that album is one of my favorites, and I still listen to it often. Very rare to see people bring it up!

Soul Reaver 2 was PS2, but even then it looked amazing for its time. I remember the first in-engine cutscene and marvelling that they had rendered a character's tongue, which moved realistically as he talked.

The Dead Space 2 intro is extra effective if you played the Dead Space Ignition game that came out for PSN and XBLA, because the main character of that game is the one that gets turned into a necromorph right before your eyes.

To each their own. I love the vocal tracks from Silent Hill 2-4. Fun fact is that the default version of this video only has dialogue at the beginning and end. Once you beat the game the attract video changes to include all the dialogue.
