Gaming memoirs sound interesting. 

I can hear ten snobs say, "No, you can objectively say what is good or bad. Citizen Cane is good, and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is definitely BAD." But those are just snobs. 

I jumped on maybe the second or third movie. I like those sailing ships. Don't get that much in movies anymore. Last one I can think of was Master and Commander and that was a long time ago now. 

I'm been having trouble getting into Prey. I played about an hour of it and I can't seem to get back to it. If I don't play it tomorrow, I'm sending it back to Gamefly. Survival horror was never my thing. I liked the first Prey with its classic FPS style. 

Great overview of the series, by the way. 

I'd go out and get them right now, but I'm unemployed at the moment. Here's to hoping. 

In some cases it looks good, in others it's kind of dull, at least to my eyes. 

Imagine four arms. Does the left upper know what the right lower is doing?

I have three books full of cds. I got into vinyl earlier this year and so I have one box of those that I'm digitizing. Mostly I've been getting stuff from the libraries though. I don't have much attachment to physical media in the music realm anymore. 

I guess you can objectively talk about technique in media and art and what it does in conveying the message. Critics have to decide if the work is good or not. That's pretty subjective but you can talk about how technique is used and whether it serves the vision of the work. Critics have to explain why they like or dislike a thing. Objective analysis may help convice a reader of his/her argument. The measure of the work may be the end result though and not the skillfullness of the technique used. 

I've had Prey on rental for a while now but just can't get myself to play it more than the hour I've played already. It's more survival horror than the first Prey which was a typical FPS. I guess I'm not excited by survival horror much. If I don't get to it tomorrow, I'm returning it.
