So I wanted to buy a new PC game as a reward to myself for doing well in college. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the newer consoles (xbox 360, wii, the like) because of said school. I just haven't been able to devote a couple hundred dollars to this, but I can afford the game. So I'm wondering if you guys can recommend something new and recent available for PC. My computer should be able to handle the graphics on most games these days, as it was updated relatively recently thanks to my parents. (I can play WoW in Northrend at high settings with minimal lag even in Dalaran, for a reference) I thought I might get Assassin's Creed II, but it looks like that one doesn't release for PC until next year. I'm expecting to get Dragon Age Origins for PC for Christmas, so I'd like to avoid that one. I enjoy a lot of RPGs, if you are looking for ideas on what I like. I did play Bioshock and enjoy it, even though it's not my usual sort of game. Thanks guys. ^^ Edit: Clarified that ACII releases for PC next year, to my knowledge, as I know the Xbox 360/PS3 version is already available. Checked on www.gamefaqs.com for that information...

Except for the Sims, I've always preferred consoles over the PC when it comes to gaming; plus, my computer was never top-of-the-line, so it couldn't hack a lot of the games a few years ago.
But I've recently come to discover that the laptop I have now can easily handle some of the older games - right now, I'm playing through Star Wars: Republic Commando and KotOR. I was also thinking about buying Half-Life and HL2 - is the storyline decent for that series?
If you guys have any other recs for PC games from the past several years that I might've missed out on, that'd be awesome. Combat/action doesn't matter to me so much as a good storyline. Current Music: Jon Foreman - My Love Goes Free | Powered by Last.fm

So my boyfriend has a TON of Magic cards that he's looking to sell (just short of 6000 cards), but he's having issues actually selling them. ( His description of the lot on craigslist.. )He's had them listed on craigslist for a few days, but the only people that have contacted him about them offered about $50 for the lot, which seems awfully low, but they said that he wouldn't get any more than that. Most of his cards (3/4 of them or so from what he says) are from roughly 1994-2000, so they're not all exactly recent cards, but from what he found on various price guides and that, his collection should be worth at least a couple hundred. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go about selling these, or is anyone possibly interested in buying them?

I thought I'd show a few plushies I made for two custom orders! I'm still open for making these. Looks like I'll be able to take custom orders until about the 10th of January. I start school on January 19th (although luckily, I picked four pretty easy classes, and don't have classes on Friday), so working on customs might take a bit longer then. So, if anyone's still interested! I'll keep my "holiday special" ($25 first doll, $5 each additional doll) until the 31st of December! If you order before that date, the special applies. Although at this point, I wouldn't recommend ordering gifts or anything; there's no guarantee you'll have it before the desired date (keeping in mind work time + backed up holiday mail delivery). ( Plushies! )

Can anyone tell me about hard drives for the 360?
I've heard that I can install the games that I have on disc, onto a hard drive, is this true? I don't mean downloaded games (my 360 isn't online and won't be, for the foreseeable future) or saved games, I mean the actual game to be played without using the disc..
If that's the case, roughly how big is the file per game? I know some games will obviously be larger than others but just an approximation would do. Of the games I have, on disc, Midnight Club, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey and WWE R vs S 2009 seem like they would be largest.

Okay, this really isn't for myself, but for my husband.
Are there any "newer" online fighting type games out for the PC that are... cheapish? (Say $20 or less.) Even an older one would be alright if the price was right and it has a good amount of people online.
From what I've gathered, he's wanting something that MAYBE has real content, but can go online and he can just fight real people. (Sort of how Cod: MW is set up. Note: I know Cod: MW2 is out for the PC, but he wants to get that for the 360 eventually.) *adding* Mostly something along the lines of a FPS.
I remember telling him about Dragon Age: Origins because of all the rave reviews here (& bc I want it) and he was very interested, but when we were in the store he was being fickle about the fact it doesn't look like there is any online play. Since there are a lot of sales going on right now/today, I figured I'd see what I could find out here. :)
If all that makes sense. ^^;
Normally I can look up games for myself easily, but his play style differs from mine. And I pretty much suck at picking out games for him. (We only play a handful of the same games.)
Thanks in advance! ♥ Shannon
