Yeah I just beat Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Aside from the fact that the vsync or something caused weird mouse lag, I thought it was a pretty great game. I like Blade Runner-y type stuff. Chad here are things you should play or investigate at least:

-Spelunky
-Tribes:Ascend
-Deponia (do you like funny classic point and click adventure games?)
-Thomas Was Alone
-Max Payne 3 (never played a Max Payne, but this got good reviews I guess)
-Superbrothers: Swords and Sorcery (I think you'd like this)
-Mass Effect trilogy (one is okay, but two and three get a lot better)
-Rayman Origins (if you want a solid platformer, not much better than this)
-Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (again, never played but got really good reviews)
-The Binding of Isaac (quirky Zelda clone)

Grown men who enjoy frolicking cartoon ponies lose most credibility. Unless you're Cuban or a 1920s Gangster then the fedora takes care of the rest.

I swear to God I do not understand nerd culture and how the fedora got associated with it. Just because you wear a certain hat doesn't mean you're motherfucking Don Draper. I counted five fedoras on way between walking in the door to Gen Con and the will call ticket booth. Five. I could be chilling in the New York subway in the 1960s during rush hour and not see five fedoras.

No, Mark wore (I guess still wears) a weird leather beret thing. And apparently goggles. Animuuu~

No I saw Jon Mittendorf like one of his pics from GenCon this year and just looked at his page from there. You guys should have hung out! It would have been a smelly good time!

Merk's pretty lucky if he only counted 5.
I am worried about Digipen because there are maybe five whom wear fedoras in their fucking avatars. Their avatars.
A-and one of my housemates is one of them...

Please please please take a half-second to do research before accepting something as true. Just because bunch of people shared a link to a story saying Samsung paid apple a billion dollars in nickels doesn't mean it really happened. If something sounds unbelievable, there's a darn good chance it isn't true.
