Evening O'Reading

by Alice O'Connor, Apr 17, 2009 6:00pm PDT

Oh, is the week over already? Doesn't time fly when you're having fun! Now, I collapse into a slumber so deep only true love or screeching children outside could rouse me.

If you like video games you're in luck, because this is a video games website:

Street Fighter 4 to get free tournament mode.
GTA: Chinatown Wars sales are disappointingly low, you bums.
Staggering Demigod piracy figures.
Earth 2160 is finally fixed on Steam, huzzah!
F.E.A.R. 2 patch with Toy Soliders maps arrives, trailers still awesome.
Terror of Left 4 Dead Survival Pack conveyed by graphs.

Photography thread
I got a couple rolls of medium format film developed and scanned the other day and a few came out pretty cool. I just love the hazy feel of the photos although sometimes the camera freaks out with bright lights.
