I've gone for all the uncanny x-men comics (there's 20 on sale which should be a complete story arc) and the 4 Journey into Mysterys that are suggested in the blog post.

First Sundance channel original series (I assume related to the festival?), drama about a man adjusting to life after prison. I've heard people calling it BB levels of good.

Plan to watch this once I've finished twin peaks, I've heard some really glowing things about it.

525 Irregular clothing sizes.
My feet fit fine in most size 12 shoes, but now I'm trying to get some nice shoes for work my feet are suddenly 12-and-a-bit, and normal places stop at 12 and it's now just a massive hassle and UGH.

Is anybody else on PS+? The instant game collection is really making it incredible value for money. For under £4 a month (and even less if you buy the codes on offer in-store somewhere), you get access to a selection of games for the entire time your subscription is active.
I joined in March, I've already got Joe Danger 2, Mass Effect 3, The Cave, Thomas was Alone, Okami HD, Hitman Absolution, Catherine, Infamous 2, plus some more. Next month's titles have been announced as ICO + Shadow of Colossus HD, and Demon's Souls.
These alone easily are worth £3-4 a month, plus the auto-updates and discounts (Bought Ni No Kuni for £17.99 just now). Honestly feels like you could buy this for a year and just not buy any more games til PS4.

Isn't part of it the exploration, so if you could see a cube you weren't meant to be able to see at the start of the level (or worse I guess if you can't see one you are supposed to see, like if it was too far off to the side).
Played an hour or so on PC. Pretty neat, not yet convinced it's anything incredible though. The world map is annoying to use.

I spent nearly £6 at Subway today which made me realise it is dumb to put off buying.

I definitely see 'looks like more GTA' as a positive.
I am going to spend hours if not days in that world.

So this is out on PC in a couple of days. If I don't care about Phil Fish, and now people have had some time to think, is it worth getting the pre-order with 10% discount?
I definitely heard more about Fez before it came out than after.

Don't really know what I'm looking for. Just a story that's interesting and engaging. I figured comics would be happy medium between a book and a film. Don't really have much interest in superheroes (Marvel and DC stuff holds no appeal) or fantasy though, which seems to be severely limiting the comics that are out there.

Out on PSN now (and free for those on PS+. which really is becoming a massive bargain).
Just completed it today. This is a really cool game, all the levels just feel so well-designed. Think I'm going to play through again with the commentary, which I have never been compelled to do in a game before ever.

Ok thanks.
The second half of Zombies vs Robots (vs WOMEN) was particularly balls (hey nerds look at all these nipples), and the Legend of Luther Strode was also balls (hey nerds look at all this violence and teenage angst). I've read a bit of wolverine but it's all about Japan and stuff and I don't care. Comics are also super expensive for what you get.
Gonna try Watchmen before deciding that comics just aren't for me. Chapter 1 was pretty good.
