Gamer Outraged

Yes! One of the finest Steam sales ever is going on right now - both Left 4 Dead games 66% off. Not only that, Left 4 Dead 2 just became available on Mac and you can have both, the PC and Mac, versions in one sweet bundle so damn cheap! This post could have been all exclamation marks, I am that excited!

I've spotted Mount & Blade quite some time ago. I've seen it getting decent rating but didn't bother reading any of the reviews. I've seen it sold for a bargain price, but didn't care to buy it without knowing if it was worth even the low price tag. I really don't know why I was almost deliberately trying to avoid this game. It would have probably slipped by me if it wasn't for Steam . Character creation process is classy During the weekend deal of the last week of August (well, it appeared as they've extended it one day, at least) Mount & Blade was 75% and Mount & Blade: Warband 66% off the original price. The prices were down from EUR 29,99 each to EUR 7,50 and EUR 10,20 respectively. Now, the full price is outrageous, for the original M&B at least. It's possible to buy the boxed version for about EUR 6, that version also having more value. Something to put on a shelf, right? (Well, might be only me that old-fashioned.) Anywa...

I've just watched The House of the Devil (2009) and would like to comment on it. It's a horror movie, but fifteen minutes into the movie it already becomes apparent that it's not like any other modern horror picture. Not only the story is set in the 80's, the movie style itself obviously pays tribute to the style of the horror features of the same era. The flick was even released on VHS (among DVD and Blu-ray of course). VHS release of The House of the Devil What is really special about The House of the Devil is how slowly and steadily it builds up the suspense. In the first hour and fifteen minutes of the movie there is almost no story progress at all, almost nothing is happening. Samantha, the main heroine, is a sophomore. She shares a room with a wench who's lifestyle is rather messy for cleanly Samantha. The girl decides to move out and finds just a perfect place. The only problem is she doesn't have money to pay for it. So happens Samantha stumbles upo...

Yesterday I watched Locked Up (1989), an action prison movie starring Sylvester Stallone opposite Donald Sutherland . Now, I must admit, even though not a huge fan of Stallone, I have a very soft spot for this actor and enjoy most of his movies. I definitely wouldn't say that I can get the kicks out of every movie featuring Sly, I found it painful to watch Tango & Cash (1989) for example, but I do like some of his lamest movies nonetheless. Egyptian poster Back to Lock Up. There is no denying that the movie had a myriad of plot holes, and still, I found it completely enjoyable and would undoubtedly have fun watching it again in the future. It's really hard to explain why I liked Lock Up: the plot is not original, there are so many goofs in the story it's better not to mention them at all, the characters, even though memorable (at least for me), are rather 2-dimensional. Still, it was quite easy not to think about all the flops but just go with the flow of the movi...
