I bought is on release date because I loved the conceit of a game based on Odyssey to the West, and because preview descriptions made it sound like something I would enjoy. (I did.)

@Mach2 I had the titles confused in my mind for a moment... I was thinking "wait, people paid for that?... well, they DO pay for fart apps..."

If you haven't watched the show, you owe it to yourself to do so, at least the first season.

The tonal similarities are such that Bright Falls almost feels like a parody at first; I keep expecting the joke to come. There are a few shots (like the opening, or the ceiling fan close-up) that are direct homage. It finds its own voice more when it turns towards overt suspense/horror.

Nice, but not as nice as Joystiq!

I heard you've been nice, dawg, so I put some nice in your Naughty Dog so you can get nice from Naughty Dog.

I never realized how much David Lee Roth looked like T-Pain.

A classic: I was in a play that was about to start, and I hadn't learned any of the lines.

If they consider the comic book and movie just marketing for the game, I'd say they still don't get it. Both were enjoyable but could have been better; they could have been moneymakers in their own right with a little more effort. Look to the .hack franchise for inspiration; the books and a couple of the anime were better than the games.
