I got Amnesia and the Penumbra Collection for $33.46 (CAD)!
I'm on Episode II of Penumbra right now. Playing them all up in order.
The first game... not so good. It didn't have much in the way of explaining anything, but you could draw some conclusions based on the texts you would find. The combat mechanics sucked (you weren't really supposed to engage anything in combat anyway, so keep that in mind), Some of the puzzles were kind of weird, in the sense that I would give up and use a guide a few times to figure out what to do. (For example I don't understand why you need an ignition key in a remote console to operate a giant moving vehicle...) Also the atmosphere just lost its touch after a while. I'll still maintain that it's a good game to introduce people to the engine, especially for people like me who are entirely new to the adventure/survival horror stuff, but if you've already played Amnesia and feel like playing Penumbra, you won't miss much by starting with Black Plague.
The gameplay with Black Plague so far seems just leagues better. There's MUCH more of a sense of danger and a necessity for stealth. The atmosphere is really unnerving. The story is absolutely delightful. Despite that it's completely scientifically implausible, just the concept of what's happening to the main character is so cool to me... I just think it was explained in the wrong way. I Am Legend (the book) described vampires with a compelling science, the same COULD have potentially been done for the Tuurngait, but that's a minor thing anyway. There's also a character in it that I really like. He makes me laugh, despite (and probably because) he's a huge jerk. I'm not too far in it because I'm too freaked out to play, so don't take this as my final word yet.

I've been trying out this game called APB Reloaded. It's in "beta" still but it's basically like GTA mixed with TF2, in a sense... Massively multiplayer Red vs. Blue GTA/Saints Row style 3rd person shooter, basically. Red team is criminals and Blue team is cops. Mega customizable and pretty cool and Free To Play with few limits that you can pay to remove.
I'm hoping this'll keep me until Saints Row The Third comes out next month, but I might keep playing beyond that if all goes well.
Now, I'm still trying to find a way to make the game NOT lag so much I get plugged by everyone during missions and SUCK, but if anyone's been playing this or is interested I'd roll with youz; My character is an Enforcer (cops) named Collymore, my account is mccollymore.
Also I forgot to mention that my Steam account is mcCOLLYMORE, if anyone wants to play TF2. Though I know I'm late to that party, and I'm not sure if I'll lag there as well or not because I've only been playing bots so far. Still can't add friends because I haven't BOUGHT anything on Steam yet, so I don't know if it'll even work.
Aaannd I've been playing Pokemon FireRed "with" my girlfriend (she's been playing LeafGreen) and naming my Pokemon after Shakespearean characters.

Soooo a friend of mine came into my room last night at 1:30AM with a proposition. He had purchased the collector's edition of Skyrim for PC, with the dragon statue and artbook, soundtrack and all that hullabaloo, but the DVD drive of his PC broke, and due to his impatience, purchased the 360 version of the game. The only reason he would replace his DVD drive is to play Skyrim, which would cost him about $20+ S+H. He figured he could part with the disc, the unactivated code, and even the soundtrack disc for $40. Since he kind of owed me a favor, he dropped the price for me to $30. $30 for the Skyrim disc, an unactivated game code, the soundtrack, and the sweet map that comes with it. I could not refuse. Add Skyrim to the list of games I am currently playing. Along with DC Universe online, Dirt 3, Sonic Adventure DX for PC, Burnout Paradise PC, Trackmania 2:Canyon, Battlefield 3, and more. So many games. So little free time. My thanksgiving break will involve a LOT of catching up ![:)](https://www.megaman.co.uk/mboard/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
