Xbox LIVE Square Enix Publisher Sale: 02/07 - 02/13/12

What's that? A Square Enix sale on Xbox Live, eh? Well, I reckon if you're not playing a game with reckoning in the name you may find something of worth in this here publisher sale. There's a decent selection of items to choose from—including a ton of Tomb Raider items and the usual Avatar crap (I like Avatars to a point)—and best of all, it's a weeklong sale, so no need to worry if you don't have the points just yet. You can check out the full collection of on-sale items here, but I also provided a few links below for that which I personally recommend. - The sale is live and ends next Monday, February 13, 2012, so no, the sale can't be your valentine.

Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' for 02/07 - 02/13/12

This week's Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' is about a little game many got for free and I don't know how many actually bought. Crimson Alliance is the name and Gauntlet (basically) is the game. I've played the game, beat it, enjoyed the DLC, and while my first impressions were iffy, I really enjoyed my time with the game and had fun playing both alone and with friends. You may say, "Well, I only really like *insert class here* so I'm only going to buy that one," but there's really no point in saving a few bucks when you can get all the characters instead.

The new, amazing Amazing Spider-Man Official Trailer

I have always been excited to hear/see more about the Spider-Man reboot, but now, I'm more excited for this film than any other comic-related film of 2012; more than The Avengers and more than The Dark Knight Rises. It truly looks amazing.

"Pillow"

The following story is a piece of flash fiction written by yours truly. You may or may not be surprised by the type of story based on what little you know of me and, more specifically, my usual sarcastic tone. This is what I do and I hope you find something of value in that which lies below, even if it's only fodder for trolling me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pillow"

Knock, knock. The yellow door is all that differentiates Corey's family home from the rest, each house in the suburban subdivision is painted white with charcoal tiled roofs, no flowers, no color, only waist-high hedges blending into green grass, contrasting against white concrete, SUVs and minivans hidden behind garage doors. He peels open the door and I walk in without invitation, making a left at the family portrait next to the arched doorway leading to the living room decorated in blacks and whites with only hints of color in the form of roses and tulips. I take a seat in the full-sized sofa, blacker than asphalt, cling to one end, grab a throw pillow and slip it under my shirt. "Somebody's pregnant," Corey jokes. I pull out the pillow. "It's a baby boy!" he says, "Let's name him Pillow." I force a smile.

Finish the story with a little clickage of your mousey-mouse.
