I came across this via Sirlin.net, and it struck me as f13-ey, so here you go:

Shoryuken.com: Keiji Inafune Talks to 4Gamer About Leaving Capcom and his Feelings on the Japanese Games Industry

http://shoryuken.com/content/keiji-inafune-talks-4gamer-about-leaving-capcom-his-feelings-japanese-games-industry-2293/

It is long.  It is also, for some reason, entirely in italics.  ACK!  Despite this, it's a good read.
I find the dichotomy of the Shoryuken.net and NeoGAF comments almost as amusing as the (very long) interview itself. Over at GAF it's all "Inafune's awesome and Capcom doesn't know shit for shit." While at Shoryuken it's all "What a joke. Inafune is a shifty, skeezy motherfucker and a huge hypocritical failure of a developer."

Total Annihilation - 50% off, can grab it for $5.

Never played it, has near perfect ratings..but is uh, 13 years old.  Still worth trying or will it suffer from age too much?

It wasn't a game I ever really played for the single player.  Without other people to play it with, it's at best a kick of nostalgia.  It's still honestly the best at what it does, throwing a billion different types of units at you in large numbers, but it's definitely feeling it's age.  If you liked Supreme Commander (1, not 2) and want to see where it came from, this is it though.

edit:  GoG has it for $6 normally.  Impulse has it for $5 on sale right now.

GamersGate has a lot of things on sale right now. I guess it's week 2 of their holiday sale. Some worth mentioning would be Majesty Gold for $3, Reccetgear for $10, Velvet Assassin for $3.xx, Deadspace for $6.xx, Bioshock for $5.

Overall, it doesn't compare to Steam's normal holiday sale, but there are some games on there some may be interested in.

My mom's the same way with adventure games on the DS and steam.  It's equal parts unholy and unfair.

L4D2 prolly. That would get his FPS on while letting you shoot things with him.

My dad is the same way now that he's retired.  He's really into WoW and has been asking for a 360 to play Halo.  He's actually better at PvP in WoW than I am.

So I'll probably get him a WoW sub for xmas.

Amazon currently has Enslaved (360 and PS3) for $20.

Picked one up as I had $20 in game credit from a previous order and had heard a lot of good things about it.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned either the giant PS3 hacking fiasco that just went down, or anything about the upcoming Sandy Bridge release.  I'd have imagined that either or both would have registered something here by now.

Short form:  
-  A group at 27c3 announced that they'd found a giant security flaw in the (up until now) secure PS3, and Geohot (of iPhone jailbreaking fame) then released the master keys publicly using an exploit based on their work.  

-  Sandy Bridge is pretty fricking awesome for an upper-mainstream processor, with Anand getting the 2600K to 4.4GHz stable on the stock Intel cooling solution and some pretty impressive performance even at stock clocks.

The PS3 hack doesn't matter til you can run PS2 games, which may happen but is unlikely. Blu-Rays cost way too much, and downloading the ISOs is just dumb. So, uh, no one mentioned it because it's non-news to anyone that isn't a hacker.

I don't know - I found the entire thing somewhat fascinating, particularly the revelation that Sony seeded the keys with a static value, making it (relatively) easy for the fail0verflow group & Geohot to derive them mathematically.  The implications of pretty much anyone being able to sign and run code in the not-too-distant future are also of interest to me, as I'd love to see an XBMC-type conversion in a fairly inexpensive device with a easily replaceable hard drive, network connectivity, HDMI and a BD drive.
