First, you will love Dirt 2. It's the best looking game I've ever seen on my television. Nothing even comes close. Once you open up Utah and some other places, the graphics really pop. They make a dude who doesn't care about graphics much (me) drool over their graphics.

I've noticed the opposite with GF. I took everything off my Q except Bordelands. I sent in Batman two and half weeks ago; they just sent me an email today saying that they shipped Borderlands.

Frustrating.

The mail is fine. Gamefly just isn't putting things in the mail fast enough.

Dirt 2 is great, imo. I loved the first one. This one is better. Same great racing, this time with flashbacks that keep you from having to restart races after one minor boo-boo.

The graphics didn't grab me at first. I hardly ever notice graphics. But when I opened Utah and Malaysia I literally went "damn!" and wrecked while looking at the graphics.

I think we do live close. I'm near St. Clement of Rome, and you're over by St. Edwards or something, no?

WDQ is like the prince of another cheesy Metairie bar that, I must confess, I ended up actually enjoying. He introduced me to it years ago; I think he started going there due to it's convenient location to where he lived and some DWI issues.

Turned out the place had a nice group of regulars. I ended up meeting my wife there, and a bunch of friends.

So maybe Step Brothers is like that for others. Who am I to judge?

I've found what works best for me is making sure that I have a slot open on the day a game I want comes out. By doing that, I've gotten all of the new releases for the past few months two days after their release. It's a bit of a pain since I have time it right to get the new games, but also get some older games I wan to try, but I find it's the best approach. I do find that it takes awhile, sometimes several days to get them to mail a game that has low availability.

that's the thing....if you have a few games at the top of your Q that are "low availability", they will only send you one of those games if it comes available....i check a couple times a week and move stuff around

there are still plenty of older title i haven't played so i am not always looking for something brand new

usually, if i want a new game that bad i just go buy it
