   Today’s #wordoftheday is arbalest: a crossbow with a mechanism that automatically draws back and releases the string.

     I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a Arbalest to the knee.

     @nybill I am waiting until I can get the game for $35 (used) at the local record store, then scooping it.

     Nice….Can you get it used? I thought they tie the key to peoples steam accounts.

     Is it possible to play that on some sort of Linuxy machine? I haven’t the Windows, and I doubt it works on Super Nintendo.

     @nybill @gnomerx sorry, I keep most of my gaming on the PS3. Easier to get used games, and stays hooked up to TV. Keeps PC free for linux

     I’ve thought of getting a used PS3 more than once. Maybe it’ll happen this year.

     @gomerx I use it for games/Netflix/movies from my PC. Its a good entertainment platform. Its very freedom-hating thou.

     @gomerx as much of Nintendo fanboy that I am, PS3 is just awesome, best console this generation.

     I’m not much of a gamer, but I do like my PS3 better than #SonOne‘s Wii or #SonTwo‘s Xbox.

     Yes. That’s a bit worrying. Netflix and Sony have both supported SOPA. Might be nice to play the occasional Blu-ray disc, though.

     @lnxwalt yes, it is s versatile. Not just for gaming anymore.

     @gomerx I think to fully un-support SOPA you would have to stop watching movies/listening to Music. I always assume #Sony/#Netflix are evil.

   • Jeff Ratliff x1101

     Yes. I was thinking the same thing. It would be hard to stop supporting the industry completely. Buying used might help a bit.

     @gomerx which I faithfully do. I go to #bullmoose (Local record store) for all my music/movies

     @nybill The whole arbalest? Looks like someone wasn’t firing it properly. ;p

     @psquid No one said adventuring is easy.
