Hmm...10 out of 10 review for Owlboy? Sounds right.

Whens' election day and what's everybody voting? Also non Americans, who would you vote for?
Who doesn't early vote? But yeah I already voted for Hillary. No way I'm voting for a candidate who would ban my family members from coming into the country.
"You don’t play pinball with just your hands, you play it with the groin too. The pinball problem is not to stop the ball before it’s swallowed by the mouth at the bottom, or to kick it back to midfield like a halfback. The problem is to make it stay up where the lighted targets are more numerous and have it bounce from one to another, wandering, confused, delirious, but still a free agent. And you achieve this not by jolting the ball but by transmitting vibrations to the case, the frame, but gently, so the machine wont’ catch on and say Tilt. You can only do it with the groin, or with a play of the hips that makes the groin not so much bump, as slither, keeping you on this side of an orgasm. And if the hips move according to nature, it’s the buttocks that supply the forward thrust, but gracefully, so that when the thrust reaches the pelvic area, it is softened, as in homeopathy, where the more you shake a solution and the more the drug dissolves in the water added gradually, until the drug has almost entirely disappeared, the more medically effective and potent it is. Thus from the groin an infinitesimal pulse is transmitted to the case, and the machine obeys, the ball moves against nature, against inertia, against gravity, against the law of dynamics, and against the cleverness of its constructor, who wanted it disobedient. The ball is intoxicated with vis movendi, remaining in play for memorable and immemorial lengths of time. But a female groin is required, one that interposes no spongy body between the ileum and the machine, and there must be no erectile matter in between, only skin, nerves, padded bone sheathed in a pair of jeans, and a sublimated erotic fury, a sly frigidity, a disinterested adaptability to the partner’s response, a taste for arousing desire without suffering the excess of one’s own: the Amazon must drive the pinball crazy and savor the thought that she will then abandon it."
-Umberto eco, page 222 of Foucalt's Pendulum, 1988
There's a pretty good Humble Bundle going on, although it runs out by 17:00 UTC
https://www.humblebundle.com/day-of-the-devs-2016
Luminocity, Broken Age and Titan Souls. Massive Chalice, Oxenfree and Grim Fandongo remastered if you pay more than the average of $4.45 . Pay *9 or more for Day of the Tentacle remaster and a vip ticket to some convention that already happened.
I remember way back when the Euro overtook the dollar, how people would fly to NYC to go binge shopping and actually save money when compared to if they bought all the same stuff locally.
I can not imagine the amount of whoring you'd need to do to achieve the same net gain though.
A similar thing happens in Florida with the Brazilian tourists over here. In Brazil there are extremely high taxes on electronics that are made outside of the country, like PlayStations and iPhones it cetera. If I recall a PlayStation 3 would retail for almost $2,000 there. Once their economy really started kicking into high gear, they started flying over here in huge numbers to make high-end purchases because they could save so much money. There were even shopping centres specifically to cater to Brazilians and would ship their purchases directly to the airport.
Unfortunately they are absolutely obnoxious and horrible people. There are nothing but horror stories from people who work in the tourism industry having to deal with the Brazilians. The stories would be comical if they were not true. When the Brazilian economy begin to crash a year or so ago you could actually hear a sigh of relief from anyone who worked at the theme parks or hotels in the tourist area.

I think that rings true for most of the new riches of the poorer countries. In my line of work I come into contact with these kinds of people now and then, and their self esteem inflated along with their bank accounts. They love to talk and explain how they see it, even if they know nothing on the subject and are just talking out of their ass. Of course, 30 minutes later when they're done, I get to tell them exactly that and how we are going to do things.

Oh man that Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer was awesome. So pumped for this game. Also Mass Effect 2 & 3 hit the Xbox One backwards compatibility list today. Nice.
