My worries were for nothing, I was able to install each disc individually. by Jerry Whorebach 04/23/2013, 6:45pm PDT
Rage turned out to be the single most boring FPS I ever paid money for. The only halfway decent part was a minigame called Mutant Bash TV, which was like first-person Smash TV, if Smash TV could only draw a handful of enemies at the same time because whoever programmed the engine was massively incompetent.

I'm not too broken up about it, though, since two copies of this e-mail were waiting in my inbox this morning (I think that means I won twice?):

I told them I wanted NBA 2K13. Your move, Doctor.

I'm taking the fact that I won the daily prize (twice?) after only fifteen entires as a sign that I'm potentially the only one playing, which could bode well for my chances of winning the Grand Prize: an all-expenses paid trip to EA Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia, to see the making of some stupid hockey game. I know what you're thinking - "What's second prize, TWO trips to EA Studios in Burnaby?" - but I could still probably get a grand for it on Kijiji. So, fingers crossed.
