I hated the BWP and loved Cloverfield. It was a stripped down giant monster movie and nothing more, nothing less. The shaky cam felt right with the tone the movie was trying to achieve, and was spectacularly used especially in the subway tunnel sequence. Also I thought it was an urban legend that people get nauseous with stuff like this. I was in a packed theater right by the main exit, and nobody left during the movie. Weird. Guess Wisconsinites have iron stomachs.
I play CoX on on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. It runs great and is lots of fun. WoW always felt more like work, you just couldn't play it in 20-30 minute chunks. That was the main reason I dumped my WoW account. With CoX, you can actually accomplish something in a spare half hour.
I may be in the minority, but I love the DC's controller. It's comfortable (for my hand size at least), light, had rumble, twin triggers, the VMU (pity it was underutilized), and was the only one that let you play Soul Calibur.
Half-Life 1 and Deus Ex would be my two top choices. I still have Half-Life installed on all my machines just cause I love that story. I am also really fond of Max Payne's story, the nightmare and drug OD sequences are awesome.
In the first where you have to jump into the tank with the bad mamma-jamma fish. You know its in there somewhere...or in Power Up the first time you encounter a Garg at the underground railway. Ravenholm in the second (of course) but also Highway 17 and Sandblast, with the antlions erupting out of the ground. Or Anti-Citizen One, the first time you encounter a Strider.
5> Falcon 4.0 -- The Flight Sim's Flight Sim. I'll just buzz around South Korea for hours. 4> Unreal Original -- If I need a fix of violence, a quick match on DMFith always helps. 3> Quake 1 w/Gooseman's Navy SEALs mod. Auto shotguns are soothing. 2> Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds -- It's always installed on my laptop, perfect for those unrelentingly frustrating manager's meetings. 1> Half-Life 1 -- I have actually lost track on how many times I have completed it, but it entertains the heck out of me and on a bad day, that's all you can really ask for.
I bought mine new in '99 and it is still going strong. I swear that thing is unkillable. You can pick one up used for around 150$ or so if you do some searching. Only two real problems. Toner and fuser are combined into one 95$ unit (good for about 10000 pages or so YMMV). No duplexer available. Good things, Jetdirect, works flawlessly with all my boxen be they Win, Mac or Penguin. It's built like a tank. I can beam print jobs to its IR port from my Newton:).

In all fairness, they do hang out with hookers.
