I sincerely need help with this problem, and I hope reaching out to the depths of the internets can help me.  We’re talking a Sophie’s Choice-caliber problem here, people: I am currently signed up for both major movies-by-mail programs, and I need to cancel one.

I’ve been a Blockbuster Total Access subscriber for a couple of years now, and for the most part, the mail service works great.  Movies arrive within a day (or they did, before I moved and mail service got infinitely shittier at my new zip), and I generally get what’s at the top of my queue, except for the occasional rare item.  But, More >

Grand Theft Auto IV is shaping up to be one of the biggest and best games of the year, but it’s still got a few chinks in its armor. One of the biggest drawbacks of the “open world” or “sandbox” genre of game (which the GTA series pretty much pioneered), is the fact that since almost anything can happen, it’s pretty difficult to predict and fix every single glitch or bug. GTA IV actually had its release date pushed back from Christmas to April, so it had extra time to cook. The game still lacks some polish and there are plenty of odd glitches here and there.
