I'm not asking for anything here, just so we're clear.
My wife works for a domestic violence shelter and they're having a charity golf tournament. I've volunteered and have gone around asking businesses for people to play or donate. The golf place didn't hesitate, but the next twenty were like the Bit in the original Tron movie. "No no no no no no no no no no..." (I love getting to say "the original Tron movie" because now there are two. I'm a fanboy.) I felt like a jerk asking all those people for money, especially because it's 90* and I'm sweaty. It's for a good cause, but it's against my nature to play nice just to get something out of a stranger. Lame me. -------------

Apart from the heavy handed religious overtones I really liked the new movie. Olivia Wilde was quite tasty, and the effects were gorgeous.
I received the game as a gift and it took me no time to get the Platinum trophy. I'd waited since the early eighties to drive a light-bike, and my dreams came true. -------------
