Man, look at this review of Red Dead
http://www.slate.com/id/2255619/

Is there no end of the conspiracy to get me to buy this game?

As those of you hooked into the goofy network that is Facebook know, I
possess a $50 Amazon giftcard that I, as a Horse Academy employee,
received for answering online radio-selection questions about my
health. How many times a week do I do 15-30 minutes of exercise? How
many drinks do I drink each night?

The answer to both of these is: about three thousand.

Anyway I am of several minds on how to spend this money, which I barely earned:

1) ON VIDEO GAMES (specifically, on Red Dead)

up side: Everyone loves this game. My friends love this game, snarky
internet reviewers love this game.

down side: I hardly need another distraction, particularly one with a
strong narrative element.

2) ON BOOKS PUBLISHED BY SMALL PRESSES

up side: These are books I probably can't find in the local library.

down side: Who knows if these books suck serial killer dick, or are
righteous explorations?

3) ON MOVING EXPENSES (because Sarah and I hope to leave this sweaty
purgatory this fall)

up side: well, there's always stuff you need to buy once you move.

down side: What in this category can you buy for $50?
