If I think that a movie is good, I generally prefer 3+ hours. Just that I rarely find a good movie. It's why I often like good television shows - the lower format allows for deeper material. You have time to invest in the characters, in the world. Same reason that I love good video games. In general I think that they are a stronger storytelling format than are movies.
Speaking of which, I've started playing Fable. I'm not overly impressed.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I always found that series to be over-hyped.
I've played games with kiddie-style graphics that were deep and amazing. However, so far I'm not really impressed by Fable, which is somewhat disappointing. That and it's not really as open a gameplay style as something like Dragon Age is.

Speaking of which, anyone interested in getting me Dragon Age: Inquisition next month? I don't know if I'll have the $$ to spare on it...

Seriously? Which one are you on? It's an amazing series. Great story, but you have to get a fair ways into it to really figure out what is going no. Are you on the original? That's the older XBOX title, it's a bit less than the next one. Fable 2 is the highlight of the series, it is originally from the 360.

I played through most of the first one, but the story just didn't hook me like it did others. I know my brother and his wife loved the series I just couldn't start enjoying it for some reason. I didn't touch the second one... maybe I should go back and try again when I have time.

Oh, and AJ... it's "Gollum", not Golem.

With the exact spellings of names from Middle Earth, I cannot be tried.

I was thinking Golem as in the mythical stone warriors created by dwarves.

Yes, that would be a golem.
