Superman, the Complete History : The Life and Times of the Man of Steel
Les Daniels

Must've been a gift. Don't remember reading that and not really a Superman fan ... more of a Batman kind of guy.
 
2008 with something it is unable to display...

Pretty sure it was a book I needed to replace, since my university uses a rental system.

I'm pretty sure it was Gothic in the Spring of 2004 for around $17. I turned to Amazon after not finding a boxed copy anywhere in my hometown. Up to that point I had been able to buy any game I really wanted locally. PC Game sections were really starting to shrink.

I had found Gothic 2 at Gamestop (the great review by Desslock in PC Gamer intrigued me), and reading more about it convinced me to play Gothic first. That turned out to be one of the great decisions of my gaming life, even though I had to wait like 4 weeks for the damn thing to come from SE Asia.

Doesn't say what it was for, but the amount sorta tells me its was for the three DVDs of Hard Boiled: Criterion Collection.
