Now Playing: July 19-25, 2009

....I realize that. What's your point?

I like his Mr. Negativity monicker. Tells you what to expect, and it shows a bit (just a bit) of humility on your part.

I find it vaguely endearing

you offend me by not making sense

I too am looking forward to Little King's Story. So today I head out to get it. Since I now live less than 5 miles from every possible chain store in the US plus 2 good locally owned gaming / hobby stores, I figured, why bother to pre-order. BOTH GameStops didn't have it yet...one did have it listed on their computer as "In a box" as he put it but when he went back to look for it, nada. Told me to come back tomorrow or call first to be sure. The other GS told me to call tomorrow. Next door to Best Buy, after much looking the very helpful guy tells me, sorry we're not even going to be carrying it. Target next door, nope. WalMart across the street, no luck. EB, yes we have one right here along with the TWO GameStops, and no luck there either, but was told to call tomorrow. Locally owned...one was closed for some reason and the other said to check back near the end of the week, he should have it. I got the feeling he was going to go buy some once I talked to him about it and he looked it up online and stock them. Hey, at least he listened to me. So I'm home and no new game for me today.

Curious as to why Best Buy isn't even going to carry it given the good reviews I've read of it. Play gave it some lovin' as did the Nintendo mouthpiece NP, along with good reviews in various places online. I do know I can order it from Amazon and also even WalMart's website has it. I am NOT a WalMart fan and it took a lot for me to go in there today :) I'll make some calls tomorrow or Thursday and if I come up empty it's Amazon.com for me. Sometimes I think it was a LOT easier when I lived too far from stores and just ordered, or pre-ordered, online and forgot about it until it arrived.

@RootiePatootie That is why I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.com

I was worried if I didn't pre-order then stores would not carry the game. It reminds me of how much trouble I had tracking down Okami in a brick and mortar store.

Thank you for your purchase of Wii Sports Resort, are you sure you wouldn't like the pre-order the Metroid Prime Trilogy?! Now with 2/3 more waggle!

Yeah, pretty much. They just start asking you if you want to preorder one of about 1,000 other games.

Now they'll just start asking you about Batman: Arkham Asylum, or Metroid Prime Trilogy, with incessant nagging about ODST to follow that :)

Testing Testing. Testicles 1-2.

we don't serve yer kind here, partner

You need a personal trainer to learn how to walk?

how's the employment situation, samfish?

Still a bit unstable, but looking better. I think. Better enough to buy a game at least.

Mine still blows :P but no better time to be unemployed, comfortably picky about the job search, having unemployment pay the bills & rent in the interim while it's July in San Diego!

I almost buckled and bought a cuppla 360 games during the Target sale yesterday but decided not to. Really want Prototype but am getting mixed reviews, our dear old Seatuna said buy it, and our dear old Dirty said rent it.

When in doubt, rent it out!

Wait...did that finally come out? I bought it for PC when Circuit City was going out of business based off the name alone.

Oops my mistake, it's out next month actually.

But in the meantime if you want to see something incredible check out its Gamefaqs message board... A series of insightful discussions ensue.

Aaargh, those forums made my head hurt. I'm not sure why I ever follow links to GameFaqs forums, it never turns out well.

are people still emo about the Zodiac Spear?

ProTip: There were other ways of getting it

FYI... people have learned a way to ensure that you find the Zodiac Spear in its random chest, averaging about one spear an hour if you're up to it. Check gamefaq's.

@ Moptimus
1. I didn't know the verb emo exist.
2. The zodiac spear issue is a retard thing and people have the right to complain about it.
3. That's not a protip.

@Cheezeman3000
That's bs. There's one shot in a thousand that you can get it. So it can either take 1 minute or it can take forever.

I for one tried it for like 200 times and never got it so don't you all get superior on me.

@Ashitaka

1. I used Emo as an adjective, not a verb. Learn2BuildSentences
2. no, because as I pointed out, there were more ways than just the mines
