I rarely pre-order anything where a deposit is required. It costs me nothing to pre-order almost everything I want.

This discussion reminded me of this story I saw posted once.

Also, I was able to vote in the strawpoll, Goodwil.

expect when Woolie is around

Wooltsu swinging his giant slab of wood cutting his hungry enemies protecting his Dogsca.
i forget his dogs name.
He never really talked about how his dog died.. was he/she starved to death or eaten by the rats?

Why did i bring this up again? I don't know.. :/

Since getting into PC gaming I haven't preordered anything in a long time. No physical goodies, either.


All animals are adurable to a certain extent.

I've gotten to the point where all my games are just clutter and I wish I could give them away yet still have the ability to play them. So I've been steadily moving to digital except in cases of console exclusives and Nintendo games because their account system is fucked.

I don't preorder often. I haven't tried to online. I have an aversion to buying online because I can't see what I'm getting until after the payment and shipment of the game is said and done.

It didn't occur to me that there would be video game shortages I guess until I learned about Retsupurae/the Best Friends and importing games.

I've been collecting video games for a pretty long time. You don't have problems with mainstream titles, but there are legitimate reasons to pre-order certain collector's editions or some niche titles. Hell, Majora's Mask 3DS CE is a prime example. It sold out in an hour. If you didn't pre-order, you're not getting it.

I pretty much exclusively buy online. If something doesn't look the way I want it, I can return it for free with no hassle. In the case of Best Buy, I can even return it in store.

Well it's not illegal unless the money he's using is dirty.

Yeah, he's not a criminal, he's just an idiot.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it's fake because that's not how Gamestop's reservation system works. You can't cancel a pre-order at a different Gamestop from where you made it. Each Gamestop store has its own electronic inventory that isn't captured at another Gamestop. He wouldn't be able to go to one of his other "Gamestop ATMs" and make a withdrawal unless he had pre-orders waiting for him there.

The only regrets I think I've had where I wanted desperately to preorder or impulse buy was with console re-skins. The grey PS4 I so desperately wanted.
 
I thought Super Meat Boy was okay, it felt like it was missing something. It had a lot of challenge, but not much else. Still a great game though.

It has completely spoiled me on 2d platformers. The range of control, speed, momentum, and creative level design just feels superb.

That is correct, but he could also place preorder at multiple Gamestops and spread his money around that way.

I think they are independently managed, so unless there was an unified system, the districts wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
 
Just finished watching the newest Parasite Eve. Man this is the fucking Golden Age of lets plays. I don't think there has been a time with this many great LPs at once.

I don't know, the reason why I love Rayman games is how different each world/ Level feels, each one has its own personality. There is at least two levels in every world that I remember in detail. That and I actually really like the art style.

Their plans for the new year seems much more organized and the LPs are so much more better than initial ones.

Pat x Liam just results in so many hi jinx I love it.

If Oberon didn't do anything, we can still go over our works tomorrow then, if you are available?

I could finish it for next week if that's ok?


Oh jeez, I have 4 tests next week! Being sick sucks!
And on top of that, I just got the news that we won't go to the destination that I wanted for next years study trip! Damn, I really wanted to go to irrland!

The game is actually looking really awesome, I thought it was going to be a Tekken ripoff, but it looks a bit more interesting.

Also this.

If there gonna be some DLC costumes there better be a jojo Machamp.

Thought it was gonna be a straight ripoff as well and I'm pleasantly surprised by how it looks. Thought it was just gonna be all fighting types and I'm really glad that's not the case

I'm more surprised that they are adding 4 Legged Pokémon to the game. I thought it was mostly going to be limited to 2 legged pokemon, which opens up a large some of possibilities.

Indeed. There probably gonna put one of those legendary fighting horse pokemon but anything is possible. Hoping they put my boy Metagross through.

Accept you Pangoro, and love it.

Oh damn how could I forget.
