On another note, what's with all of these small releases not becoming available at GS? Could be a sign of their business troubles. I'd rather just go out and pick this stuff up. I find it especially odd that Walmart is getting some of them, but not GS?

Which releases? Are you referring to games like Worms W.M.D PS4/XBONE & Runbow and Tumblestone for WiiU?

Yeah. I mean, I would expect GS to get them and not Walmart. Plus there are quite a few PS4 titles that only Amazon seems to have. No Wild Guns at GS?

To continue the shitstorm that is bad decisions from Microsoft...

Scalebound has been cancelled.

I just heard! What a shame! I'm a big fan of Platinum Games, and Scalebound looked very promising. I don't have an Xbox One, but I was really looking forward to it on PC. I've heard some rumours that it had development issues however (I didn't follow the development closely, so I'm not sure), so who knows, maybe there were other reasons than just Microsoft being stupid. In any case, I'm very sad to see it go. :-(

If anyone is interested, I figured I'd mention how I just noticed Super Smash Bros Wii U is on sale at Walmart and Target, $38 and some change for a new copy. I'm thinking of going out and picking up a copy. You can have either store price match their own website if it's not discounted in-store.

I'm not into the Zelda franchise, but I admit that this book looks pretty cool!

That's a pretty nifty slipcover.

I have both preordered.  I may cancel the limited edition because double the price just for the different cover and slipcase doesn't sound worth it.  Plus the regular edition looks better.

Yeah I pre-ordered the normal version for just $20 so a $60 price difference just for a cover variant isn't worth it.

It's snowing! A lot!

I live in California. It doesn't snow here.

embrace it! And DO NOT DRIVE IN IT. people who don't know how to drive in snow and ice are VERY dangerous. not saying you will be bad but others will be.

EDIT: LOL I just noticed when you posted that... its probably all melted by now.

It got down to like 19 degrees over here, I've never seen it get that cold down here.

My pipes froze and everything, I had no clue it was going to get that cold.  Of course, it's back to being like 80 degrees outside.

Yeah, it stayed a day and a night, then it warmed up again. Winter here is usually in the 50s.

Guys, a word of warning. Don't buy a Ford Focus, or a Fiesta, especially the newer ones. I wish I had researched the car more before I bought it. Everyone has transmission problems out of these, and mine is in the shop for the second time over the transmission since buying it this past summer. It's a really faulty design for the automatic that is a computer controlled clutch, and it's just a mess and constantly has problems and they aren't fixing them or building them any differently after years of consumer complaints. Left me stranded the other night. When someone finally gets hurt or killed because of their shoddy engineering, I hope they get the pants sued off of them.

I wish I would have gone with the Elantra I was considering.

I will never buy an American car ever again as long as I live. They are all designed and engineered poorly, and most are prone to problems soon after driving them off the lot new. If you can get an American car up to 100,000 miles without a major repair you should consider yourself very lucky.

I've been buying only Japanese cars since 2004 and with only one exception (a Maxima that needed some moderate engine work at around 140k) they've been nothing but care free outside of routine maintenance and replacements (tires, batteries, oil, fluids, breaks). Specifically I'd recommend Hondas and Toyotas

My Chevy Cobalt is at nearly 150k miles and I've only had 2 repairs.  Replace catalytic converter and replace alternator.  And both happened well after 140k.

My Dodge Challenger is only at around 40-50k, so we'll see.

That's awful that happened to you, but I'm not surprised.

My first car was a Chevy, and it gave me problem after problem since day one. I will never -EVER- buy another American car again.

In other news, I think Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne is going to bump it's way up to my top ten games of all time. I am having so much fun with it. Are the other games in the MT/SMT series this fun? I've played (and enjoyed) both Digital Devil Sagas, so I may start looking to reacquire those so I can play those again.
