You Canadians and your silly metric system.   

It's just silly that water freezes at 0 and not 32.

I know right, everyone should definitely use Kelvin, but nobody listens to me

At least 0 Centigrade doesn't kill you.  Zero Kelvin is scary cold.  -273.15 C? That shit is nuts

Just throw on a light jacket and you'll be fine in 0 Kelvin.

You damn right.  It's better than yours

You know, you really think you know people.  You think folks are good, friendly people.  Hell, you even call them friends.

Then, you play their Mario Maker levels.  Only then, do you realize what kind of sadistic assholes they really are.  I'm looking at you Figherpilot and Pugmire.

Haha. I need to start playing again and play your levels.

W00t. Platinum trophy acquired for Until Dawn. I hated to see some of my favorite characters get massacred, but the over the top death scenes were so damn entertaining.

Now I need to figure out what to play next. Usually, I have a plan of some sort of what to conquer next. But now, I'm kind of at a loss. I talked a bit with Telly and he suggested Dark Cloud 2 so I'll fire that up and see how that goes.

It was the one that had 3 Bowsers that brought this post on.  You are a sick son of a bitch.  It was hell, but I finished it.

for the love of god don't try and go down every single branch for the weapons! but it is a fantastic game and one of the few rpg's that I actually replayed!

Great, I'll keep that in mind. I finished outrunning that giant clown thing with Max, so I'm still at the very, very beginning of it. The first Dark Cloud had so much promise but ended up having so many problems. I think that's typical of Level 5 stuff.

Do you consider buying a game from GameStop as getting it "in the wild"?

To me, that's not too far off from eBaying it. I consider "in the wild" to be at a thrift shop, at a yard sale, Goodwill, or Craigslist.

Your opinion?

[maximo310]

Personally, a majority of their games are close to Ebay prices, although there are quite a number of ds/wii games I've found where it was a lot cheaper compared to ebay's price. One example that I stumbled upon was getting a new copy of SMT Devil Summoner Soul hackers with the original big box for $15.97, and the only listing I see on ebay is for easily double that. Maybe its just a small amount of expections compared to the overall pricing structure for all systems.

So I guess to me,GS is 'in the wild'; I've been buying way more from them in the last few years, since finding any decent games in the wild from other thrift shops has become pretty rare.

Everyone gets their own opinion.  Here's mine. 

In the wild, is not the internet.  If I buy something from someone on here, ebay, nintendoage, or any other website; it's not "in the wild".  Craigslist is a bit of a gray area to me. 
If I stumble across something at a store, on the cheap or not; I'm calling it in the wild.  This includes GameStop and retro game shops.

Short answer: If I hunt there, it's "the wild".

That's just my opinion.  They're like bellybuttons.
