You probably should have included the titles of the games in the listing's name.

If Best Buy does have something different (which I highly, highly doubt) they certainly didn't attempt to inform consumers of that by any means.
Feel free to update that if you want. I ain't touching it. At a certain point it becomes gratuitous.

Video Game Database Discussion / Penguin Wars - Switch & PS4
« on: August 22, 2018, 10:59:54 pm »
The official release date on this game is somewhat sketchy because they've delayed it a few times so various news sites have stated differing dates. To make it more confusing the PS4 release has a different date from the Switch version so it's even easier to get them mixed up. Even retail sites also have vary on release dates.
There's been a small battle going on in our database entry for Penguin Wars (Switch). It's bounced between August 15 and 30 a couple times and I would like to present some evidence for why 15 is the correct date - at least for the Switch version. I'll start with a direct tweet from the game's publisher.

I'd really like to see Rush.
Otherwise all the bands I would like to see are dead.

I'm not to interested in the book, but bitmap books does make decent stuff. A few years ago I bought Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection from them. Really high quality.

Modern Video Games / Re: Companies releasing their games on 9/11. Is it distasteful in your opinion?
« on: July 30, 2018, 09:52:42 pm »
Offence is taken, not given. Unless the company is directly taunting the victims of the attacks I cannot see why releasing a product would be distasteful just because it shares a famous date.
Bad things happen every day. Are people offended when events share the same date as the sinking of the Lusitania? The invasion of Poland? 1556 Shaanxi earthquake? JFK assassination? Jonestown massacre? Orlando nightclub shooting? The day my dog Scruffy died? No. People don't give a crap about other events recent or in the distant past. If people are offended by something occurring on 9/11 they must be offended by everything.
On a slightly more intellectual point:
It makes me wonder if people would be less offended if the date wasn't in the name of the event? For most catastrophes and acts of terror, the exact date isn't usually represented in the name itself. It's usually the location, what kind of event and year. By having the date of the event be it's defacto name you're more or less forced to be remember it when the date comes around.

The film critic YourMovieSucks has a gaming channel called AdamPlaza that's pretty funny. He mostly releases highlights from his streaming sessions.
I highly recommend his videos on Life is Strange: Before the Storm

What kind of question is that? There's thousands of reasons why people play new or old games. None wrong or right.
