@Turf, I had no idea there was even a Jeopardy for the WiiU until I seen it in your items down there.

I didn't know it either until I saw it in a clearance bin at Hastings.  It was $3 or $5 new or something like that. 

Have you played it yet?

Nah.  That'll be one of those that comes out when The Boy isn't around.  There's no way I can get him to leave me alone long enough to do trivia. 

That pin you were talking about is a Smash Bros coin.  Mine is coming with my preorder of the WiiU version from Best Buy.  I don't know where those silly Canadians are getting them.

Well, that sucks for me because I pre ordered from Game Stop  :( Prob no pin for me.

It was given to the first 35 people to attend the Smash-Fest events at Best Buy, though they didn't make them in time so they had to ship it a few days late. I was first in line, I really wanted my damn coin :P We don't have them with a simple pre-order, so it's very limited in here as far as I know.

I went to the host Best Buy at 7:30 in the morning, the store didn't open before 9:00, and the event didn't start before noon. Can you guess I wanted the loot? Got other cool stuff too, like stickers, lanyards and buttons.

Any fans of RPGs should totally play Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. I just finished it and had a fantastic time from start to finish.

After hearing a lot of positive feedback for the show "Orange is the New Black", I went ahead and bought Season # 1 of it on Blu Ray.

Anyone here seen any of it and liked/disliked it?

I'll be starting completely from scratch; haven't seen a single episode of it yet...

...next up on my list of "Friends that know me & my tastes pretty well and have been hounding me to get my ass in gear to watch" series = Breaking Bad (again - never saw a single episode).

Oh, it airs on Wednesdays?

What channel is it on?

Also (since I just bought season # 1 -and- since I didn't see any other seasons for sale)...I'm assuming that it's only season # 2 that's currently airing / are you a fan of the show?

Orange is the New Black is a Netflix Original Program, Both Season 1 and 2 are available for streaming. They release a whole season at once so you dont have to wait each week to see the next episode 

Oh and the show is Awesome!!!!!

So, is it just the 1st season that's available to buy a physical Blu-Ray copy of, atm?

What kind of show is Orange - comedy or drama?  I've started to watch it many times, but not really sure what to be in the mood for.  :P

And Breaking Bad is certainly good, but I didn't love it as much as most people seem to.  I'm perfectly fine with my one watch of it & never seeing it again, whereas my favorite drama series (Sopranos - which I'm rewatching now thanks to Amazon's streaming, Mad Men & Lost) I either will or already have rewatched.

It's a drama. My wife and I just finished season 1.  It's good stuff.

I definitely don't have that problem with movies/tv shows.  I only buy things I *really, really* love.  Otherwise, I watch it once on a streaming service & forget it.  :)
