By the time the discount gets good all that'll be left is power rangers and shoes for American girl dolls.

Same thing happend at our KMart. I waited until the 50 - 80% signs were up and saw a lot of empty shelves, dvds that had 29.99 price tags that half price was still double what they retailed for elsewhere, and the most random crap imaginable.

I bought an electric icecream maker for 5 - 10 dollars.

Earlier this morning I found a game cube with a bunch of games 3 n64 controls, 1 3rd party gcn controller, and a bunch of those plug into your tv controller / game combos for 12 bucks.

The games are crap, except for a complete copy of Metroid prime, and the gamecube was dirty and missing the center plastic piece on top that says Nintendo. Right now everything is being stored away, but when I get some time i'm going to completely disassemble and clean it up. The kid took great care of it as all the games had the cases and the instructions, there was nothing sticky on any of the games or consoles, and there was only one scratch on the console. I can't believe the condition it was in to be that dirty.

Outside of that I went to Toys R' Us today to check out the going out of business sale and walked away with a play and charge kit for my xbone as well as a copy of the Zelda collector's edition of monopoly.

I just got back from the Toys R' Us in Asheville and the liquidation is in full swing. The store looks to be already half empty and while the discount signs say up to 30% the majority of toys is 10%. Lego and other construction sets were at 5%, Easter was at 20% and almost gone, some off brand something had a tiny stand up from for 30% off and everything else was 10%.

I was looking for a shot of nostalgia but instead found sadness. It felt like walking through your dead grandmother's house during an estate sale. My kids didn't even seem all that jazzed. Parker got a bike and Chloe got a hand full of crap from the Claires section (yeah Toys R Us has a Claire's section) and they just weren't all that amazed.

I bought a play and charge for my xbone and the Zelda Monopoly game and really didn't save anything. The discounting wasn't enough to keep up with Walmart or Amazon. 

That legal wrangling was how Nintendo ended up with Tetris

Hey, another game added to my steam wishlist.

24.99 is rough for a rehash of a 15 year old game sooooo waiting for Steam sale

yeah, what ever happened to the ufo sighting? Crop circles used to be a thing too

2 play and charge kits for 360
2 360 battery packs
the fractured but whole for ps4

I like it, I took a looong break from the franchise and WW2 was my reentry point so it feels fresh.

If I ever have a third kid or another black eye it'll be Tequila's fault

yup, time to watch the Goonies again

Depressed, that's funny!

I think there's so many things I want to do, with the house, with the kids, at work, with life, and then there's so much i'm doing with all those mentioned things, that i either split my time up in really small chunks or sit around trying to figure out how where to go next.

The collectors editions were awesome looking, I just can bring myself to pay that much

its supposedly going to run Linux so it'll be an insanely expensive emulation machine

I'm still keeping my hopes up but I refuse to pay 300 for a raspberry pi that looks like a vcs

Ni No Kuni 2 - > 1 hour, at the open world looking map - decided to go up and check out that level 50 wyvern - immediately rage quit after being one shotted
Burnout Paradise - Still trying to love it - still just not loving it - played for another 15 minutes
Call of Duty WW2 - Played for 30 minutes, can't stop that stupid train
Sea of Thieves - didn't figure out how the game work till I set the controller down to watch a youtube video, came back just in time to watch a skeleton shoot me in the face
xbox 360 - kids wanted to try out oblivion - none of the rechargeable batteries had a charge, and all the play and charge cords were somewhere else

That was Sunday...

Today I made Spaghetti, took the daughter to cheer, and watched the son play Minecraft. Now i'm going to watch something on Prime or Netflix till I fall asleep. Games weren't good to me yesterday so we're taking some time apart!

That's funny.

I impulse bought a set of silicone ice trays to make those huge ice cubes and was super stoked about it. 2 fit in my Yeti and last the weekend.

Siempre hay que separa las drogas

its true, when my daughter was tiny I bought a small inflatable ball pit that came with enough balls to coat the bottom of it. When I upgraded the speakers in the living room I stored the old subwoofer in her closet.

@BLUEVOODU  IT WORKS!

@BLUEVOODO

same here, is it a permissions thing?

@bluevoodu

I just broke the hour mark in this game and I got to say it's pretty good. The combat is great and the Studio Gibili feel to the animation and story is awesome. I never played the first Ni No Kuni but I heard good things. After I'm done with this one I'll have to go back and revisit the first.

Outside of Secret of Mana theres not be tons recently to scratch that RPG itch so if anyone out there is looking for something Ni No Kuni 2 may be it.

@BLUEVOODU I'm game




not sure it works for me,

My problem is that I just can't get into anything anymore. I've tried playing Burnout Paradise, No No Kuni 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mega Man Legacy collection 1&2, Monster Hunter World, Call of Duty WW2, Secret of Mana, everything else on the snes classic, on top of the entirety of my steam library and I just can't put more than a few hours into any of it.

modern content is what I'm most interested in. Will it be like a steam machine or a home console? 0 games have been announced so who's developing? At this point it seems April is too soon for preorders to start

It looks like you've still got a year on the march 8th deadline

If this comes to fruition the joystick may be getting more love

I've not played a DW game since the ps2. I'm definitely going to revisit the series after this review.

I've heard it long before PUBG was a thing, but I've yet to recall where from in pop culture. A google search is littered with the Vegas bet being about the price of the chicken diner during whenever it was a meat and 2 veggies was 2 bucks, and oh yeah, PUBG. I can't think of one instance (nor was Google of help) where I've seen or heard this in pop culture, although I know it's been there my entire life.

you can do a lot of good things with spinach when chicken is involved.

Google - I mean c'mon, it was added to the Oxford English dictionary as a verb about a decade ago, it seems unnatural typing anything else. I used to like ask jeeves because you could search by actually poising the question but Google stole the idea and made it better. The last straw was the ask toolbar. I only use Bing accidentally until I realize I haven't changed the browser after a fresh windows install.
