I’m not surprised at all. Gamestop’s primary business is getting you to give them your stuff for store-credit so they can sell you stuff someone else gave them for store-credit.

Because they’re an extremely niche market and don’t end up manufacturing many. Low demand, low supply, high production cost per unit.

Huh... I wonder what studies they did to come to this. Did they include polyamorous couples?

Yup, same issue here.

Getting the sightings option is completely broken, anyway. So much as one Pokestop creeps into the edge of your radar and you can’t see anything around you.

There are other reasons for it, too. Chaining SOS battles is supposed to spawn Pokemon with better IVs and hidden abilities. It’s also the only way to get certain Pokemon to appear. And it’s nice if you just want to farm a lot of the same thing.

I dunno, I’m not enjoying the new system so far.

I imagine it works very well in areas with dense pokestop placement, but players in rural areas (or areas that otherwise had low Ingress numbers submitting portals) are getting messed over pretty bad.

Did Amazon charge tax? If not, great deal, otherwise I’m good with my $370, no tax, free shipping deal.

Nope, Ethan nailed it. You don’t need a new town for the new update, but I imagine a lot of towns are going to be abandoned again now that Pokémon is out.

This was a great read. I remember your contributions to CAG!

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment. Sometimes you just have to explain yourself, even without doing anything wrong. People get hurt feelings even when there’s nothing intentional there. Just the way life goes, I suppose.

Yeah, I’ve heard the “$15 every day” (or $50) variant, but still referring to a tiger. I always just took it as a dumb variant, like the “Frankenstein on channel 9" extension of the birthday song.

“Of all the choices”? I’m not familiar with any other version of the rhyme, but maybe that’s a regional thing...?

I had six panels of space to work with, and subtracted Rick. I automatically subtracted Eugene, Sasha, Rosita and Aaron (since they’re the furthest the show’s core cast). Maggie -> Abraham -> Michonne ->…

Again, though, the JUSTIN BAILEY code isn’t something inserted by the developer. It’s just a legit combination of readable letters (and blank spaces) that fits a working checksum. If you’re patient enough you can come up with more codes just like it using software to test the checksum.

Err...there’s nothing magic about JUSTIN BAILEY. It abides by the game’s checksum system and isn’t even the “ultimate” Metroid code, since you have to go track down the ice beam.

It’s a joke about Fire/Fighting final evolutions.

The world can always use more Monster Hunter!

Considering they’re just Wii Classic Controllers I’m not surprised the cords are short. Although it’s kinda weird to think about. Do they expect the little system to sit right by you?

Apps and video games and the internet have had a huge toll. Toys R Us is one of the few toy stores left! The others have all closed...

I’ve described going to Kmart like a time machine that takes you to scene from Mad Max, or possibly a modernized Fallout title.
