Someone’s never been to Nashville.

I’m guessing you’ve never been to Nashville?

Naw man,

Knew this would get play today. If Kesler is in Johansen’s head, he can certainly stay there. He has 4 points in two games. Kesler “getting into his head” shouldn’t be the narrative for last night’s game, but rather Rinne coming back down to earth and Nashville not getting any depth scoring right now.

Don’t let this development ever let you forget that the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25 point lead in the SuperBowl.

Yeah, I’m cutting back on my Gawkering for the next few days.

very much so. i was unemployed for a time a few years a go, and then was employed at ajob that was ..exceedingly unpleasant. and let me tell you, after a day of not screaming for 12 or so hours a day 6 days a week(2 jobs with travel time) diving into my town and just watering flowers was a thing that kept me sane.

Same! Nice to not have to think about anything besides plant arrangements and what villagers to bring in to my village! Loving the new update; I took a break for a while but came back and have been having a great time.

I’d say it’s certainly my most played game ever, but I know how you feel. It’s so positive, it’s nothing but friendship and helping others, but if you want to be on your own in-game, you can just go spend a few hours lost in fishing or gardening. It’s hard to not get a mood bump playing New Leaf. The new content…

Seconded, thirded & fourthed. I’ve played New Leaf every day since launch day 3 1/2 years ago. It’s so relaxing to just kick back, gather stuff, chat with the citizens, and have that be the world for awhile.

They don’t make surplus, that’s why. They make what they predict demand will be. In this case, they underestimated demand caused by Pokemon.

Usually, it isn’t just an issue on hiring more staff. It’s usually that there physical production can only handle so much. They are nowhere as big as Apple who would have no problem opening up a few new giant factories. And that all costs money, which means it raises the cost of production which impacts how much they…

Kick a puppy, you’re a dick. Cheat on your girlfriend? Dick.

Nintendo actually handles its own production and they space out builds for the long haul. Instead of some industries that blow money to temporarily increase output (then layoff/fire extra staff, blow tons on new equipment that goes unused after the big push, etc.), Nintendo stays to the same plan all throughout. That…

I’m not necessarily talking about the 3DS and it’s situation right now (for a hot new item, okay, but for a product that’s about to be replaced, it really doesn’t make a ton of sense), but justthe idea that Nintendo is playing the scarcity game on purpose to create illusions of demand.

I sometimes suspect this myself, but then I wonder which executive is kicking back in his office going, “Yeah we’re missing out on $50 million in revenue, but that product is hot as fuck this year ain’t it?”

The Saints secondary has been doing this for years.

I’m one of those Olds who resist change. I still write checks for my bills/mail them, and I buy physical disks almost exclusively for major AAA releases. I’m one of those 20% of people Peter Moore said mostly play offline (becoming increasingly harder to do) and I rarely care about the opinions of Youtube Let’s…

But most of them still have collectibles or extra things that are hard to master like you said. Like woolly world for example. Almost anyone could “beat” the game but getting all the yarn bundles and flowers makes it much tougher and if you go for all the gems and hearts then it is really hard. Nintendo games still…
