Official San Francisco Bay Area CAG List

[Xevious]

Since the Southern CA Thread is up, I figured it might be a good idea to post a thread for the locals of the Bay Area. Maybe we can do some face-to-face trades, make posts of inventory in various local stores, post any local sales, etc.


Send me a PM and I will put your name on the list below (PM's are easier for me to keep track of everyone). I will send you a confirmation when I put your name on the list. Keep in mind that I'm pretty busy and it might take me a few days to get back to you :

List of Folks who are from the Bay Area but they live somewhere else
ph33r m3
Redeema
Zoglog

[ph33r m3]

I'm in SoCal but lived 13 years in San Francisco (inner richmond) more towards Pacific Ocean. Went to George Washington High School. G-Dub.

[62t]

living in hayward right now

[Redeema]

I actually live in Central Cali, but I grew up in San Jose and work in Palo Alto, so I spend a good amount of time here and hit up any stores from P.A. to Gilroy, which is where I find the majority of my deals.

[Xevious]

Orginally I only thought about list current residents of the bay area but if you guys want, I can set up a separate list of Bay Area former residents.

[Oktoberfest]

living in South San Jose

[Over easy]

I'm currently in Davis for school, but I am from San Francisco.

[Kayday]

Hey everybody. I live in Oakland but I drive to Berkeley almost everyday for work so I'm usually there. I love the bay but I might be moving soon, to Las Vegas. I got to all the EB's locally including the ones SJ and Fremont. Well not anymore since the gas price is so high.

[judyjudyjudy]

I'm from San Jose, too :)

[vietgurl]

I go to school at CAL so I guess I'm sorta living in Berkeley.

[PaP3rKuT]

im in oakland

[SOSTrooper]

Berkeley here.

[JohnnyDrama]

I live in Daly City, California

[vdawg5]

Also go to Cal, so I'm in Berkeley most of the time, but I go home to the city (SF) pretty much every weekend, so yeah.

[simgizshad]

I'm from San Jose too :D

[trytej]

A lot of people from around here.

[Xevious]

A lot of people from around here.

Yep...There seems to be more Southern CA CAGs but then again there is more land there so that may have something to do with that.

[soulyogurt]

I'm in San Rafael (Marinwood) and work in Vallejo.

Asianxcore lives somewhere in the region, too.

[Zoglog]

Socal now, but originally from norcal (SanJose/Alamaden). PS Norcal kicks Socal's materialistic Ass. Since I usually visit the old folks for Thanksgiving that means black fridays in norcal ;)

[m0nkeybl1tz]

I'm from Oakland (Piedmont, if you wanna be a dick about it) but going to school in CO. So far, CA is kicking CO's ass. Hard.

[Capn Stabby]

Born and raised in the City.
Went to Lowell, go to CCSF

[humidore]

I'm in San Mateo, go to SF State.

[Freshwillis]

Oakland, represent.

[Viperx116]

San Francisco here. Live kinda near CCSF.

[HERETOSTAY]

I'm another user in Hayward.

[CouRageouS]

Add me to the list too. I can get around when deal hunting sometimes, from down to San Jose to sometimes up to Sac if I go see my buddy up there.

[Orga]

San Jose, live really close to Fry's and Great Mall. Damn, it was really hard not to put "hella" in that sentence. ;)

[kristianator]

i'm up in santa rosa, which is the north bay.

[BrerDan]

Hey guys!

New transplant to the Bay Area fresh from Alabama! I am happy to report I now live in San Jose.

Right now I only own Nintendo systems (not biased--just have limited money and time and love Nintendo games)....I LOVE my DS, but am also seriously considering a PSP.

Later, Y'all

BrerDan

[rudeboie]

I'm in San Jose as well.

[dieless]

I'm in Castro Valley! REPRESENT!

[Oktoberfest]

Socal now, but originally from norcal (SanJose/Alamaden). PS Norcal kicks Socal's materialistic Ass. Since I usually visit the old folks for Thanksgiving that means black fridays in norcal ;)
Hey I'm living in Almaden right now. Where did you used to live? Right now I live by Williams Elementary School...

[m0nkeybl1tz]

Castro: Ah, they're not so bad. They even named a street after me in San Francisco!
Man 2: [whispers in Castro's ear]
Castro: It's full of <what>?!

Yup.

[woolsey11]

Santa Rosa here. 707!

[Xevious]

Yup.

I remember that line. It was from the Simpsons. It was the episode when Burns and Homer visited Cuba

[BaZoOKajOe]

I'm in San Jose right now.......... :-)

formerly of Campbell, Mtn. View, Union City, & Berkeley......(Been all over the Bay)

[ajaxmojo]

I'm living in Campbell. Working in Sunnyvale.

-m-

[dude2003]

dude2003 is from ghetto of oakland

[Andrigaar]

SF during the week to attend SFSU, back to dull suburbs of Martinez on weekends.

[ph33r m3]

Castro gets a bad rap. Really, you don't see that many gay couples or people. At Halloween, that place is crazy. Treat the shit like Mardi Gras.

[trytej]

When I drove buy on a regular Sunday, man that place was packed. I havent gone by there much though.

[utterly_useless_]

whats up wit it man, im from the yay area, too

[Xevious]

whats up wit it man, im from the yay area, too

You have to be specific as to where in the Bay area do you reside; Thats the only way to get on the list. Otherwise, you are living up to your login name.

[Freshwillis]

Who's getting a 360 tomorrow? Whose house am I going to?

[beguile]

I'm from SF and davis.

[praystation]

When I drove buy on a regular Sunday, man that place was packed. I havent gone by there much though.
It sure is a nice place. But ppl are bitching it as if it's the hunters' point.

[Larsin]

i live in San Jose, i hate this effing town.

[Xevious]

I'm from SF and davis.

I put you on the list under the section for people who used to live in the Bay Area.

[Xevious]

i live in San Jose, i hate this effing town.

You are now on the list. I prefer people PM me though if they want to get on the list; Its just easier for me to keep track of people.

[beguile]

I put you on the list under the section for people who used to live in the Bay Area.

Dude i'm still there. LoL. I go to Sf on the weekends sometimes and im in davis.

[j-fever]

live and work in Sunnyvale

[Missingdata]

Hi, Hi

Live in SF but go to school in San Jose!!!

San Jose State!

[Rusty Ghia]

I currently reside in Pleasanton.

But I've lived in San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward, Fremont, and Livermore. I've been all over the Bay Area.

And if you want to be really bad, it's "Hecka," not "Hella."

[magictoilet]

cupertino, ca . around 5-10 min from san jose

[Xevious]

Dude i'm still there. LoL. I go to Sf on the weekends sometimes and im in davis.

Sorry about that. I fixed the mistake.

[jeffreyjrose]

I just accepted an internship with a company in the financial district. I'll be flying out on January 1st and spending 6 months somewhere close by... (if anyone knows of a place to look at housing in that area besides Craigslist, let me know!).

Peace,
Jeff

good luck finding a decent place with a decent price. all the housing out here are overpriced

[jeffreyjrose]

I've noticed that!!! Best place I've found (that looks decent) is $750. That's more than double for what I'm paying now in an overpriced college town.

[asianxcore]

Novato, CA

[Xevious]

Has anyone tried to print out coupons from this thread ( http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74470 ) and used them at your local Best Buys? Did you have a good experience? Which Best Buys did you go to...

Just curious

[praystation]

I tried one of those 10%off 29.9 at colma's bestbuy. (the one near colmas home depot)

[masterchief066]

Union City

[weedofwisdom]

Live: Richmond
Work: Berkeley

Good work setting up this thread, Xevious. God I hate the Hilltop CC.

[Phoenix_Rogue]

Hey dont forget me in "The U.C."...you know, "The Une"....Union City (whatever, we know were cool!)

[Xevious]

Live: Richmond
Work: Berkeley

Good work setting up this thread, Xevious. God I hate the Hilltop CC.

No problem. I just wanted to remind everyone that if you want to get on the list, its better to PM me than to post on this thread. Its just easier for me to keep track of people that way.

The list should be up to date now.

[Murcielago77]

did anyone hit up the marin city best buy at 360 launch? I was wondering if there were campers, and how many. Cus im thinking of camping for the 18th, but if nobody camped out for launch, i wont camp all night, but just like for a few hours

[KiySeph]

I live in San Jose and I work over in Santa Clara. I tend to frequently stop by the Sunnyvale Frys and I love the Bay Area.

I'd like to know also, I need to get some 360 games.

[metalgearray]

I also used one of those at that location and they didn't give me any trouble.

[Murcielago77]

my friend tells me theres 3 people already set up outside the door for tommorow at the milpitas BB

[Xevious]

So what are all of you guys doing for New Years? Is there any places I should check out? I dont feel like paying $$$ for some stupid techno club in the city.

[beguile]

Go hang out in pier in san francisco. Maybe around pier 39 or embarcaro (<--- can't spell). They have a lot of people that just gather there and watch fireworks. Then after 12:00am, everyone leaves and goes to restaurants near the area to eat.

went to pier 39 to watch fireworks for the 2000 new year and it was too crowded. there was not even space for anyone to stand! if you dont like big crowd where you have trouble gasping for air, i dont recommend it

[JohnnyDrama]

Hey dont forget me in "The U.C."...you know, "The Une"....Union City (whatever, we know were cool!)

Union City is great, I lived there for a few years. I rarely go there now.

[smarterray]

from Richmond, school in Davis

[uuaww]

from concord, school in San Luis Obispo

[Over easy]

The Colma BB is getting smart with the $10 off $30 coupons. I tried to use one today with the PS2 2-pack memory cards. The girl talked to some guy, and they didn't take it. They realized that the coupons are from the booklet now. I've used the coupons couple times before though. Maybe I'll try again later with a different coupon. Just a heads up to all those going to Colma's BB.

[d00d]

I'm in San Jose. yea...

[m0nkeybl1tz]

Hey, anyone know how well Amoeba/Rasputin pays for used CDs? How does it compare to, say, wherehouse.com? How about DVDs? Thanks.

[Xevious]

Hey, anyone know how well Amoeba/Rasputin pays for used CDs? How does it compare to, say, wherehouse.com? How about DVDs? Thanks.

I sold a copy of AC/DC's Black in Black (old mastering) for $5 at Amoeba. I had another copy of it; Thats why I sold it.

Since its a popular record, I would think that $5 was on the high end of things.

[Xevious]

Is it me or have anyone here noticed that crime seems to be going up in Oakland. I know a few friends who had their cars broken into recently. One of them had all 4 tires stolen in the middle of the night.

[dude2003]

meh
oakland's the ghetto so it's expected. i had my turtle stolen yesterday. a pet turtle for crying out loud!!! i guess someone broke into the gardening room (which is where my turtle and fish are) and stole my turtle.

[Mospeada_21]

any CAGs in this thread interested in a meet for swaps or trades/sell or buy? if enough people are interested, we can set up a meet and unload games and guides we don't want or have extras of, for stuff we can use or want. how'bout it? please post, thanks!

[expane]

sorry to hear that bro

few years back my apt in SF got broken into and they stole all my DVDs/games and consoles....

my buddy bought a loft in west oakland, BIG Time ghetto area, but his place is nice.

I think they hit a record high for murders in Oakland recently :(

I know that Oakland is ghetto but how are the crime rates there compared to other places?

All I know is that when I worked at EB, I was held up a few times.

[Freshwillis]

You got held up at the one next to Longs?

[Freshwillis]

Btw, it's stupid to say "Oakland is ghetto". Parts of every city are "ghetto". There are plenty of nice areas in Oakland, and around Lake Merritt is really pretty.

[Xevious]

I went into Blockbuster on Shattuck in Berkeley and I saw 2 new copies of Leisure Suit Larry for the Xbox there. I believe they were on the list on that Blockbuster/Gamerush thread. The price on the game said $30 but It could be the wrong price. I didnt really bother pricechecking the game because I was too busy.

If you guys are intersted in the game, then I say go for it.

[Xevious]

I went to Target/El Cerrito today. I saw 2 copies of Brothers-in-Arms Road to Hill 30 for under $10. I also saw a copy of Tom Clancy Ghost 2 for $15.

I didnt pick them up but someone else might be interested. They are on the 2nd floor, back section where the automotive meets the computer accesories area.

damn i want brothers in arms but too damn lazy to go all the way there. oh well i guess i'll just wait.

[Xevious]

I was at Rasputins in Berkeley this afternoon. They have a whole new videogame section. Lots of used games and a few new ones. There are a few new $20 games priced at $18.99. Nothing noteworthy but its still worth looking into if you are in the area.

Oh and the Xbox 360 games are slightly discounted too.

[Xevious]

Went to Target in Albany and saw:

Xbox Spiderman 2 $9.99
Xbox Area 51 $8
Wario Touched $15 (I almost snagged this one but I had too many things in my shopping cart)
Mechassault 1 & 2 - Forgot the price

[Wayne Cabana]

So I poped over to the Virigin Megastore on Market during my lunchbreak today, and what do I see?

Three copies of Phoenix Wright! They're upstairs in the DS section, so snag one if you don't already have this amazing game. $29.99 and loads of fun.

[mrblinG22]

no1 living in fremont?!!?! theres got to be some fremont cags

[jimbojonesjr]

I'm orginally from Santa Cruz, but living in Daly City.

[Chanash]

Has anyone had any luck with the Colma SuperTargets for GOOD clearance games? I have not seen any there over the past month... Same with Circuit City, they have crappy stock there.

[JohnnyDrama]

I'm orginally from Santa Cruz, but living in Daly City.
nice, another CAG in DC, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing though, hehe

[Chanash]

So far it hasnt been any good. I have not got ONE game since I moved to DC for SFSU. There's like one half the stores compared to where I used to live.

[TahoeMax]

Hey all. I'm pretty new here...live in downtown Berkeley. Used to live in Oakland (Rockridge) until I moved in with my girlfriend in July. I'll be sure to keep folks updated on stuff around Berkeley. I scour Rasputin regularly and find plenty of nice deals there. If i pass on any of them, i'll let you guys know about them in case you want them.

[Xevious]

BUMP. I added quite of few names to the list (see 1st post) and I want to welcome them all to the CAG Bay Area Chapter

[toolverine]

no1 living in fremont?!!?! theres got to be some fremont cags

I'm a Fremont CAG, how's it going?

I've got a GC, DS LIte, and a PC gaming rig. I like RPGs and shooters, but I do have an affinity for many other types of games.

[joserjerr]

Cupertino here. Rack one up for the South Bay!

[organicow]

Go ahead and add me to the roster - I'm in SF near Alamo Square. I'm a recent transplant from Atlanta, so be gentle!

[eldad9]

So... I just moved here (working in south of market, near the Sega building) and I need to figure out where I want to live. What areas of town are fun? What should I avoid? etc etc.

hey all. i'm moving from Chicago to South San Francisco in a couple weeks. just wanted to say hello, and see if anyone had anything ridiculously awesome to recommend in the city (stores, favorite restaurants, etc.). I'm also looking for a decent-paying part-time job anywhere that side of the bay - any ideas?

Woah sh*t im from South City too! What school do you go to?(assuming you still go to school)

If you like sushi and stuff go try out Kitaro it's delicious at a very good price.

[rocksolidaudio]

Oh snap! When are you gonna get here?!?!

i'll be there february 1st.

and thanks for the sushi recommend, i will DEFINITELY check it out.

As for shops there is the "Shops at Tanforan" and Serramonte, Chinatown is pretty nice for imports. but other than that there isnt anything sles to do in SSF.

[Aberforth]

Oh yeah that restaurant isn't in South San Francisco, it's more on the north west part.

[jeffreyjrose]

You can take me off the list OP; I'm back in Ohio.

[rocksolidaudio]

yeah, i plan on driving up to san francisco proper when i want to do stuff. or is that a ridiculous thing to plan on? i'm going to be working a lot in SSF (or so i hope).

[chernggoh]

yeah, i plan on driving up to san francisco proper when i want to do stuff. or is that a ridiculous thing to plan on? i'm going to be working a lot in SSF (or so i hope).

SSF isn't too far from SF. It isn't that bad of a drive as long as you aren't going there during rush hour.

Also... Kitaro is in the city. It's up in the richmond district, which is next to Golden Gate Park. Good luck.

[martin8me]

The Metreon is pretty cool, but thats in SF.

[rocksolidaudio]

The Metreon is pretty cool, but thats in SF.

i went there a few weeks back when i was visiting the area. it actually seemed pretty lame to me, though to be fair i didn't see a movie - did i miss something?

Well.... it was fun when i was a little kid:D

now its like a sugar-coated movie theater......

[organicow]

Heads up - anyone in SF looking for a PS3: The BB on Geary has about 6-7 60GBs as of about 20 mins ago.

Just FYI.

[CounterSeal]

Are PS3s sitting on shelves in the Bay Area? Because all I've been hearing are PS3s sitting on shelves in other (more rural) parts of the country.

[imascrub]

i've seen some ps3's at a couple targets and a circuit city once

i haven't been to other stores so i dunno about ebgames/gamestop and bb and others

[organicow]

This is the first time I've seen PS3s in the wild in SF city proper. I spied a single 20GB model at the Colma Target (Junipero Sierra) last week, but as far as i know PS3s are still a rarity in most of the Bay Area. I was suprised to see so many of them at that BB - it is pretty new and right on the main drag of the residential side of town.

[JohnnyDrama]

I saw PS3s for sale at Best Buy a few weeks ago, they were all located at the customer service area. I have yet to see them stocked at the video game section of any store.

[rocksolidaudio]

i know i mentioned it before in passing, but i'm now looking for a part-time job within a half-hour drive (or longer BART ride) of SSF. if anyone knows anything or works somewhere that would consider me, i'd love a little help since i'm new to the area. retail, office work, writing, whatever; i can send along my resume, i have experience with all of those things. i just need to work 20-30 hours a week and make at least $12 an hour to start. thanks guys.

There was a help wanted sign at GS in tanforan, i think, if thats what your looking for ........

yeah, i noticed the one in colma too needs a manager and ASM according to the website. it's just kind of my last resort, since i already spent two years as an ASM at EB. thanks though, it might be what i wind up with anyhow (and then i can hook you up hehe)...

[PleasantOne]

Well, I just got into the Bay Area for an extended stay... over in San Ramon for 6-9 months or so. What are some good places to shop for games around here??? I'm hoping there are some nice little stores that sell imports...?

*edit* Since I see someone mentioning jobs, I'm looking for one myself and I'm curious what sort of money places generally pay around here?? Just retail or such... Thanks :)

Anyone have any luck with the 1.99 deals at Best Buy?

[iPod Wizard]

I'll anyone here has any 360 games from BB clearance, I'll gladly take them off your hands

[buterbals]

The one in pittsburg California had nothing, waste of time, there were a few others roaming around the VG section with nothing in their hands.

[martin8me]

anyone try colma BB?

[imascrub]

not game related but...

say does anybody know where to get funnel cakes around the fremont area? I used to go to Daly City with some friends now and then and would sometimes hang out at the Qcup there, and they had funnel cakes which were quite the yums. Unfortunately the local Qcup here (in the fremont hub) doesn't sell funnel cakes, and I wonder if people even frequent that location often, since I was there today and it was absolutely deserted (that whole area center alley area seems to be....might have been cuz it was a Tues night though lol). Been craving funnel cakes lately and tried to make some of my own recently, but I completely fail at anything dealing with the culinary arts, so I made something terrible and promptly threw it out lol. I caught wind of funnel cakes being sold at the farmer's market on Sunday mornings, but I was wondering if there was a place that sells them regularly?

On another note though, I finally found out where the Gamestop in that Fremont Hub area is... right next to the Hawaiian BBQ place I go to every now and then! Had no idea...

[kristianator]

was that hawaiian place called L&L?

[imascrub]

nope it's Ohana

though I think there's a L&L somewhere down Mowry westbound towards 880

I think all the hawaiian bbq places all serve the same stuff anyway though

[humidore]

I've been noticing these places recently, never been. Are they any good? Is it like teriyaki bbq or something?...not too into that

[imascrub]

they have like a bunch of bbq'd beef/chicken, katsu chicken, grilled fish (mahi? i think), burgers with those various meats, some spam sushi (cooked spam on top of a bit of rice wrapped with seaweed), some noodles with those various meats, etc etc

Their meals come with a large portion of meat (and I mean laarge...~1lb or more of meat), two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni.

I usually get the katsu chicken...i like the katsu sauce. They're pretty good but not really something you'd go eat everyday since I get sick from eating too much mac and meat lol

Can you still get from 580E to 880S? I'm confused to what sections of the Maze are completely missing now.

I came home from Santa Cruz the other day, but after hearing the news, I went the 280 route back.

[slvrdrgn123]

Can someone link me to the freeway explosion please. I can't seem to find it online. Thanks a lot. Which freeway was it?

[vietgurl]

I came home from Santa Cruz the other day, but after hearing the news, I went the 280 route back.

I believe the two ramps that are closed is the one connecting I-80W to I-880S and I-80E to I-580E.

I was out yesterday and even on a Sunday during non-rush hour traffic, traffic going towards that area was really backed up. I don't want to imagine how it was today

[Over easy]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070430/ap_on_re_us/highway_collapse

I passed by it yesterday on the way back to school. It actually looks pretty crazy seeing it from the car.

If I remember correctly, it affects 80 East to 580, coming off the bridge.

[slvrdrgn123]

Thanks a lot Over Easy.

Was just wondering which freeway it was because my sister hasn't come home from Davis in a while so I thought it was the one she goes on.

[asianxcore]

I believe the two ramps that are closed is the one connecting I-80W to I-880S and I-80E to I-580E.


Thanks. I'm going back to Santa Cruz in about 2 weeks, so I'll keep checking the news for updates. Even though it doesn't look like the 580E/880E is affected, I would assume (as you said) traffic would be hell because of all the diverting.

Man, that truck driver fucked it up for everyone. Was there an expected time frame for fixing this section of the freeway?

[dude2003]

it's actually eastbound 80 to 580 and westbound 980 to 80. 880 is affected indirectly and even 92 and 84 are affected as well. westbound 92 was packed coming home after work today.

Yeah I go there once a month, some pretty good deals. Like ICO for $6. But most of the games are REALLY over priced. Final Fantasy VII $70, QTF!

[pcktlnt]

I like the Capitol flea market on weekdays, and the Berryessa Flea Market on weekends. Probably will be going tomorrow, but if it rains, forget it.

[VipFREAK]

Is there anything worth buying at those? Only one I've been to is De Anza because it's close to my grandma's. Happens to be this weekend too.

[mattheus]

I love the one on capital. I've gotten too many good deals there to mention..

Here's a few of the best


Crono Trigger on snes :$1.50
Dreamcast plus 20 (burned) gamed : $5
3 playstation one consoles: $2 each
Sega Saturn w/ nights christmas sampler and 3d control: $8
Harvest Moon n64: $5
Nintendo system w/o cables: $2

...

many many more too...i'l list as i remember

[asianxcore]

totally off topic but I heard the 80/880 connector was fixed

does this mean I finally will be able to get on the 880 from the 580? The access to 880 from 580 was closed last weekend.

[wintersweet]

Hi, everybody, I'm new. I live in Fremont, CA. I think several other people here do too--I wonder if I know any of you from jdorama.com ... or http://aroundfremont.livejournal.com/, which I run. Anyway, this looks like a really useful forum. I have a small budget but always need more games, heh heh. And since I'm just about to finish grad school, maybe I'll actually get a chance to PLAY something this summer.

By the way, on the Hawai'ian BBQ thing, my friends from HI swore to me that L&L was far better than any of the others. I tried L&L, Ohana, and a couple others, and I have to say: they're right. L&L is just tastier and less greasy (though it's still not health food, for sure). I like their mini kalua pork. Tasty.

see you guys Saturday at WonderCon!!!!

[Bavgate]

So, I decided to go to the Brawl tourney to check it out with a few of my friends.

The thing was located in some bar/club. Nothing special to look at on the outside, but inside, they had a few Wii podiums set up.

Go down this ramp and that's where the Brawl action is. There were eight podiums set up, two people at each one. Rounds consisted of four minute battles and the only stage they could play was Battlefield. It wasn't that the only stage unlocked was Battlefield, it's just that Nintendo made it a requirement for that specific stage to be played, only.

Place was kind of crowded, but died down after each round.

I only stuck around for the first ten rounds or so. I saw lots of Peach, Kirby, Fox, Zelda/Sheik.

The only Dedede player I saw was owning face, along with some Olimar players. Ike was doing alright. Pit seems really good. Pokemon Trainer is awesome, also. Someone I know +10'd a Link player with Pokemon Trainer, haha.

Wondercon was so fun. Great pics!

I didn't see the rest of the Cobras on Saturday. When I first got there I saw a couple of the blue Cobra troops walking in front the parking garage a block away. Awesome costumes.

I saw the Brain Age guy walking around during the day. It was pretty funny.

I do have to say that it was a bit sloppy in terms of how it was run this year. Shutting down the reg upstairs and having everyone go to one of the ballrooms downstairs was annoying. Mostly because that area is really heavy on traffic anyway and making it even more congested.....ugh.

It was definitely more crowded this year than it's been in a while.

[CouRageouS]

Soo.. are we having a CAG meetup? They CAGcast talks about one in NY and Japan. The one in NY is going to be at Dave & Busters. We could do the same but to be honest D&B isn't that great. Last time I went there all I did was get drunk and play Mario Kart.

What's your price range? Rent is pretty brutal around Redwood Shores and on the peninsula in general, unless you have roommates lined up or are OK living in a shady area. Around San Jose the rent will be better, but commuting to Redwood Shores will be pretty bad. I think Namco has an office in Santa Clara, which would be a little more manageable.

[mentos888]

i guess from the craigslist postings i've looked at...around 800.00 (with roomies?) or less would be good. how come the commute will be bad? isn't santa clara and san jose in the same vicinity? thanks.

[metaly]

I don't know how rent is around San Jose, but it'll be tough to find a place on the peninsula for $800. (Unless you mean per roommate?) When my friend in Ohio told me his place cost him $400, he laughed when I asked if that was per person. :[

Santa Clara and San Jose are close, but I don't know how bad the commute gets that far south.

I put down my SSBB preorder the other day, at Toys R Us so I can use my Mario Galaxy giftcard. I'm just planning on showing up sometime during the day, so no lines for me.

Why don't you just reserve it somewhere? I'm not sure when stores usually put in their orders, but they usually order enough to fulfill at least the number of preorders they have. Plus at Toys R Us they actually give you a preprinted card specifically for that game, so they seem even less likely to oversell.

[Veronica Mars]

I did, at EB.
How ever, my local store sometimes sell out for the more anticipated games.

[Bavgate]

HIN = Hot Import Nights

It's in San Mateo. It's basically a car show with import models, with an additional concert later on in the night. The Dream is performing that day. Don't really like him, though. Not sure who else is performing that night. Last year, it was like E-40, The Pack, Mistah FAB, and some others that I forgot. Basically, all the Bay Area artists.

Anyway, apparently the line for the GS I reserved at, starts at 8 PM. Don't know if I'll go out that early to line up. I have to see what my friends want to do first. Really isn't that bad chilling in line as long as you have some friends with you, otherwise it's kind of strange. There's usually some major weirdos lining up and it gets really awkward.

[metaly]

8 PM, huh? I hope that means they're doing a midnight launch and aren't expecting people to be waiting in line until the next morning... Actually, does anyone know what day stores are actually selling the game? Having the release date on a Sunday is weird enough. I'm assuming stores will have their shipments by then and will just be holding them.

[KSHLove]

is ssbb going to be sold out in seconds or something? I honestly didn't anticipate it to be this popular. Or maybe I'm just not hyped up about it. I had it pre-ordered at TRU months ago. I don't really care if I get it a week late or something.

[metaly]

I'd only be worried about supply if I hadn't preordered. When I picked up SMG at Toys R Us, they were turning away people who hadn't reserved because they "only had enough for preorders." Whether that means they sold all their non-reserved copies earlier in the day (this was around noon) or if it was because they only ordered enough to fill preorders, I don't know.

I'd guess this will be harder to get than Mario Galaxy because it's the one all the Nintendo kiddies are rabid about.

[KSHLove]

^oh yeah thats right. I got galaxy pre ordered and some people try to come in and buy it but they only had enough to fulfill pre orders. Then again they were offering a $25 gc with it that's a total steal right there. I thought this was the reason why mario galaxy had so many sells.
