Ubisoft's Q1 PC share is misleading because of carryover inventory from Q3 LY, they own their own PC online store and the fact that they didn't release a title. Their sales aren't really 23% PC. For the full prior year their sales were 12% PC.  Another business topic you guys butchered two...

I don't think the amiibo situation is getting better any time soon. Manufacturing action figures and managing the global distribution is way more complicated than you think it is. Yes, there are things you can do to expedite the process, but those are only short term fixes when you have a...

Just ordered the 2 Disk Blu-ray + Figure for $14.99 + tax shipped through the mobile site.

Man. Wish I had seen this an hour ago. I just paid $23 for a used Hastings copy.

CheapyD's comics section was hilarious. I want a CheapyD comedy section every podcast. I was laughing during the entire segment.
