    Black Friday 2018 - The Big Thread | See You Next Year!

    Got an early start since the consoles are already on sale. I was going to order the Xbox from Amazon but they are not offering 1-day shipping and I didn't want to sit at home and wait for a delivery on Black Friday: @BestBuy w/ In-Store pickup today -Xbox One X 1TB (non-bundle): $399...

    Black Friday 2018 - The Big Thread | See You Next Year!

    I have a feeling I will be doing the same thing this year I did last year: stay up all night trying to snag deals off of Amazon, I just hope they price match some of the game deals. Some of those $12 games at Wal-Mart are enticing just not enough to brave the un-vaccinated scalpers and their...

    CAGcast #307: The Real Geek Squad

    Regarding one-sided sports games: there was a high school in my district that was a "special" school for kids with disabilities such as kids that were deaf. They had a football team that we played every year, it was the one guaranteed win of the year where the coach would have to yell at our...

    Wii U - General Discussion Thread

    No, there's no option to install disc games to a hard drive. Hopefully, Nintendo will add that in the future as I find the disc drive is rather noisy. Thankfully, load times have been nowhere near as bad as PS3 games were/are.

    Wii U - General Discussion Thread

    Ambassador status was a freebie for early buyers of the 3DS that bought one prior to the big price drop. It gave those people (me) several free digital games. I don't see the same thing happening for the Wii U, it's far too successful to need it. I've already bought 7 games since launch...

    Wii U - General Discussion Thread

    Wow, I bought Just Dance 4 through the eShop, 15GB download and a 2 hour install after it downloaded. I wonder if they'll figure out a preload system like Steam does for future titles? Absolutely love that the Gamepad provides all the download/install statistics though, leaves the TV free for...

    PART 2 !! : Important WiiU remote question! (Not about Wii Motion Plus)

    I bought a blue box black wii mote last week and it doesn't have the external sync button. Doesn't bother me though, I use them unwrapped so it's easy enough to take the battery cover off, plus the batteries have to be taken out for replacement/charging anyways.

    Wii U-Call of Duty Black Ops 2

    The small community is really holding this game back, there were only 2 lobbies with anyone really in them when I was on last night: Free-For-All and Domination. I got enough kills to be in the middle of the rankings after joining in the last minute of a round. Definitely some kids playing this...

    Wii U-Mass Effect 3

    I picked this up along with Blops2. My only experience with ME1&2 was playing the first game up to the point that you reach the Citadel at which point I got bored running around doing fetch/talk quests and stopped playing. I completed the first mission on Mars last night and so far am loving...

    Wii U - General Discussion Thread

    Tried out BlOps2, definitely need the pro controller, the Gamepad is just too distracting to use with it. Fired up Netflix and watching a movie on the Gamepad now while using the TV for the PC. So glad I bought this rather than an iPad. The only downside so far has been the noise of the disc...
