True, which is all that nintendo pedals to their fans at this point. Nostalgia only thing keeping them going.
I'm usually right there with them, but this ones a little too much for me. I love pokemon, but they've changed the mechanics (for the better) so much since the original games. Real hard to get me to part with $10 for games I know they've had updated versions of for over a decade that they could be re-releasing as well (or instead of).

 
Nostalgia is a powerful drug. I remember when I first joined CAG I went and bought a bunch of old stuff, a genesis, dreamcast, etc. etc. but ended up selling it all again when I realized I wasn't really playing any of it. It is nice having PSN and Virtual Console and emulators sometimes just to scratch the itch when needed. 

 
Wishing I hadn't asked about the pop figures at best buy. Been standing here for 30 minutes cause no one can figure it out. Cutting in to my breakfast time.
 
So nobody has actually played Lego Dimensions yet have they?

I talked to my wife to see what my kid had mentioned about the game to my wife. He said he wanted it but only if it had story mode. In other words, if it is like free play on the regular Lego games and doesn't have cut scenes with some overall story he isn't interested (yes, this does make me wonder if my wife slept with the mail man).

I also wonder if the base is PS3 and PS4 compatible. I know you would need a different disc, but I assume I will be able to find one of those later. If I can double dip on the game it would make me very happy.

I already have the cartwheel code added and am looking into this wish list thing for stacking purposes.
From what I've read it has a story mode, because it actively makes you stop and build things with the included sets for it. So it should just be a more interactive version of the regular games.

Don't know anything about compatibility of the bases unfortunately, but I assume it's all just USB plug-n-play universally compatible since all the extra sets and figures are platform independent.

I saw a bunch at my local BB behind the customer service counter yesterday when I traded in FO4. Trades have been smoother but took a while to get help. Some lady was returning/exchanging a soundbar which apparently required two BB reps. The two GeekSquad guys were doing nothing.

Once the one girl finished up with the lady and her sound bar she came over to help me. You could tell she had enough of the PIA.

Not sure on the base working with PS3 or not, but it appears the game has a story mode. At least for the level packs theres definitely one. You go through the levels like a normal lego game for the Portal 2 pack, and the Back to the Future one. Kinda Funny Vid below. If you wanna wait a day and see how the main game works, I can stream it tonight if y'all want. Gonna pick this up and my copy of battlefront on the way home. No fancy lego building videos though, I don't have a webcam and fancy OBS setup.

What's the problem with it. I plan on stopping there after work for battlefront, the star wars figure and the $40 ps+...plus setting up a GCU membership, and I hate dealing with store issues.
 
guardian owl hit me up if ya need any help in Dragon's Crown. I love that game

also almost done with blops 3. just collectibles, realistic finish up and then decorations ;)

iv been on a cod kick the last 2-3 weeks. call of duty is my favorite game :)

I'd definitely catch them if they came to Milwaukee. Nothing I'd travel anywhere to see. I'm still going to try to snag one of those Pod vinyls on black Friday.
http://modern-vinyl.com/2015/10/20/black-friday-2015-weens-the-pod-getting-reissued/
That Pod vinyl will probably sell out quickly since there's only 1500 copies. I was boxing up some stuff last month and found my first pressings of Shinola Vol. 1 and Quebec on vinyl still sealed.

Ween sounds great on vinyl and The Pod is great album.

Yea I need to talk to my record stores to see their list of what they're getting in. I'm hoping the few copies that'll be floating around here aren't to sought out by the Milwaukee folk.

I hope you score a copy because its a gem. Also clear vinyl makes it a must for any Ween vinyl collector. I'm curious on how they are picking which record stores are getting copies. Let me know if you get one.

 
So I did the Wish List thing. I do not see any 10% off code anywhere. What am I missing?
sometimes you have to do it twice. once it works it'll show up in the middle bottom of the main screen.

edit - and make sure you're using the target kids wish list app and not one of the other target phone apps (target.com or cartwheel). dunno if they have wishlists too, but that confused me initially because why in the world would they need _another_ app???

I am using the kid wish list one. I created wish lists already for both kids and no 10% off coupon.

Fix this shit Zimm!

I've never gone to a RSD or a Black-Friday RSD, but I know its up to the store to decide what special releases they want to order for their store. They probably ask for a certain quantity, and maybe get whatever can be divided out to them. I assume the local shops to where it's getting pressed at will get first dibs though, and also any of the bigger named record stores
 
bums, crazy

That Cash album looks great, got the live from prague soviet red back on normal RSD.

oh shit...

http://www.recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/8136

Looks awesome.
Yea there's a few I'm looking out for, I'll take a look at the list again and edit this comment. I know my gf wants the garbage reissue.

It all depends on the pricing but ween and outkast-stankonia are the ones I want the most. Also possibly buzzcocks, clash, dmb (probably way too expensive), felt, high fidelity ost, cash, bb king

Text GAMER to 827438 for another 10% off toys to life games at target
maybe just do this instead. otherwise try closing the app and opening it back up. it was wonky when sd first got their hands on it but I thought it had started working better.

 
Surely some of you here are happy about this:

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I sold my PS3 copy of VC without ever playing it. I'd definitely buy the remaster.
DISLIKE for selling without playing. LIKEx10 for rebuying.



valkyria chronicles looks boring as hell. is it boring as hell?



You platted fuck ing Omega Quintet and Bloodbowl, step back and recognize a worthwhile strategy/rpg.

I don't collect vinyl anymore since I don't have a turntable. There's some great albums in that list.

CrazyD I'm surprised I didn't hear you mentioning that Dave Matthews Band 4LP box set. Figured since your a Dave fan you'd want that set.

Vinyl is a great thing to collect but boy can it get out of control very fast.

I genuinely have no idea if it's boring as hell or not, that's why I'm asking. I loaded up a video on youtube that was the first full fledged fight in the game (2+ hours in to it) and it looked slower moving than oq and bloodbowl combined. Maybe it's awesome, tons of people seem to like it.

 
Nothing more demoralizing than getting killed by someone named "weinerintoaster"
when I played zat horde last night there was a dude on my team who kept wading in to hordes of zombies and dropping explosives at his feet. he was of course named Look_At_Mike_Hawk.

Apparently what I get for not having enough kids. I added a third one named test and it popped up.

Zimm, the coupon only works for the starter pack and not the add-ons, correct?
Correct, starter packs only. No add-ons.

Just got back from the store with my copy. The extra coupons didn't stack with each other, but I was able to use the Cartwheel with the Wish List coupon to bring the price down to $54.99. I scanned my Wish List one first, so maybe if you scan the text/Passbook coupon first you'll have better luck. But the pretty knowledgable check-out lady told me you can only use one of those mobile variety coupons at a time.

Are you still hyped if they removed the strategy elements for the new game (not the remaster) to make it more like an RPG?

I'm still excited for it and really hope Sega brings it over here, but I could see that being disappointing to people.

So what you're telling me is to try to find the physical coupon in one of those toy books and sneak it in that way?

 
IGN thought the season finale for Telltale's GoT was meh: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/11/17/game-of-thrones-episode-6-the-ice-dragon-review

6.7/10

We knew this wasn’t going to end in happiness for the Forresters - if it had, I’d be crying foul that it didn’t feel like Game of Thrones at all. The problem is that sense of inevitability mixes with the lack of resolution for major parts of the plot in an unappealing way. Most of what this uneven season finale has to offer is found in a few strong moments and continued hope for answers to questions in a hypothetical season 2.
Destructoid also put up their review: http://www.destructoid.com/review-game-of-thrones-a-telltale-game-series-the-ice-dragon-321055.phtml

7/10

In a way, I'm almost pleased the story finishes the way it does. In Iron From Ice, I noted the similarities between the Forrester clan and the more famous Starks. I realize now that I modeled my Forresters' behavior after them as well. I fought with honor and I did the right thing, though it eventually spelled my own doom. I can take solace in the moral victory.
The Ice Dragon caps off a year of fretting and worrying. Telltale's take on Game of Thrones has been spot-on in that regard. Now that it's over it's almost a relief, even with a bleak end.

That probably won't work either, unless the cashier is clueless and does a manual override for what the amount off would have been. Register gave a loud honk when she scanned the second coupon.

I am going to go for the Hail Mary and try a price match to Walmart, the Wish List coupon, and the Cartwheel coupon. Based on my experience with the PSTV bundle and looking back at the Cartwheel fine print, it should work. If it does, it would be just under $50 by my calculations.

I am not sure why we do not have a red card either, but I don't want to bother signing up for one (maybe I just answered my own question).

Way to cut into your PS4 fund.

Ah okay, that kinda sucks. I'll just stick with the cartwheel + wishlist then.

 
I pre-ordered SW Battlefront before the pop figure came up. E-mailed but they said I'd have to cancel the order and they could only ship the POP figure. I used a GC so I didn't want to cancel. 

Wondering if I should try and secure one in store upon pickup anyway. I'm also using the free bluetooth speaker coupon so we'll see I guess. Maybe if they are out and about when I pickup I'll give it a go.

Would love the dave, but I could see it going for some ridiculous price like $100 or something.
