The only time I'll pre-order besides what I mentioned above is when I have the money and I know I'll spend it beforehand so I just give it to them before I do.<br /><br />So what games do you play anyway Marc, what consoles ya got?Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-15449183849148638752010-07-27T00:34:43.211-04:002010-07-27T00:34:43.211-04:00It's cool, I totally agree with you.

If I buy used (which is rare, since I don't usually have a proble waiting till the price goes down) I'll get it either on ebay or from Amazon marketplace. The markup at Gamestop is ridiculous, plus half the time they give you a copy way more beat up than what you would have gotten online.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-24770215743371063522010-07-27T00:13:07.156-04:002010-07-27T00:13:07.156-04:00Exactamundo.

I feel the same way, I actually stopped going to Gamestop, I only use them when I wanna pre-order something with an exclusive and then usually sell the exclusive on eBay for like 18 bucks, then I download it from Falisha's profile if she has the same game/pre-order.<br /><br />I just hate how Gamestop will sell you a game for 63 bucks after tax, then buy it back two days later for 30 bucks, then sell it again for 55 bucks. I'd rather trade or buy it used from a site like Gametz.com.

Actually, that's generally why the magazine has always been fairly good...Gamestop pays game companies for exclusives in Game Informer, which of course leads to more people buying GI and more money for GS. It's not really playing fair, I guess, but since it makes them money I'm pretty sure that's the way it'll always be.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-75285006239635092012010-07-26T23:09:24.435-04:002010-07-26T23:09:24.435-04:00It's not bad Marc, if there's something in...It's not bad Marc, if there's something interesting in it that you wanna play they have great news most of the time but I've got some issues where NOTHING in it interested me.

Don't let me down!!!1!11!!! :D <br /><br />I'm def looking forward to next week's Ratings/Rantings... Man, by the end of that post you're not gonna want to look at a comic book for a LOOONG time! 11 books is a daunting task JT! Good luck... You'll need it! :P<br /><br />Oh, btw, I picked up the latest issue of Game Informer and it had a BIG write-up on Dragon Age 2. I basically only looked at the pictures, but I'll probably give it a read sometime tomorrow.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-65191028692635882152010-07-24T05:13:27.223-04:002010-07-24T05:13:27.223-04:00Not a given, but would be possibly easier.

Cultural references that the writers don't understand ftw! ;)<br />England?<br /><br />Of course, it's actually because I'm a man and men have no way to judge whether a woman is interested in him or not ;)<br /><br />Batman Beyond is pretty awesome, though I've only read the first issue of it, and I thought the same of Hawkeye & Mockingbird, and was disappointed with that second issue…<br /><br />I figure I might get the PG book on tpb/thb, but I have the distinct problem that I'm not too fond of her really. And no, her redeeming features are not her 'huge tracts of land'. I don't buy comics to see strippers.Nagashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317832910354675201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-90054293530188832112010-07-24T03:00:54.721-04:002010-07-24T03:00:54.721-04:00X - It's all on me?!

Damn you X!!! But nah, sounds good dude, I'm hoping Judd can keep up the good work with both PG and Red Hood.<br /><br />Lol nah, I don't plan on doing anything this weekend so I can rest up for those. Plus all these comments motivate me even more.<br /><br />Marc - Exactly Marc! The worst thing is... I can't tell if it's trying too hard to be funny, if it's clever and I should be taking these as hints, or if it's just plain bad. Right now I'm thinking its a weird mixture of the three.<br /><br />Thanks Marc.

That's right JT, it's all up to you!!! <br /><br />I don't know about the PG book still... I may wait another month or two before deciding. Once again, I'll be relying heavily on what you say about the next issue or two before I make up my mind on it.<br /><br />11 comics is A LOT of work my man! That's the kind of thing that can burn somebody out! If worse comes to worse you could just be like, "This comic was okay."

Although I haven't got to all my comics yet, I'll say I'm looking forward to reading PG and Batman Beyond. <br /><br />As for Brightest Day, this very well be my last issue, because DC is seriously pissing me off with this.

I...X - Dude that cheeseburger thing was so weird... I'm like really? What...is happening? And yeah PG has been solid, nothing amazing but a good read. I'd say if you can spare the six bucks, I'd pick up the last two issues because I liked them. Plus Booster was in them, which furthers the Booster/PG romance I've been wanting haha.<br /><br />Batman Beyond is really good. Considering you didn't watch the show it may be a little weird for ya but I'd recommend it. And it's a six issue mini buddy. <br /><br />I didn't even count!! Lol man that's alot, and I'm gonna review all 11. Yeah, I'm fly like that. Lol but if you can do full length reviews for a ton of comics, I can do that :P<br /><br />Kello - Thank you for reading dude. Once again, cheese burgers and White rings?! I'm thinking the voice is someone from White Castles!<br /><br />Yeah, I'm also a fan of Katana, so it was cool seeing her, even though it was just her standing there and watching Hush for the most part. <br /><br />The Two-Face story was good because it's about him and not Bats for one, and the feds are coming down on him after all the Black Mask stuff and he has a rat on his team giving them info. Then it really gets good when Bats shows up. Also something happens to his coin, so it's interesting to see how he reacts with no 50/50 chance for his actions.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-15364601826669680472010-07-23T17:03:39.090-04:002010-07-23T17:03:39.090-04:00Thanks for doing these JT.

Cheeseburge...Thanks for doing these JT. Very cool!<br /><br />Cheeseburger? Hahaha, that review really makes me wonder which parts of Brightest Day Tomasi is writing, and which parts Johns is writing.<br /><br />I like Katana's chracter very much, and didn't know she appeared in the Streets book. I would be really interested in knowing what made that Two-Face story so great, since it sounds pretty exciting.Kellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968990603380238489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-29356856040633913402010-07-23T16:04:03.869-04:002010-07-23T16:04:03.869-04:00Hey, I was able to read everything here except for...Hey, I was able to read everything here except for Streets! Sweet! I TOTALLY forgot about Time Masters #1, so I'll have to see if I can score a copy at my CB store. As for the rest, we're def on the same wave-length on BD#6... That was such a waste of time. Sometimes DC really makes me scratch my head...<br /><br />I'm not collecting PG, but maybe I should... You always seem to be giving it solid scores, and it is written by Judd Winick, right? That would be a selling point for me.<br /><br />I see you're still really high on Batman Beyond too. Out of curiosity, is that a mini, or an ongoing? That's another comic you made sound really good... Blast it JT, STOP making everything sound so appealing!!! <br /><br />And 11(!)books on tap for you next week!?! Wow! Are you going to try to do reviews for them all, or are you going to cherry pick?x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.com
