ok. no real point to this post other than i have a bunch of pre order junk arriving in the next couple weeks and i am excited. unfortunately i bought for myself pretty much everything i want and now my loved ones are screwed when it comes time to actually get me something for the holidays. f them. waiting is for chumps.

stuff i got coming

Guitar Hero 2 Bundle with Guitar ships nov 7
Xbox 360 HD DVD Player ships nov 7 not available anymore i was only of the lucky ones to get a pre-order w00t!!
Nintendo Wii ships nov 19 also lucky pre-order


now if i can just get a ps3 pre-order it would be a complete trifecta tho i have no illusions of being able to do so. as far as the wii and hd dvd pre order i guess it helps my *job* is to sit around the internet all day reading games related stuff.

unfortuantely i will be in montreal when most of this stuff hits. sigh.

Before clicking I thought this would be about shops starting to put their xmas decoration by early November. Because they already are.

I once tried to have a policy where any store that put up Xmas decorations before December (including music) would be one that I wouldn't shop at.

Unfortunately I had nowhere to buy anything :(

Well, here in Germany christmas starts in octobre. Germans are quite fanatic about it. :-)

But I really don't know how the people working in the shops cope with all that christmas music. I'd go insane, if I weren't already.

And what will bring you to my neighborhood, if I may ask?

flipkin will be heading to the 2006 Montreal International Game Summit, as will I.

If EA is there, tell them to give us an interview with Will Wright regarding Spore!

so both the hd dvd player and GH II are waiting for me at my house. oh oh oh. i need to get the f outta montreal.

Right now I'm going to try to get:

*Yggdra Union
*Final Fantasy V Advance
*Final Fantasy VI Advance

... but there's a huge DVD sale going on at my favorite online retailer, and that's $140 worth of movies... WHY MUST I DECIDE BETWEEN BOTH ADDICTIONS?!
