    Makes sense. I can use the razor to shave my neither regions in an effort to further humiliate those who I will tag bag after they lose to my 2001 Detroit Lions.

    A razor so you can slit your wrist after finding out that you just bought the same damn game for the 10th time? :)
    All joking aside, that's...helpful? I guess if you remember to buy the roses during the excitement of buying yet another Madden game, then you can give them to your girl as an early apology that you'll be ignoring her for the next week.

    Maybe it was meant to be this promo?

    TWILIGHT EMO MADDEN KIT:

    Madden 10: So you can cry about the fact that you paid sixty bucks for what is not NFL 2K10.

    Roses: So you can cry about how they pick them by cutting them from their stems.

    Razorblade: So you can cry about how the other player thrashes your ass with a rival team, while you cut "I HATE MYSELF", as you bleed all over your self and that stupid mood ring that you think looks great with your Twilight getup.

    Red Ring of Death.

    The End.

    But is it the GAMER razor? because everyone knows that is the only thing we use to shave our faces, well other than our +4 agility daggers.

    p.s. OH IT IS THE GAMER ONE HURRAY!

    @The_Mechanical_Writer: When I first saw a commercial for "the gamer razor" I thought I was being punked or something. But then it sunk in that it was for athletes. I then thought of how a real *Gamer* commercial would go down and as you can imagine, much lolz ensued.

    "Come slobs, come couch potatoes, gamers rejoice that us 'people' has made a blade for you. It acts as a standard razor, but with one major adjustment... THE ULTRA VAC. Yes, that's right, the ultra vac. Now YOU can shave and get all that pesky Cheeto powder out of your beard at the SAME TIME! A quick 5 minute shave a day will ensure that you can go to the prom with your mom on time this year.

    It's the gamer razor, GET IN THE GAME!!!"

    Those are odd offers.

    Luckily I've got a Micro Center nearby, so I was able to take advantage of their own, miles-better deal. $5 toward the purchase over the weekend and it's only going to cost $37.88 in total after tax.

    I just wish there were more Micro Centers around. That place has some pretty good deals. And it's super-convenient when one of your hard drives takes a dump, to not have to order something online.

    @The_Mechanical_Writer: Don't get me wrong-- I do very much intend to play my copy of Madden while laying in a bed of rose petals (is there any other way?)-- but I plan on using the money I saved to buy some Game Fuel Mountain Dew, Marc Ecko Halo shirts, and maybe some horse armor.

    In reply to Nintendo's DSi Midnight Launch Spectacular
    It's not official, but GoNintendo's podcast had the info that every DSi when you connect to the DS shop will have a 1000 point card/balance uploaded. So you pretty much get a free game/app or two with each and every DS.


    GameStop is also offering 70-80 dollars for DS lites and 50-60 on DS-fats (YMMV) so that's a huge chunk off of the price then and there.

    I'm still trying to figure out if I really want to spend a chunk of my tax rebate on the DSi. My DS' GBA slot barely works and I usually use the PSP for that stuff anyway and the screen on the DSi is SO MUCH better than the phat DS it's ridiculous. I think my touch screen is finally starting to die out on me too. I was playing Meteos and it wasn't registering all of my moves like it used to. It made me sad.

    @Ueziel:Clean out your DS's GBA slot with a q-tip, rubbing alcohol and a little fine grain sandpaper, then trade it in at GS for $50.

    I dunno if anybody knows this yet, but is the DSi charger still a big hog at the surge protector by having that stupid and completely unnecessary block taking up all that space? I HATE electronics that do that. What's the point of having five plugs if you can only use two because your electronics chargers are so fucking selfish?

    Sounds like a fun event to get publicity for a system that hardly needs anymore publicity...when Nintendo start rolling any specific games that actually utilize the DSi functions, so that I can see if there is a reason to care, then maybe I will.
