Best Buy's trade in values are much better than Gamestop's, but it took about five times longer to process. In the end the extra money was worth it though. I got 30 for MW2, 30 for Madden 11 and 10 for Just Cause 2, so I was able to buy Black Ops and have money left over.Comment

David Voderhaar is not a happy guy. The design director for Call of Duty: Black Ops' multiplayer is busy dealing with the baffling lag problem in the PC version, so please stop "Twit-bombing" him with video of glitches and exploits.
"I'm not going to talk about it publicly," an obviously pissed Voderhaar said in the Black Ops forums (which are down for maintenance at the moment). "We are disinterested in making mini-celebrities out of douche-bags. You better think twice before you glitch."
Voderhaar is more than a little ticked off at the culture of being the first to glitch or exploit the latest Call of Duty game and the online bragging behind it. "I got Twitbombed today from dozens of people with the same two links," Vonderhaar wrote. "What many of these people want is to be Internet nerd famous. I'm not going to make them famous and you shouldn't either. Internet hysteria from normal people is exactly what they want and that's how many people reacted today. You gave them exactly what they want."
He said if it were his call, he'd banhammer "anyone who thinks he is clever by abusing any glitches. Good thing I don't have the opportunity that often and we actually have a constructive, measured, and well-managed live ops team."
Voderhaar did thank those who "sent in polite, constructive messages without the hysterics." For gltiches that are reproducible issues, Voderhaar promised Treyarch would hotfix or patch "just like we said we would."

I don't think all Best Buy's are participating in game trade-ins yet. But anyway once you walk in, you get trade in stickers from the security guy at the front. Then you go up to the Geek Squad, wait like 40 minutes, sign a couple papers and get your gift card for whatever the games are worth. You can check out the trade in values online. Just google Best Buy game trade in.Comment

Because of the recent Pokemon Lavender town thread on VSN i got the Pokemon fever so I started playing Pokemon Leaf Green, Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon Gold but the cartridge was messed up and wont save anything passed 20 mins so I got Pokemon Heartgold for the DS.
I was about Halfway done with Leaf green when I stopped. I owned Diamond for over a year and only invested about 20 mins into it and Ive never played Pokemon Gold before, at least I dont remember playing it, but I found a cartridge lying around and I decided to try it... thank goodness I did cause its the best Pokemon game ive ever played. The cartridge was corrupted or something so I decided to get the updated version and i couldnt be happier. So basically Ive been playing the Pokemon games during my free time instead of playing console games.
Anyway just a couple of hours ago I became the Pokemon league champion for just the second time ever in my life and it feels awesome. And I dont care what you guys think but these games are the shit and becoming the Pokemon champ is one of the greatest feelings you can get while playing a video game.Comment

So, I'm getting KotOR2 later today and I've been checking out a walkthrough on the Influence options. It's such a deeper game than the first one. It's gonna take more playthroughs, I think, for me to do everything I want to. As for the first one, I beat it on light side this morning, and I'll beat it on dark side sometime after I beat KotOR2.
With KotOR1, I'm trying to figure out how to turn Zaalbaar to the darkside (I think you can) and if it's possible to turn Juhani (I think you can) or Mission (I have no idea).
With KotOR2, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get all the possible Jedi to Jedi (Atton, Mira, Bao Dur, Handmaiden) and make them bad guys. With Mira, you have to be a good guy to get her, and it's mostly good guy options to get Influence with Bao Dur and Handmaiden...
So I'm determining what sequence I need to go through the planets to get Mira and make her bad. I'm thinking I might have to go to Nar Shadaa first. If you're neutral or light she'll join the party. And if she joins me while I'm neutral and then I can still get one of the Sith Prestige-Classes.
Of course, I'll try light side points to, eventually... I'm thinking I want my first guy to be a bad guy just to see what I can and can't get away with.
The best part about Influence with non-Force Sensitive characters (the droids, Mandalore/Canderous) is getting to hear and see stuff that connects to the first game.
I really love these and I wish they'd made a third before going with the MMO. Obsidian could've made it, BioWare, I don't care. Something a little more conclusive than just skipping time forward and erasing all of the characters from these. I mean, in the new one, they clearly existed, but none of them are really as important. I mean, Revan and The Exile are referenced in the MMO, but they're not actually in the action. Whereas in the second one, Revan is referenced even though he's not in it, and then his droids and Canderous are. *Sigh* lol. Still great games.Comment
