- The American poeple have spoken and clearly they agree with the Romney. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 7, 12:43
fwiw. Best Buy, Radio Shack, Kmart, and Old Navy have black friday ad listings on the interwebs. many on their own sites even. - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:36 18
- blackfriday.com does an excellent job of compiling all deals and send out good email alerts if you sign up. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 12:43 1
  - and they have the ads for bestbuy, kmart, staples, and others already, from what i can tell -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:46
- Off hand do you know where Best Buy's ad can be found? -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 12:40 2
  - ohh, go to the following link -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:44
  - the full add, no. the link i posted below is only the gaming stuff. slickdeals or fatwallet may have the ads, but usually - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:42
- Dead Island for $8? Sold..err..added to my list. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 12:40 2
  - I got well over a hundred hours of playtime with that game. Well well worth it. -- nm - Jovian Nov 7, 12:43 1
    - Good to know. I think Remlik liked it as well. It's been on my list for a while and I can't pass it up for $8. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 12:44
- here is the cheapassgamer thread with all the BF listings so far -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:40
- note for spamlet/others. forza horizon will be $35 at best buy, i would guess other retailers might have the same price. - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:39 7
  - I'm interested in Forza 4 but I don't think Horizon is what I like in a racing game. I need to check the demo and reviews. - Krusty Nov 7, 12:42 2
    - max could probably fill us in. where is max? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:42 1
      - I wrote up a guide to Horizon's DLC and other benefits at the forums. - Max Nov 7, 12:47
  - I haven't played the demo yet. Is it good/ -- nm - spamlet Nov 7, 12:40 3
    - yes, i think. i mean its a totally different type of game (at least in the demo) everything is set in one large "state" - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:41 2
      - That's what I thought. I'll probably pass on it and try and grab Forza 4 on sale somewhere. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 12:43 1
        
        i am guessing 4 will be on sale many places as well. - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:44

- Occuppy WS should be credited for bringing this issue to the fore... - ThunderProfit Nov 7, 12:39
- He and McConnell both issued statement5s last night that pretty much indicate they'll continue to obstruct until all their demands are met. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 12:37 15
  - a new election next week? - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 7, 12:47
  - And in the next breath they say it will take compromise to resolve this (which of course only means democrats complying with their demands). -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 12:46 1
    - Uh-huh...I want the Dems to remind them that they said they were ready to bipartisan at every vote. - the liiouQ Nov 7, 12:50
  - and their demands are that Obama not do anything he wants to accomplish - znufrii Nov 7, 12:43

        The tax system is so bloated and inefficient but there is no way it's getting fixed unless everything goes. -- nm - spamlet Nov 7, 12:44 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Of course fixing the Code won't fix all of the problems. But neither would any one issue. - spamlet Nov 7, 12:48 1

- �Gluten sensitivity is basically a bit unknown,� Guandalini says. �It�s everything that is not wheat allergy or celiac disease, and yet these -- (link) - mara Nov 7, 12:45
- I don't know what basis you'd say Celiac Disease isn't an allergy. It's an auto-immune response to the presence of gluten. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 12:37
- For punishment? -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 7, 12:34

  - His cat emailed him. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 7, 12:36 1
    - cats are smart :) -- nm - Casino JenBro Nov 7, 12:41
- This was the good thing about having a landline. We could call the house to see if the answering machine picked up to tell if our power was back. -- nm - spamlet Nov 7, 12:23 2
  - it's how I found out. :) and then my buddy told me he saw lights on -- nm - The Man With The Golden CQ Nov 7, 12:29 1

- I was so enthralled by the election I forgot to check on my parents to see if they finally got it back. -- nm - Max Nov 7, 12:20 5

    - why is it flickering again? -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 12:30 2
      - Not sure. It's not anything like before but with the area already weakend things may not do well in this weather. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 12:32 1
        
        is it raining again for you already? wow. I thought that was later. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 12:36

  - do you remember when the guy used to come in with his little rolling cart and do a whole spiel to sell to the larger theatres? - Deev Another Day Nov 7, 12:32 1

  - The one I go to has the stand just outside the tickettakers which is just beyond the restroom. - the liiouQ Nov 7, 12:30

Truman, in Halo 4, in some of the games, the kill points are worth different amounts. Like in Regicide, whoever has the lead is the 'king' and..... - volnelk Nov 7, 12:02 3
- yeah that is true, though the scores are capped at certain amounts for things like that. so it makes sense that they would use a points system across - tRuMaN Nov 7, 12:23
- The scoring is more like Big Team? -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 7, 12:04 1
  - Not sure. It's just point based now so that in some games, it's just a race to get kills, like before but in some certain kills are worth more - volnelk Nov 7, 12:09
