What was your favorite SantaCon moment, New Yorkers? -- (link) - znufrii Nov 21, 12:20 2

Wow! The Wii U has a $299 bundle in the UK that includes THREE games plus a Mario Hat. -- (link) - Qale Nov 21, 12:10 16
- Well, it's 299 in UK/Euro dollars. Whatever that is in US dollars. -- nm - Inigo Nov 21, 12:35 2
  - Google says $483. -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 12:40 1
    - (Which doesn't necessarily mean anything, UK-US price comparisons are weird.) -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 12:47
- You'd look totally cray-cray in that hat. -- nm - Trish Nov 21, 12:23
- "But she's got a new hat!" -- nm - Mop on Chrome on iOS Nov 21, 12:22

        Yeah, N's taken their sweet time getting software to sell U's. They focused on 3DS too intensively. But the aggressive bundle is a great move. -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 12:34 2
        
        Software isn't even their biggest problem. (Even the software in this bundle is 2 Mario games, and a Mario expansion pretending to be a game.) - Ender Nov 21, 12:37 1
        
        Super Luigi U really is a full fledged game. If their hardware was such a mistake, why did Xbox and PS both copy it with Glass and within the Shock4? - Qale Nov 21, 12:41
      - Bricking systems and meh reviews on the launch titles that didn't jump to 2014. -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 12:29 1

I sent out a request for an hour-long meeting and noted in the request that we could maybe trim to 45 minutes if we skipped pleasantries. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 21, 12:06 3

- Looks like the incoming flight left 50 minutes late -- nm - ty97 Nov 21, 11:48 2
  - Thanks for checking. I gotta stop flying Alaska. 3 delays in 4 flights in the last month. - Mop on Chrome on iOS Nov 21, 11:56 1
    - You know what else Alaska does? If they have mechanical difficulties and they have to bring a new plane in for you, if there's another plane taking - Trish Nov 21, 12:56
- Because planes fly all day and once they get behind, it can be hard to make up time. - ty97 Nov 21, 11:44

  - college town... -- nm - decline Nov 21, 12:22 3
    - Technically, we're a two-college town, but they're small universities. It's depressing how little impact they have on the city, really. -- nm - mara Nov 21, 12:24 2
      - well, get those kids out and drinking! -- nm - decline Nov 21, 12:26 1
        
        Yeah, an ad campaign is definitely in order! -- nm - mara Nov 21, 12:31
