Twittercraft – Twitter while in World of WarcraftThis week we’ve got two questions for ya, what console/hand-held system do you bring on vacations and do you go out and buy any games before you head on vacation?
GameStop did NOT sell “reserved copies”. They were selling it to everyone. The Herald Square GameStop in NYC had a BARKER telling all passerby, “We’re selling Modern Warfare 2 NOW! Come in and buy it!” like one of those peep show barkers.
Also, it wasn’t because of Best Buy. It was because of “mom and pop” sellers (non-chain stores) were breaking the street day days earlier than GameStop.

One more comment: I played the original Marble Madness in the arcade, and it… was…. HARD. I never got past the second level, with those stupid air vents that pushed your marble around.
There was in the first level a shortcut with extremely thin paths and steep curves. Tried it once, couldn’t do it.
You also never mention the acid pools, the way a little broom would come and sweep away your shattered ball when you fell too high, the oscillator your ball rode, and so forth.
Still and all, it’s the best game I don’t like playing.
