I would pre-order them if Kroger's would freaking call me back already! DX

I went in for a background check/drug testing, and when I was unable to take the overnight stocking position, they had me resubmit an application.  So I'm fairly certain they want to hire me, but they just haven't called me in for orientation/training yet.

As for the games, I'd really like to know the version differences between X and Y before I pre-order a copy.

I am so far behind on video game news it isn't even funny.

Well I've been posting my info as if you have no idea what's going on, so there's a bit of good news for you. ;)

Some news I found out recently, that I'd like everyone to be warned of: If you haven't pre-ordered Pokemon X/Y, OR Zelda: Link Between Worlds, I suggest you do so. According to the guy at GameStop, there have been some new policies set in place by the GameStop heads. According to their graphs, charts, and statistics, few people who don't pre-order a game walk in and purchase it. That being said, they'll only be shipped between 4 and 8 copies of the game along with a copy for every pre-order. This applies only to 3DS games- he said he couldn't stress that enough. So pre-order anything you plan on getting for the 3DS.

Pretty much spot on, man. :D ...Except...

I'd actually be elated if he did, because I really do want to continue to play Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Left4Dead 3, Half-life 3, and Portal 3, as well as Call of Duty games, and the Naruto Ninja Storm series.

You assume Valve knows how to count to three. :P

In case anyone didn't know, Valve actually read the signs and jumped ship on Microsoft. As the Microsoft news got worse and worse (see next paragraph for that), Valve decided that their exclusiveness to Xbox would come to a close. Not renewing their contract, we'll have Left 4 Dead on not just Xbox and PS4, but the Wii-U! Portal 3 will also be on the Wii-U! I decided that I'm getting both a Wii-U and a PS4. I really like the way Playstation is looking right now, which is something I never thought I'd say. I'll also get to play all the games I missed out on by grabbing them off the PSmarket. With Microsoft paying off Spike to not show either Sony or Nintendo's E3, my support for the Xbox is at its end. Now all we have left to worry about is Bethesda Softworks, and according to an interview with Pete Hines, VP of PR at Bethesda, his attitude on releasing for the Wii-U is "Never say never".

So the Xbox gets worse and worse. News arose not too long ago about how you could possible lose ALL of your games. Here's how it works. Your games are tied to your Xbox live account, saved on a cloud. So not only do you have to be connected to the internet at all times to play your games, but if your Xbox live account gets banned for any reason, you lose all of your games. That's it. You have to buy them all again. Not only that, but you can't sell your Xbox! It has a PIN much like any computer program you install, so nobody else will ever be able to play your Xbox. As far as Microsoft is concerned, it isn't your property to sell. This is a HUGE turn-off to gamer's everywhere. It really didn't help the fact that you can't even buy or trade used games. You can't even share them with your friends, which Sony responded to in this half-minute commercial, which got so many views in its first three days that it astonished Sony.

My holiday wishlist will consist of a single solitary Playstation 4. I'm saving up for a Wii-U by myself. I'm 99% sure that they'll release a Smash bros bundle next year that includes the game and some other neat stuff. I'll wait until then for the Wii-U. As for the PS4, I'm super excited for Elder Scrolls Online, which was announced to be not just for PC, but for the Xbox One and the PS4! If you want to get hyped for it, watch some of the E3 videos:
Trailer, Gameplay trailer, Stage demo.

Super excited for 2014 gaming.

Noivern's typing is Dragon/Flying.  It's a dragon bat.

Oh, hey, The 6th Gen's Pidgey evolves into a Fire type. :D

...I lost... XD

Of course, I've heard very few stories of that on Miiverse, despite the predictions. ...Then again, I don't own a Wii U yet, but hey, I'm getting one for The Wind Waker. I'll let you guys know if that happens. ;D
