Got a Gamestop gift card from my mom as a late BD present.  I was going to buy Tropico 4, but they were out, so I bought Dragon Age 2.

What a waste of a gift card. Couldn't you have waited until they had it back in stock?

You do realize that there are people who actually like Dragon Age 2, right?

Don't like Dragon Age, but it was cheap since it was used, so I didn't lose anything.  I tried the  Tropico demo, liked it, and bought it off Amazon for half of what Gamestop wanted. 

While I wait for that, it's back to my Pokemon game and the Battle Tower.  My planned team is;

Togekiss (Serene Grace) w/ wide lense
 Extreme Speed (STAB move for those times when I REALLY need to hit first)
 Air Slash (great STAB move)
 Aura Sphere (100% acc and great vs. steel)
 Flamethrower/Heat Wave (great vs. Steel)

Scizor (Technician) w/ focus sash
 Bullet Punch (first-strike and STAB)
 X Scissor/Bug Bite (STAB)
 Brick Break
 Night Slash

Swampert w/Leftovers
 Waterfall (great STAB physical attack)
 Earthquake (ditto, and no, not the poke!)
 Ice Punch (Dragon-killing move)
 Surf (to use against strong Defensive opponents)
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

I have now played both the Xbox 360 and 3DS versions of Sonic Generations.  I love both.

I just realized Swampert would be walled by Shedinja if he's the only one left, so I'm thinking of replacing surf with Crunch.

Also, Tropico 4 Q;  does the game have a sandbox mode in case you don't want to play actual missions?

Yes it does, you can pick from any of the existing maps, as well as generate a new random one.

It plops you onto the island and the only goals you get are those put forth by the population.

Thinking of buying Crysis Warhead, just so I can play Mechwarrior Living Legends.

There is the public beta, it is at 0.5.0 so far, so it is somewhat playable.

They've been talking about Mechwarrior Online/5 for a while, but the website looks like something concrete.

You can lower the intensity of the graphics before each song.

Have you tried 200% visual intensity yet? It's even better.

Okay thanks.  Too bad there's no Pirate Island like in the first one, but the DLC islands all look pretty cool.

Well...some people wants it to go up to 500%.

And for fuck sake, why the hell are songs like You're The Inspiration and Canned Heat so freaking hard? TTFAF, Ready Steady Go, and Devil Went Down To Georgia (GHIII cover) I can understand, but they're soft/jazz songs, dammit. Even this song is easier!
