    I know, but Nothing has really happened to me that sucks, other than Not getting the amiibo i wanted :(
    
    I'm trying not to turn it into "This week, ya know whats Bullshit" Kind of hard to do actually. DO you have any suggestions?

      I'd be ok with "this week, ya know what's bullshit?" If it meant a bit more variety. Any particular reason you're angling away from that?

      I mean heck It doesn't even have to be super current. It could be like the Last Week Tonight of video games or something.

        It's just Greg's personal rant column. He had nothing else to rant about. Maybe it should be more than just Greg since amiibos is his thing

      Doesn't have to be something that happened to you recently, could be something that just annoys you in general, or happened in the past or whatever.

  I for one am glad that STS is back! Now we just need a few Babe Hunts and a When I Am King article.

  I want to get Mega Man, and Link and Toon Link, I seen Link at Walmart but now they don't have em. Didn't even see them have a place for Mega Man, maybe they sold out from people waiting for em, and didn't even setup a place for it?

  That was interesting. I'm wondering why Best Buys are so, I guess, scarce? I can't imagine driving an hour just to get there...I have 3 of them that form a triangle around me, and the furthest one is about 20mins away. Then I'm wondering why there was a line at BB for amiibos that (I think) came out awhile ago? Do people line up like that every day? Or does BB send out a notice saying 'we've got em, first come first served'?
  So for me, I THOUGHT Gamestop cancelled my pre-orders of Ike, Mega-Man, King Dedede, and others, but I guess they didn't. They keep texting me when they get them in stock, and I just go pick them up, so I've just stopped hunting for them. So far I've gotten Sonic and Toon Link, and my Ike is supposed to show up tomorrow.
