Not sure if this should go in the bargain thread or not, but best buy is selling $100 itunes cards for $80 today (either card or digital delivery).

Thanks for sharing that deal for the itunes card!

Dave_Weinstein · 2012-05-22T18:35:22.000Z

Whoah! Thanks, ordered.

I hate best buy. Said I would never buy from them again in my life. This tempted me. Just tried it - said 1.5 hours left on the deal… sure until I try and pay for it then its $100.

Crap. Missed it.

Whoever turned me onto PocketTactics.com is doing damage to my wallet.

Defender Chronicles 2 is supposedly coming out on Thursday. Its a vertical tower defense game that looks pretty sweet.

Autumn Dynasty which looks gorgeous will also be coming out tomorrow as well.

I’m excited about both of the above, but the PocketTactics people seem to also be excited about Empire of the Eclipse which is also slated to come out tomorrow.

Justin and I are playing a game of Neuroshima Hex, and the push notifications work fine. I’d like to play in another game before starting a league, so let me know either here or by PM if you’re interested! You can start the game and PM me the link, or I’ll do it for us.

JustinFletcher · 2012-05-23T13:41:28.000Z

Well, they sort of work. I’ve had a “1” on my NH icon for the last three turns. But the banner notifications are accurate.

And make sure to read up on the expansion teams because they do all sorts of crazy stuff that might blow your strategy out of the water. Right, Dave? :(

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T13:42:21.000Z

My pushes are working.

Am I using an expansion team? I don’t even know!

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T14:38:16.000Z

Mini-Cyn and I played a whole game, basically in real time. It was great!

Mini-Cyn · 2012-05-23T14:39:44.000Z

I have had my arse paddled. Good game though Dave. Despite the tremendously clunky invite system I really love the multiplayer. If they could just run invites through game center I’d be pleased as punch with the multiplayer.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T14:47:20.000Z

Same here!

I can’t play another in real time, but I’m happy to start another game with you.

Mini-Cyn · 2012-05-23T17:23:49.000Z

Anyone notice the tab on the right side of the multiplayer screen? It opens up a chat.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T17:54:29.000Z

So that’s why you didn’t chat back to me during our first game? :( :( :(

Sadly it is. I didn’t learn about the chat until just recently. Haha.

Besides my poor luck in them, great matches Dave.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T18:48:36.000Z

I don’t know how many times you drew three move tiles or some such crap!

You have no idea how badly I wanted to throw something when I pulled those.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T19:03:39.000Z

Fortunately, there’s a CHAT feature so you could tell me!

helloooooooo Ascension

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-23T19:08:47.000Z

I made a Neuroshima Hex league for May! It’ll only be a week or so long, but it will help us iron out wrinkles. Send me a PM if you’re interested in playing, and let me know your Neuroshima Hex nickname!

Dave_Weinstein · 2012-05-23T22:11:48.000Z

Autumn Dynasty is now available.

I’ve only played the first mission of the campaign, so I cannot speak to the depth of the game yet, but it is lovely.
