It’s my thread. I’ll police it if I want to!

What if I eat the chicken while I’m gaming?

You’re on my lawn!

Amazon is offering Boom Blox Bash Party for $36.99.

Boom Blox is great when enjoyed with a delicious KFC Grilled Chicken Bucket.

mmMM-Mm! Wii-mote-lickin’ good!

Note to self: bring own Wiimote when visiting zengonzo’s place.

And don’t forget to bring protection.

Wrap it up, fellas.

Ribbed for her pleasure, no less.

Dave, would it make you feel any better if I told you that KFC was changing the name of their grilled chicken to ‘Gamer Chicken, the Chicken That’s Grilled for Gamers’?

Its just Frakin Chicken people. Go get a Frak pack, a 6 pack, and go kill everyone in Wolverine.

That’s really interesting. I’ll definitely consider joining as I purchase almost all of my games from Amazon.

Man, you’d save a fortune, you big spender.

At twenty bucks it’d pay for itself in four games …

Especially since Steve is well-known for buying every awful game!

Wow, nice deal. I also purchase the vast majority of my games from Amazon. Great find. Kudos to Cubit and whoever at cheapassgamer found this out.

the D2D and GOG discounts are what sweeten the deal for me

So I signed up. Once you pony up your $15 or $20, you simply go to the Membership Benefits section and have it generate a coupon code for you for Amazon. You put that in the requisite section when placing your order and you get 10% off. Awesome! The only thing that really sucks is that you can’t apply the coupons to existing orders, so I’ll have to cancel and re-order games that I want to apply the discount to.

Geez, how many games do you have on order at the moment?

Do you have a sorting facility built off of your home to handle the flow? A warehouse out back for the cases?

The other annoying thing is that you have to order one game at a time; as a result, the games are shipped individually. I used this and my tax return as an excuse to fill out the gaps in my gaming collection, here’s day one of my haul, with 23 more on the way spread across today and tomorrow. :)

Oh, MSUSteve, thanks for reminding me that I can cancel my EA Sports Active order and redo it with the coupon! Edit: And with free day of release delivery too!

I went through and canceled and re pre-ordered a bunch of games. I guarantee that ECA subscription has already paid for itself. That, combined with the fact that many pre-release games at Amazon are already offered at a discount ($56.99 is the typical price) is going to get me a lot of titles for about $10 off.
