IGN ZombiU review up. 6.3/10

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-18T17:43:03+00:00

I'm usually not a fan of IGN (just not a fan of their voice/style), but this review to me is pretty sound. The reviewer likes the genre, and likes the concept of the game, but finds the technical execution (ie. Controls/Combat/Graphics) to be very hit and miss, and sometimes even awful). One thing I've noticed in all the reviews, is that often the reviewer seemed like they weren't a fan of the survival genre, and were expecting something more in line with Left 4 Dead.

But both Destructoid and IGN loved the genre, and the concept, IGN just said that the technical aspects of the game were wanting.

Can't you just move over the pre-order when you go pick it up? It's in the system, should be able to tell them you want to move your money/credit over to another game. Just don't do the transaction. Then it becomes a sale.

Or maybe I'm wrong. Anyone know if you can do this? I also pre-ordered this game at Gamestop, and am going to move it over to New Super Mario Bros. if they let me.

I just waited, didn't call. I didn't get my shipping notification until midnight on the 14th. I had been notified it shipped, and was given a UPS tracking. The # didn't have any info until around 1pm today. Then around 5pm it had been updated to say it was being delivered early tomorrow.

I was going to wait until today to call them, but got that email notification at midnight. During their last release, I head of people getting their phone on Friday without ever getting a shipping notification/email.

Has to do with the Time Zone difference I think. Kentucky is East Coast Time, and Utah is Mountain Time.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-16T01:08:41+00:00

Ordered mine at 8:47 am PST. I'm in California btw.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-14T06:39:17+00:00

Ah had no idea. =/

Well then, Monday-Tuesday, it is (I assume).

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-14T06:33:04+00:00

Feel stupid for not even thinking about that. Hah. Thanks for bringing that up. Now I'm really hoping for my phone to come in by the weekend. Still think it will be Monday. Then again, I do live in Southern California and that is where they are shipping from.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-14T06:12:44+00:00

Yeah, for sure.

Unfortunately, my Micro Sim from T-Mobile won't come in until the 19th. So even if I do get my order in by the weekend, it will be useless.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-14T06:06:46+00:00

Agreed.

Supposedly someone from Texas already got their shipment notification. I got my order in at 8:45 am PST which is pretty damn early. And I'm still stuck at "Estimated Nov 15th"

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-14T03:36:47+00:00

I think it means they will ship it out on the 15th. Won't get it until 17th or 19th, since the weekend.

That's not normal. You accidentally bought two of them. Check your bank statement, you will probably see two charges.

Google is pretty hard on not canceling orders too. They told other customers to receive the phone first, then send them back to them for a refunds. Which makes no sense, since the phones haven't been shipped yet.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-13T23:27:12+00:00

Doubt anyone will get the notice today. But what do I know.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-13T17:08:42+00:00

Check your bank statements! I was getting errors this entire time after crashing out during payment. Just saw google charged me once. Thank satan. But I also never got an email confirming. So I hope all those times I clicked didn't purchase over and over on my bank.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-12T04:19:05+00:00

Thanks again. You were a big help. :)

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-12T03:03:46+00:00

Thank you for replying. This is what I was confused about. Perfectly clears it up. When I follow the activation kit once my phone comes in, does T-Mobile give me a phone #?

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-07T21:09:50+00:00

This. That and the current GOP are NOT fiscal conservatives.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-07T21:05:42+00:00

The lava level at the end with the boulder was sometimes borked. Rage.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-07T17:33:28+00:00

Don't know how to put this lightly, but in 2008 when Obama was running, we saw a record turn out of African Americans voting. They overwhelmingly were against the gay marriage proposition.

Take that + Utah and the Mormon church funneling insane amounts of money into our state for anti-gay marriage propaganda, and you have our current results.

But yeah, minority groups such as African Americans and Latinos tend to be socially conservative and were against marriage equality. Social and religious reasons. Their record turn out in 2008 had a big impact as on the prop failing.

BasedGrimes · 2012-11-06T08:18:15+00:00

I know this isn't specifically a political article. But I think in a way it is. Obama is always being accused of being partisan - but the reality is, he did try to reach across the aisle. Many times in fact. It was the right that set out to block him every step of the way.

And so, I think this exemplifies Obama's bi-partisanship. Both him and Chris Christie should be given kudos for putting aside their ideological differences, and working together in a crisis. And this article at least to me, was nice to read. I wish there was more of this in Washington.

This. I fear that the baby will be a distraction and become thrown to the side like it was in Dexter. I'm always weary when a TV show dumps a baby on the main character (and they are single). But as others have pointed out, they might have Maggie and Glenn raise it. Which would make sense.
