^I bet you say that about all the monsters with more than two arms 
So it turns out anyway the Amazon.com Super Saver Shipping is really a scam. It says, "After your order ships, it will be delivered within 5-9 business days.", what it does not say is that your order may not ship for literally months!!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/...eId=527692
If I look at the estimated time of arrival for the computer I ordered it's like 2 months from now. I've been trying to find answers on the internet which seem to assure people that estimate is totally bogus and at most it will take about 17 days (which is still ridiculous) but anyway apparently Amazon withholds the right to keep your shit for like 2 or 3 months, maybe indefinitely if you choose Super Saver Shipping (which requires buying a lot of shit to even qualify for) so if you're like me and would buy things sometimes from Amazon for free shipping you probably want to think twice about what you're doing. The odds of me buying anything on Amazon just went down (and not even out of spite) about 80%. Good for you Amazon.
Anyway, the other stuff on that order Amazon shipped separately apparently sometime earlier today. So maybe in 3 to 5 days I can drown my sorrows in some KF2.
Also my inbox says I'm the proud papa of a 17$ (free shipping) Chinese/English copy of Demon's Souls (https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...0541569536)
EDITED: Errr, wait no, someone outbid me. Thought I got an email about that going thru. People must love the DS. And I just wanna find out if it's total crap or not
All that really mattered to me was getting the good boxart. I'm not sure what versions got all the ugly boxart. And don't get me started on the BEST versions with the fugly yellow box with the boxart in a tiny square in the middle. Why anyone would buy those I wonder. Anyway DS seems to be holding really strong. Presumably because Atlus never prints enough copies. There is presently no US publisher for Armored Core 5 and no word of a current gen Megaten game in the works afaik.
Now back on topic....
