19 December 07 - 15:52Eye of Judgment

Eye of Judgment Theme Decks are in ($14.95). The Ultra-rares in each theme deck CAN NOT be found in booster packs. We also have more singles in today (I ripped open another box).

The Eye of Judgment tournament is going to be delayed (not enough players available over the holidays), but we are still taking names and will contact everyone once we have something set up in the new year. We're also thinking about doing a booster draft, cause that would be fun.

- Boxing Day Sale Tip -
Eye of Judgment stuff will be on sale... so if you're thinking about getting it, add Gamedeals to your Boxing Day shopping schedule, it'll be worth it.

14 December 07 - 18:41Random stuff

Just a few random notes, shameless plugs, etc.

- REMINDER: We are still accepting donations for the "Child's Play" Charity... so bring your unwanted games and help out sick kids.

- Lots of new games have come in over the last week for Wii / PS3 / PS2 / Gamecube / SNES / N64 & more. Too many to list, mostly random stuff including some titles I know customers have been looking for.

- For women who are into music/rhythm games, we have a "special" product available for you. Just ask to see the "Beat Vibe".

- For anyone looking for Board Games & CCG stuff... since I don't carry it, I'd like to offer up a shameless plug for "Craving For A Game" in Surrey Central Mall (just a few skytrain stops down from us). Best prices, best selection, best service.

- I'm looking for a publicist. If anyone here is one, or knows one, please put me in touch with them. For extra points, find me one that will work for Video Games.

- Our lovely Government is trying to pass a new Copyright Bill that will take away our freedoms and will be worse than the USA's DMCA (which has turned out to be a massive failure). So if you want to keep the ability to rip your CD's to your MP3 player, back-up your legally owned games, download TV shows that you missed, and not be worried about your ISP ratting you out to American corporations who will then sue you for obscene amounts of money, you might want to do something about it while there is still time. Here is a good place to start if you're on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6315846683

- The Gamedeals web-show has been shelved permanently (for now) and has been re-worked into a webcomic style format to be launched soon.

- Anyone got any painting skills? We have a sandwich board that needs a paint job & a creative touch. I'm open to suggestions and offers by artists who want to take on the task. I'm looking for something cool, and cheap (like trading a few games kind of cheap).

- $2.00 buttons make great stocking stuffers.

- Stay tuned around Christmas, as I have something big planned for Boxing Day (don't ask, I will not tell you until the 24th).

14 December 07 - 15:39The Trial - Part 2

So yesterday was the second half of the trial for the guy who robbed us (and pleaded Not-Guilty). It was... more of the same. 1 officer testified that he recognized the accused in the Youtube video, another officer testified that he had arrested him shortly after our break-in and had some nice photos of him (before jail changed his appearance). Turns out he was conviced of another B&E (some Wine store?) and is already serving 6 months. Anyway, after the final statements, the determination came down to whether he was the guy in the video without a shadow of a doubt, and his distinct dimple was in question as it isn't prominent in the Youtube video. So the judge watched the original footage again (twice) and saw the dimple. Moments later she made her speech and and it ended with GUILTY.

Sentencing will take place next year as to not disturb Robert's "program" in jail. Hopefully this will be an opportunity for him to turn his life around, but we may never know. He will likely get another 6 months or more, as well as a judge order to pay me $1000 (the damage deposit), which I will likely never get.

If by some chance, years from now, Robert is reading this, and he's cleaned himself up and re-joined normal society... I'm sorry for the public shaming you took for this, blame the media who were all to happy to hype it up. You owe me a grand. Buy me lunch and we'll call it even.

07 December 07 - 01:16More Eye of Judgment stuff!!!

More Eye of Judgment cards have arrived today. Come & get them while you can.

ALSO: We are starting to plan for an Eye of Judgment tournament. It will take place both in person (at Gamedeals) and online (for people who aren't available) and will happen over the X-mas holidays (actual dates TBD). Once we get the players registered, then match-ups will be set & posted online. Players can then meet up at Gamedeals, or play each other online (as long as they play a best 2 of 3 and there's no bullshit disconnecting or anything), hence meeting in person is always the better option. Our game room will be available during the tournament for EoJ use. The first tournament will be free as an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other, and so we can build a local community of players, and we will use this experience to get feedback for future events. Prizes to be determined depending on number of players. To register, either stop by the store and fill out your info on our tournament sheet, or email me ( info@gamedeals.ca ) with your full name, phone number, PSN username, and email address, and I'll add you to the list. Registration will go until Dec. 16th with the tournament starting on the 17th. Players will have at least 3 days to schedule & play each match. Decks must be registered with me at the beginning of the tournament and may not change between matches. More info to come closer to the date.

We got in some new Wii & PS3 games this week, as well as a TurboGrafx 16 console, some NeoGeo Pocket Color games, some random games for other systems, and a NES Tengen Tetris (loose).
