Upcoming games that I might/will buy. I probably will not get all of them, me adding them here just means that I am interested in the game, but not so much so that I will buy it even if it is getting bad reviews everywhere. Ones with extras or special editions come first if I don't have enough money. Text in ( ) is to remind me where I preordered it or if I still need to

Alfred Hitchcock The Legend Begins: $5
20 of his movies, most from the 20s and 30s, six being silent films. Two are epsiodes from Alfred Hitchock Presents. Watcing the first movie now The Lady Vanishes.

White Noise 2: $4
It's about time I owned something with Nathan Fillion. I have not watched it yet though
Edit: Watched it, was really good until the last 18 minutes, which were just stupid.

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1 SE: $34
The first 13 epiosdes have almost nothing happening and they end when something is about to. The special edition only costs a few more dollars and came with a small figure of Naruto and an art card.

The Rocker: $4
Not very good. Kind of like a bad School of Rock. Got it more for my sister.
Mass Effect 2 Problem
I have no idea how you find their Live chat help or phone number on the EA website but I googled the two. The live chat didn't work for me, and it isn't working for almost everyone else but when I called I got an answer in about 20 minutes and the woman on the phone got all my accounts linked and made sure that I had my Mass Effect 2 content all in about 10 minutes of talking and 20 of waiting on hold for an answer. I still have never been given an answer from the admin I PMed or from their email custom service. Everything is working fine now though, I have my content, and finished my renegade playthrough of Mass Effect 2 giving me all 1015 achievement points.
I'm of course talking about Bioware and EA and how they handled the codes that come with the game Mass Effect 2. You are unable to just enter the code and download the content on your 360, that is just too easy for them. Instead, you have to go to Bioware or EA log into your EA account that has your 360 name linked to it. The problem with this is that whenever you play a 360 or PS3 game online with an EA server you have to create an EA account, now for the 360 I did this years ago with Battle for Middle Earth 2. The problem now is that now that I need that account with my gamertag for my Mass Effect 2 codes I might not remember the account, I ended up finding out what it was but I can't delete my 360 name or the account so that I can add my gamertag to my new EA account, the one that I have used to buy Dragons Age Origins content. In addition to the new codes you also are supposed to get Dragons Age armor (for people who bought that game) for your ME 2 character, of course to do that your PS3, 360, or PC Dragons Age account has to be on your 360 or PC ME 2 account. In addition to that the people who bought the CE of Mass Effect 2 only, kind of, got the Cerberus Network code (the thing that costs $15 and comes free with all new copies of the game, like Shale for Dragons Age). If I read right some people got it some people only got the code for the equipment (of course I am with those people), EA is supposed to have fixed it by making the game give you the content when you enter the equipment code or it will give it to you if you already entered it.
People were posted in a thread (one of many complaining about this) saying that whoever thought of this (this being that the codes should be entered on the EA site with properly linked accounts) needs to be fired, my response was this.
Fire him? ....I was thinking of doing much worse things to anyone that had anything to do with this. It was such a horrible idea, for so so so so so many different reasons.
Let me just try to remember all of the problems I have because of this
1: I bought the CE Mass Effect 2 which only sort of comes with the code, maybe its fixed now, I don't know because I can't try it
2: I have three accounts. This one which I use for Dragons Age and have bought content for that with, this is really the only account that I should have since there is no reason why I should have to sign up for an EA account while playing PS3 and 360 games. But no. I also have two accounts I could care less about, one for my 360 name (made almost four years ago) and one for my PS3 name (made almost two years ago).
3: It's been about a week and I have received no answer anywhere about linking these accounts. I posted on multiple threads, PMed an admin, and sent an email to customer service (should be here within 24 hours, or maybe 200 hours)
4: Why....in the world, can't you just remove a persona from an account or just delete the account completely?
5: It was only luck that I remembered my email and passwords for my older accounts (or that I even had them and that they were causing the gamertag linking problems)
6: After a week, I finally said forget this and was going to just try to use my code for my old account that has my 360 name. I already got my Dragon Age armor anyway from the download links that sites had posted before the game came out (I actually thought, I know I am getting this but I better download it in case something stupid happens and I get screwed over by the code in the box or by Gamestop not giving me their codes). I now find out that I can not do that because the account was never activated through the email sent to me (of course not I was playing a 360 game and I don't care). So four years later not only do I not use that email as my main email but I can't even log into it because the provider stopped my service years ago and deleted everything. So I have no way of getting that account to work because I can't receive the activation email. Why is an unactivated four year old account not just automatically deleted anyway since it is taking up a gamertag?
7: I'm now at the end of Mass Effect 2 and am off work for the next two days I want to sit down and finish it but I want to recruit my last character from the DLC before the final missions. I could import my other character but from what I have seen you get an extra power to start with in your second play through so I want to wait for that.
So there is now people complaining just because of how pointless this whole thing is, people complaining about getting no CN Code with their collectors edition, tons of people asking for account links for their codes and Dragon Age armor (which again, should have just been a code to use on the 360), people who have used their codes on wrong accounts, people who have used their code gotten it to work only to have it stop working when an admin finally linked their accounts together.
This is probably the most hilarious/stupid/poorly thought out/needless thing I have ever seen a game company do. It's like whoever thought this up was just trying to cause problems for EA, Bioware, site Admin, site mods, and the customers of both companies.
If the above doesn't make sense to you, consider yourself lucky. I thought the higher ups at Wal-Mart were coming up with some horrible ideas but whoever did this was just trying to cause problems for everyone.
The vote to fire whoever came up with this is now 23 Yes and 0 No.
