Yeah, even for someone like me, it's hard to play ALL the games out there. :)

Thanks for reading!  Yes, Pocket Card Jockey is a download only game.  Normally I prefer cartridges, which is why I was disappointed that Rhythm Heaven Fever is download only because it's 30 bucks, the same price as a cartridge.  But Pocket Card Jockey is a small, simple game, and only 7 bucks to download, so I'm OK with it being download only.  I know you said you were having trouble getting your 3DS to connect to the Internet.  I wish I could just warp up there right now and help you get it connected.  But I'm sure you can figure it out.  If I can do it, I know you can!

I bet we'll get the Pokemon 3DSes.  I'm not 100 percent sure, but it seems likely, given how popular the franchise is.  They'll probably sell them in the US during the holidays, I bet.

Stlll haven't picked up Fantasy Life yet, though it does look interesting.  I think the Symphonia sequel is the only Tales game that lets you capture monsters to use in battle.

Yeah I know what you mean.  The good thing about Pokken is that it has an extensive single player mode and you can always play online (although I know that's not the same as playing with people in the same room as you).

If you have a 3DS and can connect it to the Internet, there is a free demo of Pocket Card Jockey you can download to try it.  I highly recommend it.

Snoopy as a WW1 flying ace is my favorite thing about Peanuts.

Good news!  Over the weekend, I did get a review copy of LEGO Star Wars after all!  And I get to review the strategy guide, too!  I can understand the Gears of War comparison with the duck and cover segments, but my brother and I also called them "LEGO Time Crisis."  That thing about the inverted flight controls drove me crazy, too.  When do you unlock the racing segments with the minifigures?  I'd like to try one of those before reviewing the game fully.

I like it at the end of Twilight Princess when Midna shows her true form and Link has a 'duh' expression on his face.

One of the main characters in Valkyria Chronicles wore a hat that made him look like he worked at a donut shop, so I named him Krispy Kreme.

Good to hear from you.  Yeah, 2016 has been kind of a yucky year so far.
