Batman Day = Money In Your Utility Belt

If you’re like me you have a long list of Batman things that you want to buy.  You also probably have a pretty long list of Batman stuff that you already have.  But if you are working on your “buy list”, it’s a good time as Bat-sales are everywhere this week because of Batman Day.

Here’s a few of note, I’m sure there are more:

Most importantly, this shows the dominance of the Xbox platform over the Garcia preferred Sony.

Will Star Wars Battlefront Drop in 2015?

When Disney absorbed Lucas’s Empire (heh), they shuttered Lucasgames and we felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if unemployed programmers suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.  The Mouse rolled those responsibilities into Disney’s gaming division; which is common in mergers and acquisitions.  Nothing worse than redundancy besides calling human beings redundancies…
