Heh. I won't switch to Bell, but if I can get them to give money to the cause without having to do much, I'll do it. They could make a stupid contest about winning a phone instead.

There is no fun in a digital artbook. I never end up looking at those.
For music they really should be putting them on USB sticks at this point.
That's every corporate charity thing ever.
5 cents from this $10 bag of M&M's will go towards breast cancer research.
Whooo pink ribbon on the bag means I love my mom!
Most charity events are just marketing exercises. It's ok, they're actually doing something good with it

The first game is extremely easy to grind out to maximum. Once you get to the difficulty spike you can easily make an auto battle setup that just requires you to hold down the 3DS stick while you watch a movie or something. Anything before that doesn't really require any grind at all.
Just want to say thanks for this, got my preorder in earlier.
For the actual features, not really.
For the ability to complain about bad service and get tons of $10 promos, yes. I've paid back my Amazon Prime Student and then some.

It's still available. They must have dozens.
Yeah, I totally missed it when playing the demo. If I knew that while playing the demo, I probably would've purchased the full game!
It's not really that I thought the game would be difficult, it's that I felt battles took too long.
You can ask them to buy a game? I had no idea.
I've been waiting for the library to pick up The Witcher 3 for a while now...
Yeah I wasn't interested too much but kinda wanna try it. Wish I got in on it for Black Friday. Dumb me.
Is it wrong that I want to rebuy some PS4 games that I've already played on my beefy PC because of trophies and surround sound?
Due to the location of my PC I always use headphones and can't experience my 5.1 setup but the PS4 is in my room and I can play games loud there.
I dunno. Maybe I just want to find stupid reasons to spend money lol.

Lol. It's a Nintendo first party game. It's $74.99 for life.

It wasn't up for preorder until earlier this week/last weekend. No black Friday rebates
I think so, depends on how often you use it, but I get a great value out of it no doubt.
Find a family member to share it with. I share it with my girlfriend and rest of the family, we each pay like $8 for the year

This is absolutely true but at the end of the day it's still millions of dollars raised for mental health initiatives (approx $6 million last year I think) in addition to increased awareness and conversation about an issue that often gets forgotten.
Of course they're using it for advertising because they are a giant corporation and that's what giant corporations do but I feel like the amount of good that comes from it can't be denied.
These things are a must if you travel. I have a 10400 mah one that works wonders.

Deal Rise of the Tomb Raider PC CA$54.66

still too much....hope there will be a lot of cheap keys from ppl that got the nvidia promo codes and decided to sell.
edit: I already own the xbone version if I knew the PC version is coming out this soon I would have waited.
I won't even consider buying it for 60 if the art books and OST are digital. Collector Edition are really meant for collectors honestly.

You can ask them to buy any game as long as it is not M rated. Dumb, I know.

Nah, no one in Canada had it up for pre-order for Black Friday.
I tweeted out an article link: https://twitter.com/rushanshekar/status/692464842377162753

win-win
I really want them to put Soundtracks on USBs. My computer doesn't even have a CD drive anymore.
contract employees typically don't have access to health care benefits almost everywhere.
as much as I hate Bell, just because it's their publicity campaign for "Let's Talk" they aren't the only ones who are targeted by the root of the issue presented in the article.
Nothing for me.

Honestly that also infuriates me in that what he was doing seemed to be a case of being a contract employee when he should have been full-time because it allows them to not pay out those benefits.
What do you mean should have been?
Full time entry positions that aren't actually contracted out to employees of other companies or freelancers but are just full time company positions where the employee has fewer rights than if they were hired as full time.

Yes, Bell and other companies treat their low-level employees pretty badly. Low wages, little to no benefits, long hours, high turnover, etc. Some companies have even gotten flack for hiring unpaid interns.
However, the unfortunate reality is that you need connections and experience to get ahead, and you don't get those by being unemployed. And if you quit, there are other people willing to take your position, so the employer never needs to change.
So really it's a lose-lose situation.
It's possible to kick up a big enough fuss so that the employer takes action. But what if that action involves cutting those entry-level positions entirely?

I don't follow. They are contract positions. What are you saying?
CDkeys.com legit? I don't need a vpn or some bs to redeem do I? Not gonna get some russian language version of the game?
They just seem so much cheaper than anywhere else...
Someone was selling Nvidia codes for 20$ US in the BST like 1 hour ago. They might have some left. Cdkeys is legit but you get a cd key from some boxed release from a cheaper location.
I worked in a job like that for 6 years, and then another for 2. It's a joke, there should be laws against keeping "temporary" contractors in full time positions for that long.
Try BST topic, just bought from a Gaffer for 20 USD, much cheaper. Honestly and now I can trade in my xbone version tmr. cdkeys is kind of a grey market, I bought arkhem knight + season pass from them for 30 ish and it did work but I have also heard story of ppl keys getting banned though.
