Coffee Beans
Are you heading out this weekend to do some video game shopping? If so, you might want to know Game Stop just announced they are bringing back, "Our most popular promotion..." for the weekend only, and only at GameStop.com. GameStop.com only, apparently not the stores, is running a "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale on their used/pre-owned video games as well as accessories. *UPDATE: Apparently GameStop stores are also offering the "Buy 2 Get 1 FREE" sale! I believe most Game Stop store locations close early on Sundays, around 6:00PM, so you might want to call before you head out if you wait until late this afternoon/evening.

The sale is running today, Friday June 29, through Sunday July 1. You can see all selection of games currently available, here: Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Pre-Owned Games and Accessories at Gamestop.com. Expires 7/1

MarioCare, or ObamaCare? Dr. Mario Online Rx's Reported Hours

Coffee Beans
Politics. Love the topic, hate the topic? Don't care about it?  Either way, if you have heard any news from outside of the video game world in the last day it probably had the words "Supreme Court", "ObamaCare", "Upheld", or something along those lines in it.

Dr. Mario Online Rx released on May 26, 2008 on the Wii, through the WiiWare service. The game released with a price point of 1,000 Wii Points, which is $10, and can still be downloaded for that price today. The game was developed by Arika and published by Nintendo. It received an ESRB rating of "Everyone" with no content listed for gamers and parents to be aware of.

The 2011-2012 flu season has "officially" ended, and with the U.S. Supreme Court upholding ObamaCare, The Patient Protection and Affodable Care Act (PPACA), bill today, I thought now would be a good time to take another look at Dr. Mario Online Rx.

How many hours have Wii owners reported playing Dr. Mario Online Rx in the last 8 months? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!
