You can get great wholesale prices by looking into directories and also sites when suppliers from China are contracted and listed. I think unfortunately, that's always been a danger, right. Though Conviction has its flaws you just can't underestimate it.

Another week gone by, a moderately normal and boring one if you ask me. Did any of you have anything exciting recently? Either way, enjoy volume 34 for now!

Sonic News:
An interesting question has been in discussion this week about the car in the poster for Sonic Boom, rather it will be seen in the game or cartoon; be sure to place your opinion on this in the Sonic Boom thread, and maybe some thoughts of yours on the game, and cartoon in general.

General News:
Apparently a Raving Rabbids movie is in the making, so the real question is, "Will we see Rayman at all, and if so will he play a role?"

I don't think it's healthy to be level 60 in an MMO in less than a day in-game time

CONS-
1. New bosses that spam projectiles or clones of themselves at you
2. mareathon levels
3. overall difficulty
4. some wads act strange but still work
5. The Final boss makes you fly out of the arena if you get hit by his missle
These are my opinions, but whatever.

1. Oh no, difficulty added (because apparently challenges are a bad thing now)
2. oh no, revamped stages that we can't beat in under a minute (that also look AMAZING; loving the slime thing, by the way).
3. Practice, it's not even that big of a difficulty curve.
4. They don't work because 2.1.X is an update
5. You move a good distance, but not NEARLY enough to fly off the edge without standing right next to it.
