My local Kmart is (finally) going out of business. The sales aren't insane yet...

The Kmart near my old Denver residence (and kitchen (wink)) has gone out of business 6 or 7 times in as many years.  Like a stupid, I get lured in each time by the promise of insane sales due to the shuttering of the doors.  Somehow K-Mart's prices at 40% off start to approach WalMart and Target's standard prices.  Why does this store still exist?!?!  

During the going-out-of-business sales, I see people who apparently don't watch as much TPIR as I do stocking up on overpriced junk they don't need.  I don't mean to judge, but these people often look like they are the members* of our great society that can least afford to be paying higher than average prices for standard household goods...  Anyhow, K-Mart seems to make enough bread during these events to unshutter their doors for another several seaons, only to promise going-out-of-business-price-insanity a few months later.

Though I picked up a few movie/game related items at these sales too.

It does feel a lot like Assassin's Creed, but that's not a bad thing at all.

Sounds good!  Maybe once I get caught up on AC**, I will be picking this one up.  I really do love the AC series, but I often want it to expand its horizons a bit.  This new contender in the genre will hopefully shake things up and bring some new ideas to the melting pot.

*005, for example.

**It will never happen.  I'm about to start AC4, but with 2 new AC games this year and all of the other crap I've got going on...
