On the 11th, I got to meet the NOA representative who visited my Wal-Mart. So I talked to him about plenty of the newest games. I'm also jealous because he gets to play some high profile games before everyone else. He even got me interested in a game I hadn't even heard of.

One of the things I learned were some things I had already heard about NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime. When our rep. met him he walked by him in the hallway and didn't know who he was until later on. The thing that is awesome about Reggie is he will talk to you in a casual laid back way. Makes me jealous of the people who actually get to speak with Reggie frequently, cuz Reggie is awesome.

Enough about that... I did get to learn a few things that haven't been reported on the gaming websites, however, it would be best if I kept my mouth shut on that subject.

Plus I found out about a website for associates working at stores. They can login and then learn about Nintendo products through modules. Which is made more fun by the fact that I get entered into contests. Honestly I have almost 500 entries int the current won. They have daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly prizes. There are plenty of terms and conditions, but I pass. Plus I can get certified for knowledge in Nintendo products. They have weird questions for that sometimes... but I get more entries into the contests!

Plus, now on my DS lanyard is a Phantom Hourglass button. Also, next time, I'll get a new lanyard! Free stuff is win!

Be jealous, be very jealous.
