Morning Discussion

Back to the working week, eh? Crysis has finally arrived, and Remo reviewed it here. If you'd like some lighter consumption, maybe a Digidump is what you are looking for? I think we could probably use a contest today, more on that later. Is there some Mario game coming out today? That sounds like it might be okay, might not be offensive. Maybe. How is it?

        Convince a friend to buy the game, they conveniently propose that you will purchase the game for him at Toys'R US. BAM your SMG, $25.

      I finally got it at Walmart, but not with out people being idiots.

      I recently (yesterday) talked to the manager at Target, with him saying "Ya sorry we cannot sell the game, till 11/12/07" , that sucks, but I'll wait. So this morning I call at 9am CST and the bastards tell me, oh ya we cannot sell it till Wednesday 11/14/07. Hmmm. He claims that their ads say 11/14/07, which they, do. I inform him that the game was released 11/12/07 and a Nintendo Memo could verify this, he agrees and still tells me "Ya, but we will get in trouble with Target (Corporate I assume) for selling the game.

      So let me get this straight, you get in trouble for selling a game on time? My god idiots.

      Enough of my endless banter, this game rocks and I await the Shack review for a good read.

      Didn't buy it. Too many other great games to play right now. That and I'm pretty worn out on the little plumber. I guess it's just over-saturation over the years, finally sinking in. Now back to TF2, Crysis, Gears of War (PC), The Witcher, Hellgate: London, SupCom: Forged Alliance, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts,...ah..you get the idea.

        One person controls mario (jumps attacks etc). The other person use the wii mote to point at the screen to collect the stars that float about. To boring to split the 2 jobs from 1P to 2 IMO.

      after seeing Remo say he walked in and got his from EB yesterday afternoon, I went to the Gamestop by my office and asked if they were selling

      "Come back tomorrow"

      I said "Some EB Games are selling them, you guys can't?"

      that's when both employees said "No they aren't..." and I started to break in with "...but" and then they continued with "You know why? Because EB Games doesn't exist anymore! They've all been bought out by GameStop."

      Tell that to the two EB Games stores I rode by on my way to Circuit City, where I bought my copy of Mario Galaxy last night, ass.

      I don't care if they tell me "We don't have it" or "We can't sell it, sorry :(". But don't be a fucking ass about it! "Drr you don't know what you're talking about, those stores don't exist!! Wanna pre-order???"

      ...So I dropped by later to pick it up: "Nope! We'll have it at 3:00!"
