Buying an X-Box or I Hate "The Man"
I decided to finally bite the bullet and buy an x-box today... For a while I had decided against buying one... what with Microsoft being evil and all, but ended up being drawn in by the sheer amount of good games, the amount of people I know with one to play online against, and the great deal Future Shop had... errr... wait a minute...
I got there, and the free game they were giving with the system was sold out... The other stores did not have any either. I went to Best Buy and asked if they would match the deal. They said they wouldn't because FS was sold out! Even my old buddies who worked there wouldn't go against "the man" and do a guy a favour. Everyone was so brainwashed to do everything by the book. When I worked there (for 2 months) I did what was best, not always what "the man" told me too. Due to their lack of desire to help a brother out, I took my money to my other old place of employ, EB, and was given a great deal. While not being able to match the FS deal, my old co-workers helped me out. FS and Best Buy suck. Playing the games I picked up (Star Wars: KOTOR, ESPN NHL 2K4, and the pack ins Crimson Skies and Project Gotham Racing 2) was quite the experience, as the x-box has tremendous graphics (I expected similar to GameCube, but they are WAY better) I am looking forward to having a much wider variety of games to play now (when I have time). That and more adult and violent games... the kiddie stuff can wear thin after a while... Not that GameCube is bad or anything... it rules... just that the xbox had a great selection of games going for it... Should be good times!
I also FINALLY found the Police Academy Box Set today. Jay and I have been looking for it for quite a while now. 49$ for 7 movies... 17$ separately. The first 4 movies are pure gold, while the others... not so good... We watched the 7th one because neither one of us had seen it... damn was it garbage.... Utter shit with only a tiny amount of funny... which was all located with Commandant Lasard's confused old man gimmick. Overall it was a HUGE waste of time.... oh well...
Calgary in the Stanley Cup finals! Whoooooooo!
