i would like to weave you a tale of turmoil and woe.

the adventurous journey in which i embarked to retrieve a certain game called "dead rising"

now, if you could do me a justice and look at the following link

http://the-boxman.blogspot.com/2007/01/bomberman-honestly-i-dont-know-why-im.html


that was Friday January 19, this year.

and i quote "i got it only because they didnt have dead rising, which was the game i WANTED to see, but sadly it got stole from rogers"



this is where my journey starts.

i was fortunate enough to get my hands on an xbox 360 through mysterious powers, but at a fear that it could be taken away from me at any day i decided to rent one of the few games i was interested in. now i like zombies. it is indeed my favorite genre of movie, and a zombie game sounds good to me, but a zombie game where you beat zombies over the head with T.V.'s, sounds like a total delight that you can only get from skinning a Marmaduke. i dont know what a marmaduke is, but it sounds like fun to me.

so i went to rogers and did the sensable thing. i tried to rent it. to buy the game mike be thought as, a "financial risk" and so i set forth on my adventure and tried to rent it.

rogers didnt have it. every week i looked, until on the third week i asked a clerk when it was supposed to be returned.

"febuary 4th" they said and so i waited patiently. and on febuary 5TH i went in, in search for that game.

"they havent returned it yet"


and so i waited.......a month.....two months.....three months.


nothing. it is pretty safe to assume, they would not be returning the game.

fine....



so i was left with little recourse. i had to buy the game.

this presented me with even further issues.

first i went to ebgames, which is always a mistake. first of all i noticed it was used, the yellow sticker always gives it away. the second thing i notice is, its 59.99

how can you justify that...?

well ill tell you how, some twerp bought it, i went back today to see it was no longer on the shelf, and although i can say that person must have wanted it much more, i think he is rather selfish for buying it at that price.


so the game is rather important... i am forced to try other paths in my adventure.

by the way if your wondering why i did'nt buy it for 60, because chances are i would have (dont even mention the hippocritasism) the guy in the front desk says i need to be 17......."but i am 17" i pleaded....."we need to see I.D" says the clerk sternly.

ok so i try and buy it on Ebay next. of course if you've ever tried to purchase something like that on ebay you will know that the amazingly greedy americans will try to swindle you out of 10 dollars for shipping, on top of the overpriced sticker.

most of them on ebay are 60 dollars, and the best deal there slipped out of my fingers.

grrr, ok but if that wasnt bad enough, yesterday i turned 18 (yay) but when i try to buy it from bestbuy (its brand new and 49.99, i hate you EB)


so, finally we come to the end out my tale. tomorow, i must bring one of my parents (or guardians, however you want to say it) to bestbuy to purchase this game.

i have NEVER had more trouble, to play one game...


my point is.... it better be good... ill let you know...



by the way i think i should add, that i still check occasionally, and it still has'nt been returned to rogers.
