Takedown

Why am I at work? I could have used this storm-screwing-up-public-transport excuse to come in at least another hour late. I could have been home, playing Burnout 3! Which is awesome. Slow motion and crashes are made for each other. Like spinach and ricotta cheese. Mmmmm, ricotta…

If Andy’s still insisting on being the cynical one about the curse, then I suppose I’ll have to be the hopeful one. I never get to be the cynical one. Still, if Andy’s been lured back into the curse’s terrible sphere of influence then he can’t really be all that cynical. Has he realised that even if his inspired plan to convert games from Xbox to Gamecube works, he’s still only got the Halo 2 bonus DVD? I wondered where that case had gotten too. Jackson was asking. It turns out the playdisc was transported inside the Xbox, which he’s not normally in favour of. I thought he was OK with it, but then he smashed my car into oncoming traffic. So maybe we’re not cool.

Electronics Boutique shouldn’t be allowed to put cases out in their ‘coming soon’ shelves. It’s evil. Shortsighted people like myself are convinced for minutes as they walk towards the shop that Knights of the Old Republic 2 has been released.

    I wouldn’t leave the disc in while travelling. Could cause trouble with the spinny thing.

    What’s this car smashing business?

    You’ll develop a more suspicious nature after more exposure to EB. Your first instinct should be to think ‘is it out yet?’

    It was in Burnout 3, don’t you worry.

    Is there a word for the feeling you get when two weeks after you buy a game you see it available for $30 less?

    I didn’t want to say anything but I saw it for $50 the next day. Where you bought it. I couldn’t bring myself to tell you, even though you already kind of knew.

    But $30? Oh well, just pretend that Paul didn’t pay any and it becomes a similar price. Almost.

    Yeah, I saw it too, that’s what I was thinking of. I suppose really, it’s $40 less but I was under-exaggerating to make myself feel better.
