[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]<B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: I just got back with a friend who searching for someplace to buy it <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: Best buy was sold out, and EB gave us the preorder shit too <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: FUCKING EB. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: even though they probably had 100 copies out back and 10 people scheduled to pre order <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: Exactly. I can't believe they're pulling this shit. Seriously, there's been two games I've wanted since I was 17 -- a new Zork game and a new Doom game. Now I'm getting cockblocked on Doom. <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: THEY think I'm going to be all like, "Whoa! I should have pre-ordered! I'll definitely do that next time!" When, in reality, I'll simply never go there again. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: who the fuck preorders? Software shortages are a FUCKING MYTH <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: Especially if someone were to break the street date. I don't want to be tied down to EB. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: and every time there is one, it's most likely artificially induced by some marketing scame <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: EB and 80's nintendo <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: But out here everyone is a pussy and didn't break the street date. Now I'm crawling around on the actual street date and EB's truck of shit is running over me, backing up, beeping their horn three times and running over me again. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: GET OFF THE STREET! PRE-ORDERED COPIES COMING THROUGH! <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: it's okay to run him over, he's not one of our "priority" customers <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: Actually I think they run anyone over, just as long as they don't leave tire marks on the pre-order slips <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: The thing also apparently doesn't run with CloneCD installed. I seriously should have warezed this shit over the weekend. I'd probably get security called on me if I went to get a legitimate copy and was a dick about it, meanwhile piracy is completely victimless! <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: we almost stopped a hot chick outside the store to try and get her to buy a copy (which they definately had out back) for us <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: heh <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: These poor register jockeys are going to get yelled at if sales exceed pre-order sales. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: but I think begging a hot chick to buy you a videogame voids the warranty on your penis <B><FONT color=khaki>IceCreamJonsey</FONT></B>: What fucking reality are we living in here, m'man? What the hell is this shit? Why the fuck are we desperately trying to think of ways to LEGITIMATELY PURCHASE this fucking mertware? This is like that episode of the Twilight Zone where everything got all fucked up. I'm expecting Mr Serling to jump out of my storage cabinet and totally start chain smoking with a smirk on his face at how things are going badly for me. <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: I remember that Twilight Zone episode <B><FONT color=pink>FABIO</FONT></B>: where things were fucked up [/quote]
