Today when I sat down to play some Xbox with a couple of friends I was expecting to have some fun, busting some caps. Instead my controller kept turning off in the middle of the game. Now if you don't know, my controller is screwed up beyond all recognition. When it has all but one if its bars, it starts turning itself on and off like it has almost no battery power left. You think thats bad enough? Theres more. My wired microphone doesn't work with the controller. I have tried to buy a new one, but I don't exactly have enough money to just go on shopping sprees for things I can survive without. You can at least let me play my game, but no, no, no, no ,no. This controller has been bothering me for the past couple of weeks, and I have had enough.

Later in the afternoon I rolled by Gamestop to finally get rid of those days were I scavenger the house for spare batteries. I was going to buy the rechargeable battery pack for $20.00. I went in, said "hi" to the clerk, and browsed for a couple of games that I would want to rent or buy later. After about ten minutes in the store I finally found what I came for, and immediatly went to the register. The man up there seemed polite, maybe in his late twenties or early thirties. Knowing me, as soon as I what I needed, I rushed out of the store and was getting ready to enjoy playing full games without being interrupted. For some reason, when I hit the car I viewed the check. Oddly enough, I payed 30 dollars for a 20 dollar item. Mixed in with the tax, it was about 22 dollars, but what about the other 8 dollars. I sprinted back to the store and started raising hell at the register. The poor cashier had no option but to give me the money back. So kids, the moral of this story is... don't shop at Gamestop.
