So I was really stoked about The Darkness. I pre-ordered it and everything. I was on my way to pick it up, and to be honest, I wasn't in the mood to drive kind of far through heavy traffic in 90 degree weather. So I'm sweating like crazy and I go up to the counter and ask the guy, "You guys get the darkness yet?" He says yep and I show him my pre-order receipt thingy. Then he asks me the question that ruined everything:
"You got a picture ID showing your 17 or older?"
...
If you have not figured out by now, I am not 17 or older. I am 16 and turning 17 in September. This has happened at least seven times prior to this. Go to the store, wanting to buy an M rated game, get punched in the nuts by that legendary question. This has actually cost me money before. I go to Best Buy when they were having that sale on Rainbow Six Vegas for like...40 bucks I think it was. And of course, I forget you need to be 17 to get it. I go back the next day with my brother and the sale is over so I had to buy it for $60...So I'll go back later with my brother or dad and get The Darkness. But I was looking forward to playing it instead of writing this blog, then again, I haven't made a blog post in a long while.
In other topics, I finished up Shivering Isles finally and made a review. I didn't like it that much. Don't be fooled by the insane amounts of positives in the review and the lack of negatives I put in there. It was annoying, and I was getting extremely frustrated at the end. Good storyline though :). Ive pretty much been sticking to Guitar Hero 2 and started getting back into Gears of War. Trying to get that hardcore campaign achievement. If anyone wants to help me finish up Act 4 on co-op, that'd be cool.
E3 is coming up, pretty excited about that cause I really have NO IDEA what to expect this year. Really wishing to see some more Killzone 2 even though I doubt I'm going to buy a PS3 anytime soon.
Applied for a job at EB Games and other places like American Eagle. Need a job for the summer and waited way too long to get one.
That's pretty much it for now.
