Time for a change in my gaming plans, pt. 1

Song of The Post

Today, instead of putting a song here, I wanna do some kind of rant. I know no one cares about what I think but I got a little p!ssed off when I was told I cannot listen to my radio station from Last.fm anymore. The site is owned by the same group that owns GameSpot and it's really amazing, but now, they decided that listening to random songs that are similar to the ones you like must be a paid service. This was free from the very start and now, it's paid. U$3 a month. I guess that's a little too much, since we cannot chose the songs we wanna listen to and we cannot download them. They're random. But, phew, money rules the world...

The Post Itself

I went to the dentist's on last Thursday, I had an appointment for my monthly brace's maintenance but when I got there, there was a paper on the door saying they were closed that day due to some problems. I was like "Motherf*ckers! Didn't even bother calling!". But whatever, I intended to pass by a game store and get two new games. The store is in the middle of the way between my home and the dentist's. I went to the dentist's by bus but I walked to the store (around 0.9 mile) and went it. They have a screen and a mouse so we can slide through games. I had money for only two games, but I wrote down ten numbers. Then I went to the other section of the stoe to pick the games and I waited, waited, waited, waited... Then another guy who came after me was heard before me and I was starting to get nervous. I'm very calm and all, but I was waiting for around twenty minutes. I went outside the room and talked to another attendant and he didn't do nothing. I went back to the room and waited for around five minutes. It was like that stupid guy wasn't seeing me. I'm kinda shy so I didn't say anything to him. Then I went out again and talked to another attendant, who was around 17. When he heard that I wasn't being helped he went inside the room already mad with the other guy, who was around 18 and he was like a really mad boss. I was going to get The House of The Dead: Overkill and Call of Duty: World at War. But their CoD:W@W wasn't working, so I got Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles instead.

I realized I'm wasting my time and money with fake games while those porch games keep getting more money. So I decided that I'm not buying games anymore. No more fake Wii games and no more original DS games too. Now I'll do things on my own, I'll get the games from the internet burn on DVD's, use the R4 card or whatever I gotta do. The money that I spend on game, be original or not, could be used for example to get a new console, or in this case, a new DS. Find out more on my next blog.

Thank you for reading and have a nice week.
