Okay, here's a random blog for you all... I would like to talk about something more sensible, but this will have to do. You know, the 7up awaits... and so does the TV... and the Lays... dayum I love California. :P

Went shopping today OMFG. Went to a few stores of interest, namely Target, where I browsed the games and eventually bought a Star Wars game boxset. The boxset is awesome, and it was only 40 dollars. It contains Star Wars: Republic Commando, the first KOTOR, the first Battlefront, Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast, Empire at War, and a 14 day trial of Star Wars Galaxies. w00tsome, really.

And also, I got a funny story about what happened in Best Buy - this guy was playing Guitar Hero II in teh store and I was waiting patiently for my turn, and towards the end of Psychobilly Freakout (Easy difficulty, and this guy seriously sucked) the PS2 froze up and nothing happened. With regret the dude put the guitar down and in dismay I walked away with the knowledge that I wouldn't get to play the game. You know, the PS2 is encased in like a clear box in most stores so that the console doesn't get damaged, right? Well the reset button was just out of my reach and I didn't dare get my hand in further into the box in case it got stuck and things got embarrassing.

Luckily after a hasty dinner I found a discarded pen lying on the sidewalk.

I triumphantly returned to Best Buy, strolled down the PS2 game aisle and just about managed to slot the pen into the frame and push reset. I got questioned by a store employee, but when I told them the PS2 froze they realised I just wanted to reset the thing so I could play some Guitar Hero - then they returned to their work.

I would have liked to say that their heads turn when they saw me rocking out, but no they didn't. I played a few songs, not too many. Shout at the Devil I just about secured on Hard difficulty, YYZ on Medium difficulty, and Strutter on Hard too. I still don't have the game, I'm waiting till Christmas. I just hope that whoever buys me it has got the PAL version so I can play it when I get home. Almost definitely not, so I have to make the most of the game while I'm here.

Ah well, at least I get to do some shreddin'.

Later!
