My Late Saturday Night Haul

Dude.

I have been on the road forever. Last night I went to Best Buy and saw this gamer chair:



I sat in it and determined it was comfortable enough for my tastes. However, they were sold out of the chair. When I inquired a sales person as to when more may be in he told be they were expecting a truck in tomorrow with some. How convenient!

So, I came back today and told a sales person what I was told and he went into the back to have a look. He came out with a big, frowny face though because they didn't get a truck in and to make matters more awesome, they weren't going to be getting any more in ... ever. So after laughing at myself and the asshole who lied to me last night I was on my merry way.

I looked to see where the chair was available for in-store pickup and alas, I found a location about and hour from me. So I drove out there, got the chair and also picked up these little gems:



Boom Blox - trailer looked sweet and it sold me.



The Darkness - it was $15 new, I will try anything that looks cool for that price.



Virtua Fighter 5 Online - this was also $15 new and even though the d-pad is an abortion, I'll give the left thumbstick a try.


Not too bad, eh?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I want boom blox, but 50 bucks for a gimmick is wayyyy too much. Good finds though.

Your quest for your gamer chair reminds me of my want of a bean bag chair.

Did you listen to Podtoid this week? Apparently, Rev absolutely loves Boom Blox.

I need to pick up the darkness for 15 bucks. Let us know how you like that chair.

I am definitely thinking about getting me some Boom Blox. Despite the fact I vowed not to purchase any more Wii games after Smash Bros. hit, the videos of BB look like insanity. Plus, I always like games that have infinite replayability thanks to editors.

VF5 for $15 dollars?!?

I'm all for that!

P.S. maybe you could try one of these

The Darkness was good, but I was glad to have only rented it.

Update:

The chair is actually kinda meh, it needs a headrest. Haven't hooked it up to speakers or anything other than just sitting in it.

BOOM BLOX IS REALLY GOOD. I had decent expectations for the game and after spending about 45 minutes with it I can tell it's one of those games that will be a very popular Wii game. Physics ftw.

Really? It's good? I'm glad to hear that. I was so disappointed at the physics and ridiculous slowdown in Elebits.

I won't pick up Boom Blox until June, thanks to GTAIV this month.

I want VF5!

Though for the PS3... Even though it lacks Online Multiplay. I'm a casual Fighting Game player afterall.

The Darkness @ $15 is Win!

Boom Blox looks tight. Butmac Review, NO?

Virtua Fighter has Live support, lucky...

Boom Blox is rad. If you are a Wii owner and enjoy puzzle games, buy it.

Too bad about the chair. Still can't make myself play Boom Blox even if someone gave it to me for free. I don't like playing with towers of blocks in real life either. One day perhaps!
