About Me
Well I guess the first thing to get out of the way is that I am a game store employee. Luckiy my soul is saved from the evil of places like Gamestop and EB. Instead I work at C&C Games in Fremont, Ohio, a little slice of heaven in the hell of a podunk/retard town of asshats and wiggers.

Other than that I'm your average gamer nerd, my hobby luckily turning into something I can use at work. Even if my expertise seems to be playing the games my bosses can't stand, like RPGS and crazy ass 'unique' titles >.>;. Can't complan though, since working here has given me some more self-confidence and access to my bosses' vast experience in the gaming industry.

Plus I can get sweet swag, like my bitchin' Fable store display (which makes a nice night-stand XD) or the various posters that I eventually have to throw out because of my damn pets =P.

Besides that I can't think of anything else to put here, save for the fact that I love video game music. From the works of Mitsuda and Sakimoto, or even all the way back to Uetmatsu's early days with Final Fantasy, I have quite a large collection that I tend to listen to when either doing a few bits of writing or working =D.

WARNING! GUITAR HERO 3 BUNDLES! WARNING!!
CCGames Mike | 1:46 PM on 10.27.2007 14 comments


I'll just make this a quick post guys, since I'm at work right now. As a neat little independent store, the store I work at has certain privileges. One of these is the ability to sell games a bit early, such as Halo 3 and Madden.

Of course this job also seems to come with a bit of responsibility, such as informing people of certain...flaws...that could come up with their game purchases. If you are wondering what I'm talking about, we are selling Guitar Hero 3 early and came upon an unusual development.

I'll cut to the chase: some of the 360 bundles seem to be missing the software. The guitar is still there but no game. So far this seems to apply to just the 360 version, since we haven't had any returns on PS2 bundles...YET. It seems as if about 30-35% of the bundles we've sold have come back with the same issue.

So when you are in line at Wal-Mart or Gamestop, I'd highly recommend asking the person selling you the game to open it up for you. Better to be safe than sorry.

Lololol, did they rush the game out inb4 Rock Band because they were scared? It seems like they're fucking up an awful lot with the release.

Sounds like trouble XD I just called my local Gamecrazy and they said they'll have it available tomorrow when they open. I'm gonna get it and open it before I leave just in case. Thanks for the heads up.

no problem on giving you the guys the heads up. I would love for this to get front page, but knowing my luck someone else will take the credit for it or something. I can almost sense it...

man after looking all this over, i seriously hope this doesn't turn into nothing more than an isolated incident. though i'm sure if anyone else has any problems with their guitar hero bundles, they'll probably make their way here to let us know ^_^;
