My Black Friday Extravaganza: The Late Edition: How I Got Rock Band: Colon
Clockwork | 11:37 AM on 11.25.2007 5 comments




On Black Friday, I didn't camp out in front of any retail outlets cause...well, it’s too fucking cold where I'm at and I like sleeping on a mattress. Call me old-fashioned. I decided if I found the right deal, I would buy Call of Duty 4 and anything else that would peak my interest but I wouldn’t commit to going at a crazy time in the morning or anything. So around three o'clock in the afternoon I went to a few retail stores hoping I could get some good deals, and suffice to say, there was nothing. My dad got some shoes and my friend got a DVD or two, and that was about it.

BUT THEN, we hit up Target, we saw one last box for Rock Band, which was pretty fucking big. We wanted to buy it, but decided it was way too much cash so we decided to ignore it. My intention was to ultimately get Call of Duty 4 on sale at Target, but they didn't have any (fucking bastards) so I had to go over to Gamestop and get one for $60 like a normal human being. BUT THAT'S NOT THE MAIN PART OF MY STORY SO KEEP READING NANCY.

Then we jumped over to Best Buy and saw the Rock Band booth set up and me and my friend decided to give it a go. Holy. Fucking. Shit. I was satisfied with Guitar Hero 3 even when Rock Band was getting all these great reviews, but playing it, is a completely different story. No matter what instrument you’re playing you feel like a total badass. This game is fucking awesome. We decided then to haul ass back over to Target which we figured the Rock Band would be gone by now (about an hour and a half had passed since we saw it) but to our surprise, it was there, and we grabbed that shit so fast that we had to fight a few grade school kids for it. I sent one to the hospital.

I played with my friend for about six hours straight that night. It's a fucking blast. And typing this whole thing up made me realize, I didn't get one fucking Black Friday deal, I paid everything for its full price, what the fuck was I thinking? Did I mention my strum bar on the Rock Band guitar is already busted? POS.

Black Friday is my favorite (holi?)day, simply because one can run in, close-line everyone and steal their stuff while their unconscious; It's just par for the course! Fuckin' hell, we need more days like that!

Black Friday is my favorite day because it gives me a chance to test many of my new pepper grenades, lightning guns, tasers, 40mm bean bag launchers, flash bang grenades, and so much more on random ass people who are just standing in a line.

Don't feel bad, guy. My blue drum pad is shot. EA is supposedly sending me a new one 2-Day Air. But I have to get them my old drums before 28 days from when I order the new one or ELSE!
