Accidents Happen
DaedHead8 | 8:09 PM on 04.18.2008 24 comments



All I wanted was some sneakers. Why is that so hard? I was gonna drive to mall, go to the shoe store, find something inexpensive and get back home. So how did I end up with this haul? Accidents Happen. Really though, I was extremely bored so when I was done shoe shopping (I didn't find anything I liked) I popped into EB games just to have a look at their 360 games. I don't know when I decided to buy a PSP but I think it was somewhere between deciding I didn't want Saints Row and deciding I did want Patapon.


In brighter news, I've finally finished restoring the car I crashed nearly three years ago. It's a '99 BMW 318ti, ain't she pretty? All thats left now is for New York State to come and inspect her and lift the salvage title. I really couldn't be more happy right now.

LOL! That's why I hate going into game stores with money. I went to gamestop trying to find a cheap copy of Persona 3....walked out with a fully paid for Persona 3sp, GTAIV, and a copy of GHIII.


....dammit.
Brilliam's Destructoid Blog
that's why i love living in montreal-- when all i need is shoes, i can go to a shoe store. no game shops on the way to distract my attention/wallet.

still, good haul it'll be fully worth it if you ever commute (or even if you don't)

it'd be funnier if you went to buy shoes and got the car though

I hate money, that's why I spend it the second I get it.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
Dude, your car is bad ass.

Also, custom firmware. Nice new purchase, though.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
haha that's funny. When I go to a game store, I give myself a limit. Doesn't always work though.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
oooh valkyrie profile. good pick.

also, when I read that title, I thought you got someone the preggara on accident.
Xelotath's Destructoid Blog
That happened to me with the 360. I was working and we received the 360 Elite and at the same time there was a sale on accessories like the Live subscription and other stuff. So I impulse bought for 800+$ of stuff.

Congrats on getting the car refurbing done, Daed. Looks great. :)
DaedHead8's Destructoid Blog
I can't take all the credit Nihon. I didn't do the paint. I had my mechanic (best german mechanic in NY) do the paint and some body work. I did however completely rebuild the suspension and brakes on the front driver side of the car.

It happens to the best of us.
Eques-Ardor's Destructoid Blog
Funneh, because I'm in the position of restoring a 1992 BMW 325i.
Still trying to find out how much rewiring costs, because right now my lights are the only things that don't work.
Ub3rSlug's Destructoid Blog
Like everyone else said.

Custom Firmware.
Victor Stillwater's Destructoid Blog
Custom Firmware. You may need to find a friend who has custom firmware on his PSP so you can make the things that allow you to get custom firmware onto your PSP. :)

 about me



Whats up Destructoid?
My name is Sean McLoughlin and I've been sent from the futurepast to march with my fellow robots to victory. For Niero!

My favorite games can be numerous (as I'm sure is true of most here at Dtoid), but my all time favorites are Final Fantasy VI, Diablo II, Bioshock and Metal Gear Solid. I never rent games and I rarely trade in or sell the games I buy so I have a pretty massive game collection. For the sake of space I'll just list the consoles and portables that I own: NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, Playstation, N64, Playstation 2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Neo Geo Pocket, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, PSP 2000, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and a Playstation 3.

When I'm not in school or gaming you can probably find me reading a science fiction/fantasy novel or an issue of Wired or some such. My favorite authors are George RR Martin, Terry Brooks, Garth Nix and Terry Goodkind. I'm also a big fan of movies, my favorites right now are The Departed, Smoking Aces and Crank, although my all time favorite movie/director is Reservoir Dogs/Tarantino. I don't watch much TV and if I do its usually Discovery channel or Science Channel. My favorite band is obviously The Grateful Dead although my musical tastes are quite varied. I listen to everything from T.I. to Metallica to Toby Keith. Also, MC Chris FTMFW!
