Woo hoo! Sribblenauts came out today! Long months of avoiding any Scribblenauts related media has finally payed off! I literally couldn't wait to get out of class today so I could pick up my pre-order copy and get home. Which is probably why I got a speeding ticket on the way home from Gamestop. Wait, no, I was freaking profiled!


Meet Crystal, my 1999 BMW 318ti. More info and pictures here.

So I know this is a video game blog and what not but let me vent here. I drive a fairly nice, if old, car. It's a '99 BMW 318ti and I love it almost more than life itself. And yes, I do drive it fast on occasion, but for the most part I'm a very careful and courteous driver. Which is why it was such a surprise to me that I was pulled over today and told I was doing 65 in a 55. First of all, the cop told me he got me doing that speed in the left lane of the exit ramp I was on, which is weird because I was behind people doing the same speed, in the right lane. I firmly believe that I was pulled over because of my young age and my car. I was going 65, but that was the speed that traffic was moving at, I wasn't passing anyone. I think the cop knew this too, because when he came back to my car with the ticket, it wasn't a speeding ticket at all, rather he had written me out a ticket for failure to obey a traffic control device. This guy was just trying to meet his quota and he knows I won't fight a ticket that doesn't come with any points on my license. Meaning I'm just gonna pay this and he's gonna get credit for stopping someone and issuing a ticket. It's bullshit, but that's life.


God Damnit!

So yeah, on the brightside, Gamestop got their shipment of Rooster Hats literally right as I got there. Meaning if I had arrived any earlier, I would have only gotten my game and had to come back for my hat. And as you can tell by my header image, I look damn good in it. As does my Stewie plushy, which is where the hat will remain when I'm not wearing it. So yeah, I've had a bitter-sweet day, time to play Scribblenauts!
