[shortblog] In which I gave into temptation...
DocHaus | 9:27 AM on 07.05.2009 3 comments


Y'know, I was going to make another humorous-post about the internet creaming its collective undergarments about BlazBlue. But I guess I can't do that now, because I went onto Amazon and bought the damn game today, in its (not quite) Limited Edition Glory for $56.99 (A full 5% discount! Whoopee!). It'll probably arrive in my mailbox sometime this upcoming week.

In lack of much more information that, I guess I could also post other times I've given into temptation and paid full price for a game: Like when I paid full price for Left 4 Dead only to see it go on sale for 50% MSRP on Steam a couple weeks later. Or when I bought C&C3: Kane's Wrath but realized that not only do I suck at it, but the few of my friends who play RTS either stuck with Starcraft or moved on to something else like Red Alert 3. Yep, I'm ahead of the curve and my wallet cries out in agony as a result.

Still need more stuff to put...well, I guess while I wait for the game to arrive I can listen to the MOST EPIC FIGHT SONG EVAR!

DocHaus apologizes for the lack of funny in this post. He will do his best to rectify the situation in the future.

Hehe.. I caved in myself and ordered a copy this weekend too. Fighting games aren't even my forte, so this should be interesting. :D

Well, if you have the 360 version, then maybe we can suck at it together over XBL.

...wait, that didn't come out right.

LOL.. Isn't that what co-op is all about?

Hopefully, I should have my copy later this week. My GT is Sythlia if you're still interested in trying to kick each other's ass while performing the wrong moves. XD

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

Drifting somewhere between self-hating geekery and caffeine-fueled Gamer Pride ranting exists the entity known as Doctor Haus, or just DocHaus for short. He claims to play a doctor on TV, but the closest he's ever come was an acting gig in some Telecom major's class project. In reality, DocHaus just happens to be Some Guy With a Website whose moral compass has become so twisted by the internet that the line between snark and "Serious Business" has blurred considerably.

DocHaus first got into gaming at the age of 6, when his parents bought him a Sega Genesis to shut him up. Oh, if only they realized the forces they would unleash upon this young, impressionable mind. Since then, DocHaus has also gone through a Nintendo 64, bought a Gamecube at launch day, and picked up an XBOX 360 off of Ebay. He also plays various games through steam on his laptop when there's a good connection.

DocHaus will probably never refer to himself in the third person outside of this "About Me" section.
