I broke my wallet thanks Bla..err Broke friday..

Just curious...who's idea was it to release a shit load of awesome games around the same period. its bad enough consumers have to do drive-by's to get this years hot consoles and shit but then you have to drive back to store and get games to go with them is just inhuman.

In over the past 3 months, i've purchased

Halo 3
COD4
Mass Effect
Assassins Creed
Super Mario Galaxy
and I'm tempted to get RockBand for when I move in with my new roomates as "thanks for helping my broke ass in a bind."

I mean, i would be completing the pinnacle of my console adaptation but on the other hand....I'll have to get Oprah to co-sign on a 2nd mortgage.

though I hate that Super Smash Bros was delayed, financially speaking it was a god send

This past Broke Friday, I picked up Assassins Creed, Mass Effect and SMG and my wallet committed financial suicide and this was just for me. I can't honestly remember when so many good games came out around the same time....I do know one thing.

All my family members are getting the universal gift that keeps on giving.



unless one of them becomes a paraplegic or something then you he/she will get a meatwad hoodie or lolcat mittens...i dunno...

sleep beckons.

Idiot publishers who think that games only sell during the holidays. If they actually started delaying big name titles to polish up the flaws until the slow Spring/Summer period instead of rushing them out unfinished, they'd not only sell a ton of copies but make gamers happier by putting out a better quality product.

I'm Slade and I'm an alcoholic....and a gamer.


I first game'd when I had an SNES (also known as the perfect excuse to NOT play baseball).

I soon ended up with a Genesis which became the perfect excuse to PLAY football. (Ok there were a few decent games, like sonic's and phantasy star 4 (those that say 3 is good should totally find a cliff.)

Anyways, as late, I've been a bit of a PC gamer since my studies are in Computer Information Technology. Now I'm trying to get back to my first true love (no that bitch left me for some quaker or something). Console gaming. I got a Wii this past xmas and i'm poised to get an Xbox360 (just in time for the House season premire).
