A Valentine's Day Surprise?? NO WAY.
Y0j1mb0 \| 9:53 AM on 02.14.2008	35 comments

On June 23 1996 before my 24th birthday I got married to the woman of my dreams. Well scratch that, I didn't marry Linda Carter. I know , I know..Linda Carter?..hey, when I was a kid watching Wonder Woman I fantasized about her. Anyway back to my point, I married the second woman of my dreams. For twelve years we have had our ups and our downs, but we have carried on our relationship forever forward. People ask me how do you do it for so long when nowadays people get married and within a year are divorced. Simple. Common respect for one another and communication( Outrageous sex helps as well ). But this isn't Yojimbo's Love Line and I'm not here to dish out advice.

For twelve years my wife has always been generous but never has she bought me anything game related. Golf clubs..check. Fishing rod..( love to fish )..check, suits...check, but never a game. Imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning..well late morning and saw this. Now keep in mind we already exchanged gifts yesterday..or so I thought.

Hello there, what's this ugly Pink bag in my kitchen table?

Hmmm..let's have a closer look.

Why bother with this paper? I never understand why people spend money on this just to throw it away.

You've got to be shitting me..I was expecting a book. ( Love Books ) But a game??

...... O_o !!!!

......

...... NO WAY..

Hell Yeah..Nicely Done Luv..Nicely done.

A Twelve Year Drought and she gets me No More Heroes. How cool is that shit??

Hope EVERYBODY here at DESTRUCTOID has a Special Valentine's Day with their loved ones. And for those who have no life, and no woman ( or man ), revel in the fact you have a shitload of games you can bury your sad pathetic lives into and temporarily forget how much of a loser you are.

Cheers.

You'll love the game. I think it should've been a 360 game, since DMC4 is awesome and totally stomps the shit out of it, but still the game is awesome.

I hate the sandbox sections, they're making it really hard for me to get into the game.

@MaxVest:

I Believe your right.I was trying to figure out how she would know about my interest in the game..and my C-Blogs were the only thing I could come up with..lol.

ceark. I'm in a long distance relationship too. Stay strong brother, think of all the valentines you'll have together when you're sitting on a big pile of money earned by her degree.

Samit Sarkar says:
(# 25) on 02/14/2008 14:02

Awesome, dude...I�m sure you�ll enjoy the game; two of my best friends have already beaten it, and they absolutely loved it. Well, I�m glad to see that at least someone is happy today...*bursts into tears, goes and plays Rock Band drums to let it all out*

Firstly, congrats that is some woman you have. And i see you appreciate her as you were compelled to share the beautiful story. I im just as lucky in that i too have someone special who looks out for me like that too.

As for all you PS3 believers who are feelin alone. the PS network is there for you, get on to the shop and grab yourself a new demo or game even. (everybodies golf hit the EU PSN) so me and my girlie spent a couple minutes playing EVERYBODY'S Golf world tour....

so enjoy!

oh god i'm so alone!!!! *cries on the floor pathetically*

Also, you look alot cooler in color

Also, you're wife seems to be pretty awesome. I hope you don't get a mid-life crisis and realize you're gay.

I told my wife not to get me anything, just keep her money.

Cause really, it's my money, and I'd rather not get some candy from her that I payed for. It's disheartening.

For her, the usual roses and candy. Anniversery is less than a month away, gotta get some expensive shit for that, so why waste a ton of cash on a made up holiday?

Cool gift though.

ceark says:
(# 29) on 02/14/2008 16:45

@daedhead
already sitting on a big pile of money from my degree. since she's getting the same degree, I imagine that pile of money will double >.>

EternalDeathSlayer says:
(# 30) on 02/14/2008 16:59

BTW, you look cooler in black and white. Gives you a mysterious vibe.

jk.

Also, tell me: Is Unreal Tournament 3's community good? Are there a lot of matches to be found? I don't want to buy it and have it turn out like TF2 on 360. I only played once and found 3 matches. Tried the other day, no matches. WTF? Let me know before I dive into this game. Should have my tax return next week.

@Whiteboy
Is it really that bad on 360? The community is quite lively on PS3.

also blog = hidden

@EDS

I just hopped on to check it you and there are about 12 servers up and running with people on them, at least half of them are about half full and three that have reached their player max. Not a good as you'd probably find on the PC, but decent for a console FPS that isn't Halo or COD4.

Continuation from above:
I just realized that I was looking at regular deathmatch only, the numbers get even bigger for the other game modes.

No Offense but I too was wondering what was in that ugly pink bag and I LOVE pink...lol
