About
Stacy Kidd is a 20 year old fantasist who enjoys writing about videogames, society and gadgetry. She hopes one day to work in the creative industries, although she can't quite tell you exactly what she wants out of life yet.

This blog contains the remnants of shop-based life, though owing to up-and-coming Internet posting laws, I will probably stop soon seeing as I do not want to lose my million-pound contract.

A ranting little ditty I constructed a week or so before the 25th, when poor games store staffing such as myself were contemplating SUICIDE, and such things

No sooner than the Nintendo Wii bares its magical arse on UK store shelves once more, than the DS disappears mysteriously from what appears to be the face of the planet. Where are all these consoles rendezvousing? Stripper clubs, maybe. Or maybe they're quaking in their chemical-filled plastic shells because Greenpeace have waggled their green finger at them for being...well, chemical-filled plastic shells, I suppose.

Lucky for their delicately-finished casing then that customers don't really seem to have noticed. Speaking of which, I wish you would make up your fudging mind you bunch-of-bananas consumers. Do you want a DS or do you want a Wii? Or do you want a kick up the hoo-haa because you can't ever make your mind up? I'll administer all but the first two, free of sodding charge.

The days are getting longer, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm sick. I'm sick of long nights and even longer days. I'm sick of Christmas songs that make me want to beg my practitioner to book me in for an ear-decapitation. I'm sick of seeing cut-price advent calendars and being tempted to buy them and sit on my couch in a depressed manner, scoffing them all in one sitting. And most of all, I'm sick of the false hype, sold out products and price changing, because my nails are starting to break.

Hello and welcome to Destructoid.
Great first post and I hope to hear more from you.
Just put up an avatar and you'll be on you're way.
Sorry, it is your not you're.
I know many people who working in gaming retail and it is just as bad here as it is on your side of the pond.
thank you much! i'm a bit new to all this, but i have been an avid viewer of these blogs for a while, no doubt many more postings and commenting to be issued :)
Get an avatar, though.
You must like mine to Eschatos.

Also iplayanken, nicely written first post, it was very touching as one would say. I have no emotions except for when I get pissed off AT XBL because it doesn't want to fucking work and curse at everyone :P

Bah my emotions are showing....NO!!!!!!!1

You're a curse I hope you know that xD

Welcome anyways.
Welcome to d'toid.

Christ i can only imagine how insane it was in the UK.

Here in Ireland it was pretty intense also. Couple of my friends working in retail swore to me that they will not be working it come next xmas! :)
Avatar sorted, and customers gagged :D
