About Me
My recent biggest love is rhythm games; I can't get enough Rock Band a/o Guitar Hero. I'm also a fan of the RPG, WoW, and Zelda and Metroid games.

Currently I'm playing the above and saving up for a 360 so that I can bring RB into my own house, as well as a few other titles (Assassin's Creed, maybe Mass Effect for principled side boob, Portal).

No, I don't have a picture. But I went to the hospital in Portland, OR, today to have lunch with my fiancee and saw in the hospital gift shop a Wii for sale for the above low low price.

Does that offend anyone else? I know this type of thing isn't new, but I guess I was just shocked to see the rape-n-pillage take place in a hopsital gift shop.

Oddly enough (at least for me, a person fortunate enough not to have spent a significant amount of time in hospitals), the shop also sold televisions, panties (not used, that I could tell), perfume, and stale candy (our raison d'entree). The rest seemed reasonably priced.

Oh, and they had no less than six security cameras within 6 feet of the front door. The shop itself was barely 15' x 15'.

hey, hospitals need money to cure cancer. The Wii apparently wasn't printing money fast enough.

I heard the PS3 cures cancer. They should sell those.

I really wanted to ask how long that particular Wii had been on the shelf, but I was afraid of the answer.
