Confirmed, as you can see in the pic above which i took today at approx 1:30pm...
7-Eleven will be getting Resident Evil 5, The Sims 3, Street Fighter IV, and Halo Wars... this looks to be their first batch of games of 09, and hopefully if their past record is anything to go by, this is the place to go to get your gaming fix early!
let me elaborate. i was doing stuff in the front room one night, the wife was in the bedroom... i think i was deep into fallout 3 and didn't want to break the zone i was in by going in the bedroom (to the bathroom) and have to talk to her...
so i went in the sink. maybe more than once, but it was the same night, there were no dishes, i do them, nothing sits in the sink.
later she commented the sink was stanky, and i took (silent) personal offense to that statement i mean... water goes down there all the time, why is my peepee any different?
i think she knows.
anyways, that's why i'm asking, be good, don't pee in the sink because she'll know... somehow or another.
i thought i'd share some of the characters i've created in Rock Band 2... below are my fellow bandmates.. feel free to post yours in the comments below, i'd really dig seeing other people's creations!
so today i picked up my copy of Mirror's Edge from the evil GamePlop, only reason being they were giving out the free yellow runner's bag as used by faith, the game's main character.
well it most definitely was one of the coolest game freebies i've ever seen, the quality is evident as it seems surprisingly well made, but i immediately thought, 'what the hell am i going to do with this?'. first off it's a courier bag that's meant to be worn over the shoulder, aka a man purse. b), it's yellow. and fourthly, maybe i could sport it if my style was a lame faux hawk hairdo while wearing an xtra medium t-shirt 2 sizes too small and my sister's jeans, but i don't roll like that. plus i just have too much shit in my tiny one bedroom apartment at the beach and my significant other... she would prefer i didn't collect EVEN MORE useless shit. so i threw it up on ebay about 5 hours ago...
and with 6 1/2 days left on the auction block it's already fetching over $30... if i can hit the sweet $65 mark i made my money back and got a free Mirror's Edge, and anything over that is just bonus!
so if you can part with your precious game swag you too can get a FREE Mirror's Edge (as long as you preordered it from GamePlop, that is)!
went to 7-11 today on my break during work and lo-and-behold, there's GoW2... the same clerk who sold me Fallout 3 a day early sold me GoW2 today, 2 days early! Woohoo! He even told me to come early for Call of Duty World at War, that guy is my hero! 7-Eleven is my new favorite game stop!
just got it, i asked if it was going to be on sale at midnight and he said, "i'll sell it now, who the fuck is going to stop me?". oh thank heaven..
** 7-eleven will be getting quite a few games this holiday season (call of duty waw, resistance 2, among others).. maybe we found a way to get some games a few days early! too bad they don't offer preorder extras :(
