G.I. Joe!!!

You know you said it after reading my last post. Don't deny it... that's just sad when you do. So, I created a superhero, but I did it at work (on my lunch break) and I don't have a picture editor with which to pull the picture out. So, I'll have to wait until I get home to show you my superhero. I will tell you up front that he's not me... it's just me having fun with a superhero. Still, you have to understand, my superhero is brown... it's just a given, isn't it? As for linkage, some more has been added and I take offense to the claim that the Australies are stingy with anything that's free. We're quite good at things that don't cost money. Lastly, there hasn't been much going on lately except for trying to find Rogue Squadron III. Being a two-year old game that is no longer in production, it's been troublesome finding a relatively cheap copy. First and foremost, let me say that EB Games SUCKS. They charge more for the used game than the new game. That's just stupid. I understand when certain games are somewhat limited in quantity, but this game?! It's a LucasArts Star Wars game... Lucas had to have produced too many. So, resolving myself to GameStop, I found that Northgate might have some used copies in-stock. I asked my wonderful, beautiful, amazing wife to check for me during her precious lunch break and she, being the loving woman that she is, said she would. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that the game store she needed to check was GameStop and not EB Games and, so, with a $25 price tag, she knew I wouldn't want it and that I could find it much cheaper. She wisely did not purchase it. She also offerred to check Crabtree when she went there this evening. She really is the best. While driving back to the office from helping one of my techs in the field, I spotted a GameStop on Capital Blvd. I swung in and found the BEST GameStop I've ever been in. Their selection is quite good and the guys there are real gamers. They actually know developers, publishers, etc. I *DID* find my copy of Rogue Squadron III for $18.
See, Nick, when you earn the links, I'm not stingy at all. Good job, Gamestop. :)

Thanks for the link. Also, I'm ready to welcome "8Mbps down" to my home. The TW aquisition of Adelphia customers cannot happen quickly enough.
