WHERES A HOSE WHEN YOU NEED ONE!!

 
 
So, its the 31st. Beyond being Halloween, the greatest holiday ever, today has another VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTION!  Can you guess what it is? Can you, can you, huh huh huh???
 
No, its not the opening of ANOTHER Starbucks right across the street from the one that opened last month. Thats not it. Guess again.
 
Nope, it isnt free frosty day at Wendys. Although that'd be nice..
 
No, I'm not talking about the release of Final Fantasy 12, no one here cares about FF anyway. If we did, we'd be playing it instead wouldnt we.
 
Ok, let me help you out on this one. I can see the smoke pouring from your ears.
 
Today is the release of Neverwinter Nights 2. So I headed on over to the local Gamestop with preorder slip in hand, needing only to be handed my copy so I could haul ass out the door, head home at well over 100 mph, install that bad boy, and get cracking on the new Jova.
 
STOP PANICKING I SAID!!! I knoooow we started on it 15 days ago.. I knoooow. but you have to consider, until we've PLAYED THE GAME, we have no freaking idea how its going to work. Very easily could someones intense labor turn into a fruitless and frustrating experience. So all work has been very general and mostly for educational purposes. Getting familiar with it, ya know?
 
So anyway, standing at the counter with the slip clutched in my left hand, I waited for my turn. The little fat kid in front of me trying to beg his mother for.. something. Now if ANYONE doesnt need to be playing video games, its this sweaty little porker in front of me. This kid had to be 9 years old and already weighed atleast 150 lbs. Seriously, lay off the biggie sizing, and its moms fault. So after he's done and he starts waddling away, its my turn.
 
Awww yeah, this is it. Show time. Lets get to it. Gimmie my shit.
 
"Hey, what can I do for you"
 
"I'm here to pick up Neverwinter Nights 2"
 
"Let me see if its in..."
 
-Now wait a minute.. its after 12pm and he has to LOOK to see if its come in?
 This isnt looking good at all.. My heart drops a little
 
"Hmm.. its not due in until tomorrow. Im showing today was the SHIP date."
 
"Umm.. My preorder ticket here says it was DUE in today"
 
"Well it isnt going to be here until tomorrow"
 
"Well what time tomorrow"
 
-Hey, I wonder if I can syphon enough gas out of my car to burn this piece down. Seriously, GIMMIE MY DAMN GAME
 
"Probably after noon"
 
"Fine"
 
"Have a nice night"
 
"Yeah, **** you too"
 
So I was outside looking for a hose tonight.......

I was out looking for it too on the 31st as well for my b-day present. I was a little ticked to hear that. It's just mean to have your heart set on something soooo great and then suddenly get kicked in the crotch.
