How to be disappointed and delighted at the same time

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 6:09 pm

So anyway, there I was waiting outside my local gamestation ready to pick up my CE, only 2 minutes till opening, it's a mild morning, folk going about their everyday business.
The doors open and I eagerly step up to the counter and hand the receipt over to the guy serving, he looks at the receipt and say sorry we cannot release this until to tomorrow, I say but it's unlocked tonight!, he says sorry but we cannot sell it to you till after midnight, as you can imagine I'm grinding my teeth at this point.

Then the manager of the shop speaks up and tells me they are having a midnight release, now under normal circumstances I would have given a big woohoo, but this is my town on a friday night we are speaking about, travelling through it that late comes with a health warning!, I have seen the beasts of the night, they make skyrim look tame, you will recognize these savage beasts as they take up their mating rituals, posed like a gorilla and roaring out sounds such as "come and get some of this babe" to the half naked skinny hairless females of the species, with the female of the species shouting back "#£%$ off!!"; it is truly a wilderness out there, and tonight I shall brave all to get my hands on my prize!!

Be safe. While getting stabbed on your journey to purchase Skyrim would be a noble death, no one wants to see that happen :P.

Just arm yourself with a sturdy fire ball spell and you'll be fine, just make sure your stocked up on some mana potions as well.

Dont forget the fireball spell and the mana potions! You don't want to be caught in a pickle without them!!!!

If it was Glasgow, i would have suggested purchasing a few bottles of Buckfast tonic wine and lobbing them at any burberry clad youths that may come your way :tongue:
Good luck man, and in the immortal words of Sergeant Phil Esterhaus..."Hey, lets be careful out there".
