so i got no sleep
so yeah, good story,
Thursday, ok, normal day, filled with WoW among other things, yes, i started playing the online addiction, its pretty fun but it takes so long to do stuff, time really flies when playing it. But before i go off track, heres what went on, at about 11 i started working upon a poly sci paper which was rather easy and while working on that i was surfing the internet for the Wii of course because well, i have decided to go for it as PS3 is too expensive. So i surfed and found out that friday was the day you could actually reserve it, now thats important because if you don't reserve it you are caught in the post thanksgiving rush for systems...and that is a pain in the butt, N64 taught me that lesson before. so after my roomate came back i was like hey, dude we gotta go on a mission from god, we must reserve a wii for ourselves tomorrow...and after some banter we agreed to wake up at like 630 to wait at the local gamestop (there were two others across the street in the mall (like Hanover but in NH). this was at 1am mind you...we went to bed immediately....ONLY to be woken up at 2AM by a fire drill...some stupid kids never learn...they just won't its wrong to do these things at night, it is disturbing, and a pain. So i didn't get back in for a half hour and not back to sleep until 330...
FRIDAY!
so i woke up at six thirty slept in for another fifteen minutes and then we set out...we got to the gamestop early enough to find like six people outside, i thought oh god we can't get it now, we are too late, but my roomate was like well i know my local gamestop about the same size as this had forty reserves...so i think we are good...well we were and the manager ...who was there at six (four hours before the store opened was giving tix to people who wanted to reserve it. So my roomate got #14 and i #15 out of 32 reserves...that was pretty lucky, so we were waiting with the people who were here before us and they broke out a car battery, inverter, a gamecube, and a TV and we played Smash bros all morning. about two hours before the store opened the power decided to die and the manager said for everyone with debit or credit cards or tradeins, to go get cash, i was ok as i had cash but everyone went flying away. so we waited and they got back and we lined up at 9 so those who got there late (by this time the reserves were handed out but just had to go through the register at 10 when they legally could do so) did not see people just walk in later on haphazardly to reserve, basically those who could reserve were first in line so it could be done so the manager could tell poeple that she was set for reserves and couldn't do anymore. So ten rolls around and i reserved a Wii (payed for in full so i definitely have it nomatter what) twilight princess, and an extra controller because i plan on making this system multiplayer. 287 all together. Went back to school got no sleep til 1 am. it was a good day however and brits party rocked, watched avatar and appa was stolen, it was sad because that flying bison is awesome.
but yeah, it was good altogether.
why a new system? backwards compatibility is a big one (i can sell off the old ones and get more space for my media setup because the cube does not fit in a small area for dvd players) new controller is also major, i saw that thing and you really got to see it in action to be like wow, this is freakin awesome. it can surf the web easily, so i don't have to worry about too much when i have no computer, i can just go into my room and use the tv (i plan on getting fast internet next summer)
so yeah, the wii shall arive soon, now to just wait and have fun
