After working 2 shifts at Gamestop I've come to the following conclusions:

1. I love talking about games with peers but I'm tired of explaining the difference between the PSP and the DS
2. I like getting insider information and previews of games that are coming out but I don't like being tempted with things I can't afford for 6 hours at a time.

In addition to explaining the subtle differences between handhelds and next-gens, I'm tired of telling people we're out of pre-orders for the PS3 and the Wii. I did convince some guy to get RE4 today, even though it's the PS2 version.
We're getting Wii demostations soon and I'm kinda excited about that. We have a used version of Children of Mana, even though it's not released yet. The manager got an advanced copy, played it, and turned it in. Apparently the game sucks because you can't equip the weapons you acquire in a dungeon until you get to a save point. Which is... RETARDED.
I was thinking about getting a used 360 with my discount but without an HD TV I won't get the full effect of the almost $400 console. That and I can't afford the non-Nintendo next-gen prices. Which means... I'm just waiting for the Wii.
Take note!! The spin-off that is coming from Final Fantasy 12 is going to the DS. Not the PSP. A slap in the face from SquareEnix to Sony. What'd the five fingers say to the face?
One more thing! One of the employees at Gamestop who grabbed one of the four employee-only Wii reserves is probably gonna have to give it up and I'm gonna grab that shit. What's that sound? Oh yeah. 15% discount.

Now for the big news. My idiot dog managed to lock my ass out of my apartment. She locked the deadbolt that doesn't have an exterior keyhole. The maintenance guy and I had to stand outside and try to pry the window up while banging on the window frame just below the lock. I mentioned breaking it and he was like "Nah, I don't wanna have to do that or replace that." and I was all "Totally." but during the process of prying that shit... it cracked. So we just broke a hand-sized hole and we opened the lock on the window and crawled in. 3 neighbors came out to see what all the fucking ruckus was about and another of them called the police. It turned out to be not that bad, considering they're gonna replace the window tomorrow morning but... still. Shit.
