No PS2 for me! :(
After work, I decided to check a 24 hour Wal-Mart near me to see if they had any Playstation 2s. I was told that several people were camping at the store since 6 AM on the 25th. Yes, they had waited at the store 18 hours to get a PS2 at midnight. Of course none were left.
I then went to another Wal-Mart, one that isn't 24 hour. I got off work at 6 AM, and the Wal-Mart opened at 7 AM. I got to the store at around 6:45 AM, and saw that a few people were waiting outside. I knew that particular Wal-Mart had exactly six PS2s sitting inside. It looked like there was around six people standing at the doors too, so I figured perhaps that some of the people may be together, and there would be still a chance I could nab a PS2. Well, as I got to the door, I asked "so are ALL of you getting a PS2, or are some of you together?" One person responded. He was like "we're all getting one, we have vouchers." He then held up some red piece of paper. I'm like WTF? This Wal-Mart wasn't reserving them. The guy continued on that they had all been waiting there since 8 PM on the 25th, and were allowed to reserve a system. They just had to wait there to make sure they got it.
Oh well. I still think the PS2 sucks. It doesn't even bother me that much that I didn't get one. That just leaves more money on my credit cards for Dreamcast games. :)
Oh yeah, like last week I got a job at a wonderful place known as WHITE CASTLE. Yes kids, fast food... Everyone knows how FUN that is. I think it sucks already without even being there a full week yet. But there is ONE thing that is certainly keeping me there. THE PAY. DAMN does this place pay good! They pay close to TWICE as much as what McDonald's paid me when I worked there while going to school. They also pretty much pay what my last job did - of course it's a lot harder than my last job though. :/
While listening to an Internet radio show, I heard a very amusing song. It was a rock and roll remix of the Contra music (from the 8-bit Nintendo).
I shortly found out from an IRC chat room that it was by a band called Minibosses.
Their page can be found here: http://www.minibosses.com/. They have a lot of MP3s of various Nintendo game music they have redone.
I liked their Castlevania songs (1 and 2), Contra song, and Ghost N Goblins song.
Check 'em out.
