I heard that some guy in WoW had an extremely awesome item stolen from him somehow, and he tracked the thief down IRL and killed him.

You might be thinking of this: www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/revenge.html

Its ridiculously funny, but of course completely made up. Now that I think of it, its also possible the author wrote it to make fun of an actual similar occurance Either way, I think it's funny as hell.

Yeah, there was a real event, and it's actually linked on a different part of that site.

Thats excellent.

Speaking of which, I am sad. Once again, I've lacked the drive to go ahead and preorder about 6 of the new console and then sell all but one of them for a ridiculously high amount on ebay. I guess there's always xbox 1080 or ps4. . .

Yes, when my mom heard people were waiting in line at the circuit city and the Target near us, she started saying how dumb they were and stuff. But once she heard how much people were selling them for (In fact, someone that my mom works for bought four and made a profit of over $10,000, no joke ) she wanted to go get in line, too. But I talked her out of it. We wouldn't have gotten one anyway, plus it was raining SO HARD (One guy's tend almost blew away while we were there buying ribbons).

I wish i could see some of this, I'm stuck on campus working on my 3D animation final, which is kicking my arse... I wonder how Times Square's Toys R' Us has faired cus i heard a bunch of guys were heading in that direction

[daft alchemist]

Man. I bet there were so many people there that traffic had trouble getting through the crazed gamer mobs.

[Jalathas]

My friend got one without waiting in line. His mom works for Sony, so she just bought it for him at her employee discount a few days early.

[BugHunter]

cool mom

[daft alchemist]

I swear, if my mom worked at any game company, and she could buy a console early at a discount for me, she'd still tell me I play too many video games and I'd end up buying it myself.

[BugHunter]

responsibility is nice to have

[daft alchemist]

Responsibility is good, but we're talking about someone who blames videogames for everything that went wrong in my life.

[earlofslander]

I sat outside of eb for 4 hours to get my Wii pre-order. Now with it sitting in my living room I can say that those where some of the best spent 4 hours of my life. Anyone else pick on up yet?

[daft alchemist]

I want one really bad! But no...Will says they're sold out at the local EB anyhow.

[Cobra5]

Yeah. We went to EB to get one, but they were gone. I didn't even bother checking in the Gamestop nearby, they didn't even have Wii posters or anything set up (Just PS3 stuff)

[earlofslander]

If you want I know a couple managers at eb and gamestop and can have them keep their eyes out for the next shipments. I don't think they're going to allow any more pre-orders so they'll all be first come first serve. I'm playing Trauma Center and Rayman Raving Rabbids both of which are the sweetness.

[daft alchemist]

Will just told me that he wants you to let him know when they come out so that I can give him money for one or something and he'll get it for me with my money... He totally said that too; like, for real.
