The usual insanity

... and enjoy that waffle. I braved black friday crowds (I lie the roads where pretty empty) at the early hour of 11am to go and get Left 4 Dead 2 for $30 and actually had to visit two different Gamestops to get a copy. It's, worth $30, it is fun, but still not worth $50. Ransim was impatiently staring at me while I dithered on installing the game and we have now played all 5 campaigns together and...

Gamestops and EB Game stores all over the country will be hosting a midnight release party for those true gamers who want the game the minute it is released.

Okay, Rob and I, and probably Justin, are going to complain about this on a podcast supplemental tomorrow, but I'm posting it here. Northeast U.S. GameStops Selling Modern Warfare 2 Early (Link includes my comment thread.) I commented on there quite angrily, as I imagine that we will in a supplemental podcast recording tomorrow.

On a completely different note, one of the Gamestops/EB Games that I went to said they'll probably give me a call about my application. Yessss.

SERIOUSLY NOW??

... FCC customer service job I did: the manager was temporary as well.  That turns out that two out of three of my past employment can't be contacted.  I'm thinking just including the two different gamestops as 1 job and listing my old manager?  Would that be dishonest? ON THE BRIGHT SIDE At the end of this semester, I can start applying for a REAL job at various hospitals around.  However, I still ...
