"In history of Rock 301 we learn about the history of rock music."
"And the we ROCKED OUR FACES OFF!"
-Muarice, Accepted
Yes its true. I started out this blog with a quote from Accepted. If you haven't seen it, it's not a bad movie to rent. That quote is one of my favorites from the entire movie. Surprisingly it is also what I did most of saturday afternoon.
You see, I was just chilling at home with my lil brother and we were obviously both bored. We have a stockpile of old Playstation 2 games, along with some scattered Xbox games. For Christmas last year we were able to procure a Playstation 3 and so some of our older games are just plain sucky.
With that in mind we gathered up all of our un-played games, and I even threw in my Xbox to take to Game Stop to trade them in for some new games. Our ultimate goal was to get NCAA 09 so that I could play my friend Haggy online and never have to leave the comforts of my AC at home. I could also see epic battles of Ducks and Beavers for months before the real thing actually took place.
Our gaming geek who runs his shop like well oiled machine finally was able to tally up all our trade ins. Coming to a grand total 170 dollars. With that the wheels in my head began to spin. And my little kid inside me (who's not nearly as repressed as the fat kid.) looked around the store for something... ANYTHING worth 170 bucks.
Sidebar. When I get bored I have a tendency to solve my boredom in perhaps a little unorthodox way. Retail Therapy. That's right. I like to buy things. It makes me feel better. Now, I don't go all woman and shop for clothes or shoes I tend to buy electronics, video games, and movies. Although I'm not going to lie, a nice pair of shoes can solve a lot of problems. (which also reminds me, that last statement doesn't make me gay, it makes me look gay.)
So after glancing around the store, I found it. I knew it had to be mine.
Me: "Hey dude, how much is Rock Band?"
Gaming Geek: "it's $170."
Me: (with eyes
