I feel the need to apologize to anyone I have ever played any game with, ever.

Cooking Mama comes out tomorrow for the Wii. Now, for a lot of big games, when you see a date attached to them, it's the in-store date, and when that day comes, you can go and buy the game. But for smaller games, what you sometimes see is the shipping date, and there's no indication one way or the other what date it represents. So, Joystiq had "3/20 Cooking Mama" on their release schedule for this week. I went to Best Buy and they didn't have it in, and said they'd probably get it in tomorrow, but the guy at BB who isn't Darren (aka Beardo McPonytail) and looks kinda like twelve was super nice and helpful. Then, because sometimes Best Buy and Target and the big box stores don't get smaller releases the day they come out, I went over to GameStop as a last resort and the guy there told me it's actually released tomorrow but I SHOULD DEFINITELY GIVE THEM FIVE DOLLARS TO RESERVE THE GAME, OR MY FAMILY WOULD BE DEVOURED BY AXE RAPISTS [which are like axe murderers but worse]. So, I tell him no thanks because that store has mismanaged the few preorders I have put in there and generally not hired anyone who wasn't a stoned idiot, and he says this to my back as I'm walking out the door: "Well then we won't have a copy for you." And then smirks at the dude who I presume is the manager, or at least some other douche working for a company with marginally ethical business practices. Like I said in the subject, I know it's beyond common knowledge that they suck Master Chief's cyborg balls, but I think it still warrants pointing out the obvious question: "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS?"

PS, I miss my laptop, which is busy being poked at by alterna-Beardo at the Mac repair place. :(
