Super (Smash Bros.) Saturday!

Wow: today climaxed with the release of Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. the only thing that sucked about that was the people that came in talk about, brag about, or otherwise spew nonsense about the game. Here is a collection of stories from today, not all even having to do with Brawl...

Act 1: Brady's...Misfortune
So, as we can probably tell, Brady usually works closes, and not opens, and hence does remember the security code very well, as he never uses it. Well, today was an exception! Brady unlocks the store, heads to the back, but half way through realizes that he has no idea in hades what the password to disarm the security system is. ("Explicative!") So, as Brady keeps his cool, and try's to call Andi to get the code, he is interuptted by the sound of the most excruciatingly painful sound known to him thus far in his LIFE: the security alarm. Well, for some reason, the high pitched noise decides to hang up on Andi, and thus Brady is left with a massive headache and no code. So he journeys to the front of the store in hopes that the phone will allow him at least one call, when the phone rings. It's the first of many people enthralled with the Super Smash Brothers release to call yet today. Well, even with the sirens wailing in the background (and in his head), Brady dutifully informs the infidel of the tournament and the release of the game. After this exchange, Brady steps, half-way out of the store, to call Andi. Well, with the alarm still splitting the hairs of Brady's head, a man walks past the store, with Brady half out of it, pleading with Andi over the phone for the code...imagine his confusion. Well, He disarms the alarm, and continues on with work, when a local Police Officer wanders in, and makes a bee-line for the counter. (Brady is sweating bullets) "Hey Officer!"
"Your door motion sensor went off...do you know what happened?"
"Um...yeah: (and Brady tells him the whole story)"
Then after taking Brady's personal information "In case we need to talk about it..." and leaving, Brady sighs a deep sigh, and thinks to himself: today is NOT going to be a good day.

Turns out, Brady was right.

Act 2: KINGDOM HEARTS P...or was that 3?

So a kid walks in and moves his chubby little glute to the to counter as quick as gravity would let him. Then he proclaims "excuse me...but...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT KINGDOM HEARTS 3??!!!! I LOVE THAT GAME??!?!?!"
Stunned, all Brady can do is stare blankly at him for a second, and then he replies..."It's coming out on PS3"
"It is?!?"
(Having regained his composure)"Yeah, they're actually releasing it kinda like a group of games. One for the PSP, one for the DS, and one on PS3."
"WHHOA, what?"
"Yeah, three games."
"Do you know when they are coming out?"
"Let me check it for you..."(Brady then proceeds to to look up when Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out, but the website he was on was only showing him the Kingdom Hearts for PSP.
"It looks like, 'Birth by Sleep', the one coming for PSP is still TBA"
"Oh, so 'Birth by Sleep' is on the PS3?"
"Nah, it's on the PSP."
"But it HAS to be one that's on PS3, becasue that's the one that EVERYONE is previewing!"
"Well, it's not, it's on the PS...P, not 3."
"You're wrong!"
"No...No...I'm not"
"YES...YOU...ARE!!!" And the KH Kid stormed out of the store.

Good riddance.

Act 3: WTF?!

So this mom walks in, with her kid and they wander around the store for a while. When Brady approaches to see if he can help them, the mom turns on him: "This game not work wight!"
"What seems to be the problem?"
(the kid steps up) "Some times, it doesn't save" (Note: the game is Tak 2: the staff of dreams)
"Oh...kay...lets look at it." Brady then cleans the cartridge (it's a GBA game) and puts it in the demo Gameboy Advance. When he starts to play, he sees that the entire game had been beaten, and somehow (Magically?) it had just saved itself! Well, when Brady brought this up with the parent, she was very irate, and suggested that they be allowed to return the game for another one.
Well, Brady, being the superior intellectual being, looked at the reciept and was so suprised that he had to do a double take: the reciept said that the game purchases was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Once again, when Brady brought this up with the inferior minded fool, she looked almost trecherous, and stormed out of the store, dragging her son by the ear, and yelling at him for being a bad liar.

Wow...what a loss...not.

Act 4: My Soul has been Reaved?

Guess Who?! It's the Soul Reaver Kid! AGAIN! So he walks in, and Brady is in a good mood: (how? I don't know, but he was) And so Brady walks up to him and asks him what he can do to help.
"Nothing"
"Ok...anything you're looking for?"
"YES!"
"...?"
"Majora's Mask, still"
"And we still don't have it, just like every other time you've come in this week asking if we have it, and I'm not adding you to the wish list again, because then you'd just screw up the system."
"I got REsident Evil 1."
"wha?"
"I like it."
WTF?! "Oh, that's...nice..."

And the kid left...again.

Act 5: David vs Goliath

so to celebrate the release of SSB Brawl we had a SSB Melee tournament. many calls throughout the day of veteran competitors asking the rules. finally the time for the tourny arrives. much smack is talked. i personally know of a few pro players who entered. so its looking to be a pretty heated show.
the tournament begins!!!
all goes smoothly. the matches are indeed very epic. as i run the register one of the entrants come to me looking very nervous/sad.
"Hey i got a question for you."
"shoot.."
"have you ever played as sheik before?"
"um yes i have, and so do alot of people here"
"well...umm.....do you know any good moves for her?"
!!!!!!
"i have no idea, sorry"
"oh, okay"

it was a double elimination tourny, he lost both of his rounds right off the bat.
but don't feel too sorrty for him. even though he wasted his $5 entry fee, he was first in line to get Brawl (he did not have a preorder). so maybe his terrible loss...was actually a victory....well.....maybe not.

so concludes our wonderful day of morons. it was great.....kinda.
