boring.....GTA IV DAY!!!!

so the past couple of weeks have been very uneventful, in the ways of morons that is. very busy sales wise, but not much else. i would have really liked to update but if i did that i would just be making up stuff and thats not cool.



so 2 days ago was Grand Theft Auto IV day. it might as well have been a national holiday by how hyped that game was. i gotta say though, i wasn't much of a fan of GTA III and its expansions or spin offs or whatever you wanna call them, but i bought GTA IV and it was actually pretty cool. I'm not gonna write a review or anything but just thought i'd let you know that this is actually a pretty fun game.



anyways.....we get our shipment of GTA IV in about 3 o'clock (supposed to be earlier but FedEx decided to screw us over.). it was flying off the shelves as you can imagine. everyone who bought it looked to be in their mid 20s to late 30s (much facial hair and balding, not to judge, but hey come-on.) so there really wasn't a need to "card" them on it when they bought it. towards the end of the day a small boy, probably like 10-12 years old came in and headed strait for the GTA IV case on the shelf.



"can i help you bro?"



"umm.....I'd like to buy this game."



he plops GTA IV on the counter.....like I'm gonna sell this kid that of all things.



"Sure thing man, you just need your parents here and then i can get this one for you."



he looked very stunned that i would refuse to sell it to just him. he quickly diverted his gaze to his shoes and did not make eye contact the rest of the conversation.



"oh....umm.....thats ok I already have all of them so i can get this one."



oh how many times have i heard that one before...



"Sorry, i either need to see your parents or proof that you are 17 in order for me to sell this to you, especially for GTA IV."



"well...I've played it and i don't think it deserves that rating, so i can buy it anyway"



"There are may games out there that are rated "M" that don't deserve the rating at all, but trust you me, GTA IV DEFINITELY deserves that rating."



just give up kid, your not going to win this.



"umm...well....FYE across the street will sell it to me!"


"Well thats cool, but if you want to buy it here i will need your parents presence or proof that you are 17."


he began mumbling and groaning uncontrollably for about a minute. after that he plopped the game on the counter, walked out the door, and started heading the way OPPOSITE of FYE.

foolish mortal.....I am invincible!!!!
