Those at BBoW havn’t been….dickin around have we? The answer is yes, we have. Having so much free time has led to the discovery of Line Rider, and the exploitation of many games such as SSBM and Guitar Hero 2.

Recently I’ve been trying to get a Wii. I camped when it launched, and got one, only to sell it on Ebay. I make some money, but at what cost. Now it’s harder than ever to get one and I want to play it more and more. I woke at 4:30 Black Friday because I heard that stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, and EB were getting another shipment of Wii in. After seeing (no lie) approximately 1000 people in the BB parking lot(F that, I said). I drove to EB and found a tiny line of about 10 ppl. Things were looking up. Waiting in line sucked, because I was in-between 2 parents who knew nothing about the system, what it was called, or even what it looked like. The only reason these parents were here was to ensure that their 10 year old brats got what they wanted the 25th. The front on the line was comprised of smoking hipsters(approx. 15 yrs old) who wouldn’t stop raving about the PS3 they wanted. There also was an annoying Nintendo fan who talked to Parent#1 about the system the entire time.

I waited from 5:15 to 7, when the store opened. I was trying to stay pessimistic about me getting a Wii because I was #13 in-line. Nevertheless it seemed they had many PS3s and Wii. People ahead of me were walking out happy; and those 50 people behind me were looking grave. I caught the salesclerk whisper something to the manager, soon to discover that the Wii was gone……… However, the 3 remaining people in-front of me continued happily because somehow they still had PS3s. Parent #1 didn’t want one, but Mr. Nintendo Boy had informed here that they sell well on Ebay. She walks up to the cashier and says, “Y’all still have those PlayStation things?” He walks back grabs the last one and hands it to her. Thanks Lady. You don’t know what their called, what a Wii looks like, or even how to navigate to Ebay and you ninja the last PS3. I admit I would have sold the PS3, but after fetching at least 500$ extra bucks I would promptly have bought a Wii for 350. In the end 6 Wiis and 6 PS3 were all they got, leaving #13 with a wasted morning. It turns out the parents behind me were waiting for a pink DS Lite…rofl.
