Once When "Limited Edition" Meant Something...

Wow, haven't been on here in a while. Truthfully, I forgot I even still had this blog. Sad, I know. Nonetheless, this is perfect as I have some shit on my mind and I want to get it off my chest.

1. Game studios, and many others for that matter, need to learn what the term "Limited Edition" means. I keep going to stores and seeing countless copies of the "Limited Edition" of Killzone 3, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (not Revelations), Batman: Arkham Asylum (not Arkham City), and Bioshock 2. What was so "Limited" about these additions? Here's a hint...if you produce over a million of them, you are not allowed to used the term "Limited Edition." Instead, use "Collector's Edition," which will help people like me that keep falling for the "Limited Edition" crap not feel so stupid for spending extra money and seeing these things marked down cheaper than the standard editions of the game.

2. While exiting a Walmart (for those in the STL, the Chesterfield Valley location) I was approached by manager and proceeded to have a spirited debate regarding the fact that I took some pictures on my camera phone of the line they had (Black Friday crowd). While this went on for five minutes (including him threatening to have the police take my phone) the alarm goes off after like five people walk out the store. I really and truly hope they stole at least $500 worth of merch, if not more. Great job holding down the fort manager guy. BTW, I didn't delete the pics that you just watched me delete. Way to go dumbass.

3. Speaking of Walmart, I could have sworn that if the Customer Service counter is closed, you couldn't make a return. Somebody please tell this to the Walmart in Gravois Bluffs. Seriously, five registers open at 11pm, four of them tied up with people making returns. Nothing like being next in line and waiting over 30 minutes to ring out.

4. Target, please go 24 hours so I don't have put up with this shit.

5. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback had better not be reelected when his term is over, nor should he be elected to anything ever again. He cried when an 18 year old girl tweeted about him. Did the little girl hurt your feelings, Sam? Grow a pair and learn that section of the Constitution regarding free speech before you make anymore insane demands. Yeah, he actually wants her high school to toss her out if she doesn't apologize. Call me crazy, but I didn't think they elected five year old's as governor.

There. All better and much cheaper than therapy. Later folks.
