You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thrive to spite them

In NON BSG news, I made an impulse buy during the Black Friday weekend. I had talked about getting an Xbox One - they are so new and shiny and cool (or a PS4 also shiny and new and cool).

But there was an Xbox bundle - with 4 games on a huge reduction so I took it. I'm now running around looking like a drunken goat in Assiasin's Creed (not one of the games, I bought that one).

My gamer tag is sjtennant.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

So new Xbox or 360? I do love Assassins Creed. The original game got a bit repetitive. But I could do it! So I loved it!

Sorry I thought I put that in there. The 360.

The Xbox Ones, are still in short supply, I think my store has a very small amount they are giving out tomorrow, and if employees are off they clock they can go stand in line like everyone else. But it's a lot of money and a lot of the 360 games are cheap.

I hear that. Several articles said it'd be better to wait on both consoles, as the price is likely to drop next year, and inventory will be higher. Given how few games there are for the new consoles, it wasn't seen as a good time to buy, unless your old console died, and you were jonesing for a game console.

Hmm, maybe I should look at buying a couple new games, if the 360 titles are dropping in price. I hate paying $50 for a game.

The newer ones are still around the same - like Call of Duty Ghosts is still full price for 360 and PS3 (although there was a black friday sale) but just from my basic look around the store it looks like older titles are dropping.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

In non-BSG news, I played Gone Home last night. Anyone else played it? It helps if you don't even think of it as a game but instead as a unique storytelling experience.
