(dude, if i wanted all that info, i would've just looked it up in wikapedia okay??? all i asked was when's the release date! sheesh) secondly.... they think i'm dumb just because i'm a girl. i can't tell you how many countless times i've gotten into a convo with some clerk about whatever........ let's just take the FF series for instance, and when they go into their diatribe about how great that game is and how they just looooooooooooved the graphics and the battle system (even though they're practically all the same) and how sqeenix is the best gaming company since sliced bread.... when i start talking about game play and certain parts of the game (i.e. did you notice such and such a thing that allows you to find such and such weapon etc etc....) they have to trip all over their tongue because the truth of the matter is...... everything they know they learnt in a ripped up copy of nintendo power and have, in fact, only played enough of the game to "impress" "dumb girls" *RAWR* one last thing..... IF I WANT YOUR PHONE NUMBER I'LL ASK YOUUUUUUU sheesh! just because we're cute geeky gaming girls that does not mean we can't get boyfriends any place else!!!!!!!!! (although sometimes the clerks are uber hot!) =D BUT STILL! these are the reasons why i don't like going -end diatribe- and this isn't EVERYONE so if you happen to work at these places then please don't take offense. it just ends up that way practically everytime i go into one of these places. =)
