Sweet Countdown Joy.
Less than 5 days until Halo 3 !

A clan mate of mine at http://www.8bitbrigade.com/ almost had Halo 3 today. I will post his story here.



Okay, today I decided to go to my local Target today after school to pick up some of the new Halo ActionClix. On my way out I decide to take a little detour into the video game section. I go down the 360 isle and I see something in the corner of my eye that looked like a retail version of Halo 3. So I go back to check it out and low and behold:

TARGET HAD JUST PUT OUT FULL RACKS OF HALO3!

I almost shit my goddamn pants! They had the racks filled of Halo3 Standard and Limited Edition copies. So without hesitation, I ask the guy who just finished putting them up of he could hand me a copy of the Limited Edition. I then RAN to the closest register and then had the lady ring it up. The lady rings it up and asks for my money and hands me the game in a bag. Just before the money could touch her hand a siren goes off. It comes from the register and in large red text it says. "DO NOT SELL UNTIL 9/25/07". Needless to say my heart hit the floor. She then went to a superior to ask what was up. The superior comes over and asks if I got this from the rack. I said yes. Then she starts debating whether or not to just punch in the numbers and sell it to me anyway. These are the exact words I said: "I could've sworn it came out today." The line worked. She range me up, gave me my change and started to head for the door. Then I hear a loud yelp. "Hey, come back!" I look at her and she was waving me back. I then see a big musclular security gaurd start to come at me. This was my moment to either go back and see what she wants or bolt for the door trying to dodge the most fit security guard target has ever hired. Then, true to my nature, I pussy out and go back to the lady. She said that I can't walk out with that game or someone might be fired. I wanted to say, "So what?!" but then I was reminded of the huge security guard that was still walking towards me. I then gave back the game to her and got my cash back. Needless to say, they yelled at eachother and argued who was responsible for putting them out, and had the guy take them all down.

I am so crushed right now. It felt as if I had just given birth to the perfect child, just to have it ripped from my hands. It was like finding the holy grail and then dropping it into a bottomless pit. I swear I could feel the warmth eminating from the case, and now that warmth is gone. I should have fucking ran. God! Now its going to be really damn hard for me to wait for Tues. when stores already have it in the back.

Well anyway, that's how my day was today.
I did however pick up some Halo Actionclix. They are pretty badass. They are well sculpted.



We all told him he should have kept walking and not look back in the first place. It was a legal transaction and there was nothing they could really do about it except to try and guilt trip him into giving it back.

I can't get excited about Halo 3, not sure why but ever since Halo 2 which I didn't really enjoy I lost interest in the series. I'll play it but haven't bothered to pre-order or anything
