I finished my christmas shopping today.

OK, Why the fuck did my niece ask for a farking Gamecube? Trying to find a suitable Gamecube game that wasn't rated M in the Bargain bin was a major fucking pain in the ass!!!!! Why couldn't she have made my life easier by asking for a PS2 or even an XBox instead! I would have had a better selection, I would have been out of there quicker, and I would have finished my shopping earlier!

Such is the life of an impoverished college student.

1. Damn!

That's one of the things my son asked for. Was the gamecube hard to find, or just the games for it? I haven't even STARTED my Christmas shopping yet.

2. Well,

I did all my searching in the $20 bargain bin. It was chock full of PS2 and Xbox games, but hardly any gamecube stuff. The games themselves are not hard to find, most retailers have the Gamecube games in the same place as the PS2 and Xbox stuff.

3. Have you tried Electronics Boutique? (EB)

I get a lot of my games there, they have the pre-owned games for usually under $20. (People take advantage of the generous return policy by buying the game, beating it in a week, and then returning it, so they're generally in new condition) Should have a pretty good selection too. Doesn't it also come with a Zelda package now too?

4. No EB in my area.

All we have in Marinette are Wal-Mart, ShopKo, and K-Mart. The closest EB used to be in the Downtown mall in Green Bay, but it jumped ship a long time ago, along with about half of the other stores in that mall. Trust me, walking through that place can be a depressing experience sometimes.

5. Nintendo releases Rated M games now days?

What's the score? Sugar-coated magical pixies that shoot bubbles at naughty truancy gremlins and occasionally scratch their crotches?
