CarrionCrow: Offline is errands.

Offline is Walmart, the urge to drink and the urge to kill.
Amusingly enough, those two urges tend to happen most frequently while at a Walmart as well. -laughs-

Speaking of, saw the most screwed up comparison of items while there a couple days ago.

I'm killing time in the electronics section, as I pretty much always do since Walmart doesn't have anything else that interests me, and what do I see but a boxed set of Cowboy Bebop.
Was quite pleasantly surprised by that.

Then, I go to look at games, and I see a Duck Dynasty game.
"Okay," I thought, "shovelware's always around. I'm not surprised."

But then, I take a closer look. The Duck Dynasty game was put out for the X-Box One.

What kind of rat bastard psychotic makes a Duck Dynasty game for what's supposed to be current gen, the supposed current peak of video games?

And then I looked at the price. It wasn't 10, or 20. They want 40 dollars for that piece of shit.

Living in a world where the splendor of Cowboy Bebop and the inbred, trailer park, fuck dungeon where transients are held to be tortured with implements made solely out of half-rusted Budweiser can metal-level madness of a current-gen Duck Dynasty game exist in the same space is hurting my head a bit, quite honestly.

innocuous77: Agreed - with me, that will only end in a mess.

CarrionCrow: Oh yes, they have one. It's pretty much my refuge every time I have to step foot in the gods-forsaken place.
Well, that and having a phone that can play music really loudly. I bring my heavy computer headphones along, then blast something loudly enough that the phone puts out a silly warning about hearing loss at high volume levels.

Every time I see that, I want to tell the phone, "If you were going to Walmart, you'd wish for deafness too. Now shut the fuck up and play my music louder."

I could look to see what kinds of fetid shit the game contains, but then I'm reminded of a pen and paper game named Call of Cthulhu.
In it, player characters suffer sanity damage in response to witnessing horrible things.
I took enough of that seeing the box, so I shudder to think how much I'd lose actually digging into the particulars of that abomination.

And yes, I am not kidding. Forty dollars. Dark Souls 2 was right above it for 30, and when I noticed that, I kinda wanted to scream.

innocuous77: Now you're just messin' with me:) You had me until Laura:)

Antimateria: I'm always messing with people when I use survival horror in every game especially kirby island.

innocuous77: Win!

innocuous77: I actually remember Call of <He Who Shall Not Be Named> - I was at a disadvantage because I grew up in OK.

Dark Souls 2 was cheaper? It's a better game! (Hell, so is Tic Tac Toe - minus the toe, because I'm evil)... Who the hell is their audience and how can I separate their money from them?

Antimateria: I did actually win that game.. it was pretty good win. =P

CarrionCrow: Love, it was a frigging Walmart, so the selection was piss poor, and I STILL could have picked no less than two dozen items that were infinitely better while being cheaper.

I'd say that's already in progress.
Any time you see something related to that bullshit, you're watching a marketing brigade do a brilliant job of getting idiots to part with their coin in exchange for validation that being a sub-literate, delusional, racist, homophobic dumbshit really isn't all that bad since other sub-literate deluded racist homophobic dumbshits get to be on TV.

Antimateria: I did actually win that game.. it was pretty good win. =P

CarrionCrow: Shame it was put out by Bethesda.
If someone else had done it, it'd probably have less bugs and I might be willing to buy the thing.

innocuous77: Love, you know I can do this for a living. I just refuse to use my powers for evil (unless the paycheck is big enough, then of course). I think even I, with my total lack of programming skills, could have out a DOS stick figure game, slapped a duck on it and made some bank.

Idiot <----- me

CarrionCrow: Shame it was put out by Bethesda.

CarrionCrow: Don't be too hard on yourself. There's always more stupidity coming along to take advantage of. ;)
