A couple of interesting things happened on my trip to buy Dragon Age at GameStop today. The place is about a 1.5 mile walk away from work. I took the underground muni train to get there quicker. Once I arrived I noticed that every single pillar had Left 4 Dead 2 ads on them at the underground Muni train stop. I wondered if it was related to the GameStop being 2 blocks away or if Microsoft Xbox Live is really working the ads. The little ads on the walls had one every other or 2 in spots as well. That must be intimidating to non-gamers because it’s no longer Halloween. lol
L4D2 ad invasion !
The other thing was going to GameSTOP and not seeing the game anywhere. I called on my walk to the Muni station so I knew that they had some PC copies. I heard some guy in line ask for the game and the GameStop dude went through the list of telling the guy what they had. I ended up getting the last PC copy they had left in the store location. When I went to hand over my gift card they asked me for my identification card because it was a mature game. I thought they were joking, but they were serious. Two of the people at the check out asked me my birth date at the same time. I also had my GameSTOP card on me for them to look my birth date up in the system. They did apologize and explain that going forward everyone has to show an identification card to purchase mature games. :/ I guess it was a compliment if not a little one for them to think I wasn’t of age to purchase the game.’That’s all I have to share for now. I am actually in a little time constraint tonight. A variety of time sinks shall occur.
The installation of this game, the new V show airs tonight on ABC, homework assignment due, and I want to play this game with no interruptions.
