Post of the Day

Today, and yesterday, have been exciting. Yesterday I played in the type two tournament at The Dragon's Table. I went 1-2-1, not very good but I had fun. After I did some testing with Jimmy. I did pretty good. I also played an interesting game called Guillotine. It was pretty fun and I wouldn't mind playing it again.

Today was especially interesting. I went over to Electronics Boutique to reserve the GTA: Double Pack for the XBox. The week before, I had gone their and talked to a lady their. I asked her how much I could get in trade for both GTA3 and GTA: Vice City. She said that since it was a trade towards a new game I could get $20 for both of them together. Today when I went to Electronics Boutique they told me that I would only get $19 for both. I thought this was wrong, but they wouldn't change their minds and it was just a dollar difference. As I am trading them in, the lady asks me if want the PS2 version. I ask her why I would want to trade in for the same thing I am trading, she tells me that some people want the new box. I tell her that is stupid and that I wanted the XBox version. As I go to pay for it and the lady tells me it will cost $34.74 after tax. I thought about this for a minute and it doesn't make since, how could I be paying $3.74 tax on something that cost $31? I ask why this is, and she tells me it is because the tax is added before the game trade. I say this isn't right because I am only paying $31 dollars real money. I try to explain this to her, and then she tells me I will get back the tax once I pick up the game. I ask her will it be cash, she reassures me it will be. Then right as I am getting ready to leave, the guy behind her says that the tax will be in store credit. I tell them that I want it in cash, he says that they can't do that because it was a trade in. I tell them I want my money and games back, because I have no use for 4 dollars credit. I storm off furious, and tell them I am never going back and instead will go to Gamer's Exchange. Their story changed at least three times, and they lied to me. Sometimes their customer service is really good, and sometimes it seems like they just have a bunch a trainees that don't know what they are doing. I am gladly going to go to Gamer's Exchange, or Game Crazy, for the GTA: Double pack instead of Electronics Boutique, and for all other future game purchases. I advise everyone else to do the same.

After that horrible incident I go to The Dragon's Table. I play a few games of type one. I have found out that my new Burning Eggs deck does a lot better than my old Academy deck. After I go to The Dragon's Table, I go driving with my Dad. It was pretty fun. We drove around Crystal Lake a couple of times, and then drove to Lincoln Square Mall and back home. Driving is still very fun for me since I have only driven a total of 5 times. So it was pretty fun.

I think that is about all for tonight. So until later,
