So I had a lot of errands today.. and I figured.. after it was all done I was going to pick up Tales of Vesperia at EBGames because it was only $19.99
Only one store near my house had this game in stock.. so I thought.. SWEET!

._. But when I went in.. apparently they sold it to some lady 30 minutes before I arrived!

;_; *Sigh*.. I guess I can forget about getting it now.. the next closest store that carries it is like.. in Bolton or Thornhill which is an hour or so away.. and it's unavailable online..

>_> Amazon.com has it for $18.. but.. Amazon.ca has it for $30. What is this ****? Our dollar is practically the same.

But alas.. I gave in and drove to Thornhill.. because I decided I actually really wanted it ._. So.. nyah <3

    I hate it when that happens. It happened to me back when the DS first came out, Dad went to GS only to find the last DS was sold right before he got there, so he had to go hunting some more. XD

    This has happened to me before. I've driven around to three different EB games stores for certain games, and have always ended up going to the same store to get all the games.

    o_O It takes you an hour to get to Thornhill?

    Enjoy ToV! I didn't like the plot much at all but the characters weren't too bad and the battle system was really fun. n_n

    If you don't mind waiting, you should check online too. EB Games/Gamestop has a Canadian site now and I imagine their online price would be the same.

    Do you have any idea how much traffic there was earlier today?!! It took me 30 minutes just to get to fecking Colossus drive! >_>
    I figured I better freaking have gone today to get it or I wouldn't know when the last one would sell out.. and I knew it was gonna take super long because people seem to just be idiots around this time =___= Christmastime is the worst! Did you know the other day my brother saw some person legitimately driving on the wrong side of the road?! WTF..

    @[email protected] I did check online.. but gamestop said it was unavailable online >/

    Also I started playing ToI too.. so hopefully I can get to that bossbattle soon. If I beat it I can send you the save file if you still want it.

    I'll admit I haven't gone that way recently, haha. D: I also totally forgot it was Christmastime. XD;

    If you can it'd be great. I think the battle had like. Dogs in it or something. I can't remember now. @[email protected]

    Yeah it's just overall dumb everywhere.. ._. Even Corey saw a pregnant lady holding a 1 year old kid in one arm and SMOKING with the other hand the other day. >_> Don't you just want to smack these people?

    Oh.. Do you remember who was in your party at the time? lol.. Also I'm really anal at games lately.. so if you get the file and I have like.. 4 hours in but I'm technically not all that far it's probably because I'm like.. customizing, getting gold, or searching/ levelling ._. lol.. But.. dogs.. okay I'll try and see.

    ALSO omg.. they made new plazas and apartments and stuff in that area and it looks super nice. I wish I went back to Highschool now because it's looks like a really nice place to hang out now. @[email protected] Like.. there's a section that looks like a mini-downtown.. I was like.. when did they put this up?! Like there's everything.. and like.. a nice sit down bakery too.. @[email protected] I love freshly baked breads <3

    I dunno. To be fair I was experimenting with a new party member I'd gotten fairly recently (and was trying to find someone I didn't suck with) but I went back to my old party, grinded a bit, and still couldn't beat it. :( But you probably aren't too far from me. I was playing pretty slowly.

    And omg I have seen them, though I haven't been to any of them. xD They look sooo nice. Like the place with the Starbucks & I think there's a Gamestop? (I can't see anything else when I go by, lol.) I should check it out. :(

    I put it down for the night.. I need to go to the second town, though hahah... And okay I'll send it once I get to what feels like a boss battle then.. and you can just let me know if that was the part.

    Yup!! And yeah.. like it just looked like everything was there @[email protected] Plus soo close to promenade, too. It's like... perfect! You should check it out. It was the first time I've seen it.. I dunno how new it is but it seems just so practical and fun, too :3
