Good ol' Jacksonville.
Serriously check out that link. Apparently a guy in Jacksonville was talking on the phone while watching someone play Grand Theft Auto. The guy that was talking on the phone started shouting "There's a bomb in the building! You have to get out!" Well it turns out he was talking to the guy playing the game in front if him. But, the person on the other end of the phone thought he was talking to him. So now the guy has been arrested on bomb threat charge. Now that's unfortunate.
Been a busy week. I traded-in my old Dreamcast, 17 games and all it's accessories. I also traded in my Neo Geo Pocket Color and the 6 games I had for that. I got $100 in store credit from GameCrazy for all of it. It's sad to see that whole collection go but now I can get new games. Close to half of the credit came from the Neo Geo and the games for it. Apparently the Dreamcast isn't as coveted. I got more for the whole lot than I think I would of gotten on ebay so that's a good deal.
What did I get with my new credit? Well I didn't want to make any rash decisions so I waited a couple days before going back to spend any of it. I ended up getting EA's MVP Baseball 2004. So far I'm 1-6. I'm kind of out of season playing console games. I need to get back in the swing of it before my skills come back. Plus it's a nice challenging game too. Not easy by any means.
Don't get the wrong idea either. I know it's easy to think, "Hey, if Ryan isn't doing well on a game, there must be something flawed with the game." It may seem like I'm the most hardcore, but alas I am not. I know without a doubt the most hardcore gamer I know would be Matt over there. I would consider myself just a gamer. I'll play anything, but I'm not hardcore. For a while I thought I wanted to be, but damn that's a commitment. You've got to work really hard to beat every game you see. And just between you and me... I haven't actually beaten that many games. I really love playing games, but when they get to a point when they feel tedious, I would rather just start playing a new game. I'm trying to change that and beat more games, but it's a hard habit to break. I'll keep you updated on how it goes. ¶ 10:10:00 AM
