Grrrrr…

Where is this HERE they're referring to, exactly? It isn't: Game Crazy, Wal Mart, EB Games, Best Buy, Target, Comp USA.So I left work right on time and made a beeline for Target to buy my copy of The Sims 2: Pets. I called ahead. I was assured it'd be there. I got there … no Sims. Display says not 'til Thursday. Surely there's some mistake, I think. I drive out of my way to check another store (Game Crazy, I believe) only to find that it is not there either, until at least tomorrow. So I text messaged google and got more phone numbers and called around. It's nowhere until at least today. Did I mention it's snowing outside and the only place I wanna be is at home with my game? But no. I'm in my car, text messaging GOOGLE.

I went home, growly and defeated. I got on the EA website. It's only SHIPPING on the 17th. How silly of me. They kept billing the release date as 10/17… a Tuesday like most release days… but apparently they were only releaseing it to UPS (or maybe they use Fed Ex – I'm not privy to their shipping choices).

BUT …. I see a light at the ened of the tunnel! You can buy a download copy on the EA site. Those clever EA bastards, I think, they were just cutting out the middle man and sucking in desparate losers like me into buying their game directly from them a day early though I'd rather have the CD because I expected to be able to get it and wanted to play NOW so I would download it. And I did. But I was wrong. I can't install it until 10 AM. You'd think they'd at least give you access at midnight. But no. Jerks.

Digital Loki will have to wait.
