Ok, back after store hopping for 3 hours lol. My first trip was to Walmart. Was very surprised to see that they had quite a few of the sale games. PS3-wise, they had a lot of NCAA 14's, they even had a few Madden 25's. They had Beyond 2 Souls too. Did not want any of them (and I had Madden already). I wanted to try and get The Last of Us, but could not find it. However, they DID have Splinter Cell Blacklist, which I picked up Then I went to Best Buy, but they had almost nothing. Then for some reason, I went to ToysRUs (almost right by BB, so that I why I checked it out). They had games, but their deal is not worth it (the deal is buy 1 game, get another 40% off) unless you own a NG console. Went to some non-game places, and then went to Kmart. LOL @ Kmart. Not only do they have terrible deals, but seeing them sell Madden 12 for $20 had me cracking up. Then to Gamestop, but did not like some of their deals. In the end, I went out for Blacklist and TLOU. Got one of them on the 1st trip, but unfortunately the rest of my travels were a waste of 2+ hours.

In between BB/TRU and Kmart, I went to a mall nearby. In an electronics store, they had Dishonored for $10, but didn't go for it

You know that you can play them on the PS3 eh? In the GoW collection. I would play them if I were you as they are a part of the story and a good part IMO. (of course I am a GoW fan boy)CoO and GoS are prequels just like Ascension. In chronological orders the games go Ascension Chains of Olympus God of War Ghost of Sparta God of War 2 God of War 3 I bought the GoW Saga used, so that code that gives you CoO and GoS was already gone. Are they really that integral to the story line though? Or is it fine that I don't/can't play them? Btw, would it have been good to play Ascension before GoW1? I knew it was a prequel, but some of my friends that had also played GoW told me that even though it's a prequel, I should still play GoW1 first. Ahh thats shitty. Umm they aren't an integral part of the story but they do add to it for sure. I wouldn't play Ascension before GoW because the graphics are SOOO much better in ascension that going back is kinda blahh. Really it doesn't matter as long as you play Gow 1,2 & 3 in a row you are fine the rest can be played any time at any point. I am replaying them in order just for fun. I have already beat Ascension and CoO and I started on GoW last night. Your talking about it made me want to continue again lol. Went and did some black friday shopping myself today. Got the Last of Us and NBA 2K14 for 80$ *shrugs* I was gonna buy em both anyway figured I would go get em for cheaper!

TLOU and Blacklist were also the two games I went out for yesterday, and I found Blacklist. No dice no TLOU though. You should've picked up Beyond Two Souls.

Alright, so earlier tonight when I went to Walmart the 1st time, I went with a friend. (He doesn't play games and just thinks I'm an idiot for wasting money on them) Anyway, TLOU and Madden 25 were gone before I got a chance to get them. In fact, I never even saw a copy. So I ended up grabbing Tomb Raider($15), Skyrim($15), Dishonored($10), Assassin's Creed 3($15), and God of War Saga($15). Then I wanted to look at some movies, but my friend walked off like a retard and he didn't have his phone with him...so then I look through movies for a couple minutes before I decide I'll come back later for them cause I wanted to get in line before they got too long. But I'm not 17 (I'm about to be), so I can't even legally buy M rated games, which all the ones I bought were. So I needed my friend to buy them for me anyway. But trying to find 1 person.....in a completely packed out Walmart....impossible. I spent over a half hour looking for him before I thought to go check the car. I had one of the guys monitoring the video games to hold my games for me while I go check. So I run out and I find him right outside the door...anyway I was pretty pissed cause it was impossible to walk through walmart and I wanted to get in and out quick, etc...so we go back in (we bother blamed each other for it) to buy the games and my goodness the lines were backed up so far...it would've taken an hour to check out. So I said screw it. I'd already wasted too much time and I was just too frustrated to waste another hour waiting to check out. So I just laid the games down where I was and we left. Anyway I called my mom a bit later (she works the night shift) and asked her to grab the games where I'd left them and buy them for me and I'd pay her when she got back in the morning. She couldn't even find where I left the games (they had probably been taken by a random person or an employee) so I told her the games I wanted and she looked around and found 4 of them (Dishonored, GoW, Tomb Raider, AC3). And she didn't have any money...so I went back to walmart at midnight to guy buy the games. While I was there, I was hoping to get lucky to find TLOU and/or Madden 25 or even NBA2k14... the walmart employess had put any items they'd found laying around in the store in karts in the middle of the store. So I looked through every cart for the games...the only one I was able to find was Skyrim. So I went to check out with my 5 games: Tomb Raider, Dishonored, GoW Saga, AC3, and Skyrim which would come out to $70 I think plus tax. Well when I was checking out, the cashier lady asked to see my ID. I wasn't even thinking about them being M rated games...anyway then she tells me she can't legally sell them to me, which didn't surprise me. So I was like "well my mom is here. I can have her come." And she says "I wouldn't even be able to sell them to your mom. If she came with you to buy them, I'd know she was going to give them to you, which is against the law to do". So she took the games from me and I had to walk off. Which is complete BS. I've bought several M rated games and all I ever have to do is have an adult with me. But for some reason, this lady thinks that she can't sell them to my mom knowing she's going to give them to me...anyway, I told my mom about it and gave her the money to buy them...she said she'll try to get them... So yeah, Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Gotta love Black Friday. Wow, no way that is a rule. It would've been funny though if you just grabbed a random adult next to you and said they were your parent LOL.

Jancey That is horseshit! The rule for stuff like that isn't that you just can't play it, its that you can't be the one to decide you can play it. If your parents decide that you are allowed to play it you can as they are your care givers not the makers of the game. Its like how you can go to an R rated movie if you parent goes to it with you.

Well, it all worked out. My mom got the games. Now, since then...I decided today to go to gamestop and get the 250 GB PS3 with TLOU and Arkham Origins for $200($220 with tax). That is an awesome deal. I'm going to keep the 250 gig PS3 and sell my 80 gig. My brother just sold his 80 gig with Tekken 6 for $150, and he has someone else who wanted to buy it, so I figure I can get $175 for my 80 gig PS3 and Arkham Origins (I'm not going to get to Origins for a while...by the time I do, it'll be much cheaper). So basically, I'll end up upgrading my PS3 from 80 gig to 250 gig and get TLOU for about $45. Also bought inFamous 2 for 10 bucks. My brother gave me Arkham Asylum and Arkham City for my birthday/Christmas. So, in the end, I'm going to end up getting TLOU, Arkam Asylum/City, Tomb Raider, Dishonored, GoW 1/2/3/Olympus/Sparta, AC3, Skyrim, inFamous 2, and upgraded my PS3 from 80 gig to 250 gig for a grand total of approximately $135. I'd say that's pretty good. I hate spending money, but the good news is, I now have 13 new games to beat and I won't be needing to buy another game for a while. All that's left on my list is Madden 25, Arkham Origins, AC4, and GoW: Ascension, all of which (except Madden 25) I can wait a while for. If I get through all of them, then Red Dead Redemption, Darksiders, and Kingdom Hearts will be next up. But I doubt I'll ever get to them.
