Super lame GTA launch story
Now, I don't really consider myself a huge GTA fan. In fact, I have never really liked the games. I found them ass ugly to play, full of glitches, and could never get engrossed in the storyline, I always just ended up using cheats to get the tank and pwn everything in my way. But this one seemed different, from all the videos and reviews they have seemed to have perfected the GTA formula, so I decided to give it a try, and even found myself buying into the massive hype machine.

I decided I was going to go to blockbuster on Tuesday morning, because I saw on a poster that if you trade in four games, you get GTAIV free! How could I go wrong, so I asked around and Cody and Kyle said they would come with me. Cody had a pre-order at wal-mart for his copy, so we decided to go there after blockbuster. I went home and chose about 8 games, just to be safe. They were the shittiest, oldest gamecube games I had, and after reading the fine print for the trade in I was convinced they would get me the much sought after prize.
Tuesday, April 29th;
Yes, the day was upon the world.
I woke up to the radio describing lines in front of most major retailers in anticipation for the game, I was glad I had a chance to get it before the after-school rush. So I got up and did all the usual morning jazz, and then I got in the car and went to pick up the Krolikowski girls. We arrived at the school and I decided math was not necessary on this particular day. So me and Monica went to Tim Hortons and then to Jon's house to waste time until second period, and the epic road trip to Blockbuster. We arrived at school and went to the caf and talked with Isaac and Rob about what their strategy was to get the game, and then the bell rang. Cody arrived very quickly wearing some glasses that made him look like a queer. After a short search we found Kyle, and then we were off. Everyone was clearly very excited. We all hopped in the Beetle and sped off towards Brantford blaring some Iron Maiden. After a short drive and much talk about killing hookers and whatnot we arrived at Blockbuster. So we walked in, saw a lady with a box of GTA’s and I went up to her and set down my massive stack of games. After some smooth talking I convinced her that my name was Sandra Coté, because only the cardholder can trade games so I had to make it so it was my name. After that close call she scanned my games to make sure they were eligible for the trade in thinger, and then. The biggest bullshit EVER. “ I’m sorry sir but we can only give you 15$ off the regular price with these 8 games”
Yeah,
I was pissed.
I told her that was bullshit and grabbed my games, promptly leaving the store whilst giving it the finger. So then we put some Deathklok in the cd player, and continued to wal-mart, headbanging like scene kids.
When we arrived at wal-mart we made our way to the electronics section, and presented Cody’s pre-order to the sales lady, she checked his age by asking him if he was 17 and gave him a weird look. While the debit transaction was going through she asked her cohort what was in the special edition the of the game. And I quote, “ Theres a bag thing, a little book thing, a map thing, a cd type thing, the game, and a box thing, you know, to put all the dead hookers in.”
Cody continued to rub it in my face that I couldn't get it, and so I kicked him in the face and now he is even uglier.
The end.
