Ghostbusters: We're Finally Ready to Believe You
- Thread starter Timby
- Start date
I had the full set of Ghostbusters, Ecto 1 and the fire station, etc. Absolutely shitloads of it.
Unfortunately, my painfully altruistic mother, bless her, had a really fucking irritating habit of giving all my shit to the other kids in the street.
Her reasoning was thus:
"You don't play with x any more"
(which was seldom true, and even so, not much of an excuse for GIVING my stuff away)
"But (insert neighbour's child here)'s parents aren't as lucky as us! Don't be so selfish!"
(So wait - you've given my treasured shit to some other middle-class kid, when neither of us are particularly underprivileged, and I'm not allowed to be upset because you want to play mother fucking theresa? Fuck you, mum. Fuck you.)
"You're too old to be playing a megadrive, you need to grow up and concentrate on your schoolwork"
(I WAS FUCKING 12 YOU RETARDED BITCH - luckily, on THAT occasion, the parents of the kid in question wondered where the hell wee Scott had gotten a damn games console from, had an attack of conscience and marched him down the road to gave it back to me, and rightly give my mum an earful, asking her directly "what kind of mother gives her bairn's toys away to his pals? Yer a bloody headcase!". MY thoughts exactly.)
Fucking cow.
Sorry everyone. That was quite therapeutic.

My brother thought that it'd be a great idea to draw all over it in blue coloring pencil.My fire station was permanently marred by my utterly brilliant idea of taking some of the ooze from my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys and then pouring it through the grate on the roof.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Granted, he was around 4 or 5 at the time (he's 19 now), but still!

I love thinking back to the stupid stuff I did with my toys, thinking it was a good idea at the time. My Ecto-1, I decided, needed to have chewed up, moistened gum on the windshield to make it look like they were attacked by ghosts.
Little did I know that chewing gum hardens and is a bitch to get off. In fact, I wasn't able to get it off until last summer when I came across it and started to chip at the gum for kicks.
What the hell, GameStop? Don't call me three days in advance to remind me of my pre-order! I'm plenty antsy enough as it is!
Give me the game already, you fucks!
Gamestop called you? Isn't their policy to hope you don't remember to pick it up so they can keep your preorder money?

Depends on the GameStop and how dickish the manager is.
I just got a robocall from Dan Aykroyd reminding me to pick the game up.
I'm ready.
Same here. I have to admit, it got me a litte psyched!
I'm preparing to use my lunch break to drive across town, stop at Buffalo Wild Wings, gorge myself with 18 Spicy Garlic wings, and pick up my pre-ordered copy at the GameStop next door.
And then find a way to pawn off some work on my new intern so I can bug out of the office early.

Stop whining, we don't get it till the end of the year...I was going to go in today and trade in my copy of CoD: WaW for this at EB, but it appears that Canada gets the game June 30th

Speak for yourself - I wholly intend on buying it Friday for the PS3!
At last, my Playstation is a games console again.

I suppose I could import it...
I'm reading reports that the PS3 version of the game is running at 540p vs. the 720p of the X360 version (3/4 resolution!). See: http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=131&message.id=140184
So this blows a bit. I don't want to spend $60 on a game that is supposed to be superior, but ends up being an inferior version This makes me sad as I've been waiting for this for a year...

It seems to me this happens to the PS3 versions of games a lot more than it should.

The bizarre thing is that the developer has often touted the PS3 as its lead platform during the game's development! Why do we get a substandard version of the game????????
