Paralysis
29 11 2005Oh dear god. I’ve got a £5 play.com voucher and no idea what to spend it on. There are so many things I want, so many graphic novels, DVDs, and yet I can’t choose just one. I need to strike the correct balance of the following factors:
1) It must be expensive enough that I probably wouldn’t buy it without the £5 off
2) It much not be more than a few quid cheaper elsewhere
I’ve been going down my list of stuff and there’s no DVD I can find that wouldn’t be better served as a christmas present, no graphic novel I want that isn’t already so cheap that wasting a free fiver on it would be pointless. For the love of god, this is the hardest decision I’ve ever faced. And it has to be spent tomorrow. If you feel that you’ve got a good idea, let me know. Emergency choiceL An Evening with Kevin Smith DVD. Or We3. Or Dirtbike Manifesto. Or Maximum Carnage. Do you see my problem?
Speaking of good ideas, I’m strongly considering a Nintendo DS. Josh and I hooked his up to the wireless router and played some people who might’ve been halfway across the planet (or street) at Mario Kart DS. That’s gaming. At this point, it’s not a question of “if”, but “when” I’m starting to feel.
Have you actually read We3 yet? If not, I demand you buy that. Now.
You know, you actually convinced me. Then I tried to buy it and noticed that they didn’t have a “Buy” button on the page. Then I saw it was out of stock. I decided to go for Maximum Carnage instead because I’ve wanted to read it for about 10 yeasr (since I played the SNES game) and I’m well aware it’s of, er, suspect quality, so getting it for a tenner is just about bearable.
I’d reccomend physically going to a shop and buying We3, so that you can own it without having to wait for delivery. Grant Morrison is god.
