Sometimes, a musician says something like “don’t go” and I’m not sure if I believe them. Other times it sounds like this and sends waves of goosebumps across my skin. Is it this “Hunger” that keeps me up until dawn every day, or do I have a serious sleep-related problem that a doctor can fix?

Gamestop and Amazon and 5 in the morning business model rantings

Normally, it doesn’t bother me that the trend with video games these days is to give pre-order customers exclusive in-game content. But in the case of Twisted Metal, the pre-order exclusive character is AXEL. Axel is one of the game’s main characters, and provides a unique gameplay experience unlike many of the other automobile variants. He may not be as iconic a character as Sweet Tooth, Hammerhead, Grimm or Minion, but for players like myself that do not own a PS3 but plan to have one eventually, not having access to Axel makes the game a lot less appealing to purchase.

I want to clarify that the game is being designed WITH THIS CHARACTER ON THE DISC. This isn’t a situation like with Gears of War 3 where you get bonuc character skins, or some FPS where you get a slightly different assault rifle, this is about a main character only being in the game is you pre-order it from a certain company. What happened to the old days when you got to unlock the secret characters by pressing Up, Down, Left, Left, L2 or whatever? Am I getting to be a stubborn old person already? I can’t even buy my own liquor without help from someone with more chin hair.

Would you want to play a new Super Smash Brothers game that didn’t have Kirby in it? I’m not saying that everyone likes Kirby, but Kirby is different from the other characters in the way he controls, and that makes him interesting. There are plenty of people who have spent twenty or more hours playing that game and only ever used Kirby. Would Nintendo make Kirby a pre-order exclusive character? Of course (I sincerely hope) not!

This business model is, of course, devised to maximize profit on the release day of a new piece of software. I get that. I get that some people wait for games to cost less, and then buy them used and/or online for cheap, causing the publisher and distributor to lose their cut of certain profits. I just wish pre-order content would be available to people somewhere further down the road. I would pay five dollars for Axel in a year, if the game disc itself only cost me $30 or $40.

Edit: Apparently, pre-ordering only makes Axel available sooner. Oops. I guess I can hold off on buying the game for a while.

In other words, awful.
“My life went on monotonously, as I have a constant witness that forbids me to happiness:  my ailment.” 
Quite possibly the most coincidental “thing” all year.  I suppose that this post wants me to continue life not caring about feelings.

“Allies, eager to make amends for their support of the Greek invasion, were planning to hand the city over to the victorious Turks - the citizens looked out at the French destroyers and British battleships, still on hand to protect European commercial interests in Smyrna, and their fears were calmed.” 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Am I the victorious Turks or the calm citizens or the city being handed over? My sex life sounds very complicated. Surprise, surprise.
