I've seen those in my local Blockbuster, they are pretty awesome. As for Zelda... you could get a master sword on eBay .

What the hell is a Blockbuster...?!?!

It's something we used to have in the bad old days, but there's no need to trouble you with the gruesome details such as "late fees."

A West Coast Video around the corner from me just closed up shop a week ago.. It's kind of sad when I think about it, actually.. I remember being a kid and renting NES and SNES games on Friday after school..
To think that experience - everything from the sticky carpet-floors, the aisles of VHS movies, Blockbuster popcorn machines and lonely Virtual Boy kiosks, the game boxes in front of rental cases indicating their availability, even the smell that was unique only to a video store of the 1990's - young gamers and movie buffs today will never know that feeling.. It's depressing...

Even if, in the end, Netflix is superior, going to the actual movie store was a lot more fun. Besides, Netflix still doesn't have game rentals.

I loved Blockbuster back in the day. My mom rented a Genesis game for me and my brother every Friday, too. It was perfect too because we'd rock a new co-op game every weekend. Fuck, those were awesome days.

Anyone remember Movie Gallery? lol. They had the infamous "adult sections".

A friend of mine would always rent games from various Blockbusters and just never return the games and would just never go back to that location. Haha, somehow he always got away with it.

Yeah, my rage made the post a bit confusing. That's definitely what I meant. QT = QuickTrip gas stations, they're fairly nice gas stations (almost like mini-Walmarts honestly) taking off around the midwest. Apparently their registers don't tell you the change automatically so I can see how the test was a big deal to them, although it was just irritating I made a simple repetitive mistake and was just a dollar off on some questions.

I can understand why the store would be concerned. If you're a dollar off here and there, before you know it, you're short $30 at the end of your shift. You'll be fired after your first day or you need to make up the difference from your paycheck.

It does irritate me when I give a cashier $14.05 for an $8.80 purchase (this is a made up example) and it leaves them all flustered because they can't figure out that the change is $5.25. But if I was the owner of QT, I would make sure that the registers can determine the change so that I don't have to worry about whether or not you have good math skills.

If you have the DS, I recommend getting Brain Age Math. There's one exercise where you have to figure out the change. I think by doing that one, you can improve your change making skills. That's all it is, practice. It has other cool exercises such as the boss battle where you need to add quickly. My problem with this game is that I can't write fast and accurate enough to achieve the "rocket" image. I can always get the jet which is pretty good time.

Anybody remember having to rewind a tape?

What's a tape?

Anybody remember having to rewind a tape?

The last VCR I bought boasted that it could fully rewind a tape in less than 60 seconds, which it could. With all the stupid shit Lucas is adding to the re-re-re-re-re-re-release of Star Wars, I'm glad I still have the original cuts on tape.
