Cloak & Dagger

HOW,

Yesterday while the girlfriend and I were out shopping I decided to stop by a very crappy local game-exchange. I was in search of a Castlevania game for the GBA and no other retailer in my city had shit. This game-exchange is really my last resort, the selection usually does donkey shows. I walk in and holy fuck, out of the 10 used and dusty GBA games they had, there it was. I immediatley purchased it and headed home.

On my way I noticed the label on the cartridge looked bootlegged. The ESRB logo was out of proportion, the image pixelated and the name unreadable. Obviously it wasn't the original and it made me wonder what was wrong with it. Possibly the cartridge could have held government secrets or even the cure for cancer. It turned out though that there were no secrets or any cures,, the game must have gotten wet or something and the previous owner tried to create a new label in the hopes of scoring three dollars of store credit. The game hardly worked and when it did, it wouldn't let me save, and behaved very buggy. 0-5 and sadly I gave up the search, I took the game back, got my money and called it a day. What was dull then exciting was dull once more.

I thought atleast I could go home and watched the Chargers beat New England, but for the sixth time that day I was disappointed. No Eagles, No Chargers :( GO CHICAGO!! and thank Jesus the Seahawks lost :)
