So today, I went a little out of the way to get a game.
Watching Chandler's stream of MGS:GZ last Thursday and hearing about the story throughout the stream got me itchin' to get back into the series. The only issue was that the best fit for me, The Legacy Collection, was apparently a limited item. I found this out a bit too late in the game. Now a days you can find used copies for about $80+ with new copies over $100 in some cases. I had a hard time pulling the trigger at 45. 80 was a no go. So I scoured the web in hopes of finding a reasonably priced copy. Nothing.
Today my friend sent me a text saying that a Gamestop in a city about 100 miles from me had a copy. I thought about it for a bit and decided to let fate decide what I would do. If the game was still available when I got home from work, I would tell them to hold it for me. If not, hope to find it on the black market sometime down the line.
So I get home and turns out, the copy is still available. Truth be told, if I didn't have my "ways" of getting there, the amount of gas I used on my journey + the game cost would have been over 100+ but in this scenario, I don't pay for my own gas. Plus half of the adventure is the journey and it was taking me into a parts of the state I had never been and always wanted to venture to. So 4 hours later, I gotmore or less of what I wanted.
The take away >>Has anyone ever gone past logical reasoning to get a game?<<
