Is my wife more hardcore than me? She just made me pre-order MadWorld.

no car? =S

Google Maps says it's a 0.6 mile walk.  So yes, we walked 2.4 miles, and will walk 1.2 more on Tuesday to own MadWorld.  But I've heard of a guy who would walk a thousand miles just to fall down at your door, so it's no biggie.

Neither of us have cars.  My license even expired last year and I didn't even bother to renew it.

Good for you guys. Auto distribution is at completely unsustainable levels and it's amazing how much money you can save and how much healthier you can be by switching to public transit and/or human power. I intend to never own a car, though I realize I might change my tune if I ever get married and have kids. One car per household ought to be enough, instead of the one car per person standard we've been persuing in recent years.

More on topic, your wife bullying you into pre-ordering MadWorld reminds me of the girl I've seen in some trailers who wears a spikey outfit and murders the Black Baron in amusing ways.

Have you ever lived in the suburbs?  Only owning one car would be impossible.  My mother and dad both work 30 miles away from the house and 20 miles from each other's job.  I go to school 20 miles from our house and 10-20 miles from them.  Everything's 30 minutes away in a car.  Considering the pathetic public transit around here, how do you suggest we manage with one car?  Plus, what about auto enthusiasts like myself?  My dad has two cars, a Jetta TDI for the daily commute and a E36 M3 for weekends.  He loves cars and driving great ones, but he recognizes that a sports car doesn't typically get the best gas mileage.  Maybe one car is okay in an urban environment, but elsewhere it just doens't work.

@Rubang: And I thought my last girlfriend was awesome for liking anime and korean pop music...  I'm jealous.

I used to live in the suburbs, and then I lived in the city but worked in the suburbs.  I had 2 jobs and went to school, without a car.  I rode 1 train and rode 2 buses each day, or sometimes 2 trains and 1 bus.  All my transportation cost me $47 a month for a monthly train and bus pass.

Public transportation isn't really a hassle, especially if you have any reading or homework or portable gaming that needs to get done.  I used to beat most of my DS games on the train.  There are usually user-friendly web sites that can map your whole trip out for you.  And might I recommend finding a cheaper hobby during simultaneous global economic and global food crises?

RubangB, don´t worry, be happy!!! maybe she starts to buy the games you want. The only problem is when she likes just buy fitness and animalz games.

You must be scared when she likes buy HVS "animales de la muerte" (animals of death) kill zoo animal turned in zombies is a bad sign, ¿or not?

Oh I'm not worried about it.  I bought Wii Fit for myself and she doesn't even use it.  The last games we played together were Umbrella Chronicles and the first couple hours of Final Fantasy 6.  I got her to play Turtles in Time, River City Ransom, and Streets of Rage 2 with me, but she wasn't into oldschool beat 'em ups.  She loves Twilight Princess and SoulCalibur 2, and apparently is really hyped for MadWorld.  I've never seen her hyped for a game before it came out.  This game could be huge.
