It's technically illegal in the US to sell an M rated game to people under the age of 17. People can get fired over that shit. Stupid ESRB.

How the hell is GoW a M rated game? Gah, I dunno.

 

Boobs?

 

What? Those hexagonal blobs count as breasts?

Strangely, I feel urged to play GoW now.

Anyway, I find your complaint about Walmart to be rather silly.

Going to Walmart and looking for quality customer service is like going to a cheese factory looking for drinking milk. You may find "milk" at that cheese factory but it's certainly not something you want to drink because it's not what they specialize in producing.

Walmart doesn't compete based on AAA quality service or the finest selection of wares around, they compete based on cost, quantity, and convenience (though mostly that first one). At a Walmart Supercenter you can buy anything ranging from TVs to clothes to bananas to lawnmowers. And odds are fair that it'll be cheaper or at least on par with the prices you'd find at any other store.

Many may not like Walmart, but when they can go there and pick up the exact same product they saw in another store but 10-20% cheaper, they learn to deal with it.

So, yeah, I got myself a PSP. I pikced up the God of War pack, as well as Killzone: Liberation, and Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. I wanted to get Daxter aswell, but the shop didn't have it (I'm gonna order it through the VG store when I get back). I also picked up 2 DS3 controllers and Vegas 2, but I can't use those until I get back into the UK.

Anyways, my opinions:

 - Loving the design of the GoW PSP
 - Hell to find, they must have been running the stock dry for the Madden PSP
 - UMD reader makes a lot of noise
 - Browser sucks
 - Gimme a QWERTY keyboard, damnit.
 - GoW CoO is awesome!
 - Haven't played the other two games, saving 'em for the journey back
 - Quick loading times
 - Fits into my hands perfectly, I have small hands, so they fit snugly onto the shoulder buttons and analogue stick.
 - Browser really sucks
 - Liking all multimedia features
 - Looking forward to setting up the remote play
 - The browser really fucking sucks.
 - The internet search function is good until it boots up the browser.

WalMart Rant:

After hearing so much about WalMart, you know how big they are, how much stuff they have, etc, well I wasn't impressed. They only had one brand of organic, free-range eggs, one brand of wholewheate pasta. They had four doughnut sections (four!). The toileteries section was a load of bollucks, and was miles away from the rest of the stuff. What the hells wrong with the word "tampons"? Why did the section have to be called "feminine hygiene", and what, don't men wash out here? Because there was only one, small, little stand of men's shower gel. The customer service was, for use of a better word, shit, they were rude, and they didn't know jack-all about what they were selling. And my dad had to be with me to get the PSP, facists. My dad gave them the quick "fuck you", and we were on our way to another, independant store to spend $500 on games, who didn't think that I was too young to play GoW. The food they stocked in WalMart was of such a low quality, that we've avoided it and we now just go to Publix whilst we are out here.

The American food quality needs to do quite a bit of catching up overall, to be honest.

I would also rant about the shitty media out here, aswell, but my head would explode with anger. I will say this, though: it comes to something when there is nothing but news on the TV, and yet you only find out about the Russia Georgia war on VGChartz after one week of it going on.

 

every where else has zero organic food

Wal-mart is a horrible corporation.



Wal-Mart is pretty much only good for electronics if:

1) You are going for a sale or some special

2) You randomly see something while browsing which is cheaper there than normal.

Other than that you should pretty much avoid Wal-Mart for electronics, because you are just asking for a bad experience.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Only one brand of organic free-range eggs!? FUCK YOU WAL-MART!

 Not so silly for those who read the post near 2 hours before yours ^^

I think we were anticipating something different because in the UK all the stores cater for all markets and have ample amounts of low, medium, and high priced items.
