Title: Drinky Crow and TVC-15 Star In: Stupid Sunday Featuring the Wii!
Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 18, 2006, 09:43:42 PM
So, having 9 days off and nothing better to do with my hours of freedom than be a distinguished mentally-challenged hypocrite, I, Drinky X. Crow, am going to wait in line for a Wii.

I have no idea why I'm doing this. The hardware is crap, the waggle rather disaffecting, and the game lineup worthless outside of shining brilliance that is an Aonuma Zelda. As I told my cohort in this worthless adventure, one TVC X. Fifteen, my irony gland is possibly overdeveloped to the point of mental damage. I'm not even sure I'll buy one, although I fear that after waiting in line amid the most sniveling of gaming fanboys, my wallet will be unpleasantly lighter. Rogue adventures in capitalism can cure even the deepest wounds of the soul.

TVC has his mega-camera and his grotesque collection of various Mac products. I have some camp chairs, blankets, malt beverages, and a PSP. I'd like to start a fistfight with a Nintendo fan, if I can muster the cojones, but I'll probably just smile and nod when one of them tells me in his reedy lisp how he once banged a girl that looked just like Samus Aran and how he also flew to Japan to play in a Smash Brothers tournament -- where he banged a girl that looked just like Kirby.

I promise you this, dirty Evilbore dogs: if this fool and his money are parted, I will write the only HONEST Zelda review you will read. Not sputum of the sort extruded into Pagemaker by 1UP's J. Parish or "The Girthmann" but a REAL HONEST ZELDA review that pulls no fucking punches and will hopefully make Wobedraggled cry unless my mind is blown harder than the Michigan defensive line at a blackACID slumber party.

IT HAS BEGUN.

Also, I only got like 5 hours of sleep last night, so I will have to abuse over the counter pharmaceuticals to stay awake.

I am bringing:

MacBook Pro (with extra battery)
Digital Rebel XT DSLR
A point and shoot camera that does video and gets decent sound
PSP


Drinky, would you like me to charge up the iBook for you?

This should be good. And Drinky's "anticipation" for the Wii resembles my own. I've had one pre-ordered via Amazon for a couple months now... and I don't know why. I'm not really interested in waggling. Mini game collections are alright but much better suited for the toilet rather than the couch. Sounds like a pain in the dick to hook up. But, yeah, Zelda's cool. And it's only $250. I dunno. *shrug*

Sealab Season 2 (featuring the Bizarros)

I watched that last night in a drunken haze and contemplated getting a Captain Murphy tattoo, but thankfully I couldn't really stand up much less drive to a tattoo parlor.

But no I'm rather looking foward to Drinky's opinons on the Zelda Wii as we know he won't be holding back a damn thing.  Please Drinky let us know about the waggle too tonight...I'm studying my ass off but I wouldn't mind what to read what Drinky has to say on the issues at hand.

I expect tons of pictures of fatties in hoodies.

You guys better get pics of the crowd. And maybe pretend to work for 1UP and have Drinky ask some Ntards hard questions. :lol

Drinky: For the last few months Nintendo has advocated "innovation", but in reality they seem to prefer re-release old games and such. So we get compilations, Virtual Console, Gamecube 2.0, etc

Mission aborted.


Chain of events:

1.  We hit up a Fred Meyer.  They had 50some units but they handed out tickets earlier in the day.  No Wiis left.

2.  Target - This would've been overnight camping.  It was also a guaranteed unit.  The store was getting ~70-90 units and there were 10 people in line.  We were ready to rough it out until we got to the line and saw that there were 2 adults and approximately 6-8 children.  CHILDREN children, as in under 10 years old.  Never let it be said that Nintendo isn't kiddie.  The kids were mostly asleep, although several of them stared at us with horrible, half-dead eyes and pale, miserable faces.  They had obviously been there a while.  We were freaked the fuck out, we couldn't be rowdy there, watch vulgar movies, or curse or be loud.  Fucking rotten Nintendo fans.

3.  TRU - Bellevue - The store was getting a lot of units, but the line wrapped around the block.  In addition to many, many children, there were lots of digipen fegs and other Ninthings.  Once we got out of the vehicle and scoped the line, we knew we wouldn't be scoring a unit, but if I had to choose to be in one line for 8 hours, it would be this one over the Target line, if only for all the embarrassing fodder we would've had for forums.  ALl kinds of nerds were talking about watching reviews on Gamespot!  Or how excited they were for zelda!  One guy was wearing a fucking homemade Wii controller costume.  My god do Ninthings make gaming a shameful hobby.

4.  The Gameplop by my apartment.  It's a small Gamestop and it still had 30+ people in line.

Some of my friends are currently in the Target line freezing their asses off until 8 AM.  I don't envy them.  I snagged an Amazon pre-order while they were available.  Mine should get here while I'm at work on Monday.

King 5 (Seattle NBC affiliate, for those outside of the area) had a story on the Wii launch and was live at the Redmond, WA Gamecrazy... I kid you not, they showed some prepubescent boy in line who was repeatedly jumping up and down, pounding his chest and clapping his hands and squealing like a little girl... this, and some pasty unshaven 30-40 year old dude with long scraggly hair who'd been camping out for 41 hours were the focus of their story.

I know, I know, I'm making fun of my geek brethren... yeah yeah yeah. But when you want people to take gaming seriously, these are not the people you want on camera.

Well, fuck.

TVC's account is right on the money.

First, we rolled by the ghetto Bellevue Fred Meyer only to find out Mexicans had claimed all the tickets. A pimply clerk sneered at me because I was white, so we left in a huff.

We drove up to the Woodinville Target, where there were only like 10 children in line. It looked fuckin' Dickensian, with them all bundled up and slumbering on camp couches or staring at us with these dead Children of the Corn eyes. There were a few parents. No one was talking, playing games, or watching David Lynch movies. It was unearthly silent. We coulda gotten Wiis had we waited with these creepy little Victorian child-ghosts until 8AM when Target opened, but we woulda wound up killing ourselves in a really dorky take on Henry James. We decided to spare our own lives and PASS.

So TVC mentions that GAF's own oxygen said the Bellevue TRU was opening at midnight to sell Wiis and we head on down there to scope the situation out. On the ride down we discussed how the reality of the launch was so much fuckin' creepier than our notions of what it entailed -- the deathly silent children staring with grey eyes into the hollows of our souls was far, far worse than a bunch of Starfox fans furpiling a morbidly obese Samus Aran. When we saw the line at TRU we rejoiced at first, because it meant we were back in the land of the living.

We were fucking DIPSHITS. Give me the wraiths of children over REAL LIVE NINTHINGS ANY FUCKING DAY.

It was like a 200+ line of GAFFERS. They were ALL japing around shrieking about Gamespot and Jeff Gerstmann, or how they'd met someone from a FAMOUS VIDEOGAMING WEBSITE, or wearing Naruto bandanas, or how NINTENDO WAS GONNA WIN, or how awesome they imagined RED STEEL would be. They were all fat; they were all pimply; they were all male; and I suspect they all really DID have Starfox fursuits in their closets. One dude was dressed as a giant felt wagglewand get-up and he yelled "GOOD LUCK HUAHUAHUHAUHAUHAUAHUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUA" in a really effeminate voice at us as we scoped out the line. As we passed each person, it felt as though we were being treated to a vocal recitation of the dumbest posts from GAF and Gamefaqs, from squealed aspersions on Sony to mumbled but heartfelt proclamations of love for Princess Peach.

drohne once chided me for mocking earnest fanfolk, saying geeks shouldn't cannibalize their own. I thought he made a good point at the time, but after this experience? FUCK THAT. To quote Dreamcast fanboy Ice Cube: "I'll mix these niggaz in a pot like gumbo." There's enthusiasm, and then there's pinning dignity to the bathroom floor and pissing straight into its mouth; and that whole line-up just REEKED of urine.

We checked Gamestop half-heartedly, but they had a line-up too. Anyway, fuck the Wii. I kinda wanted to play Zelda early, but my pride ain't worth sleeping in a parking lot next to undead children or squaring off with greasy overweight college kids dressed like anime ninjas.

Come home from Federal Way tonight, I mentioned to my wife that we should drive by the Ballard Fred Meyer to see how big the line was for the Wii... she looked at me as if I were on drugs and kept on driving. I'm somewhat tempted to cruise by for entertainment...

I wonder if anyone is camping outside the Game Town (independent store) down on 99/Aurora... that is not an area I'd want to be in all night outside with all the hookers and drug dealers and gang members. THAT might make for an interesting drive.

TVC had his camera, but we never stayed in one place long. Seriously, I don't think we had the fortitude to spend ANY length of time with the sort of folks who hang out waiting for Wii.

No, I had cameras, but during the Target line, we were so shocked at the fucking children that we immediately retreated.  Before I could get my telephoto out, we decided to get the fuck out of dodge.

We made a similar horrified retreat from TRU.

So, apparently no one told the poor bastards outside the Greenwood (Seattle) Fred Meyer that they had already passed out tickets earlier in the day. I would've rolled my window down to ask, but the guy swinging around his Zelda sword prevented me from doing so.

When I was driving to my friend's b-day party earlier tonight (where I totally got shithammered on JW Red in a measuring cup and got this chick's phone number after talking about Objectivism and Jesus- it was basically just another night in my life) I drove by this shopping center that has a Target AND BB to see what was going on because it was on the way.  Well, there were maybe 15 people in line at BB and less than 10 at Target.  I asked both lines if they knew how many Wiis the stores were getting and the BB line said more than 50, the Target line said more than 40.

I could walk into either store whenever tomorrow and get one if I really wanted a Wii.  Thankfully, I don't.

Oh, Link is very very real. Link isn't homeless, he lives near the Dick's up on Capitol Hill with the old dude that's always seen with him. Link sightings are commonplace in The Stranger, and I've actually encountered him twice in the last year. Last time, he loudly growled at me. I think he's somewhere on the Autistic spectrum, possibly Asperger's syndrome, though, so we really shouldn't lump the poor soul in with the other Nintendo fanatics.

Alright, but we could still make fun of the Nintendo fans that think it's really cool he's constantly dressed up as Link, right?

I wonder if there's a pic of him online.  He has a baseball bat strapped to his back instead of a sword.  God I love Seattle.

I've talked to maybe 5 people from across the US that got a Wii tonite, and they all got Zelda.  Either way, I think this rumor should prove itself true or false by tomorrow morning once the masses have either cheered or bitched on message boards.

Also remember that Nintendo is known for manufactured shortages.

I too went to the redmond gamestop, and viewed the staff there in their wii shirts looking really embarrassed while everyone waited quietly for their wii. Then some dude behind the counter asked me if I wanted to buy one and I said, "yeah OK sure." So after they asked me my name and rummaged through their bitchin' computer they asked, "wait, did you preorder?" I hadn't and they gave me this "uhh..." face. After that I thought about just buying an xbox 360 with GOW and leaving, only I didn't feel like it afterall, so I just left.
