Is that in Kickass Wikipedia Article of the Day? Cause it should be.

Saint DH · 04-19-2011, 08:49 PM

I bought Portal 2 tonight. It's so boring that I will be returning it tomorrow.

edit: Blonde you owe me $64 you cocksucker.

Mr. Blonde · 04-19-2011, 09:30 PM

I thought it was only $50. Can you even return it?

Did you even play the original Portal?

Saint DH · 04-19-2011, 09:55 PM

it was $60 at wal mart plus tax. No, I have never played the original. Everyone online said it was awesome and much better than mortal kombat, so I bought it.

I'm going to try and take it back tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure wal mart's return policy requires that software be unopened.

Ironic Mustache · 04-19-2011, 09:58 PM

I think you can exchange it though... Not too late for MK?

Saint DH · 04-19-2011, 10:05 PM

From what I've read, the only exchange available to me at this point is for another copy of the same game. This is due to assholes, under the old return policy, buying a game, copying it, returning it for another game, and repeating the process.

Ironic Mustache · 04-19-2011, 10:07 PM

Blonde owes you $64.

Mr. Blonde · 04-19-2011, 10:13 PM

DH, you seem to be a bit of an impulse buyer.

Orgazmo · 04-19-2011, 10:53 PM

If you can exchange for the same game...why not exchange, get an unopened version, and then return that one?

Saint DH · 04-19-2011, 10:58 PM

I feel like there has to be some sort of control in place to prevent that from happening.

Mr. Blonde · 04-19-2011, 11:25 PM

Sell it at a 5$ discount on Craigslist. Say you beat it and don't want it anymore.

Saint DH · 04-19-2011, 11:31 PM

I don't use Craigslist.

I figured I'd just trade it in at Gamestop and have you cover the difference.

You've never used Craigslist? My god man. It's great. It's like the flea market, or Goodwill, except you get to spend the absolute minimum amount of time actually dealing with the other party. You just meet at the same place and exchange goods and money, fuck off and never have to hear from them again. It's amazing.

thekremlin · 04-20-2011, 09:28 AM

What does it say that DH -ing this game made me want it more than Blonde +ing it?

Saint DH · 04-20-2011, 11:16 AM

I'll sell it to you for $40.

(you have to cover shipping)

Fruitacious B · 04-20-2011, 01:12 PM

You should have played the first game before paying $60 bucks for the harder followup game. I'm sure you can get the first Portal game as part of the Orange Box package for $20 or less, or rent it for $4. Don't fuck around buying games on impulse, it usually ends badly. If I'm going to pay that kind of cash for a game, I'm certain it's going to be worth it before buying it.

That said. I'll give you $20 right now for it.

Saint DH · 04-20-2011, 01:47 PM

I can probably get $35 at gamestop.

Normally, I never, ever buy games without testing them out first. Unfortunately, every fucking blockbuster store has gone out of business in this fucking town, thus leaving me unable to rent video games. Therefore, I can only make purchase decisions by reading the reviews and watching the demos. The graphics are pretty good, and the voice acting is solid. I just don't like solving puzzles that much. I prefer killing things.

Saint DH · 04-20-2011, 07:10 PM

The return failed. Apparently it's a federal copyright law, not just a Walmart return policy. Started playing the game a bit more today. It's ok...I guess now it doesn't feel like I flushed $60 down the toilet.

I've found that the puzzles are all extremely simple to solve or extremely difficult. I'm on level 20 or so.

Mr. Blonde · 04-20-2011, 07:26 PM

No spoilers please, I'll hopefully be joining in on the fun tonight.

Saint DH · 04-20-2011, 07:51 PM

Not much to spoil. The story is really lame so far. I use the word story very, very loosely.

ninjaface · 04-20-2011, 08:03 PM

I wasn't very impressed by the original, so I most likely won't get Portal 2.

Saint DH · 04-20-2011, 08:06 PM

Where the fuck were you 24 hours ago?

ninjaface · 04-20-2011, 08:12 PM

In a state of perpetual coldness. Unable to gain warmth. Fearing my demise.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
