I Want Them Now!

sketch | Sep 02, 2008 | Comments 0

I’m torn. My dilemma is that for once, the stars have aligned and there are so many new games coming out that I have an interest in that I don’t know where to start. Oh, and I have ’strained finances’. Typical. For once there is release after release clamouring for my pre-order and my wallet is barren enough for moths to turn their noses up at. I could be reckless and venture further into an overdraft and maybe order Viva Pinata… but then, Spore is out too… but I can’t get the normal one…it’s too…well, normal. I want the Galactic Edition and that will set me back forty five notes or so. Then at the end of the month is Lego Batman and joy of happy days, Colonization, a game I played to death on the Amiga and still have on my laptop. So I want that too. Then the month after we have Fable 2 and later on Fallout 3, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Ghostbusters, Dead Space, Hydrophobia, Mirror’s Edge, Resi 5, Prototype, Street Fighter 4…oh what’s the point in torturing myself? How can I choose?

But wait… my tiny voice of reason battles to the front. My birthday is in October and Crimbo/New year are round the corner (depressingly), so FFS, what’s the problem? I could just wait. The ‘W’ word, however, is not something I am good at. At all. My problem is that I don’t want to wait. I want them now. I don’t want to be pressed against the gaming glass watching everyone play the games I want. Though the sarky part of me wonders what the chance is that I’ll actually play them as soon as I get them and not leave them in a pile with the other ‘to play’ games. But I’d have them at least and the want would be satiated. Until the next time.

I want them today,
No, not tomorrow…
I want to play ‘em, to score whore and slay ‘em,
And I don’t want to share em’
Give them to me!
