November 8th, 2011
Was the Release date of the popular video game
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3"
A happy and exciting day in the life of gamers
As they waited impatiently for this game to finally release
It was reported that 9 million people pre-ordered the game
in fear of not making to the store in time to buy it before it sells out.
But November 8th was also a day that girls, everywhere feared
as we knew we would lose our boyfriends to the game system and tv set
for hours, days and weeks at a time,
and if you are not careful, even months.
When November 8th came around,
my boyfriend, who is a killing machine addicted freak to this game
was playing a road game, all the way in Russia,
but that did not stop him from blowing up my phone
with requests for me to buy the game
He even suggested I should wait (maybe even camp) outside of
'Dreamland' our local toy&game store
Obviously, he was a little delirious from all the flying around he did
if he thought I'd wait for a store to open,
Let alone CAMP outside for a game I cannot stand.
I knew I was about to lose major quality time to this game,
but as the good girlfriend I am.
I went to the store and made sure he got a copy of it.
I figured it was a lose lose situation for me
as he would have came home and bought it anyway,
[[Unless it was sold out, for weeks, there was NO avoiding this game]]
so I went ahead and bought it before he did
(made it seem like I got one of the few copies left, for extra cool points)
So I could win some brownie points
It was my only option...
I had to make a bad situation, somewhat beneficial for me,
and for that caring, and speedy gesture of mine,
he has his game, which he is addicted to playing every chance he gets
and I have my pretty pair of brand new heels,
that he was too busy to notice I bought due to the game
:)
I got to admit,
Video games can be good babysitter, boyfriend sitter
if you can tune out the loud shooting noises,
and the people talking through the game system
You're good.
