    So you may have noticed a cerain busting of ghosts game up above. Well the reason why I suddenly have this on my gamertag is because a new game place opened up in my town where you "pay-to-play" on the next gen systems on these nice 23" HD monitors with Turtle Beach headsets in 1080p. I used my hard drive when me and my friend went there to check it out and I decided to try Ghostbusters because the guy there told me he got it in a couple days ago and beat it and had a great time. I popped it in and did really like it. We paid $15 for a day pass and we were there for about 5 or 6 hours. The normal rate is $5/hour with every third hour free but the day pass is a better deal if you are there for at least 4 hours. It may sound like a stupid idea but it's a really cool place. They will have tournaments too and once I get a job I plan on going there with my friends once a week to just hang out.

    Speaking of a job, I didn't get the one at McDonalds. They said that I got a 7 and I needed an 8 to pass on to orientation. There's no way I didn't pass but oh well, back to square one. I'm now applying at other places in town. The oil change place is hiring so I may work there or I have a list of places that I'm gonna check out tomorrow. The problem is I only have $2 on me and my debit card which has $1,175 on it but I can't touch that till the Fall when I start college. Also, my open house is Saturday and that's when I should get my HDTV!!! I also will get a lot more money for my debit card. Also, DS or PSP? I used to own a PSP but the games just weren't there. However, I feel with the PSP Go coming out they are going to open the gates for some better games! Anyways I plan on buying a DSi or a PSP (maybe a Go?) this Fall for when I'm at college. I have classes on Tuesday that require me to stay there all day and there will be a few hours of nothing so I need something to do. So please answer (with reasons!) for the PSP or DSi dilema! Thank you.

    Until next time, there are the Fonzie at the urinal and Tom Cruise manequins! (Conan O'Brien reference)

    They used to have an admittedly less sophisticated gaming place like the one you mentioned in this little town in Mexico I used to live in. They're good places to hang out and meet other gamers, for sure. Just bring your own controllers. ;)

    I feel like the DS has a much better library.  I suggest you go with that.  Good luck on finding that job though.

    If you were going to work at a fast food place, make it Wendy's.

    @Claude: LMAO!


    @End_Boss: Lol they're pretty cool places.

    @gingertastic_10: I've owned both and like each other for different reasons. I'm thinking of getting a DSi though.

    @MKHavoc: I think I will and thanks.

    @natetodamax: I never minded working at McDonalds so I don't really care.

    That place actually does sound pretty damn awesome. Wish we had one around here. Also, I've beat Ghostbusters and never got the 100 percent on the PKE meter achievement I don't think. :P I'm really not one of the people to decide between PSP or DS cause I have neither but if I was in your position, I'd grab a DSi just cause of all the great games (NOT DSi WARE!) that are out for it.

    @TheGamerGeek: Yeah that's probably what I'll do. DSi Ware probably will eventually get rolling and then that'll be nice too.

    I've finally got Mass Effect and I'm really loving it. It reminds me of KOTOR but with an improved dialogue system.

    Damn, if I had a place around here like that, I know where I'd be when I wasn't working.  Hah!

    Sorry about the McDonald's job, but something else will come up.
