I never wear beanies.  This is probably because I've only ever had one, but I still really don't have any reason to wear one as the winters do not get that cold where I live.  Such being the case, the fact that I preordered Mercs 2 almost solely to get the beanie is somewhat bewildering, though the mag is pretty cool (and shiny!) and the bonus unlockable costume should make the game a bit more interesting, or at least provide some freshness. 

   I say "should" because I forgot about that being part of the package, and when I went to pick it up this morning after waiting 10 minutes for the store to open, I neglected to make sure that the paper w/ the code on it was included.  I later realized the absence of unlock-code-ness and called the store to tell them that I did not get one.  Turns out, they ran out of codes shortly after opening earlier today.  I then mentioned that I was a member of the 7-person group waiting for the noon opening and actually the second to a register.  The manager seemed confused as to why I did not get one, as am I, and I've read on a forum that many retailers completely forget to hand them to those picking up their orders.  Anyway, I'm going back tomorrow to see if he could find one for me. I may just have to get the e-mailed code like everyone who ordered it online.  Why do I want one so bad?  Because Jennifer Mui looks mega-sexy in that black outfit; needless to say I like the poster that comes in the mag.  Although, I'm not sure if that's the one, but if it is, I want it!
