Man, you just never know sometimes

September 26, 2007

The other day I was in a Microplay (local game store), and someone was buying Ogre Battle from the used game set (too bad I did not see it, I so would have bought it and EBayed it due to the SNES version being rare in the wild). The guy behind the counter said it is a good game, but rather tough to get through without help, and he followed it up by recommending my FAQ to the guy.

So I strolled over and mentioned I wrote the FAQ, to which I got told off for lying! Quite amusing to hear it, so I slapped down some I.D., and the guy behind the counter did a near double take (which is really funny, I am just crazy internet FAQ writer guy, not someone important to warrant such a reaction), and he then shook my hand and said his discount was mine whenever I wanted it.

Too bad they overprice nearly everything in those stores, but still pretty cool just the same.

So I got lucky and won the Wii

Don't you hate it when school is just beating your head in?

This is by far the best tribute to MTPO ever

That is awesome beyond belief. It's great to get e-mails from people thanking you, but seeing other people recommend your work to strangers would just put the cherry on the cake. Also, what are the odds of that ever, ever happening again?

Something sort of like that happened to me one time when the manager at the EBgames (who actually was in my high school class, though we hadn't talked in years) tried to recommend Hardcore Gamer Magazine to me. It was fun to tell him that I actually am familiar with the magazine because I write for it.

I think I still like your experience better, though...

That's pretty cool . . . but that's just my opinion.

Three miracles:

#1 - Ogre Battle cartridge
#2 - Running into guy who references your work
#3 - Attendant is not a complete goofball

Nice. :p
