Wal-Mart? Sony-Mart!

Let me tell you a story about honesty, tension,

excitement and pleasure that might bring

a tear to your eye. It was Wednesday, October 25

2000 and your Editor in Chief, Clay Withrow, arrived

at Wal-Mart exactly 30 minutes till 11:00 am. I asked

the clerk to put me in line as the first to receive my 

Playstation 2. I endured twelve hours of Toy Story 2 and

countless white trash Wal-Mart goers who found it

necessary to ask why a "game thingy" is so dared

important. I told them to go f$#% their F%$%king sheep

in their f@#%king trailer. Beyond this I also was drenched in

rain half of the time due to a terrible storm we had around

the time that I got out of class. Eventually my friends brought

me a change of close which I switched into without leaving 

my spot in line. I relaxed once again and enjoyed another viewing

of the incredible Toy Story 2. The day went by quite rapidly and 

before I knew it I was standing in front of 27 Playstation 2 boxes and 

I would be the first to purchase one. At exactly 12:01am I presented my

credit card with trembling hands to the cashier and when the 

transaction had come to a close I was walking away with a PS2 at 

which time the entire store lit up with applause just for me. I stopped 

and look around to see people just like me clapping for a cause 

that only we could ever appreciate. I never knew what I had 

accomplished until that time. After that night I remembered 

what made video games so great in the first place, the excitement.

 I don't think any person that day could have felt the anticipation

flowing threw my body.

Here is a list of the games that I purchased:

Ridge Racer V

SSX

TimeSplitters

Tekken Tag Tournament
