Grots says ~byes! for good

~Sigh~
It's post patch day, too bad im missing the joys of it, it's done.... Grots has been passed onto a lucky new owner on Ebay, its hard not to feel some sort of attachment, even the money in my pocket does little for this. I have worked it out, Wow is quite possibly the first and the last video game i made a profit out of. Here's the working out

21 months of WoW + Retail value of the game = 7*USD$41.27 + AUD$70? = ~USD$340

With Sale value - auction fees - all subcription + retail fees. Its a clear profit. I wonder if i have to pay tax on it somewhere.

So i have clear profit from this one, lets not think of the time investment that was put into it, it does make me shudder, you could have called it a 2nd job with the number of hours invested but it was all in the name of entertainment, I think, so im going to write that one off.

So with that and my pressing need for more HD space for my next addiction:

It was quite uncanny and quite fitting for all this to happen today, Binh and Kerrie joined me for a visit down memory lane at the Science Museum's latest exhibit "GAME ON FKERS!". Being a Friday where regular people are working and stuff, I took a page out of Juz's book and got paid to go out. It was an impressive exhibition covering Arcade/Console games back from its humble beginnings with Pong in the 70's to the PS3 and Wii.

There were many favourites from Xevious, DigDug, Gravius, some bomberman knock off, Street Fighter 2 and some classic games i can now say i have played on the actual arcades, D(M)onkey Kong, Pong, Asteroids, Centipede,Tron, Star Wars 1983 just to name a few. Disappointingly the only PC game i saw or rather the only port of a PC game was the classic Monkey Island!!!! mmm it would have been good to see but ah well.

Part of the exhibition inc a turn on the Wii OR PS3 so with 3 of us it was a game of tennis on the Wii. I have to say its pretty cool but im not sure how long the gimmick factor will keep me going, side by side the PS3 had stunning graphics but questionable gameplay, the Wii has less pretty pictures but seemed more fun to mess around with so meh, i have other housemates intent on a Wii so well see what happens.

Full concentration required!
