Interesting fact: Today was the first mention of SARS in Toronto.
I heard yesterday that the Toys R Us in the downtown core was closing up, and so after I left work today I decided to check it out and see if I could score a sweet deal.
The place used to be two stories full of toys, now it's down to half-a-floor. ;_; It looks so sad to see it like that, but at least it wasn't a pile of stuff that was rummaged through. It was still well-organized and on the shelves, everything with bright orange tags.
Guh, I hope that if I ever run a business I don't ever have the store looking like that, tho. Closings suck. ;_;
I found the cutest thing for my sister's birthday, and as I was told that games were being sold cheap, I went primarily to see if I could get a game or two I was interested in.
Kevin had mentioned playing Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy at a point and liking it, and I knew he was a Resident Evil fan, so I noted that Sphinx and RE0 were still there. I grabbed them and wandered the rest of the game bins.
Aside from them both being $30, they were further discounted another 20%, so I managed to pick up two, two, TWO games for less than the price of one! :P
Nothing else of importance, really. :\ A lot of sports games. I didn't check the PS2 or XBox bins, as I don't have either. But Dave and Erin searched through it yesterday and only noted a couple of games - like Frequency and Amplitude for awesome prices.
I wish I had known about it (the store closing) sooner, but hey, I've got a couple of new games now. ^_^ So far, I'm liking Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. It's tricky (lost all my life after only finding the first save point, so that's a good challenge!)
I go back to work on Monday. If anyone's interested, I'll pop by and see if I can snag stuff for people. :)
Hey Chris and Ysa, The Regent Cinema on Mount Pleasant (just south of Eglinton) is showing The Corporation. Maybe we can finally see this movie! - And hopefully the roof won't cave in O.o

I was thinking about picking up SATCM, but thought the better of it. Now that I know you have it, I'll have to check it out.

All you have to remember is that UP is always forward, and that LEFT and RIGHT on the control stick or d-pad is always corresponding to your character's left and right, not yours. I've finished every RE game out there not called "Survivor" or "Outbreak", and I haven't had any trouble. Obviously, millions of other people have had the same success, or there wouldn't be so many sequels. Not to mention the movies.
