Rockband: "Intentionally In The Dark?"
Posted: Tuesday October 16th, 2007

There's always been this delicate balance between Ted's motivation and his common sense. And, where games are concerned, his motivations waill always wins out.
This comic, on some level, is a mirror of my own situation. While I wait patiently for some of our ad clients to pay their invoices, I watch my bank account thin out. That thinning did NOT stop me from using the company credit card to pay for the Rockband pre-order though.
Sure it might be a tad irresponsible and I realize Rockband is still a month out. But, how can I not prepare for the possibility that availability might fall short of demand?
Now, I'm certain I'm not alone in this. Maybe it wasn't Rockband, and it probably wasn't the power bill. But it does beg the question: what "necessity" have you sacrificed for the sake of a video game? (I bet the old school EQ'ers will have the market cornered on this one.)
