So a man's life to you is worth five bucks in store credit out of the pockets of a multi-billion dollar corporation? That's cold.

But seriously, this is about as victimless a crime as there can be. Don't start about how the guy who worked there could have lost his job or whatever either, since he works there to this day. I have never out-and-out stolen anything from a store since I was about five.

I'm sorry, but when you're as constantly strapped for cash as me, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for the big guy.

I shot a man just to watch him die.


Ironically, I miss a game that I've never owned: I think it's called Dead Rising. Isn't that the one about the zombies and the camera man in the mall..? I watched a friend play it, and since have thought about the game alot..

If you're constantly strapped for cash, wouldn't it be smarter to just save your money instead of buying video games?

Really, if this was a case of life and death or you were basically trying to survive, most of us would probably let it slide. But this isn't the same thing so don't even bother trying to pull the sympathy card.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

One man's life in a nearly seven billion population.

Anyway, I think you missed my point or I made a bad analogy trying to make it to begin with.  The point I meant was that someone can rationalize any crime, but that doesn't make it alright.

???

What sympathy card? I told an anecdote about how I commited an exceedingly minor crime and you guys are blowing it ridiculously out of proportion.

I've there is a Wii version, but's it's not as good...?

I started reading the last few posts from the bottom up and got somewhat disturbed for a while.

sold at ridiculously high prices (eBay sellers love to do this).
I'm currently looking for OoT gold cart for my friend.  On eBay, the only things worse than sellers selling items at ridiculously high prices are sellers who set a reserve price, and bidders that up the bid by over 10 bucks, basically ruining it for frugal buyers such as myself.

OoT gold carts aren't even rare. We get them all the time at work. $14.99
That was a joke.

I'm trying to get one for under 10 bucks, so my friend doesn't have to pay much back.

My OoT copy is gray but I've got that cool gold Majora's Mask with the lenticular cartridge art.

I've never seen a gray MM cart, so I don't think they exist.

Yeah same here. The gold cart with wacky sticker on it really stood out amongst other normal carts though.

There are, however, non-lenticular versions of Majora's Mask.
