Help Frank Not Get Murdered by SarahK
Posted by Frank J. at 12:29 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

SarahK had been trying to locate a Wii to buy me as a Christmas present and we were avoiding those expensive bundles they sold online, but yesterday I was really dumb and ordered a bundle from Toys R' Us online with five games and some $40 starter pack I probably don't want (at least the whole thing was $50 cheaper than listed now when I ordered). By the time I realized how stupid and bad I was, it was too late to cancel the order. Anyone know my option on unloading the games I don't want since Toys R' Us isn't being cooperative. Like, can I return them without a receipt unopened to Wal-Mart for at least store credit so we can buy the food my reckless spending has denied us?

Stupid dumb bad Frank! The whole point of the book was to get us out of debt, but, no, you had to...

BTW, this has inspired me to do a new comic series I hope to premiere soon.

So does this mean you finally have your Wii?

Ducky,
Yeah (it's shipping). Now I just need to not get murdered.

#2 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 15, 2006 12:50 PM

One word Frank: Jewelry. I don't care if she says she doesn't like it, women LOVE shiny things almost as much as we do once they're looking at themselves in it. It increases the debt load, but it keeps you alive long enough to pay for it with Volume II of the book.

#3 - Posted by: P.J. on December 15, 2006 12:54 PM

by the way, Ducky was also looking in all of the california stores for me as well.

and, what the heck? there's a frakkin skateboard game? are you kidding me? i should bonk you over the head with a real skateboard.

Here lies Frank J. Fleming,

He knew better.

R.I.P.

#5 - Posted by: Beo on December 15, 2006 01:09 PM

No problem.

If she kills you...

Hit the reset button.


#6 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on December 15, 2006 01:40 PM

Apparently liberals aren't the only ones with dumb monkey faces... :o)

#7 - Posted by: G Fresh on December 15, 2006 01:52 PM

RWD, you win the internets for that last comment.

#8 - Posted by: SilverBubble on December 15, 2006 01:53 PM

...but seriously, depending on what kind of discount you got on the games for buying them as a bundle, you might be able to sell them on ebay at the suggested retail price and actually make a buck or two.

#9 - Posted by: G Fresh on December 15, 2006 01:55 PM

Before she kills you do this:

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start

#10 - Posted by: Chris on December 15, 2006 01:59 PM

If she kills you, can I have the Wii?

#11 - Posted by: Dan M on December 15, 2006 02:02 PM

G Fresh,
No discount. The whole point of the bundle is to force you to buy games you don't want to buy the system.

Dan,
No!

#12 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 15, 2006 02:07 PM

Face it FrankJ your murder by SarahK is going to happen, it is more a question of when.

#13 - Posted by: loomdog on December 15, 2006 02:59 PM

Well, there is always the option of Seppuku.

#14 - Posted by: fmragtops on December 15, 2006 03:10 PM

Frank

Just remind her not to pistol whip you since it will mar the finish on the gun.

#15 - Posted by: Denny on December 15, 2006 03:51 PM

I bet SarahK is going to love that skate board game. She'll thank you later FrankJ.

#16 - Posted by: AlaskaNick on December 15, 2006 05:09 PM

I don't want the game system, but I'll buy the remote from you.

Well....what games? I might be interested.

#17 - Posted by: FWGMills on December 15, 2006 05:33 PM

Isn't she supposed to submit to you "in all things?"

#18 - Posted by: Marie on December 15, 2006 06:07 PM

There's worse bundles.

You'll want the starter kit - unless you've got SD cards laying around, or don't want to overwrite the pictures in your camera.

Tony Hawk's actually an OK series, and this version is likely to have its moments;
Marvel UA is a decent game, though not much of a showcase for doomed gimmick controller;
Call of Duty 3 is a pretty blah FPS, but it does use the controller well from what I hear (and have seen from the 360 version);
they say sports games are what the thing's designed for, so you can do worse than Madden (but not too much);
and if you buy a Nintendo machines without friggin' Zelda, then you're definitely better off spending your money somewhere else.

So sarahk, please don't kill Frank for that bundle. Do feel free to kill him when you find out how fun Guitar Hero is, though. :-p

Oh, and if you really don't want any of those games: EBGames usually has promotions where you give two recent products back, and you can get a new game for like $10. (Wasteful, but hey, beats a funeral.)

#19 - Posted by: Francesco Poli on December 15, 2006 06:23 PM

Marie,
There are different interpretations of that.

Poli,
There are worse bundles as all those games got decent ratings... they're just not my first pick of the release titles (other than Zelda, of course).

Guitar Hero does seem really cool, but I'm not going to buy a system just for it.

#20 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 15, 2006 06:35 PM

Forget the Wii, when SarahK kills you, can I have her?

(Not that I'd turn down the Wii either...)

#21 - Posted by: GEBIV on December 15, 2006 08:37 PM

Denny, I would NEVER mar the finish on a gun like that.

#22 - Posted by: sarahk on December 15, 2006 09:08 PM

I just pray that the murder is not by Bobbitization. Good luck Frank.

#23 - Posted by: Moneyman on December 15, 2006 11:12 PM

Wait till she finds the Kelly Pickler CD he got her to make up for it... He's a goner for sure!
