My local branch of 'GAME', on the ball as ever:
Van Hemlock: Latest New Releases!
Yes indeed, that is a real copy of the Asheron's Call 2: Legions expansion - there's actually two there. This pic was taken on a friend's mobile phone last Tuesday. Now I know, and you know, that Asheron's Call 2 is dead, rendering that particular box there, about as useful as an AOL CD - i.e. Will keep coffee warm for a reasonable length of time, but is no substitute for a real cork coaster. That CD cannot function.
I'm guessing someone missed a memo somewhere along the line, and I suppose the decent thing to do would have been to explain to the store manager, to use my arcane expertise of the MMO world for Good! So naturally, me and my friend both dead-panned it, and left, and I'll be keeping an eye on it, just to see how long it stays on the shelf. Stay tuned - the excitement never ends!
I came across my box for Asheron's Call 2 itself the other day, and it felt wierd, holding a computer game I could never use again. I may as well have thrown it out, but instead decided to keep it as a momento - a part of my life I can truly never return to...
