Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:54 pmMy brother could not possibly be any more obvious that he's trying to find something to get me for my birthday.
He knows I was looking at Mass Effect comics - they have the Invasion ones at Toys R Us, but they never have the first issue, so I didn't buy them. He texted me today asking if I was ever got them, to which I replied that I didn't but that I also wasn't buying Mass Effect stuff any more - which is true, as I am not. Then he asked how much the comics were at Toys R Us.
Now, I do still want to read them. I don't actually want to buy them, though, at least not until Bioware gets their shit together. (I was going to ask for all the Mass Effect books for my birthday, actually, but then the end of Mass Effect 3 and Bioware's handling of it happened, and I don't want to give my money to a company that can shamelessly lie to me like that unless they can own up to their mistakes. It's Bioware's loss, really.)
Fortunately I didn't have to explain any of that to my brother, since apparently the local comic shop wants $17 for issue one of Invasion. Toys R Us is asking $3.50 an issue - they never actually have issue one, but if they did, you could buy all for of them for $14, so it's kind of a rip-off.
(Since he's already at the comics shop anyway, though, I threw him a bone and told him I'm also interested in Thor or Iron Man comics. I don't actually expect anything - I'd forgotten about my birthday, actually - but if he gets me something it'll be nice.)
fake!edit: omg my friends are so awesome. SO. AWESOME. I stopped writing this post to check my phone, which had just gone off, and saw I had a message from Kay that she sent me a birthday picture on Facebook! So I logged onto facebook to see what it was, of course, and - she and Mams made me a gif of techno turian and Garrus (in a party hat) wishing me happy birthday! <:D! My birthday's actually tomorrow but she said she couldn't wait and I don't even care, it brightened up my whole day and it's just - aaaaa it's so awesome!
