Typically, you need to pay for games right away back in the electronics section.

Sometimes they'll bring it up to either customer service or that one checkout register with the cigarettes behind it, but often you'll run into an asshat employee that doesn't know they can do that.

If you know exactly what you want though, you can just go about your shopping trip as normal, then once you're at the checkout ringing things up, tell the cashier that you wanted a video game, but there was no one back in electronics while you were there. They'll typically call up and have someone bring it up to the register for you. Just be sure to be specific about title and system because employees and any customer behind you will get mighty bitchy if you have to send someone back a second time.

I love online shopping. Generally cheaper and easier than dealing with trying to find things in stores. And I would personally recommend Amazon.com to anyone. Not necessarily the amazon merchants third party sellers (those are as hit and miss as ebay), but buying directly from Amazon is a sure bet in my experience. Stellar customer service every time.

As far as good bad deals...

Hard to say what the best was. I've gotten lots of great deals on things with eBay auctions and Amazon sales.

The worst experience though would definitely be a NES system and games lot I bought on eBay one time. Came with the console, two controllers, light gun, and fifteen games. Paid about $60 for the lot (auction ended in the middle of the night - always a bad move by a seller). It was advertised to be in perfect working condition with all games having been tested prior to listing. Well, when it arrived I opened the box to be met with a massive wave of this terrible smell. Was like a combination of cat pee, skunk, and rotting flesh. Darn near made me hurl right there. Thinking that maybe it was in the box and giving the seller the benefit of the doubt as the pictures looked excellent in the listing, I unpacked the items to find that the smell was clearly coming from them. Everything had this slimy sort of film all over it and smelled awful. I didn't even bother testing it. Just write the seller. They swore everything was in perfect shape and nothing was wrong. It was obvious that the slime and smell was present before the items were shipped as the box they were in was actually find. Only a little residual smell and no sliminess on the inside. The items were all wrapped in plastic grocery bags, which were full of the same slime and smell inside them. I did get my money back and didn't have to pay for return shipping at all, so it was all okay. Took about a week before I stopped smelling that smell though.

I've spent many years studying the paranormal and messages from the dead. I've seen and felt spirits. While I can't really say how I know for certain, I can tell you that your dream was truly your Mother (or her spirit - which ever you want to call it) just trying to put your mind at ease with all that's going on in your life. Loved ones who have departed from this earth are never really gone completely. Most dreams are nothing more than your subconscious trying to work something out or experience something you're missing or desire. However, sometimes, dreams can have very powerful meanings and contain very important messages from loved ones who have moved on to another life. These messages often come at times we need them most. Sometimes they can be profound and life changing. Other times they're just a little reminder of something you need to know or remember. The dead don't speak all that often (at least not in a manner that we can easily hear them), but when they do, it's usually something important, so you should listen.

Not surprised at all if this report is true. Owens was not just main roster, but main event ready the moment he stepped through the NXT curtain the first time. Dude just has an aura and presence about him. He's a total breath of fresh air in WWE right now. Really unlike anyone else. If he can stay healthy and uninjured he sky's the limit for the guy.

Always loved Dan Severn's theme. Especially when you get it blasting over a good stereo with great bass levels. Such a badass tune.

Yes... WWE is definitely overexposed. But, at the same time, even being overexposed wouldn't be such a problem if the writing was great. WWE's problem is that there are far too many cooks in the kitchen for the main roster shows. It's written by a whole gaggle of scribes with hollywood experience and very little wrestling knowledge before being hired. Worse yet, they all answer to one man who will routinely let his ego get the best of him and who has pretty clearly lost touch with what the modern wrestling fans want (kids don't really count because they will generally suck up whatever you put in front of them until they get tired of it and move on to something else). NXT is written by a handful of folks and overseen by a guy who got into the business because he loved wrestling from when he was a child.

Point is that scaling back PPVs (which will NEVER happen) or putting out less hours of TV won't make a difference at all unless they do a better job with the writing.

One might also argue that WWE being a publicly traded company and thus not being allowed to be edgy or brutally violent from time to time has really hurt them as well. Not saying we should return to the blood, guts, and boobs of the attitude era, but let's face it, there are certain times when some blood or an extremely brutal match would do wonders for a feud or storyline.

So yes, while WWE is overexposed, there are also some other major issues at play that have cause what we see in the current product.
