Hydro Thunder

Dead last! Woo!

Look what I dug up…an arcade classic without the hassle of making change for quarters. Hydro thunder is a great game which Ryan & I discovered at Pancho’s Mexican Buffet. Every time I play this at home I feel the need to cook up a plate of tacos and get gassy. It’s a good old fashioned boat racing game with challenging tracks, simple controls, flashy background graphics, and nonstop noise. The best sound is the grumbling of the boat’s motor through your subwoofer. What do you mean you don’t have a subwoofer? Get to Best Buy, you sissy.

I’d like to go into more detail here but there’s not really much more to say. You can pick this up in most bargain bins for $1.99. A #1 combo at Taco Bell includes a burrito supreme, taco supreme and your choice of beverage. This will set you back $4.39+tax. That’s roughly seven bucks for good times, a full stomach and an hour or so on the bowl.

I was convinced for a while that it was George Carlin doing the announcements in the game.

Not Best Buy! http://www.bestbuysux.org/. Did I mention that I haven’t bought anything from Best Buy for about two years? Baaad experiences there. Very bad.

Oh please. How is Best Buy worse than Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Circuit City, and for that matter Electronics Boutique, Gamestop, Tweeter, amazon.com, and Apple Store bitch! These are all money grubbing corporations looking to pay their employees as little as possible and charge the customer as much as possible. Of course it’s a shitty place to work, but I bet employees of Best Buy complain just as much as employees of say, I don’t know, Praecis Pharmaceuticals? What’s the alternative? Going to a different privately owned store for each section of Best Buy (Cd store, video game store, computer store, home entertainment store, etc.) where some guys is making his kid work 12 hours a day for shit money? The store smells like it still has air from 1975 trapped in it and the only Xbox game he has is one sun faded copy of Van Helsing for $55. He does have a nicotine yellow stained NES for sale though. Hmmm, I’ve been meaning to pick one of those up… $50 bucks? Eh… Alright, I’ll take that and a box of those candy cigarettes.

I think the taco dog is responsible for all the hurt in the world. I’m carrying the bitch up to 10 comments.

I still have a talking plush Taco dog from when I worked at Taco Bell. It still works, but the ferrets have made it their bitch and chewed it’s ear off.

Now I call it “Evander”

When the guy from Best Buy delivered my TV, he fell going down the steps. I was afraid of lawsuit. Not really important, but I wanted to set an EMB record for most replies to a post.

Congrats to Ryan for breaking the 10 comment mark! I have used both Best Buy and my Mac and I’m confident that neither sucked at the time. How long til we get eatmybombsucks.com?

You got space for another domain Jeff…

I don’t think mac sucks, I was just making a point that nothing exists that someone somewhere won’t think sucks.

Yeah, dissect that sentence bitches!

For example, Will doesn’t like The Beatles and I don’t like God, but we both shop at Best Buy.

Oh, and Ryan doesn’t like black people.

What a bunch of jackasses. The best part of this insanity is that it all started with a simple post about Hydro Thunder.
