it's here! (another game i can't play edition)

oh yeah, it happened again.

while i really appreciate the thought and hooking up with a new company is rad, sega of america skimmed my e-mail requesting review copies and information and plunked a ps3 version of condemned 2 into a ups envelope and sent it through the wonderful courier network.

so we're at this again.

the real issue here is that i'm forced into a corner where i have to question my dedication to the craft i'm so badly trying to break into.

a) i can just say 'f-it', leave the game and go on to one of the many other reviews i still need to write.

b) i can tell sega that they sent me the wrong platform for this game, and probably receive no response or potentially piss them off so they don't send me more (which is a probable case in choice a as well).

c) i can try to find a way to get a ps3.

but the third option has me troubled. while i knew i would eventually need to figure this issue out, i didn't know it would be this fast.

i'm at a point where it may be an issue of committing to this crazy venture to the point where my other hobbies become subjugated by my job. i may have to get rid of a piece of guitar gear to fully commit.

see, i've got a tube amp i've stopped using and it would probably sell for about the same price as a ps3. it's like that scene in back to the future iii. the point of no return.

if i make that decision, there's no turning back. i've got to get that De Lorean back to the future or crash and burn in clayton eastwood ravine.

or better yet, work might pay for one.

either way it's feeling kind of symbolic like a training montage in a rocky flick.

will give deets when there are some to give.

peace be the journey,

JD
