Not entirely unexpected, but...
Dec. 9th, 2008 07:29 pmI wandered into Tesco earlier, intending to restock the empty fridge. Somehow, I ended up wandering down the video games aisle and glancing at the PS3 games.
Prince of Persia.
Resistance 2.
Tomb Raider: Underworld.
"Hmm", I thought, "I'm getting a bit behind with my gaming - still working my way through GTA IV and Bioshock; haven't even started Fallout 3 yet, and here are three games I was really looking forward to..."
And then I wandered off. An aisle or two later, I idly wondered if this meant that I'd improved my willpower, or just that I wasn't entirely feeling well...?
Ten minutes after that, I reached the checkout and realised that a copy of Tomb Raider was in my basket. Once I noticed it, I did remember putting it there - but I'd blanked it completely in the interval, once it was safely hidden under the multiseed bagels and cavolo nero...
Ooops.
Prince of Persia.
Resistance 2.
