Nancy Drew? In the palm of my hand? Make it so.
There is a Nancy Drew DS game, and soon it will be mine! Not as soon as I would've liked, though. Mike and I went into EB Games on Tuesday so he could pick up Eternal Sonata. While I was waiting for him, I browsed through the printout of new and upcoming releases for DS games and saw the Nancy Drew game on the list. According to that printout, it was supposed to be released that day, but when I asked about it, the elfin-looking guy behind the counter said that the release date on that list is actually the day it ships, so they wouldn't have it in until Wednesday. With that in mind, I stopped Best Buy on my way home on Wednesday to pick up Nancy Drew, but they told me the game wouldn't be released until next Tuesday. My next stop was EB Games, where they told me that, yes, they had said the game would be in stock that day, but, well, it wasn't. And even though my little elfin friend from the previous day looked in the computer and called one of the other local EB Games stores, they couldn't tell me why. So I pouted, ate the ice cream Mike bought me at Maggie Moos (he knows how to make everything better), then went home and ordered it online. I even paid extra to have it delivered by the weekend so I could play my new game instead of studying for my networking test. In spite of that, the UPS site says it's going to be delivered on Monday. This does not please me at all. There is a Nancy Drew game that can be played on my pretty, pretty DS, but I CAN'T PLAY IT YET BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT ANY SOONER THAN MONDAY. Good thing I'll be able to spend most of Wednesday getting acquainted with Ms. Drew while I sit in waiting rooms.
If I do not have my game by Wednesday, HEADS WILL ROLL.
