you rent video games from blockbuster, family video or wherever and you get it for 5 nights and beat it within a few hours of renting it or you get it for 2 nights and cant beat it for crap nor can you get close.

>.> this happens to me all the time and it annoys me to death >.O

Mhm well the reason I'd rent a game would be to help me decide whether I want to buy it or not....

Well, I guess if you rent a game like Lost Odyssey, you probably won't finish it, but if you rent Heavenly Sword you're gonna finish it very quickly

I rent games when they are short, or I want a taste of them. Fable is a good renter for me, cause it's only a few hours to beat (and whore the gamerscore).

Although when I rent shooters now and then, it bugs the hell out of me when I get way to into it and wind up racking lating fees like crazy..

For me, I don't really get into shooters cuz i hardly ever play online unless I'm really bored, so those are all rentals for me. Black Ops is a rental for me, but i'll probably get it eventually (when the price drops)

Joker, I dunno if you have a Red Box nearby, but they are renting video games now for $2 a day. This way if you beat it quick, you didn't waste $10.

We dont have those in my small college town mr rec. there is movie box thingy that is red, but family video is the only way to get video games, unless i go buy them.

There was a blockbuster but family video knocked them out of business.

Ehh econ situation hit my parents hard so they spare what they can.

and at walmart, at vincennes, when you ask for cash back you can only pull out 20 or more, 20,40,60 etc etc. So i go with 20. Its fail and it only cost me like 1.50 for laundry

75 for a wash and 50 for dry i have to run it twice.

-- when people never signal a turn at an intersection, and when you be the 'nice guy' who shares the road & lets the person get into your lane, but then you get left at the traffic light all cause of a yellow light that you cannot run?

I thought you were gonna say that. haha. but yeah, I hate that too. I tried doing that a lot when I used to rent at blockbuster, then gave up, cause I cannot beat a game in that certain time...

I always run around doing stupid thing on the game if I beat it very early. Sometime I tried to do glitch and that basically takes about hours to tried to get it right.
