All right so here’s the scoop, this may seem complex, outrageous, and utterly ridiculous, but it so totally did happen in R.L. in an online lobby of Halo 2 (picture proof below):
A few months ago I posted on the boards about a deal I had just found at Best Buy. Apparently, moderator Trakan read my post and decided to hastily get in on the deal as well. The deal would only work if the sale price totaled to a minimum of $10, which was unbeknownst to Trakan at the time. As a result, Trakan’s trip was wasted due to the fact of not knowing of the $10 minimum. At this news Trakan was highly agitated due to the fact that he was on a trip to Texas to see his apparently attractive “girlfriend” and had to go out of his way to find a means of transportation. All the while moderator Ledhed had sneakily walked to his local Best Buy, in his hometown of Arlington, and picked up on the exact same deal that Trakan was not able to buy minutes prior.
How does this connect back to me you ask? Well, Trakan, Cheapy D, and myself were all playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live when I began to brag about my awesome finds earlier in the day. Cheapy D went on to writing up a front-page post on the subject about the $10 minimum. Trakan on the other hand, remained eerily silent throughout all of the discussion and just wanted to “get on with the game.” Midway through the following Halo 2 match, there came a message from Ledhed asking for an invite into our game. Seeing as how we had four people already, we really did not want to invite him in. Regardless, Trakan let Ledhed slip in.
Humorously Ledhed told us of his tale of arriving at Best Buy late due to his car being stolen, only to find out that it was at his house whenever he walked back home. Upon hearing this, an argument broke out between Trakan and Ledhed. From what I was able to hear over the headset, Ledhed had found blood on his car when he arrived home, which led him to wonder what could have happened. Apparently Ledhed did not have time to examine his car for long due to the fact that his JakeT was not where he had left it in the sandbox before leaving for Best Buy.
Well, to spare the masses of the obscene details, Ledhed was apparently “a fag” and had Trakan down for the weekend to hang out along with moderator JakeT (as was later discovered Renegade Zero was also in town to play the “catcher” in Mario Superstar Baseball later on that night). While this was happening Zewone hopped online and found his way into the lobby, only to be taken aback at the unfolding events. Thinking the story was quite hilarious; Zewone then invited Jimmie Mac into the room to make fun of this apparent pirate/man/love fest (hence the sandbox refrence above). There was much commotion but apparently due to the overwhelming homosexuality of America, Cheapy D decided to move to a more heterosexual Japan, Zewone removed the now labeled “Ledfag” from his friends list, Trakan went home to only moderate CAG and stopped gaming altogether, JakeT was run over and killed by Trakan in his haste to get a good deal, Renegade Zero was never found, and Jimmie Mac decided that we were all gay and understandably hosted a video of which I made of these events of a Best Buy deal turned bad on youtube.com.
