I've got this feeling like my best days are behind me.

After a series of unexpected setbacks, man, the slightest little thing can send me straight back to insane country.

For instance: a clerical error for which I am completely blameless has retarded any attempt to enroll in summer classes; I just got the "screw up again and your fired" treatment at work; I'm having serious, serious social anxiety issues and I'm getting kinda lonely in the existential sense.

However, I knew that, on Monday June 17th I would finally have me some current-gen videogame experiences, namely: Metal Gear Solid 4

I got home, tore into the packaging, hooked the system up and... nothing. Didn't work.

After nearly 4 hours on the phone with SCE tech support, it was decided that my PS3 was damaged in shipping (they dared not to utter what I suspect to be the real cause of my electronic problems: a faulty system snuck though Q&A and I was the lucky dude who got it). Luckily I can just swap the faulty unit at my place of employment for a new one... except OH WAIT WE ARE OUT OF PS3 MGS BUNDLES.

Sigh.
