Holy PSO nonexistence, Batman!

There isn't even a hint of Phantasy Star, let alone Phantasy Star Online or any of its expansions within a 100-mile radius central Pennsylvania (where I live, for those of you keeping score at home).

*smacks Ed Rendell* YOU AND YOUR STINKIN' STATE!

I'm pretty sure PSO's out of print, and most places won't carry used copies due to serial number weirdness. You're about 4 years late.

Ahh, another one who lives in Pennslyvania...I'm not alone, still doesn't make a lick of difference on my opinion of where I live...it's a boring state...

or any of its expansions

By that, I meant Ep. I & II+. Sorry I wasn't clear. Don't ban me. Raping me is OK as long as you use lube, but just don't ban me.

You can still buy PSOv2 from play-asia.com. I did it for no apparent reason.

I need a GCN version. My damn Dreamcast was used when I bought it. No modem to speak of.

PSO Plus just came out. The original GCN version of PSO is pretty rare now (bwahahaha, I have two!... Long story)... But PSO Plus is easy as hell to find. Every self respecting videogame store carries it.

But then again, you're in Pennsylvania. That state sucks. Just like Rhode Island. And all those middle states. And those Southern states too. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Alaska sucks too.

Isn't there no tax in Alaska or something?

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck. I think oil companies actually pay people to live there.

And it has the highest suicide and divorce rate out of all states. Yeah, if my dad would have taken a certain job he was offered, I could be up there right now.

I thought the highest suicide rate was in Washington or Oregon...

My state would have the highest suicide and divorce rate, too if only three people and some seals lived here.

Actually, I live right next to the UK's most popular suicide spot. It's this big ol' seaside cliff edge called Beachy Head (supposedly named for its unique capacity for allowing its visitors to beach their heads. In, like, some rocks). People drive from the top of Scotland to jump off the bottom of England, right where I live. I consider it an honour.

You should start charging them for access. They're gonna die, so I don't think the would mind.

If I ever decide to commit suicide, which I'm starting to predict as an eventual inevitability, I'm going to sell everything I own and use all the money on a one-way trip to some secluded, exotic location rich in natural beauty. There I will spend my final days in solitude, thinking about life and the human condition, writing my thoughts in a notebook. When I'm finished, or when the hunger becomes unbearable, or if I become painfully wounded, I'll find a comfortable spot with a view and inject poison, then lie down to my final rest.

Chances are I'll enjoy it so much, I'll just forget the suicide thing and become a mountain hermit or something.

My advice: Try sex with a man before you kill yourself.

It problably won't change your mind, but at least you'll be 100% sure.

Actually, since we really don't know anything about your lovelife, I'm going to go ahead and reccomend you try sex with a woman, too. Odds are actually against you having experienced it.

You're just jealous because my suicide plan is better than yours.

I heard my state, Utah, has the highest suicide rate among teenagers. I thought that was kind of interesting.

Its not. You aren't either. There is no purpose in you continued presence in this world. You live in Utah.

Could be worse, I could live in Texas.

Texas doesn't have a high suicide rate because all the white people there are killed by raiding Mexican banditos and all of the minorities are on Death Row.

And um... Apparently, people take cruises to Alaska... Meaning they PAY to go ENJOY themselves in that frozen Hell. I doubt they ever get off the boat, though.

You guys are pudgewhompers, I'd love to visit Alaska. I bet it's got snow!

Apparently there's only one GameStop in the whole state. Back before the store I worked at fell into managerial disarray, Justin, who was third key at the time and is going to be some kind of international lawyer or something, visited the frozen store on one of his debate club expeditions. He said it was filthy and totally out of order. Which makes sense, I bet they don't have to worry about surprise DM visits.

That'd be nice. But, I'm more or less fucked in that department. My store is where my DM's office is. x_x

That's gotta suck. Our store was so well in-order when I was hired, I didn't even meet the DM until seven or eight months later. At that time he only visited our store once every five or six months because nothing ever went wrong. Those were the days...
