They had two registers open in electronics. I saw one guy at each register, and thought, "oh wow, there's hardly anyone here." Got in line. I glanced out the corner of my eye and saw an employee standing a few feet away, and it seemed like she was eyeing me. "Yeah, I see you there" she said. I thought that was a weird thing to say. I wasn't even sure if she was talking to me or not.
"Hey, can I help you? I'm standing right here." So I turn and look at her, and I'm totally confused. "Uhh...I just want to buy the game."
"Yeah well you have to get in line." And she points behind her to the back wall of the store, where dozens of people are lined up. "Holy shit." So I go down the main aisle glancing down the rows, heading towards the back, wondering where this line will end. I get most of the way back to the store. This is in a Super Wal-Mart. There must be like a hundred people in front of me. The guy directly in front of me, some odd lookin' fellow, immediately turns around and starts making conversation. I pretty much expected this. "So they got like 130 copies, man. I don't think we're gonna make it." I glance down the line and do some quick counting...there must be like 50-80 people in line. I say they probably have enough. He's kinda worried, and bugging me. Won't stop talking.
Then I realize that this is fucking stupid. So I left, and I'm just gonna pick it up tomorrow. Waiting in a line for 45min to an hour for a game? No thanks, I have better things to do, like sleep (after this post).
Only upon leaving the store did I realize that female employee's town was completely snide and rude, what a bitch. I wish I had said something. I should've known better than to expect anything from Wal-Mart! Fuck those guys.
So uhhh.... how is line formed

I've set up a TF2 server on my box in the Netherlands. It's been running for a while now but no ones been using it - mainly due to a lack of advertising :) (I'd only mentioned it a couple of times in steam chat and once here).
83.149.73.47:27015 (you should also be able to use tf2.creative-extremes.com:27015)
password can be found in the usual place.
If there are any configuration changes needed, let me know.
I'll be keeping the server active for as long as I can, the machine only handles web traffic now (and fairly low traffic at that), so it should be fairly responsive - however if the tf2 server starts interferring with the machines day to day functions, I may have to take it down.
I get about 60ms ping from the Isle of Man.

Dante's Prayer - This is perhaps my favourite song. I love it so much.

Full Circle - Another of my favourites. I can't get over that distinctive instrument. I love the mood of this piece.

The Mummer's Dance - Perhaps her best known song. The awful dance remix of this song got a lot of radio play.

Hmm, this could be interesting.
