NO BASEBALL FOR YOU
2K Sports did not make a new major league baseball game this year. The other baseball game franchise, MLB The Show, is published by Sony, and only available on Sony consoles.
What this means for you and me, dear readers, is that there was NO NEW BASEBALL GAME ON THE XBOX THIS YEAR.
Naturally, people bought up all our copies of the older baseball games for the 360 right quick, leaving us with nothing but a busted old copy of Major League Baseball 2K9 that no one wants.
A nice lady and her rude friend came in looking for a baseball game for the 360 for the nice lady's kid.
"All we've got for baseball on the 360 is one copy of Major League Baseball 2K9," I said. They proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions about the availability of other years that I had already answered by saying "All we've got for baseball on the 360 is one copy of Major League Baseball 2K9."
The woman who was actually looking for the game was totally chill, like, oh, I'll just ask my kid if he wants a different sport, then. The other woman, not so much.
"Well, maybe WAL-MART has it," she sniffed, while I was still talking to the actual customer.
"Do you have any other sports?"
"Oh, yeah. We've got plenty of football, basketball, and soccer."
"We should just go look at WAL-MART."
"Ok, cool. I'll ask him if he wants any of those."
"Let's check at WAL-MART first."
The way she said it it was clear she was trying to make me feel like crap for not having a bunch of out-of-print video games in the season where they're in the most demand. Like, seriously, lady. If the video game specialty store is out of every year of Major League Baseball, the fucking Wal-Mart isn't going to have it.
After they left, I checked Wal-Mart's website, like I always do when people are trying to tell me how great Wal-Mart is. Sure enough, they're out of stock of Major League Baseball 2K13 both on their website, and in every single store in my city.
I mean, for fuck's sake. Just buy the kid a ball and a baseball glove.
