Spore.

Naw Spore sold well and got less returns then lets say... MySims

I unfortunately kinda liked MySims, but recognised it was pure garbage, but was fooled into belieivng MySims Kingdom was basically a true sequel (it wasn't).

you cant return PC games...and it sold well because of false advertisement, and was pirated the most because of a root-kit type DRM

its is without a doubt a bad PC game

Spore is one of the most over-hyped games out there. To me, it's only a collection of mini-games that aren't even original in designs and features. The best thing about it is the character creation. The rest are rubbish.

Napalm is great if you enjoy hot and spicy foods. I personally enjoy some liquid nitrogen.

Why follow the law?

"Acquiring" things is so much more fun and cheap.

I've played legitimate bad games before...

It is an alright game that you might as well skip then a bad game.

Though I think I had more fun playing Graffiti Kingdom (DANG IT MAKE A SEQUEL TO THAT!!!... and Monster Rancher while your at it... and maybe Fatal Frame)

What are you talking about?  The law that says that retailers are required to card customers to make sure they are following ESRB guidelines?  I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist.

There is no, there should never be a law. It should be a voluntary thing.

The ESRB guidelines provide resources for retailers of all sizes to make informed responsible choice. For instance, at walmart, for m rated games and r rated movies, the registers ask for an id check.  As does most major retailers.

Though I do find it odd that they sold you a week before and now refuse to. As for the stache, that not much of an indicator. I would try and speak with the manager and bring in your old reciete from the week previous, and and bitch and whine, to get some store credit.

I have a stache and a thin beard, like I said, I haven't shaved in four days.  Twelve year olds do not look like me... trust me on this.

Usually I'd find that funny, but I'm just not in the mood for sillyness atm.  Sorry. :P
