Mad World

After a brief explanation to Phil that Call of Duty 3 (set during WW2) and Call of Duty: World at War (also set during WW2) are different games, he decided that he too wished to own a copy.

It was, and is, my plan to run out to GameStop -- and by run I mean smile at my Papa until he drives me there -- buy a nice little used copy of World at War, and then speed back home to get cracking on the solo campaign.

[Because that's not what I'm playing for, no, I'm playing for the co-op Nazi Zombie extra thing at the end of the game. Mmmm....yes.]

But I wasn't sure that my brother should be shelling out the ...er... medium-sized bucks on a game that I would already be buying for myself. I mean, I would play it for a while... but then I would be done with it for years (as per my usual pattern).

So I told him this, following it up with a "So are you sure? ...Are you sure you're sure?" and he said:

"Just take out thirty bucks [out of his box]. Whether or not you do, I would be spending it anyway."

(me:) "...What?"

"It just seems like a really good idea to spend thirty dollars on this."

How do I argue with that?
