So as i do every Friday when I'm only school for the morning i will go to town, get some lunch and catch the bus home. Today was no different, i went into WHSmiths grabbed a BLT and a bottle of water. As i passed the magazines i saw a recent edition of PC Gamer and seeing as i had just received my pay slip i thought i'd treat myself and catch up on the world of gaming. In a half attentative daze i looked at the magazine, read the front cover and found it appealing and therefore went to the till to buy it.
*BLT* - 1.69
*Water* 0.99
*PC Gamer* 5.99 **ID Required*** (paraphrased)
"You got ID mate?"
...
"ID for what", i replied and to my absolute amazement he wanted it for PC Gamer. Oh Em Freeking Gee !! Being a youth for one of a better term i lack the ability to qualify for popular versions of ID such as a driving liscence or a bus pass, however it wouldnt have mattered seeing as the d.o.b on my ID would have proven to make me under 18, unless the clerk was a complete sloth and failed GCSE math.
Honestly though, 18 to buy PC Gamer ?! It's on the bottom shelf next to Yu Gi OH and Pokemon! magazines, not on the 'top shelf' with more flaunting magazines such as Playboy for example.
So in my complete annoyance i chose a substitute which happened to be this weeks edition of Kerrang!, not a bad magazine by any means but still...
Nevertheless over a BLT sandwich i read how Simple Plan found inspiration for their songs, how SUM41 are coming to the UK etc etc , and THEN in context which escapes me a read an interview where there were no absence of 'blue language' (swearing).
So let me get this straight, i as a 'minor' can buy a magazine with rock stars telling people to...F this and F that, yet i cannot buy a magazing full of CGI'd images replicating that of a fictional war against space dinosaurs (Turok)
Oh dear !
Annoyed <--- ("(>_<)")
Oh also one final note, PC Gamer and Total PC Gaming are both 18's, yet Xbox gamer and PSM3 are 15's !?!?!?
Argh
Livid to say the least.

The games featured on the demo disc carry an 18 certificate so you have to be 18 to buy it, what's the problem?
Also, you can get a driving license at the age of 16 which lasts for 10 years and is the best form of ID you can carry.

More generic "indie" please ^^
Most of that stuff there is what other people have selected to listen to when at my house.
My top artists at the moment are probably along the lines of The Fiery Furnaces, Your Infamous Harp, Architecture in Helsinki, Art Brut, Belle & Sebastian, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, Dungen, "Oh No, Oh My", The Gotan Project, I'm from Barcelona, Portugal The Man, Islands, Boards of Canada, Panda Bear, The Apples in Stereo, Ratatat and Sigur Rós (the early stuff rocks).
That roughly sums up what I'm listening to atm, went through a major IDM phase :<
So fucking bored right about now.
luckily she took the hint when i tried to palm her off on a 70 year old guy and walked off without saying another word
but still :x
