(Also shockingly violent - not for the kiddies!) Greek mythology has never been so fun (even if it is a bit off). There’s just one word for this game: stunning. Now, I pretty much outgrew video games in college (except for the occasional game of StarCraft or original Alien Hominid), but this game had the magic to draw me completely back in. One of the games the owner was recommending was God of War. The owner said he could actually fix it! Meanwhile, the kid, in desperate need of his video game fix, was returning to the shop every few hours to inquire about the status of his precious PS2.

It seems his mom got so fed up with his excessive game playing that she picked up his PS2 and smashed it against the ground. While I was in the shop, there was a high school boy in there seeking out the owner with all the anxiety of a parent going to visit a sick child in the hospital. The cost of the system itself is a bit prohibitive, though. Nowadays, kids in Shanghai can get the newest video games for pocket change. In that shop, pirated PS2 games go for 5 RMB each! I remember when I was a teenager I had to mow quite a few lawns to earn the money I needed to buy the NES cartridges I was dying to have.

The owner highly recommends them, as the locally manufactured ones break/wear out too easily. The imported controllers are more expensive than locally manufactured ones, though. > Me: Ummm, I thought that had something to do with historical events… > Owner: Sony is Japanese! The Japanese always do this! They make good stuff and sell it to the USA, then they sell all the crappy electronics in China, for higher prices than the good stuff sells for in the USA! Why do you think we hate the Japanese? > Me: Why are the ones made in China more expensive? Shouldn’t they be cheaper?

The conversation went something like this: That’s right, the PS2’s manufactured in China cost more, and according to the owner the quality isn’t as good.
