I Played a 3DS for the First Time Today

While I was job hunting earlier, I decided to swing by a couple of my local Gamestops to ask about applications, on top of everywhere else I was going. The 3DS was set up in the second Gamestop, and the line was moving fairly slow. I went over to it, leaving my friend in line, and Street Fighter IV was in. I went ahead and bumped up the 3D all the way, and played a fight. Overall, the 3D didn't really impress me. Maybe it was just Street Fighter, but I was just flat out not impressed by it. Not trying to troll or anything, I just wasn't as entertained by it as others seem to be.

I realize I'm late to the show here, but I haven't made it a point to go out of my way and play a 3DS. At least the one at Gamestop was in good shape and not totally screwed over like most display systems tend to get.

In other news, I went job hunting today. Most places didn't even have paper applications and just told us (my friend and I) to go print one offline and bring it in. Hell, Barnes and Noble were the only ones that actually had paper applications. Target was the only one out of all of the ones we went to that had an application kiosk, but I was lacking my Social Security number, so that was a no go until I go back (preferably just with the last four numbers written on the palm of my hand or something). Tomorrow or Monday, me and my friend are going to hit the local places and see what we can find. We spent about five hours going around to quite a few stores though with very minimal success. Of course, it was only about three of job hunting, two of actual travel time (we were on foot).

Hell, I even went into the Mac Store to ask for an application. I need a job that badly.

Now my feet feel like shit, I'm tired, and feel like today was less than successful.

Guys, two things:
1) That worn out shitty 3DS is obviously not gonna impress you. When I bought mine, I was like "WOAHHH It's THREE-FREAKING-DEE!" Then when I tried it at the store, "WTF IS THIS FINGERPRINT DISGUSTING WORN OUT 3DS MADNESS?!"

2) Street Fighter's 3D is crap. You want some nice 3D, go to the home menu and touch the 3DS Sound icon. The spinning disc looks amazing.

The one at that Gamestop was actually in excellent condition. They could have reboxed and sold it as new, and nobody would have known the difference. I still don't know if it was just the game, or the idea that I think 3D and just kinda go "meh," but I just don't think I would be impressed with what the system is named for.
