I got a new job where I have to show up to the office by 8. Good news is that it's a good job that pays well. Bad news is that the schedule didn't allow me to stand outside Target this morning and see if they got the ME3 Collector's Edition?
So what does my dad do? He goes to work early like usual, leaves his lab at 7:50, makes the short drive to Target, stands outside the store a few minutes, makes his way to the electronics section and asks about a game I'm not even sure they got. He walks out with one of two Collector's Editions they received and sends me this text:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!!!!!!!!!"
My dad found Commander Shepard. The galaxy can now be saved. It's the first time in a solid decade that one of my parents has bought me a game, and he doesn't even want me to pay him back.
And that... is a top tier dad.

I did from Target. That preorder won't get here for a couple weeks though, and I couldn't have that! Now I have the option to either cancel it or resell it.

Similar thing happened to my friend, too. He works nights, and wasn't able to pick his up at midnight, so his father-in-law-to-be went and got it for him.
That's dedication to the marriage that hasn't even happened yet.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #013 That... can't be a real story
If you were talking to me, no, it was not a real story.
Not even close.
Once, my mom bought me a cd on release day and actually brought it to me while I was at school (which was great because I had some programming class where I could listen to it for an hour and a half).
But that story is not interesting so I made one up.

From: Princess Anri | #012 Nine years ago, I asked my dad to go get me a cd on release day (because I couldn't) and when I came home he had thrown away all my 300+ cds instead.
We haven't spoken since.
Man I wish that was true because you would've totally deserved it.

I like to think my dad is top tier, though he hasn't done anything like that in a long time, at least outside of Xmas gifts. He did that kind of thing a bunch back when I was a teenager though, like preordering multiple N64s and gold cartridge Ocarina of Times, just to make sure I got them on their respective release dates.
