I thought it'd be fun to see what kinda imaginations we have in this forum. A story about how you'll in a galant, sly, stealthy, zealous, evil, or mysterious way obtain your copy of DA:O.

Me go first cuz me b OP Image IPB


6 miles from Best Buy, Oregon
Nov 3rd 0615 hours.

The sun is still fast asleep in the horizon, a minor flow of traffic is rushing to work, or in some cases, taking their dear sweet time. One of the cars is standing still, hidden behind a ground level McDonalds sign. A black BMW with tinted windows reving its engine. A set of eyes obscured by a pair of sunglasses rest on the rear view mirror, looking for something. The passenger, whose eyes are obscured as well, is staring in the side mirror, drinking a Starbucks Coffee.

Driver: "You sure this is the road it'll come from? I swear if this is the wrong road you're gonna WALK to the store."

Passenger: "Course I'm sure, my contact is never incorrect."

 Some time goes by and the first sunlight of the young day is starting to color the sky a soft blue, and then the BMWs driver reacts!

Driver: "THERE IT IS!"

The passenger spills the remainder of his coffee.

Passenger: "OH JEEZ! Get ready!"

The driver revs the engine, waiting untill they're sure it's the right truck.
It is.
A large blue logo on the side saying "BEST BUY" rolls past them.

Passenger: "GO GO GO!"

The driver floors it, leaving the rear tires kicking up grass, dirt, and rocks, before finally inching to the asfalt. As it catches on it accelerates quickly to keep up with the truck going down the free way. The passenger opens his window, the wind deafening him. He spots the truck in the clear, free of traffic.

Passenger: "Get right up on its ***!"

The driver shifts it into 5th and floors it, the engine roaring as it rushes up to the truck, and brakes right before ramming its rear. The passenger un fastens his seatbelt and climbs out the window, slowly and carefully. He sits on the window frame and nimbly climbs up on the cars roof, keeping low. He crawls down on the hood of the BMW and without hestitation jumps for the attached ladder on the side of the truck. He crouches down as the BMW backs off. Out of his jacket he pulls a crowbar, and sticks it in where the lock is.
It snaps with a single twist. That same second he reaches under to open it, but the huge door slides up on its own, startling him and almost sends him flying off of the back of the truck. Luckily for him the truck brakes softly as it drives up the exit. The passenger sees the Best Buy logo, it's time to move. He gets up from the floor in the truck and rushes to the first box he sees. He gets out a box cutter and expertly cuts it open. It's filled to the rim in Dragon Age: Origins copies. He picks one up and is about to hit his beeper, when he takes one last glance at it. The rim of the casing is GREEN! It's and Xbox copy!

"DAMNIT!"

He throws it out the rear of the truck and goes for another box. The truck is slowing down, better pick up the pace. He cuts box after box and it keeps being either PS3, or Xbox copies, untill he finally opens one and it has the wonderful look of a PC game to it. He hits his beeper and within seconds the BMW comes roaring from between two cars behind the truck and again gets right up close to the truck. But suddently a gunshot is heard and the BMWs left front tire is torn asunder by a shotgun. The BMW is forced off of the road.

"OH DOUBLE DAMNIT!"

The passenger reaches into his jacket and pulls out a small Glock pistol and carefully looks around the left side of the truck. The driver narrowly misses his face, tearing the side of the truck up instead. He is thinking of what to do when he realizes they've been going for awhile, and surely enough, the truck comes to a screeching halt, sending him flying into a bunch of opened and unopened boxes, making a glorious rain of shimmering plastic wrapped DAO copies of all types flying around him. He gets up and looks around the right side. It's a red light. He quickly jumps onto the ladder he grabbed onto earlier and climbs to the top of the truck, climbs along the top and gets to the driver. He loads the gun and jumps onto the trucks hood, which turns out to be alittle too steep, he slips. He grabs onto the edge of the hood and points the gun at the truck driver, who looks surprisingly alike to one of the Hungary teams members in Wardens Quest. What'd you expect after winning? He lifts his shotgun and fires it through his windshield, missing the passenger but planting a crippling wound in the trucks engine, making it stall and cut out. The passenger fires and creates a perfect tunnel through the unfortunate gamer/truckdriver's skull. He jumps down and runs to the road, throwing the gun away as he goes, and yells.

"TAXI!"

A yellow cab stops and he gets in.

"You go where sir?"

"Anywhere but here!"

"Dont know adress"

"DRIVE GOD DAMNIT!"

The cab driver pulls off of the curb and starts down the road. The passenger gets his cell phone and calls the driver.

Driver: "Yo, you got the goods?"

Passenger: "Have you ever experienced a time where I didn't?"

Driver: "Fantastic, we can get back to bed then, it's almost 8."

Passenger: "Right, how's the car?"

Driver: "Shifted the tire out, I'm on my way to you."

Passenger: "No need, me and the gam....driver, got into a little fight."

Driver: "Casualty?"

Passenger: "How could I refuse?"

Driver: "What do you mean?"

Passenger: "Let's just say I don't like Dutch people that much anymore."

Driver: "You crazy mother****er"

Passenger: "And a happy one too."

He looks down at his shimmering copy of DA:O. Now the true adventure begins.

Although he'd still wish the Pause and Play combat style was optional....

My epic story

*bzzz bzzz* (cellphone)

"Your order from Webhallen, 1 Dragon Age CE, is now ready to be picked up"
Gets dressed
Walks down the stairs
Walks up the stairs...
Locks the door this time
Runs down the stairs
Walks to the local post office
Waits half an eternity in line
A child starts crying
Another 3/4 of an eternity passes
Child is still crying..
Finally my turn
Flips up my cell and tell the post-guy the number for my package
10 minutes later he finds it
I pay for it
I Run home


That's exactly how it will happen in 2 days.

It is 11:57, 3 minutes until I can finally play dragon age origin on my lap top, and I am hungry for something. Not wanting to waste a single moment not playing dragon age I get up to make some … food. I walk heroically over the fridge, for I know no fear; opening it I stare into the abyss that is within. I realize I only have 3 slices of cheese, a box of clean-exs, and a jar of jelly. I realize I have no food.



It is 11:58, 2 minutes until I can finally play dragon age origin and my stomach growls like a ravenous lemming. I must eat something … I crave nutrients … “ccchhheeeetttoooosss”, I mumble to myself. I do not have time to spare, actually wait, I do have time to spare, I have 2 minutes to spare. I hastily grab my wallet and leave my room, entering my dorms hallway. My destination, the vending machine 1 floor below me; my goal, the delicious contents within said machine. I walk to the vending machine, ignoring the urge to run for fear that I will not get back to my room by 12:00.



It is 11:59, 1 minute until I can play dragon age origin and I have my delicious cheetos. I return back to the hallway of my dorm; feeling victories, content, but most of all full. I walk up to my door and turn the handle, but the way is shut. I panic, “My keys!” I wonder, “Where are my keys?” Hastily, I search my entire body, but I find no such item. I scream, clawing at the door, “NO! This can’t happen! LET ME IN!!!!” I accuse myself for my stupidity; I do not understand how I could make such a mistake … so I do the most logical thing and blame the maker for my misfortunes. I begin to cry while leaning sloppily against my door, and that is when a miracle happens. A boy appears, he sees me in tears and he says “Dude, you are so pathetic.” He opens the door for me.



It is 12:00, I am playing dragon age origin and my blood shot tear stained eyes have a happy glow in them. As I slay countless foes, I look back at those past 3 minutes and realized that was but the first of many challenges I would face playing this game. My next challenge would be to see how long I could stay awake playing this game? The next one how many of my classes could I play this game in, while not getting kicked out? Ho! Ho! The adventures that await!

I'll get DAO asap, any means necessary. Yes that includes ways probably frowned upon. I'm Chaotic Evil - suck it.

But I have bought Digital Download so I'll play that once they actually release the game in Europe.

EDIT: I just realized this wasn't a funny story. Well neither is anyone elses so WOOOOOOOOOO.

We see a small room that appears to be part of a large house. The room is dark, as all windows are shut and the curtains drawn. In one corner a might computer rig humms quitely, sitting on a large table. The floor of the room is littered with candles and stragne drawings. Upon closer inspection we see they are symbols, drawn with blood. A lone figure in a robe chants in a deep voice, holding a ancient tome in his hands. The chant is in a language lost to time and is becoming faster and some sinister. As it reaches it's peak, the candles blaze and a mass of twisting shadows appears in the center of the summoning circle. I slowly forms into a demonic shape.

Demon: "Why have you called me, mortal?"

Robed figure: "Why do you even ask...you know why my kind calls you."

Demon: "You want something. So predictable..what is it this time? Money? Power? Women?"

Robed figure: "A Dragon Age: Origins PC copy." 

Demon: "A...what? It's that coming out in like...two days? Can't you wait?"

Robed figure: "No."

Demon: "Really? You call me forth for something as trivial as this!? I should devour you for such insolence!"

Robed figure: "Look, you want my soul or not?"

Demon(surprised): "Your soul? For a game?...Really, I was expecting something like a blood sacrifice or some act of evil as payment. What you are asking really is a trivial thing..."

Robed figure: "Oh..then I guess I wont' be needing this contract."

Demon: "No, no. Now I WANT your soul. We wouldn't want that contract to go to waste...and you do seem to want it bad enough. No soul, no game."

Robbed figure: "Fine, fine...tehre, I singend on the dotted line. now gime me my game!"

*game appears in demons hands*
Demon: "Here you go....I shall so look forward to collecting your soul! You really are a fo- "

*A puf of somoke appears. A demon laywer appears*
Laywer: "Wait sir, wait. Don't sing that contr-  .. .ogh bugger. Too late."

Demon: "What is the meaning of this?"

Lawyer: "I did a background check on the guy. It appears he already sold his solu to us in 1998..and then again in 2000, 2002, 2005 and 2008!"

Demon: "WHAAAAT??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Me: "SUCKER! Mwhahahahahaha!" *scampers off ot play DA:O*

The REAL plan for me is, get off early from work by faking something important has come up, go to the store to collect my game, go back home to make love to the collector's edition box and clean up with the cloth map included.

The evening was getting far to late for the "geek" at the computer. Siting the chair numb from lack of sleep. All the while he reloads a web site "Click here for XX-" Wait! WHAT! The computer guru sighs with a tired and sage tone "I don't want that, for the love of the gaming gods I don't want that right now..maybe later...but not right now" *click-click-click* flesh on plastic spin away as the key board becomes a part of this computer guru "This is dumb I have been sitting here for ages trying to find it. Thats it im calling my friend"



In the dimly light room the computer screen shimmers like a small gem of beauty "Oi. What time you have?...alright good. Listen I need you to check some thing for me...yeah yeah its here. I just need the money and you get it..listen, track a shipment for me will you?..What? No! The other way...yes that way, alright its a truck..no not a hot wheels you dumb arse a real truck you know 18 wheels and all that..there you go...yeah it has some thing I need...I don't care if you want to know or not just get me that god damned number!....Thank you...wait what? No ill not be put on hol-...that son of a..what oh hey yeah nothing stubbed my toe. You got it?...alright it would be a fed-ex shipment coming from Cali...there's how many?...alright look I need to know what shipment has the Dragon Age pc copy...you sure?..By air? Alright thanks" *click* The cell phone screen lights up the mans face showing more then a simple computer geek by the way he smiles



*ring-ring* "Yeah?" A voice speaks through the cell phone a gruff tone, a sinister voice.

The computer geek speaks up in a flowing and calm darker tone "I need you to call up the others we are going flying tonight"



"Done and done. Whats the mark tonight? Gems? Coins?..*a not worthy sighs comes over the phone* It better not be another food stamp hall. I still have left overs"



"No, no nothing like that at all..you ever hear about Dragon Age? A video game..a..pc..video game?" The computer geek seems to sweeten the deal by the tone of his voice"



"Your..kidding right? And whats it value?" The thief seems to raise his brow in wait by the lack of joy or suprize to his tone



"Oh..A round number? 3 to 4..3 to 4 million" The computer guru chuckles with a smirk



"Yeah alright im in. Ill call up the boys, lets say in three hours? Need to get a plane fueled up" The lack luster tone of a professional thief flows so easily to the man



*Screeech* The tired of the car stop on the slick pavement of the air field as a man steps out of the white dodge neon "Ah good your all here!" The mans voice hums a grin to it as he steps into the hanger light. The computer geek smiles in a sinister fashion though its over thrown by the bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep



"Wait you cam in that thing? Ha! You got more balls then a female chipmunk pal. You sure this is real? Or you just jerking us around?" The thief's voice is over shadowed by the sarcastic and mono tone



After a few strides to the thief the five foot five inch tall computer geek smiles up at him with a tired and unamused gaze. A moment passes and before the thief can do much of any thing a gun is slipped into his side pressing at his ribs as the geek speaks to the man still smiling "A person like you and many always understatements the weaker looking man..nah we just look this way to make sure we can -always- get to you" The smile fades as the gun presses harder into the thief's ribs



"Ah..so it is really you then..good" The thief pats the geek on the shoulder in a brotherly way before turning to his men "Aye been a while since spades been around guys..don't forget his hands were stained in blood before you even had a thought on what killing and stealing meant! Load up lock up and get that hunk of scrap metal in the air!"



The plane roars to life as the engines start up pushing it out onto the air strip and before long the sky's are the only thing around them. The night is stunning by the dim glow of the moon and the fading lights of the city below. The crew chatter to them self's for a while. Then the intercom sparks to life as Spades speaks in a mono toned voice "Alright girls listen up. The plane is fueled for a one way. So that means we are humping it back to the safe point. Team two will be there to pick us up. Dont be dumb and dump the shoot..we take every thing along. Make sure we are the only ones that know we where there, got it?"



The crew stay silent as they pack them self's into there shoots, the noise of locking mags and the licking of loaded guns spear through the noise of the engines. "You sure he knows what we are doing?" One of the men says in a shaken tone.



"Sure as hell hope so." Another speaks up from the back of the plane



The door swings open from the side of the small plane making the air rush into the small area the gust of wind and noise makes it near imposable to hear Spades yell out "FIRE!"



The bolt roped gun fires its single shot into the large cargo planes hull the loud THUNK of metal pushing through metal rings out in the cargo hold. A few moments later the sound and sparks of a blow torch boar through the hull of the cargo plane. Moments feel like hours but before long the hole is cut and men are starting to slip into the plane one by one. The crew of thieves are dressed much like a unit of special OP's The olive drab one part suit and black snow masks only showing there eyes that are behind the goggles. The "leader" of the single like minded and looking group montions his hand to the fount of the plane. Two men dart off with loaded guns safey off and pointed at the door to the main cockpit.



A moment goes by then the last man slips into the plane by the burnt out hole. The knife wasnt seen before it was to late, the rope was cut and the man peers out of the hole watching the pilot from the small plane fall with the rope...



"Like I said..its a one way" Spades turns around and peers at the other, though there to busy to take notice he quickly barks the orders "Start unbuckling and checking the crates, first one to find the computer game gets a bonus!"



Men hustle and rip the plane apart though before long there's a shout "I FOUND IT!"

Quickly Spades makes his way to the part of the cargo hold and looks at the small box in the hands of the man "Dumb arse that's for the XBox" A single gun shot rings out in the cargo hold then a barking order "THE PC GAME! NOT XBOX! NO GREEN AND PAPER BOX!"



The men quickly keep the pace now in fear of there lives. Spades stands there in wait with a soft grin hidden behind the mask. Then he hears it "Found it!"



The thudding sound of military boots make there way to the fount of the cargo hold as Spades glances down at the PC box for Dragon Age "This is it..good job..you know the drill. Load the shoot on it and lets get the back of the plane open folks we have" Spades checks his watch "45 at best. Hustle folks get it ready. You two!" He points to the men that are now peering out of the cockpit "Keep it level"



The men nod once as the rest get ready. Twenty minuets pass and the shipment of the PC version of Dragon Age is loaded up and ready to go. The loud rushing noise of air explodes into the cargo hold as the large door slips down. With loud grunts the shipment is thrusted out of the plane and tossed into a slow desent to the ground as the shoot opens.



Two by two they leap after it free falling for part the way before ripping on there main shoot, The loud rustling of air screams out as they all start a jolting slow decent with the shipment. The ground below them gets larger by the second as they see there LZ. The car lights dim in the bleakness of the wooded and fielded area beam through the night on the ground making a soft marking glow



Again moments seem like hours. The loud noise of the metal crate on the ground rings out to the men at the cars as they look up and see the shadowed moving figures make there decent to the earth the last leg, there almost home. One by one they land some better then others though its a showing notion that they are trained by how they land. Legs together arms to the chest and roll with the fall



"Load up! Get that god damned crate opened and loaded! I want to be out of here in ten minutes!" Spades yells out the barked order as the men all hustle to work. Soon enough the small pc boxes are loaded up and the men hop in the cars driving away to safety.



An four hour drive seems to take alot longer after a job is done. But the sun slowly peeks it light over the horizon as the cars pull into a midsized ware house. The seagulls call out to the morning light as they dive for food, the air cool making the steam from the cars muffler drift away as they all slowly move out the cars, unloading the boxes in neat piles then sitting down at a small fold up table



"Job well done men..Job well done" Spades nods to them slowly befor looking at the thieves leader "Though I thought you have a crew better then this Mitch. What? Getting old? Had to find -all- replacements?"



Mitch laughs out in a sinister fashion as he shakes his head lightly "Yeah well when you get a job at one in the morning you cant just snap the fingers and make it all fit into place..I had to get it all ready in little time. Hey. I think I did alright for a pick up crew"



Spades sighs out and he leans back the soft click of metal hums out..then...the clapping noise of a glock 19 suppressed rings out as the bullets strike the team mates in the chest and groin . Some die from the shot others scream and whimper in pain before Spades stands up and finishes the job



"More like a screw..had to use my name didn't you?" His gun arm swings to the right as he aims at Mitch "You know..its a hard job, they were good too" his dull and wary tone of voice gives him such a cold shivering feeling of no remorse to the ones he just killed



"Well..at least there not going to speak up any more..hey more money for us, fifty-fifty" Mitch grins wide as nods once. But before the grin can end a single shot claps out in a echoing hollow sound as Mitch slumps over in his seat the blood from the round to the head leaking out slowly into a pool at his feet



"Nah, was thinking..I would just take it all. Sorry pal never did like to share with a unhonest man" Spades lets out a hollow chuckle as he loads up the boxes and drives off in the dawns early light. Reaching over to the passenger seat he pats the copy of Dragon Age with a gloved hand and grins to him self.



Late that morning-



A message on the forums of Dragon Age Social boards is posted in the General Disscussion. It reads as follows:



Just got my hands on some thing you all been waiting for. Dont bother waiting in line or waiting at the fount door. Send a PM and get the info. You will be happy not to miss out...



Spades smiles a toothy grin as he glances over to the stack of games then his eyes linger at the glock 19 resting on the computer table "Yeah..today is going to be good day."
