It Pays To Be Mii, or VirtuCon Get!

I had one Virtual Console Controller reserv.ed at my local GameStop along with a few dozen other reservees. They got only a few (read 5) in today and the Store Manager offered me a second on the spot, despite demand and severe supply shortage. Here's how it went down:
Manager: Ed, didn't you have 2 reserved?
Me: Nah, just the one.
Manager: Ed, didn't you have 2 reserved?
Game Advisor at register: No, one.
Manager: I could have sworn you'd be picking up two today...
Me: nnn-OH! Yes... 2 please.
They also gave me a Wii beanie and Wii Play pen and Wii Play stickers.
As I was walking out I overheard:
Kid at PSP section: What the hell why does he get two?
Other kid playing PSP demo: Dude that's Dot Ed, he's like Mr. Videogame. Plus I think he works for Opera.
NOTE: I do not work for Opera.
It was such an odd feeling, because I sorta felt bad and stellar at once.
Bonus points go to the first person to find the SNES game in the picture below, hint: it's a copy of Teris Attack... where could it be...

also why do both clocks differ so much in time, it's no where near a minute off.

please watch that video.
WARNING! watch the video first, then if you want to make one click here: http://www.curiouser.co.uk/frames/creframe.html?http://www.curiouser.co.uk/illusions/dragon/
as far as the clocks go, there are several clocks in my glass cabinet. one is usually correct, then there is a blue binary one that is always wrong [behind me] because they made them without a quartz timer and they are all too fast (read Defective and Useless). I think the Green clock was correct here...
i really like the idea of time. but don't care much for accurate time.
