    Seriously?
    That looks awful!
    Not all facets of geekdom can be combined to become more than the sum of its parts.
    But I suppose he/she could have done worse, might have been a lavatory in there!

    Awkward Tardis is awkward!

    Why put so much effort into all of that only to sit an LCD on top? There has to have been a better way to put a display in there.

    Well I have my Valentine's Plans sorted:

    I'm really hoping that pillow is washable! Otherwise I might suggest a cover for it, before you take the relationship to the next level!

    Aside from it being completely hideous, what's the game playing in the top right picture? Looks like Defender in the bottom right one.

    Yeah. Last thing you'd want is to get tomato sauce from the pizza all over her.

    HG101's XBLIG's blog threw up a cool, little curio:

    DLC Quest

    http://goingloudstudios.com/games/dlc-quest/

    A platformer where you're required to advance the game by collecting in-game currency and purchasing random stuff, spoofing the modern day need for DLC. You begin without the ability to jump (or even properly animate) and eventually work your way up to buying in-game weapons to avoid grinding and so forth. As a game it's pretty average, and it's essentially a one-joke premise spread out over a thirty minute game, but it's presented well enough to make it funny, so in the end it's worthwhile. Plus considering the gaming industry takes itself far too seriously, any kind of satire is definitely welcome.

    Sporting that mullet without having been bullied to death is more hardcore than the Contra achievement.

    I think the Mullet is one of those rare hair styles that one has to Rock rather than sport, just saying is all...

    God no, it can never look good. Ever.

    Only Jack Burton and the Swayze have ever pulled it off.

    Thats a very valid point. But those are ice cool, the zenith of coolness. Someone like, say, Incontinence Boy could never do it....

    Well Enternow has modded Sera's PS1 which means that this Valentines all her time will be taken up by Monster Rancher and there'll be no time for me :'(

    I'm going to see if I can get the english translation of Love Plus to work... :'(

    Damn it. RAGE have made themselves a new enemy by interfering in my quest against Composite cables by recommending some one get RGB that was having trouble with composite cables on their SNES. RGB til I die bro!

    Warning, large number of slaps at the next Beers approaching!! ;)

    I treat people with it, on occasion, I don't try my own supply!

    There is one more mullet, and its one that few people appreciate

    On a another note, took a major tumble off the bandwagon today, pictures incoming!

    Unbelievable!
    No sign of my Wonderswan edition of Puzzle Bobble so I sent a message.
    I just received a reply...
    He says sorry, that he was away at work and doesn't send stuff while away and that he'll send it tomorrow!
    I sent him a message telling him how it was paid for immediately after the sale, that I expected it sent by the fastest method available at his expense and that it would be reflected in the feedback. Also mentioned that other items sold by him were shipped and delivered in that time!
    What a dickhead!
    Now we wait and see what happens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    OK so after picking through my Final Fantasy collection I have stuff that's going to be going

    Final Fantasy X, complete x2 (1 normal, 1 platinum)
    Final Fantasy VII, no manual x2 (1 normal, 1 platinum)
    Final Fantasy VIII, 1 complete, 1 no manual, both black label
    Final Fantasy IX, no manual, black label

    Anyone have suggestions on what prices I should ask for these?

    Just got a reply to my last message, bear in ind this guy has sold a string of games to other people, many of which have been won and delivered since I won my auction with him...
    Hello
    I'm only selling my games, because I don't need them anymore. I don't sell games for living
    I have a different job that's far more important than selling games.
    So if I'm travelling, I don't have time to ship games
    I'm sorry if games are so important for you. But not everyone has the same priorities
    Regards
    Antonio

    What a complete tool!
    I have reminded him that the nature of the item is irrelevant and I don't appreciate his dismissive tone.
    Also directed him to the ebay support page detailing the sellers obligation to send the item quickly, also indicated the feedback he was likely to get now.

    Tosser!

    Wow! What a complete and utter tosser! I've never read anything like that in my life.

    What's his username? Just so I can buy something from him and leave negative feedback. Nobody should have to put up with that. You paid - should be sent out instantly.
