    Crazy amount of Nintendo

    Love that guy! Been watching his videos all year. Seems like a sound guy.

    So much stuff, but he has a lot of good tips on getting things on the cheap (which you all prob know already lol).

    Will the nintendo UK store deliver to Parcel Motel? I want to try get that Majora's mask LTD

    Mine was cancelled by them because was using parcel motel. So I says f them and ordered from Amazon.fr and got the Majora's Mask SE game for €5 cheaper than Nintendo's store.

    Just do that instead, straight to your door with no messing around with PM etc.

    Is it true that PM tend to break stuff on the journey?

    I wouldn't mind getting a temp job with Parcel Motel to see what they get up to. They must be training up for the next Dodgeball movie with Patches O'Houlihan

    Would it be in French or is there a language choice?

    I would think it's the same if I bought it from Germany or Italy and it has the 6 or 7 standard language's that a game bought here or the uk has.

    Is it wrong that i have just eaten a massive bowl of instant noodles just because i was playing Ace Attorney

    If they are good enough for Gumshoe then they are good enough for me :pac:

    My whole life is Ace Attorney at the moment as I'm stuck on jury duty. Except in real life pretty much every time there's an objection the entire jury has to get up and leave the room for 10 minutes.

    Shouldn't be anywhere near that. If it's that price, it's someone trying to extort money, or importing it from Aus/NZ, and charging for that privilege.

    I can only give my experience but have ordered 30+ things from Parcel Motel and never had any damaged packages. I've also found their customer service very good. Rang on 1 occasion to inquire about a delayed parcel and it was because someone has forgot to put the PM no. on it, they apologised and credited 1 free stay to my account. On another occasion I was posting a parcel and while I was picking up the parcel to put it in the locker, the wind closed the door. Rang them up when I got home and explained and they credited my account with the fee so I could print out a new label, all of this in about a 30 second phone call each time.

    Well I'd be surprised if you could get hold of them that easy now, In fact they had removed their phone number from their website last time I checked.
    Have a look at the thread here or a quick look at their twitter feed, or the article written about their bad customer service in the Sunday Times last weekend, shocking stuff altogether.

    I still want them though, out of curiosity. They're about £7 on Amazon for a pack of 20.

    They have, at times, got hair on them.
    They are the salty, crunchy cooked skin of a pig.

    It'll be jellied eels next!

    I remember trying them once when I was in Liverpool. I do recall some of them including added hair as a bonus. I tried one and swore I'd never touch them again, ha.

    Listing to lyric fm the other morning in the car (I'm partial to a bit of 'Marty in the Morning') & this came on:



    Not sure why, but I could have sworn it was the theme from To The Moon! I checked there this evening & it's not like it, so dunno why I thought it, but I was convinced!

    LOL

    What an unfortunate thing to happen!

    Does an "Open Again" button appear for sending parcels?

    It appears when receiving them alright.

    There should be a caption that reads "No actual Pacman cabs were harmed in the making of this cabinet"
