The wedding(s) and honeymoon went extremely well...more on that later.

Over 2000 new CAG joined up, and it's not even the halfway point of the month. The mods have been busy while you were gone, I'd say they did a decent job in you absence. Ask if they've seen any Circuit City threads that needed to be moved or locked.

Congrats! It's good to see you back, CheapyD!
I don't think anyone knows if there were any other deals. Any non CC topic just got drowned in the hundreds of CC topics.
It was really spooky having your bitmapped persona hovering over the front page for the past two weeks. Only thing that could've made it more eerie is if you had given it googley eyes that followed the mouse pointer wherever it moved on the screen...yikes. Welcome back.

congrats first off.
cc deal was number one, beyond that, a few more ebgames went lower. nothing much, or nothing much that anyone could remeber with all the CC threads and locked CC threads.

Btw, none of the CCs near us (NYC) has anything worthwhile (unless you consider Sega Bass Fishing worthwhile, hehe).

CheapyD! Congratulations! Other than the CC deal, nothing really went on. Over the past week, if a topic wasn't about the Circuit City clearance, it failed horribly. I can't believe you missed such a sale! Although, it brought the worste out in people...
Good to have you back!

Congrats, and welcome back. Don't worry about missing the CC sale, I'm sure there will be a flood of topics about this for weeks to come (trade lists, whinefests, flame wars, etc.).
SInce everyone is saying welcome back and congrats I won't say it. lol :D
Some games had a price cut like: Deus Ex: Invisible War $20(XboX), Medal of Honor: Rising Sun$10(XbOX), Metal Arms$5(Xbox), Resident Evil$5(PS2)

It seems as though you missed the largest influx of new members to CAG ever due to the CC sale. I'm sure you had a chaoz load of $5 games worth of fun though...

Good to have you back...the inmates were running the asylum...
There's one word which pops into my mind while looking at the expression on your face there, CheapyD: smarmy. Was the guy saying something fairly simple-minded at the time?
Wshakspear
07-12-2004, 12:16 PM
Actually, it looks like he wants to nibble on the guys ear.
As for when/where that was, he was on ESPN2's Cold Pizza show doing a review for Winning Eleven 7

Now that Cheapy's back, I want to remind everyone that it's safe to go back and edit your posts about Defender. Now we can tell him how we really feel without fear of (much) reprisal.

That fucking god you are back. It seemed CC knew you were gone, and started a massive sale, which was all a careful ploy to turn CAG into GameFAQs while you were gone. Now that you have returned, all can be right again.

A ton of things happened while you were gone, people running rampant and people complaining about people running rampant, and the 2000 n00bs that joined is probably not an exaggeration either. Maybe Cheapy can do a little house-cleaning now that he's back...? In any case it sucks you missed on the biggest deal :(
Did you get lucky?
That goes without saying
*ahem* Anyways. The site wasn't the same without you. Hopefully, everything can go back to normal pretty soon. We can all go back to being the nice, friendly, fuzzy people we are. :wink:

metal arms at BB and CS at ebgames both came in stock a few times. I was able to get a 5 buck metal arms. Some people got 100's of dollars worth of 5 buck CC games and some other people thought getting that many games was a crime against humanity.

You really didn't miss much other than the huge CC sale and here and there games being lowereed to $20 like Deus ex: Invisible War. I'm not sure, but didn't somone mention that TRU is having their BOGO sale again?

07-14-2004, 07:43 AM
Congratulations, and welcome back.
Even though you missed the CC sale, you can still get some deals from it because the people who bought several shopping carts full of games are selling them on eBay or elsewhere for lower than their retail price. Since I got only one game from the CC sale, I've had to resort to that.

Oh... and lots of people being rude to each other.
It has been a slaughterhouse for the newbies. Newbies who have been crying about missing the CC clearance are being butchered by veterans. Sort of sad to watch how quickly everyone forgets they were all new at one time too.
