I was all pumped this morning cause I just realized that we're a day away from May and May means E3. But then I found out that E3 got moved to July this year. Teh sadness. I sooo want to go to E3 but I guess you need to be a member of the press to make it in .. plus there's that whole traveling to Santa Monica thing. But I think I'd make the trip if I could get a pass.

Patrick Bateman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/): Do you like Huey Lewis and the news?
Paul Allen (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001467/): They're OK.
Patrick Bateman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/): Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
Paul Allen (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001467/): Hey Halberstram.

Patrick Bateman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/): Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

It's always fun when you call a client to try and resolve the issue, and find that they are using pirated software.

On top of that, the pirated software completely fucked up their machine. For example, they installed Office XP on one machine using a zipped file, which came conveniently paired with a "cdkey.txt" file. (I had to use Webex to remote log into their machine, so I saw all of this).

What happened is something I've never seen before, but I can understand how Windows got fucked by it. Basically, some dumbass installed Office XP from this zipped file, but they obviously didn't use one formatted to be done from a zipped file, so now - and this AMAZING - the C drive on that computer thinks it is a CD drive.

I am not even kidding. It has a CD drive icon and everything. Windows still shows it as a 120 gig HD, but the damn thing thinks it is a CD drive. You can add/delete/move files, but Windows honestly doesn't truly know wtf the drive itself is.

So when I tried to map out a drive and access it, it kept telling me it couldn't find the setup.ini file. When I deleted the pirated bullshit, it kept trying to access the mapped drive as a file, not a drive at all. There's no way for me to map it out, and thus no way to solve the problem (this is for a peer-to-peer network, and our software requires a mapped drive, so they are totally SOL right now).

Add to this about twenty other things this client's tech fucked up, and their entire machine is shot to hell and back, where it was then shot to hell again.

I have a feeling the person who did this was the woman I was on the phone with actually, because she got really quiet and passively angry once I was telling her that her machine was fucked nine ways to Sunday.

So I guess it doesn't help that I told her she mostly likely needs to format everything and start over from scratch.

There's a lesson in this, kids - know about your shit and how to use it, and make sure whatever goddamn Geek Squad numbnut high school script kiddie hacker who wrote his own version of Artillery actually makes the attempt to RTFM, or else your entire insurance agency is going to be down for a few days and lose you a few thousand bucks in bidness.

80 minutes of my last work day devoted to this nonsense, and now I've got to type up a goddamn report on it.

Oh well. Shadenfreude is in full effect now, bitches.

Jorb is ok, Coach Z. Typical tech support for a proprietary databasing program for insurance companies.

The setup is that cases are created and we call the agencies back, which I prefer over "we've got 25 people on hold, and you get stuff based on luck of the draw." With this I can see (usually) case issues before I call 'em back, which is good because I know what needs to be done before I call back. I say "usually" because people are still stupid and will write things like "our computer is not workin" as if that helps me in any way.

But this place is pretty laid back. I can wear jeans and tshirts and surf the net while on calls. I've had places before where I had to wear biz casual and couldn't so much as check my e-mail. So I prefer this setup above the others.

Mostly I need to stop doing this line of work, and get one where I just write nonsense all day. That would be awesome. I wouldn't even care if I made much money or not. Just something where I didn't do customer relations or deal with dumbasses, and instead write funny columns or something.

Does anyone know how much EB gives for a 360? I just want to get rid of this shit and be done with it.

I'm so scared of the shit ass refurb that I really won't want to sell it and ship it, and have it break a week later and I've got to refund some money out that will already be spent on college / moving stuff.

The CAGwiki says EB only gives $190 for it... which seems really low for a $400 system, that isn't even 50% =O It just says "System with wireless controller", which is kind of vague.

Dude on the phone said "blah blah dependent on a lot of things blah blah bring it in" but nah, I'm not hiking it down there for a measly $190. If I can get at least $250 for it, I'd be happy.

EB will fuck you over on it. Sell it on craigslist or ebay

Tried CL a long time ago (before I even offered it here), that was a mess, and I don't know... I ran a DVD on it, and it ran it but it felt like something was off. I just get a *really* bad feeling about it, and I don't want to Ebay it or sell it to someone on CAG and it breaks a week later, like I've heard happening to PLENTY of refurbs.

It figures that after I sent mine in, they started the program where they actually fixed your 360 and sent your 360 back. On closer inspection too, the 360 they sent me back is kind of dinged and isn't really all that great.

I don't have time to send it BACK to MS to go for a third one, and I am 99% certain that once I sell it, this thing will go dead in a week and I will have to eat the refund and deal with a broken 360 when it gets sent back.

If I can throw it at EB, it becomes their problem if something happens in a week, and not mine. It's one less thing I have to worry about.

I've sold tons of systems on Ebay and elsewhere and this is the only one I really get a bad feeling selling. With my luck, the piece of shit would break in transit.

This is the only thing I've ever had that I've felt uncomfortable selling.

roufuss you know you can buy an MS warranty for it for fairly cheap right? Call them up and pay the 29 bucks for the extra year warranty on it so that you don't have to worry about selling a broken machine.

I think they may even allow you to buy a 2 year one.

Alright I've just called Olive Garden, and they said homeboy isn't in today.

I've already done two interviews with them. I just need to talk to the kitchen manager and find out if I have the job. Or I can call penn station, and set up an interview.

Spend another $29 just to sell it? They are barely getting $300 on Ebay as it is... most are falling under that for a Premium.

This thing is more hassle than it's worth. I don't know if the Edge card 10% stacks on a system trade-in (I know you can't get 10% off used systems... but it says nothing about getting an extra 10% on trade-in's), and there is ANOTHER 10% trade-in coupon in Game Informer that stacks. It's just a matter of calling the 20 EB's / GS's here until I find someone willing to do it.

I could probably get around $240 with the accessories I have for it when all is said and done (once I can stack the coupon), not worry about ever having a refund or a bitchy customer, or get $280 in Ebay (which is what someone with the same set up as mine got) and then pay Ebay fee's, shipping it, blah blah.

I'll take $40 less to not ever worry about it again, and take advantage of the b2g1 free to get some Wii games.

At this point, selling this thing is a huge hassle, and I can sell it to EB, get some games for me, get some games to sell, since I don't have to go out of my way to sell a game, and it's a huge load off my shoulders.

Just set up the interview at Penn station. That way, if Olive Garden dicks you over, you've got your back-up. If Olive Garden ends up hiring you, then if/when you get the offer from Penn Station you can just tell them that you got offered a job somewhere else.

I know how you feel Roufuss. MS needs to do something about their hardware. I was just throwing the warranty idea out there suggesting you may want to keep it or that you might get more value out of selling it with a warranty.

And when I sent mine in I got my old one back. Yours must have been fucked to not get the original one back.


And what all accessories do you have?

Hey rouf. I saw a coupon at my local EB that gave $250 for a 360 trade-in. I don't know any details or the fine print (premium only? must be towards trade-in of elite? who knows), but might be something to look into. Either way, I'd probably just trade it in with the 10% edge + 10% Game Informer coupon and be done with it.

Yea, the coupon is just towards an Elite... no thanks!

That's what I'm doing hopefully, stacking it with the coupons... systems work towards that then, I assume? If it still gets $190, which is an old wiki value, I can get an extra $38 on top of that bringing me to $228 already... then I've got an extra wireless controller, a media remote, a headset, and a play and charge kit to throw down.

I'll get at least $250, probably a little bit over that. Same as I'd make on Ebay after fees.

I've traded in several PS2 systems and have always been able to use my edge card + any GI coupons available at the time (never works on promos such as the $250 elite promo though). Although the last time I did this was over a year ago, so maybe things have changed. Who knows.

Oh oh I has a question.

Has anyone tried using a GGC lately? Both times when I did, the cashier would scan it, it would register on the screen, but it didn't take off the five bucks. So I've had to point it out both times.

Has BB already rid it from their system? I mean I'm going to keep using it until the coupon is dead, but this is kind of annoying.

Yeah, but there are still some GGCs out there with the coupon, so he's half wrong. I've got 3 at home, and there's still plenty at my store. Everyone else doesn't appear to be as lucky.

I'm talking about if you have the coupon in hand, which I do. When they scan it, it doesn't take off the five bucks. You have to tell the cashier and they'll override it - they have no choice but to do so.

They expire in June sometime. I'm trying to figure out if they've already removed it from the system or not.

Now it all becomes clear. I wondered why the released the 360 Elite in April. Not later in the year. It's opartially for stock reasons. If it's ture that this month MS suppliears will start maufacturing 65 nm chips, and in the Fall they will become available in new stock of 360's, then MS will have to move all that old stock out the door.

The elite is not just a tool to compete with the PS3 but it's also a way to slash their old inventory of parts so they can get rid of the 90 nm, buggy chips.

Now, I plan on getting a 360 ion about 4-6 months. Probably about the time when the 65 nm chips will be coming out. But how will I know if I got a 65 nm chip. Especialy if I order online and have my 360 delivered. It's a crap shoot.

You'd have to wait until you knew for sure the old models were phased out, and even then, it's still a crap shoot, as you might get something they found in the back of the warehouse.

You may never know, unless you crack open the case and look at the size of the chip.

I'm guessing that when the HDMI & 120GB drive roll into the Premium system, they may have the 65nm chips included with it.

The site that Sub pointed out, never heard of it, and I've dealt with a few 3rd party batteries before. You get what you pay for. I'd suggest either getting one from OnCore PowerSystems (www.oncorepower.com) or Fedco Electronics (http://www.fedcoelectronics.com/). OnCore and Fedco batteries last for 12 months' time under warranty. I use Fedco batteries for the old HP laptops I have here at my work, and I just switched out the work laptop I use with an OnCore battery.

I found out about the one year battery warranty on my Dell the hard way, when I had a battery issue. I ended up getting a replacement through the exchange program, so I took care of that issue.

I'd recommend looking at OnCore or Fedco batteries. The OnCore battery I purchased was on Buy.com and included free shipping.

I hear that. It has potential to be the best show ever. I dont like the idea of comedic undertones though. I want zombie shit to be serious (hence why I havent watch Shawn of the Dead yet).

Aw, Shaun of the Dead was awesome. The point was that it didn't take itself seriously, and with the addition of the British humour, it was hilarious.

Plus they used an illegal lever-action rifle! :O

I can understand what your saying. But as long at the comedic undertone's are good then it can work out. like Shawn of the dead. Its really good flick IMO of course.

I'm pumped for it but I'm afraid it wont be as good as the first one. It seems to have nothing to do with the first one at all except for the fact that it takes place in England.

The story line of 28 Weeks Later appears to be that (despite what you think from the first movie) the outbreak cant be contained so the remaining survivors of England have all grouped together within a walled off city, guarded by the military. It would appear that the zombies break in and havoc insues. And the only reason I can think its filmed in England is cause thats where the writers/producers are from. :)

The site that Sub pointed out, never heard of it, and I've dealt with a few 3rd party batteries before. You get what you pay for. I'd suggest either getting one from OnCore PowerSystems (www.oncorepower.com) or Fedco Electronics (http://www.fedcoelectronics.com/). OnCore and Fedco batteries last for 12 months' time under warranty. I use Fedco batteries for the old HP laptops I have here at my work, and I just switched out the work laptop I use with an OnCore battery.

I found out about the one year battery warranty on my Dell the hard way, when I had a battery issue. I ended up getting a replacement through the exchange program, so I took care of that issue.

I'd recommend looking at OnCore or Fedco batteries. The OnCore battery I purchased was on Buy.com and included free shipping.
I'll have to keep those in mind too. Thanks. :)

Either way, I'm probably not buying a new battery until August, closer to when I'll be going back to school and when I'll actually need it again.

I am now at home, away from all possible danger. It could have just been a sound, but it sure did sound like a fart.

Perhaps coincidentally, another coworker had questioned hours earlier who was "passing gas."

Also, Swapna was someone who I called. She claimed to speak English, but she was lying. Don't tell me you speak English, and then have me repeat the same question three times.

Sub, you seem pretty into the indie music, you ever heard of The Unicorns? Possibly, but I haven't heard anything from them.

EDIT: I see they're canadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_Canada).



Here's a list of canadian bands I listen to:

Arcade Fire
Broken Social Scene
Death from Above 1979
Hot Hot Heat (though not recently)
MSTRKRFT
The New Pornographers

If I had my PS2 working, I'd pick it up, so I'm stuck with a PC port :lol:

shocker? Giving a puppy the shocker is probably just as bad as kicking it.

I'm gonna get Lumines on the PS2 if I can ever find it for $10.
I don't know if I like it enough to get it for a home console. I don't know if I'll even get it for the psp. It's not much better than Tetris or Meteos and definitely not better than Panel de Pon (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-15-panel%2Bde%2Bpon-70-1v6s.html).

That looks like Meteos, but you can scroll both horizontally and vertically rather than just vertically, eliminating much of the challenge.

I'd get it for PS2, Lumines that is, because I don't have a PSP, and don't plan on buying one for a while at its current price. Lumines still looks like a blast, though.
