Sweet Home Chicago!

[Estebon]

If you'll review the text (especially the bolded part), it was never claimed you did not get your $60 game for free; the 10/30 receipt was posted to refute your assertion that without your "telling you about how to do it" the glitch could not have been exploited.

your uberleet mad reporting skillz about how the first game must be scanned at Elston was wrong, and I have the receipt to prove it.

You said I was wrong, and I posted the receipt to prove that I wasn't Jesus fuck, you're a goddamn idiot.

It appears that you got your free game by using a different method. Some store reports did say that they somehow changed the free game in different transactions in the 100+ page thread.

Listen guy, just fucking stop already. You posted a vague ass report, called me a liar, and I just keep shoving my foot up your ass time and time again. No one else has a problem with me and this all started because you're a stupid fuck and didn't do a detailed report on your trip to elston. You keep avoiding that fact.

[dfg]

You were wrong that it must be the first game scanned. As implied by your "without me you'da got nuthin'!" statements.

The only vague thing about my report was whether or not there were any copies of Rock Revolution left and I answered that after the first response. Hence my initial question to you about your inability to read a thread.

Normally I get paid for arguing with and correcting stubborn and ignorant people, but this is tedious without the monetary reward. But I admit it is funny to see you get so angry and use insipid ad hominems to defend what little intellect you possess.

Blah, blah, blah, arguing on the internet, retards, etc. Hope you lurkers are getting your bandwidth's worth of entertainment!

I was wrong about nothing. I got the game free, this "glitch" was nowhere near consistent, and every bit of information helped. Maybe corporate tried to fix it and instead just switched it around. Who knows why it worked both ways. In the main thread, it happened that way a few times, but mostly never.

You didn't mention why not to go to Elston and 3 other cags (myself incuded) assumed that you had used them all up. Since I was just at the store, I knew that store had about 20+ copies total of the games. Which is why I was shocked. You didn't explain yourself about the employees being "hip" to the glitch. You started acting like a little bitch, and wouldn't let it go when I had. You started the petty name calling and it just went down from there.

Look, i'm not trying to be an ass. At this point, theres really nothing more to dicuss between us. Things could have been better if both of us had not jumped the gun. Seriously, i'm willing to drop this and get back to the deals. Thats why we're all here.

[dfg]

Last post deleted for attempted-civility's sake.

You want to drop this, fine. I was provoked by your accusations of hoarding. The first respondent to my report did not accuse me of such (if you reeeeeeead it carefully); you did.

Look, if you right here state that you saw 20+ copies, why would you assume I cleared out the store, when I mentioned that I went to multiple stores and that I had 12 total copies of Rock Revolution? Furthermore, I responded almost immediately to the question of how many I'd seen left.

OK, my Halloween sugar rush has expired, my head is starting to pound and this is quite honestly a ridiculous argument.

What I'd like to leave you with is that it's impolite to start accusing people of hoarding without having taken the time to read everything and/or ask questions. I reported for the benefit of my fellow Chicago CAGs, so did you, but I didn't start slinging accusations of SD/FW-ery.

For some potentially useful CAG-info: the Half Price Books in Palatine has copies of Vagrant Story, black label FF Tactics, Legend of Legaia, and Parasite Eve 1 and 2, but they're as usual priced high at $50 a pop.

G'nite folks.

[Estebon]

Fair enough on the hoarding. Like I said, we both "jumped to conclusions".

Ok, brand new deal to speak about.

To anyone who is a BB Premier Member, sign in right now. There will be a special screening at Yorktown for "New Moon". You can get 2 free tickets if there are any still available. My niece is all about this "twilight" garbage and i'll be uncle of the fucking year for getting tickets to an early screening.

Do this ASAP. If just got loaded up now.

[chicagoz]

Dammit. I missed out on the Rock Revo glich. Argh.

[Amerijapoxicano]

Anyone check out a Blockbuster going out of business in the area? I keep driving past them and thinking about stopping in, but I don't imagine they have anything good. I'd check the other forums, but nobody is talking in here. Why so quiet?

[Chadfx]

I'm guess you are not from Chicago originally? Only outsiders call Chicago "Chi-town" and I hate it.

a hahaha!! I call it chi-town too...I guess technically I am an outsider. :lol:

[Estebon]

I call it C-town or Chi-city. Thats much better. Right? .....right?!?!?

[Hybrid5006]

Kanye things its better.

[slowdive21]

Actually I typically call it 'The City' if I am not in Chicago at the time.

[chuckywang]

Does anybody know of any Gamestops doing the B2G1 this weekend?

[shieryda]

Which Blockbusters are closing? The ones near me seem to be doing okay so far.

Is anyone going to WalMart tomorrow AM for the cheap Arcade console and $100 gift card? I'm seriously tempted to get a 2nd console for upstairs.

Blockbuster in Burbank, IL on 79th and Cicero (next to Jewel, across the street from Scottsdale Plaza)

[jalopez86]

I'm trying to find a gamecrazy still open that has metroid prime trilogy. A little help.

[Blackout]

Has anyone been here before? I'm looking for some retro games and wanna know if any CAGs have impressions:

[Amerijapoxicano]

I was born in Chicago and raised in the burbs. I call Chicago "Chi-town" sometimes, but not very often. I prefer to call it "The land of Ditka".

[Xellos2099]

Is Playntrade worth an visit? Another thing, did anyone ever seen cheap copy of Heavenly Sword around? I heard story where Blockbuster sell them cheap used but I have no luck so far.

I haven't been there but it looks cool. Probably expensive in that neighborhood. Just jump on the red line or the 22 bus and check it out!

x2 I have not been able to find Heavenly Sword for under $30 (new) EVER. I went to GS for penny guides and I think it was still or 26.99 - 29.99 used.

[dfg]

Yeah never heard of that place, but it's got a lot of Yelp reviews (some of my favorite restaurants don't have half as many). Let us know what it's like from a CAG-perspective!

[Blackout]

I might just head over there once I get my Retro Duo NES/SNES in the mail and see what they got. Maybe I'll take pics with my cell too. Who knows.

[introvert]

I've been to People Play Games. It's become a regular stop when I visit my sister in Chicago. Great selection, knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices. Just about everything I bought in there I could have found slightly cheaper on eBay, but I was fine paying a little more because I could see the product and know for sure it was in good shape.

Has tons of loose manuals if you're looking to complete older games. Also stocks some import hardware and software. I bought a Japanese Saturn in there a month or two ago. I've also picked up things like Panzer Dragoon RPG (Japanese version), Ys III for Turbo CD, Lunar: The Silver Star for Sega CD and more.

If you're buying a disc, make sure to give them time to buff it up for you. Their machine does a REALLY nice job. All of the discs I've brought home from there have been spotless and play perfectly. I'm super picky about disc quality too... these look like they're brand new.

Great store. There's also a nice comic shop a few doors up the street.

[slowdive21]

^^^Is that "Chicago Comics" or is there another one around there?

[52club]

I got one of those Amazon arcade units. I'm looking to sell it for $120. It will be sealed of course. I expect to receive it on Tuesday. I could meet near my work place (West Loop) or in or around Evanston. PM if you are interested.

Did any riots break out at the store you purchase at? I see that Amazon is pm'ing that deal now, too. They rock.

Awesome freakin' weather today!!!

Do they have a lot of complete games? Like SNES games with boxes for example?


If anyone cares, Burlington Coat Factory near the HIP (by that Dennys) has :ps2: and :ps3: Guitar Hero 3 game/guitar bundles for $25.

Wow, I never knew there was a Chicago thread. Nice to meet you guys. I'm from Mokena, which is in the southwest suburbs right on top of I-80.

Hell no, I bought it on Amazon. There was no way I was going to get into that retail mess. I've come to the point in my life if I can't get a deal from my recliner I just pass:lol:.

[Stoneage]

Bulls were robbed. Too close to call. /topic.

[Amerijapoxicano]

Before I trade Brutal Legend (ps3) on Goozex, does anyone want to trade? I'm interested in Borderlands, FIFA10, Madden10, Demon's Soul, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and anything else that's pretty recent and/or similar in value. I'm only interested in PS3 games. Thanks.

P.S. I apologize if it's frowned upon to post trades on here, but at least I use this thread for other purposes and don't just post trades and never come back.

It would be cool if you showed up, but I'd hate to have you commute there and get turned away at the door. I suppose it's worth a shot, but it's up to you.

I don't remember how hard they card.

Yeah I don't wanna go all the way there and get denied. I'll hit up the next meeting in 2012:D

My gf's brother's Xbox 360 is fuct. No red ring or E-something. But one of the front USB ports is broken. Everytime it turns on, it says something about one of the controller ports and it won't allow any other action. So, he'd like to get it fixed. Anyone know of a local place that can do such a repair? And no, this isn't a hint to find a place that mods.

A-hole dog owners man. What are the laws on picking up after your dog in Chicago? I had just cleaned my car's carpet and today just a couple of hours ago I got in not realizing that I had step on dog crap. :bomb::bomb::bomb:

Smelled up the whole car and its too dark to be cleaning it up. Is there anything I can spray on the lawn that would fuck up the dogs that sh!t on it? Of course I put a disclaimer so as not to get sued. I just wish I find someone not picking up after their dog, I'd pick it up and smear it on their face.

[joeboosauce]

Yeah man, dog owners in Chicago are lazy! Leaving that mess. Lazy bastards! And I don't know that cops even bother with that.

Unless a cop actually sees a dog in the act of dumping on a sidewalk, I highly doubt this law is ever enforced. Kinda like littering.

Target on Addison had a few decent 360 titles left on clearance on Monday night.

Was anyone able to find any 1600 point cards this weekend at Microcenter?

Don't worry about it. It was fun checking out the UFC fight with you guys.
