Just got a package back I sold on ebay. It has unclaimed marked all over it. Part 2

If you read my other blog. I mentioned I sold a item on ebay, and the buyer never got it. After it stayed there for a extremely long time. Needless to say the day of that blog I sent him a message on ebay, and also sent a regular email to his actual email address. It has been 1 week and 2 days. No reply. No nothing. Now I ask you cag. Should I give him his money back anyway or should I still wait on a reply?
On another unrelated note. I ordered two games from gamefly. One came extremely fast, and the other has yet to arrive. ![]() |

Getting Political: Rand Paul & Being Well-Informed
By Krymner 12-17-2009 01:34 PM
|
|
Rand Paul (the son of ex-presidential candidate Senator Ron Paul) lives near my hometown of Bowling Green, KY and is running for one of Kentucky's Senate seats next year in 2010. He's already got posters and stuff up, which in my opinion is a bit too early to be campaigning, but eh, that's his choice.
My family has known Rand Paul (known to us simply as Dr. Paul) for some time. Before my father passed away this year, Dr. Paul was his primary eye-care physician. My dad had diabetes, and the problems with his eyesight that came from it, and Dr. Paul performed several corrective eye surgeries on my dad. Up until he started seeing Dr. Paul, my dad was practically blind and could hardly see at all. After a series of surgeries, my dad's eyesight was almost fully restored, and in the year leading up to his death, my dad was grateful every day of being able to see once again. When my father passed away this summer, Dr. Paul personally offered his sympathy to my family. ... |

A couple of weeks back my mom did the best thing ever for me and bought me the camcorder that I desperately wanted for christmas. It is a very expensive camcorder that records in HD and uses Mini DV tapes, producing the maximum image quality that I wanted so badly. One of the main MAIN reasons that I wanted this camcorder was so that I could record my upcoming trip to Taiwan/Japan next month. I leave on this trip on the 31st. Problem is, my camcorder is on its way to the service center right now, and I don't know when it will come back.
The camcorder will not eject the tape that is in it. It's a Canon VIXIA HV40, and the tape eject mechanism is motorized, so the tape is stuck in there. The tape has important footage on it, I can't simply record over it and send it in after the trip, and I need more than an hour's worth of tape to record on. The camcorder should be arriving at the service center tomorrow, and from then, they told me that it will take 2-3... |

Speaking of Old School Games: Part II (RPG Elements)
By kainzero 12-17-2009 12:21 PM
|
![]() When RPG Elements were sexy. I've noticed a lot of games becoming more RPGish. More stats, more systems, money, experience levels, and all that crap. Sometimes I appreciate it. I really enjoyed the system in Crackdown, because it didn't feel forced. You COULD level up, but you didn't have to. And when you did it was kinda cool too, because you got some new powers. In a multiplayer setting it tends to be annoying and unbalancing. Why do I have to play 70 hours *well* to be able to use a different gun in COD: MW2? Luckily, the guns in MW2 aren't too different anyway and there is a much worse example. To me, the poster child for RPG elements wrong is, without a doubt, GTA San Andreas. There were RPG elements for everything. You can go the gym, grind out strength, then drive home and improve your driving skills, |

[COLOR=White]Hello. More Funnies for you.
Laugh. Tell Friends. Comment. I HAVE EXTRAS THIS TIME.:bouncy::bouncy::bouncy: So True [IMG]http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv7/adriley313/2c088b0e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv7/adriley313/d2ab0c79.jpg[/IMG] [/COLOR][SIZE=6][COLOR=White][B]Women Who Don't Put Out[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=White] [/COLOR][SIZE=2][COLOR=White][SPOILER][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][COLOR=White] When girls don't put out!! This was written by a guy ... it's pretty damn smart.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=White]I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]FOR EXAMPLE:[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White] [/SPOILER] [/COLOR][SIZE=6][COLOR=White][B]1st Year Med Students[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=White] [SPOILER] A professor is giving the first year medical students their first lecture on autopsies, and decides to give them a few basics before starting. "You must be capable of two things to do an autopsy. The first thing is that you must have no sense of fear." At this point, the lecturer sticks his finger into the dead man's anus, and then licks it. He asks all the students to do the same thing with the corpses in front of them. After a couple of minutes silence, they follow suit. "The second thing is that you must have an acute sense of observation: I stuck my middle finger into the corpse's anus, but I licked my index.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White][/SPOILER] [/COLOR][SIZE=6][COLOR=White][B]Lucky Pigs[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=White] [SPOILER] *If you shout for 8 years,7 months and 6 days you can produce enough sound energy to warm a cup of coffee.(I don't think it's worth it...)

Why isn't the PS3 Remote Play feature used more often?
By ares04 12-17-2009 09:20 AM
|
|
I haven't got a psp yet ( I'm waiting for the price of the Go to drop) but if I did, games with the remote play feature would garner more of my attention.
How hard could it be to put this feature in? I mean all of the PixelJunk games have it. Why the hell doesn't Megaman 9 or MK II have it? If the the upcoming Megaman 10 game had remote play, I'd be more likely to buy it on PSN. your thoughts? |

Media Managers: A Short Review
By GrilledWitOnions 12-17-2009 04:49 AM
|
|
My last (and first and only) blog was a general inquiry into what others thought a good media player would be; in this, my second (final?) blog, I would like to review a few media managers I've tried. This is not comprehensive and will be pretty short, but a recent forum thread has sparked my interest in this again and blogs are fun to write. Also please note I will not be doing much research into current features and such, as this is more a review of things tried in years past, and the conclusions drawn. I do feel these conclusions will still stand, but maybe not all my facts will be straight. But this is a blog and not news so please bear with me
First off, I have probably 600 dvds/blu-rays/hd-dvds, maybe 100 games. I've cataloged my movies a few times before, but then somehow lose the program or database I was using, buy more movies, and have to start over. I am currently in the process of re-cataloging everything, so I am not sure of the exact amount, but I have enough... |

A great night

Long time no blog I know. Tonight was great.
I just wanted to say after finishing some work late, and catching the tail end of the cagcast live show, my night got even better when I saw the most unusual collaboration in music game video history... While playing Guitar Hero World Tour I saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raSTYzLUuL0 Ozzy, Sting, Travis Barker playing La Bamba???? WTF?? This game has some of the most ridiculous character models I've ever seen! I don't think watching Kurt Cobain in GH 5 would be much better, would it? |

Anyone else dislike different food touching each other on the same plate?
By The Mana Knight 12-16-2009 09:10 PM
|
|
While most of my recent blogs show me turning into a more normal person, I'm going to take a step back and admit one strange thing about me.
For a while, I thought I was the only person in the world who hated different food touching each other on the same plate, but I found out one of my best friends online was the same way, along with my co-worker's nephew. Some might wonder what am I talking about right here? Basically, you are fixing a plate of food for Thanksgiving. Someone places rice, turkey, greens, dinner roll, etc. on the same plate. And when they move the plate around, food may overlap and fall on top of each other. For many years, having various foods touch each other on the same plate disgusts me. I can't explain why, but it does. Its like it alters the taste of the food, or appearance of the food (like make it soggy, add crumbs to it, etc.). That is why when I my parents were putting food on my plate or myself, I'd place everything on separate plates.... |

...when they cut it from my warm living brain |
|
I've been very behind in my CAG blog. I have TV questions and WiiWare questions that require community input but I've been slow to do it because i need my camera to take pictures and my sister mailed me my camera back without it.
Anyway and some of you know I have a little tumor in my brain. A little 2cm growth near my pituitary. Turns out maybe I'm not supposed to be so tall, but I'm barely 2inches taller than my father so who knew. To make a rather long and boring story short I'm in Canada to get it taken care of like an unwanted pregnancy. They'll actually be using the same equipment. (i kid) My condition is very operable so it could be much worse it could be inoperable and that would suck. Seriously you have no idea how much trouble I'd be in with just about everyone I know if I was dying. Instead I'm so operable I've been waiting for about 13 months now. Presumably while they take care of the peeps who will die in less than say 10-12 years. Finally heard... |

Voice Actors for Games want more money
By kainzero 12-16-2009 12:48 PM
|
![]() Come on. You said TWO lines! I read an article in the newspaper the other day (Yes, newspapers still exist, and yes, people do still read) about how voice actors want more money for their work in games. Yeah, sure. This reminded me of when I used to work in the gaming industry and how shortchanged we all got when it came to getting credit. Oh, and money too, but that's just me being greedy. Seriously though, chances are that the guy whose name is on the strategy guide has no clue what is actually in his book. Programmers stay up long nights trying to make sure that some game debilitating bug is fixed and to argue with designers over how certain features are implemented. Graphics and sound people fight with those people because of their vision and to make sure everything looks the way they want it to. Testers work long hours to make sure that the programmers did their job |

Great Games 2009 - The Not Contenders
By KingBroly 12-16-2009 09:51 AM
|
|
While not as good as the contenders on my list, these are really exceptional games that are a blast to play. There’s not really anything wrong with them except that they just weren’t as good as the games on my Contenders list. That’s not entirely true as there are some problems I had with each of these games at some point. Anyway, here’s why these games are here.
- Punch-Out!!! One might say I’m a nostalgic fanboy about this one, but as someone who never played any of the previous iterations of Punch-Out past the first fighter, I can clearly say that this game is amazing. The style, combined with the animation is awesome combination. The standard controls are definitely good to get you past the first stage of the game with minor difficulty, but when it comes to Title Defense, you really need to switch to the Classic style controls just for better reaction times. The music of this game is also something I really enjoyed. It’s bright and cheery,... |

The Illusion of All-Madden - Time Shift Tackling |
|
I've decided that to start a new series where I'm going to expose the issues of Madden for all of CAG to see. The purpose of this new blog is to showcase the issues that Madden has. You can't ask for a better game unless you're aware of exactly what the issues are. Plus understanding the issues of Madden will make you a better Madden player.
Madden is supposed to be a "Simulation" game. But have you guys ever asked, what is the difference between the difficulty settings? How does the A.I. operate at each level of difficulty setting? The Madden CPU aka SKYNET, at the higher difficult setting will not increase the level of A.I. it will instead implore a set of tactics that give the "Illusion" that the computer is performing better when in-fact that they are not. It is this illusion that I'm going to demonstrate to you via videos from users apex, versus2, moddy and others. Here in the video below is an example of... |
