Speaking of best buy, does anyone named vig know when elite status refresh is and if there's any unboxed rumblings about adding more titles to the $10 preorder?

Fat chicks are some haters.

How is that unhealthy?

Everyone is built differently. I think even when I was a size 4/6 I didn't have a thigh gap, I'm just not built that way ( junk in the trunk ;) ), I never got pissed at anyone for having it though. You never see guys complaining about AF models. Sad people with nothing better to do

negative on the $10 no refresh. and I am not sure what you are asking about status refresh... are you currently elite and it is expiring? then January 31st. As far as becoming Elite, as soon as you qualify, your status changes and last through the next year till January 31st when all elite tracking numbers will reset.

1.

What are the start and end dates of My Best Buy Elite and Elite Plus?
Status begins when you qualify, continues through the end of the following calendar year, and ends on the last day of the following February. In any subsequent year, a member may re-qualify for status when the member reaches the published spend requirement on qualifying purchases at Best Buy or BestBuy.com during the calendar year, or the spend requirement on the My Best Buy MasterCard.

2. I'm not sure, but there are a few ideas that you can vote for (and they really do listen to those) like adding Just Cause 3 and Mortal Kombat X.

Yes, and it is fucking awesome. It is probably in the top 10 of my favorite IPAs. That beer has probably been around for 5 years or more. Someone just wanted some press it appears.

Take your word for it, not an IPA fan.

However by brother in law is, so he would like it I bet, so good to know if I see it can grab it for him.

You could try calling customer service and having them change the pickup person name on the order? Mine is strict about that kind of thing, but I think it's standard for them to check id and the original form of payment (unless it was gift cards).

I decided to risk being in stuck on hold hell and did this. I surprisingly got an American person on the other end of the phone without really having to wait at all. I was shocked by that.

He proceeded to tell me they could not change the name since so much stuff walks out of the store. I proceeded to tell him their policies were more of a PITA than Wal-Mart and he laughed. His plan was to cancel the order and let me replace it, but for some reason to his surprise it let him add my wife on the order. I assume it was because the amount was so low. Thanks for helping push me to try that route.

SHIT!!! before even posting this I get an email and he did manage to change the name, but even though I spelled my wife's name he entered it wrong. God damn it!

Liked for customer service ineptitude in name spelling. My insurance company can't manage to spell my 17 year old's last name right even though it's the same as her mom's on the same policy. I finally surrendered and told her she needed to change her name if she wants to be insured.

Are you talking about the breakfuss thing? I was honestly hoping it had exploded even more when I read this message, but sadly, there isn't much else.

Yeah that and then railborg was making fun of snakey for some adventure time game then snakey lied about only paying $6 for it, that was pretty funny too.

But seriously I can find petty drama in there at least once a week.

I went back to the website and shockingly after all the things they send you about not being able to change things, there was a make changes button on the order status page where I could magically change the incorrect spelling of my wife's name. After 8 emails for this 1 order I think things are all set.

That is the most work I have ever done for a $10 online order I think.

Well the entire crew of Greg Miller, Colin Moriarty, Tim Gettys, and Nick Scarpino quit IGN... however Coling and Greg are still going to do podcast beyond.

they are expanding their current youtube channel to cover game stuff now too.

Wow, that's definitely shocking. But good for them. Hopefully their venture remains successful and they don't regret the jump. Although, I'm sure they wouldn't have any problems finding another gaming journalism job.

Since it's at BBY, I guess I might as well grab one. Right? Sometimes I wish I didn't have GCU.

Hey Papi, your buddy Tyler was streaming The Golf Club last night. Wasnt it you talking about ti when it was coming out? I hope I am not remembering wrong. It was his surprise game! Woohoo!

 
Dish Network is going to have a streaming TV service for $20 a month, but it's pretty limited. However it *does* include ESPN and ESPN2:

http://www.avclub.com/article/dish-network-debuts-streaming-service-espn-some-ot-213430

The main shortcoming, aside from not having a lot of channels, is that it will only allow one stream at a time. You can't watch on more than one TV/device at a time. That's dumb. But it gets the ball rolling, at least.

Yes, plus the FFXV demo code that comes with all Day One Editions. But don't forget that it's a GOLD steelbook. :drool:

1. Buy game at BBY with GCU
2. Sell demo code on eBay
3. Sell extras
4. Send in steelbook to Cash 4 Gold
5. Play and then trade-in disc-only game
6. ???
7. Profit

Flip of the century.

I was just informed that I would be the lead candidate for the job I talked about a month or two ago.   But the senior managers want someone in NY.   If I didnt have a kid and wasnt about to get the big D, I would most likely do it.  But I just cant at this point in my life.

The hiring manager did say that he wants to find a place for me somewhere if he can find something in Tampa.  Apparently part of why it is taking so long to hire someone is because he has been bugging management to let them hire me and stay in Tampa.  That feels real good.

I am not as big a jackass as my wife and you all think I am!

To be fair, we are still fighting the civil war. And there is this little "thing" happening in the middle east thats gone on for centuries. Certain things just cant be forgotten.

My thing with trade ins is that I usually swap out a RED GH case for the game I'm trading. I loved trading in games that never hit GH and give them that beautiful red case. I have traded in just Vita games w/o the case in the past.
