So Amazon relisted that PS4 Hori HD Monitor at 299.99 and, for shits and giggles, I asked customer service if they would be willing to let me order one at the original price of 14.99 that they cancelled last month, expecting a sorry, we can't do that response. But they did with 1 day shipping. :D/ Here's hoping they actually ship it this time.
That's insane. Why would they do that? Lucky you.

 
The Flame Over logo, at least as it appears in my trophy card, kind of looks like those stupid kid peeing on Ford/Chevy/Dodge stickers.

More like an employee that gives too much of a shit. They want to be the best in terms of customer service and preach it to their employees from what I understand. Whoever he got on the phone is the one going to extreme measures not to tell a customer no and get them upset. Likely a new person who hasn't learned where the line is yet.

 
REALLY fucking cool. Love me some Robert Downey Jr.

Yeah I know thats their mantra and it doesnt bother me if Amazon wants to give this to him. That is their call. I find it disturbing someone would even ask for an HD monitor for $15.

Really ticked off, the Powerline adapters I bought all stopped working last night and the error message I am getting signifies that I have gone below 80 MPBS, But I only get 20 MBPS internet anyway.  Needless to say I contact customer support and they state the same.  And I ask why it worked perfect before but not now, and they stated it will work for a little bit but then stop.  No where on the box or listing did it say it had to be 80 MBPS.  

The customer service rep told me to return it right away.  I am just under a month with Amazon on them, but I don't have the original box or instructions and such.  Will Amazon still accept the return as I marked them defective?

 
What I always find funny is when you see a pricing mistake like that on Amazon and everyone starts thinking they're lawyers and that they're entitlted to shit. "THEY screwed up so they have to honor it! It's illegal if they don't! I have every right to screw them out of $275 because they messed up!" Except that's not how it works, at all. The only thing they can't do is send you the item and then charge you a different price. They have every right to cancel your order if there's a mistake with it.

But yeah, good job cheating Amazon, Mitch! Go post that in the main forum and you'll be a hero by the end of the day!
 
Also, I got a $200 GC at work yesterday for staying till 8 PM one night last week helping with some payroll stuff. The decision...do I put it in my honeymoon fund or finally grab myself a VITA?!
Vita wont suck your dick. Just plays crossplay ps4 games and shitty japanese visual novels.

He had his original $15 order canceled and didn't think they'd actually give him that same price again. Can't you just be happy for him?

Would could possibly be exciting about that game? It's going to be a rout.

The Fla game today? Not necessarily, they played UK pretty well both times they played.

Game tomorrow, who knows as dont know who they will play yet for sure, but if its LSU, they played UK very close in their one game, granted it was away at LSU and this will be a "home" game, but still not looking forward to that one.

 
On the flip side of someone ripping off Amazon, I did speak to them and they said they will accept my return with the bar bones and no box. :)  and they will notate to accept it.

(I also saved the conversation that they would accept it)

 
Marcus Marriotta had his pro day.   He was not impressive.  Underwhelming maybe.  The Bucs better draft Winston dammit.

How'd he cheat anyone? He asked a question and they said okay. He didn't deceive them in any way.

 
I am liking the Assassin team they added at some point (I think it was brotherhood, I haven't played a game since AC2), if you are tired of the sword play, just press L2 and your trusty squad of Assassin's will kill them all for you. Which is good, since the combat system is still as wonky as ever.

 
Where did you hear this, everything I heard was Mariotta looked his best...
Mike and Mike were talking about it and reading quotes from a lot of scouts that were saying he was underwhelming and did not impress. They didnt say he was bad, but they werent impressed. He missed some throws and didnt have the same zip you see from Jameis.

 
Loving Sleeping Dogs, it's been my first experience with the game and I do love the hand to hand combat, not perfect, but it works.  The Counter system is great, reminds me of Shadow of Mordor rather than Batman.  Love breaking a combo to counter rather than wait for the end of an animation.

I also did preorder Hardline, mostly because of the $10 and wanting something new to play through for a bit.  I'll see how it goes.  Right now nothing will be released for me until the Witcher in May.

Joel Klatt from Fox Sports siad it was his best... CBS Sports said reveiws were mixed, but overall it was very good...

He went 57-65 in his throws and 4 throw were just out of the reach of his receivers on deep balls, but those receivers weren't fast, and they said it would translate to the more explosive NFL caliber receivers. Not to mention every throw came from under center, which has been his biggest knock.

Also Klatt said Mariotta and Titans brass were talking for an hour afterward.

Don't get too used to it. It disappears after a couple games (unless it was in 4 or Unity). I do not recall it being in 3, and it was definitely not in Rogue (granted he isn't an Assassin).

Okay. Opinions and perspective. This Fox Sports guy might really like Marriotta so nothing he has done is bad so he talks him up. Others may disagree so they see the flaws. I dont care. I just dont see Marriotta as a pro prospect, or at least not as good of one as Jameis. So I am biased that way.

I don't have a dog in the fight... I have no bias, I just don't think either are that great. You know a "great qb" when you see one, and Andrew Luck was one of the only few recently. Before that both Mannings, but other then those three, the last decade as been such a crapshoot with Qbs, and only 4 first or second round qbs have won super bowls.

Nobody sees him as good as a prospect as Jameis except Chip Kelly and racists. Now if you want to say you do not want him because he is a knucklehead, I can understand that.

 
Bloodborn doesn't have the bestbuy gcu and $10 deal at launch. That sucks.
Dell had it with a $25 GC...I thought it would be up forever and just checked and it's not showing up...I'm still going to keep an eye on it since I have a $25 cert from Majora's on 3DS. If it comes back I'll post it.

Yeah I dont think you know a great qb when you see one either. Many people thought Ryan Leaf was going to be a great QB. It is all just opininon and guesswork.

And in my opinion Jameis has the best chance to be our stud QB of the future.

But with the Bucs past its pretty much a given that no matter what they do their pick will be wrong. The Bucs could draft Marriotta and he will suddenly turn into a crack head maniac and Jameis would go on somewhere else and be a saint.

I might end up losing my trophy streak soon, but it will be worth it. My initial plan for a mini beer trip at the end of the month is looking like 610 miles over 5 days. My main drinking buddy and I have never done a Western North Carolina. In fact, he has never spent any time in Asheville like I have. It should be a good time.
Asheville is the shit. Wifes friend lives there.

gonna swing by the biltmore?

 
I had relatives that lived in Asheville and some more in a small podunk town near there called Waynesville. Beautiful area. I assume they have a bunch of moonshiners in the mountains there too.

Oh, but isnt Asheville full of hipsters now? Then again a beer snob such as yourself is probably considered a hipster!
