    Someone's got a secret...

    From my website's stat service. That College Station, TX visitor has been poking around a LOT on my site and I suspect the other one will do so as well. So, which one of you secretly reads my stuff but will probably come here and call it crap, while denying you read more than 2 sentences...

    What happened to this country?

    1991. Four LAPD officers beat Rodney King. The courts refuse to do anything. The city of Los Angeles burns in angry riots. 2009. Police brutality is at a level never seen before. People are being tazed and abused left and right by the police and arrested for practically nothing. These officers...

    An update on the spare Sega Saturn

    I can't find the old thread, but.... Sadly, I never got to smash it up. I almost did but stuck it out on craplist for 2 weeks longer and finally sold it. The system, 3 controllers and NIGHTS for $20. Girl said she was buying it for her boyfriend. No, she lied to me. She's an Amazon reseller- I...

    Craigslist finally does it. Forced account signups

    CL is in the process of forcing everyone to sign up accounts. Today I had trouble posting an ad telling me I had to have an account for every category. I turned my broadband modem off and on, which changed my IP address so I get the post form again. Instead of getting the posting email, I get a...

    Final Fantasy Play Arts at Toys R Us, but...

    ... they're $17 each. 17 damn dollars for a 5" tall PVC chunk with no articulation. These should be $7 at the most. But every fanboy within range will probably buy them anyway. I do have to wonder how long it will be until Square Enix just sends goons to the homes of their fans to punch them...

    I hate Rita. Dexter rant

    I hate the character. She's basically manipulative and controlling, all wrapped up in this innocent little southern girl mask. She started this in season 2. Dexter gets her abusive husband back in prison, and she finds excuses to complain upon learning of what he did. Then it degenerated into...

    craigslist trying to force random account sign-ups

    It had to happen... sometimes I'm asked to sign up a craigslist account when I post an ad. I'm not even given it as an option, it's "sign up to continue" at teh captcha screen. The only way I seem able to bypass it is to go back and edit the ad's text. I don't know if it's the length of an ad...

    Walmart seems to be getting rid of 97 cent shipping

    Well... I remember when Walmart.com ofered 97 cent shipping as an option for home delivery. I managed to order a few good items for cheap this way, rather than ordering elsewhere for higher shipping or driving to some store in the hope they'd have what I wanted. Recently I tried to order...

    define "mint condition"

    I send emails to Amazon sellers inquiring directly about the condition of whatever they sell, because I'm stupid enough to believe they will be honest with me. I'm sitting here with a game, promised to be in practically mint shape, but the disc has clearly been resurfaced and the paper insert...

    Kijiji- like craigslist, but a ghost town

    www.kijiji.com I'm guessing very few people on the planet are even aware that Kijiji exists. I sometimes post copies of my ads on there but their listings- especially in the Cincinnati area- are VERY thin. Counting mine, there are 5 game console listings and 1 is the typical WoW account fraud...

    disposing of a Sega Saturn

    I found a round button model 2 Saturn which Imodchipped and beefed up with a larger battery box, which has left my model 1 oval button to sit in a box, unused and unneeded. I put it on craigslist with a controller, power cord, 2 fighting game controllers and 3 games. As I have 1 TV cable...

    gouging the in-store customers

    The Cincinnati area has a new chain called Buybacks which is used games and DVDs. This chain, aside rom running stores in the area, also sells their stuff via Amazon's marketplace. Each separate store location has their own amazon store. I've noticed that their in-store prices of games are...

    Hori Gameboy Player controller ONLY $10!

    Pictures and details here. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/vgm/1388150914.html I'm sure I'll face some minor gamer geek rage for destroying one of these rarities, but I really don't care. Just because you didn't want to buy it doesn't mean I give it away. I dispose of unwanted junk, I don't...

    Sonic Chronicles 2 is dead in the water

    Sonic Chronicles... Bioware's big failure into licensing the franchise. It suffered from a brainless plot that was taken almost wholesale from Twilight Princess. Boring gameplay. Dialog that was so bad, a retarded monkey could have done a better job. More characters than were needed, considering...
