[quote name='senorwoohoo']Just went on a mile-long walk to take a photo of a sign that wasn't there.

Good excuse to get out of the office, even if it wasn't productive. :)[/quote]

Now you gotta build the sign yourself and fake it.

:lol: Good idea.

I just took a picture of a sign that might be what the boss was referring to...but we'll see when she gets back.
 
seeing Melt Banana tonight, can't fucking wait.

probably the last time they'll play a small bar in Chicago, since they just did a run opening up for Tool :whistle2:(
 
[quote name='wubb']They do offer to ship it to you for free when this happens. I might take them up on that.

Circuit City gives you a GC if it isn't ready for pickup in 25 minutes or something like that. You don't even wait for a confirmation, just place the order and they guarantee it will be waiting.[/quote]
Do it, wubb. If they don't ship it to you for free they'll give you a $5 coupon. At least that's what happened for me when MMX collection for $2.

I just gave them a call, told them account info, and boom. Switched over to shipping to my house.

Better edit that quick, before Shrike sees it. You'll get the banstick as well.
Edit: Clever, you didn't actually link to it -- you were paying attention... not sure how that will fair in a court of Shrike though.

Zew did the same thing earlier.

Also who cares if that guy gets banned. He's annoying as hell in the Nintendo forums.

Good?

Make that 50 posts in this one. :lol:
 
[quote name='Rocko']Oh good. Kururin Paradise shipped today. I should have it by next Wednesday or Thursday.[/quote]

can you read japanese or is it not really necessary for that game?
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']can you read japanese or is it not really necessary for that game?[/quote]
Nah. If you looked at the video I posted, the only text, it would seem, is menu navigation. I can figure that out through trial and error, or I'm sure someone has the info posted online.

I wish Orbital would drop to $15 like some of the other bitGen games. Then I'd be tempted to pick up that and Dotstream. Which are probably the only 2 bitGen games I want past Boundish.

I've had Iron Maiden stuck in my head. I win.

Also, anyone know why that $20 Circuit City coupon thread was closed? And does anyone know how many versions were posted? I think I got two different versions, but I want the clearest scan. So if there was a clear scan of the original, did anyone manage to grab it before it was gone?

I don't know why per se, but I imagine it's because we as public gamers aren't supposed to have access to the coupon to begin with, so technically it's a form of fraud since it was originally meant to be given to current CC employees only.

I don't know the true reason, I'm just speculating.

Unfortunately, since you generally have good taste in music (Tool, NIN, and you apparently enjoyed No Control), I can't really comeback with an insult on your tastes. I suppose I'll just defend Maiden and say that they fucking rock.

Oh wait, you like Bright Eyes. Fail.

The Wendy's shareholder coupon thread lasted for a while, IIRC. That wasn't really meant for us, was it?

1. I don't know what that is/was.

2. From your description, no, it wasn't, and I'd think it would have met the same fate of being deleted.

3. I don't make the rules around here.

Eh, turns out it was eventually shut down, but not for reasons one would expect. Check out post 117.

I need to stop ordering from YourMusic.com when they tell me that certain titles are limited.

But it's hard to resist three Doors albums and a Stevie Ray Vaughan album for only $28.

You were the one who closed the thread, correct? Any simple explanation why it was shut down? I don't disagree with it being shut down, I just want to know why.

Not for reasons one would expect?

Cheapy got contacted that he might be abetting a form of (albeit small) fraud. Seems right along the lines of my thinking in terms of something he'd like to avoid, especially when it could land him in hot water. I imagine he doesn't want anything to happen to himself or his site. (I must admit I find his "well I didn't host it, Imageshack did" argument pretty hilarious and very clever.)

Shrike, I know that shizz aint be aimed at me, ninja. :p

Well, I mean that it was somewhat unexpected that Wendy's contacted him. Obviously he was gonna get it off of here as soon as they did that, but I was quite surprised when I discovered they had contacted him.
 
[quote name='prmononoke']You were the one who closed the thread, correct? Any simple explanation why it was shut down? I don't disagree with it being shut down, I just want to know why.[/quote]We were heading down a slippery slope with the coupon editing that was going on. I left the code behind, in case someone wanted to try and use that, though I doubt it would fly without a coupon to back it up.

As said coupon wasn't meant to the general populace of CAG, it didn't need to be out there. As stated in the OP, it's available elsewhere.
 
Yeah, if coupons are being edited the thread is going to be dumped or at the least those posts are going to be canned.
 
Man, why'd it get all serious in here?

If I wanted serious, I'd be listening to this teleconference...

Highlander was a documentary... and the events happened in real time.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation. I figured the coupon editing wouldn't slide.
 
Now Best Buy wants to know how my store pick up experience came out. What a bunch of jokers.

In case you don't read every post of the OTT religiously - I ordered something Sunday and they didn't let me know it wasn't available until today; 4 days later... So not only did I not pick up anything, they took way too long to let me know.
 
We should make the next OTT like its a deal. Like Free OTT after rebate. Just so people come in and are all, whats an OTT. Make the OP like its spam or something.
 
Duh, I missed the very first treasure.

Woo I have 100% on the first level. :p

Also, why wasn't the original CC coupon link kept? It was the legit coupon, not a reproduction.
 
[quote name='Pancake Rabbit']My sweet delicious OTT is almost over :whistle2:([/QUOTE]
It went pretty well. About a full days worth of OTT, no?

I'd skip the survey crap they sent you, call the store, and speak to the Ops Manager. They forgot about your order, pure and simple, because that automated email from BB.com only is generated when the store flags the item as "No Pick", which means they looked for it and can't find it. Plus, it'll now lock the item out from being purchased on the BB.com website at that store for in-store pickup.

I'd rip the Ops Manager a new one, since that's his people fucking up.
 
Just an idea. I don't actually wanna put the work into it

wubb, did you get a number to call to have your item shipped free?

When I ordered MMX Collection (it was erroneously [spelling] labeled as available in like every store in the US) for in store they couldn't find it, they gave me a # to call for free shipping, and sent me a "How was our in-store pickup?" email.

I called, and she put it on free shipping and told me I'd have to wait since it was backordered. A few days later I got a cancellation email and a $5 coupon.

Now I need a good nickname for you. If I could remember your real name from when I put you in the newspaper, I'd have something to work with. Dagnabit!
