Hey Vig or Pharm or anyone else, did you actually get BB to price match your CoD? I just called CS since I ordered it online and she wouldn't do it for me since the Day Zero edition has a different SKU from the normal one that is the DotD. Wondering if I should try again or just give up. At least I got them to give me $16 back on LBP3.

Call again and say Price ADJUSTMENT instead of price match.

Back when I was around 10-12 or so we went to NJ to visit the grandparents for Christmas. While we were there we went to see Rockettes on Ice (IIRC). Before sitting down in the theater, my sister and I met this guy:

My only brush with a famous person was also a literal one: When Bill Clinton gave a speech at the University of Oregon in 2001 I was in a group that got to chat with him a bit. As I was shaking his hand and saying hello some girl accidentally bumped into me from behind and I stumbled forward such that my other hand braced against Slick Willy's package for a sec. I was horribly embarrassed but he was awesome about it; just chuckled and said playfully "Hold on now, we only just met!" lol

I also got to shake Obama's hand in 2008 on a ropeline but alas no chatting or second chance at presidential package :D

I think I've said it before in here, but comedy really does change with the times. I've had the benefit of seeing a lot of those 80s movies for the first time as an adult and I'm sorry, but the vast majority do not hold up. I'm sure 20 years from now people will be saying the same thing about all the comedy I enjoy.

I think it only changes with the times if you change with it. Some stuff I found hilarious as a teenager in Ace Ventura is now just stupid to me. But a lot of movies and shows hold up over the years. I can watch an old Abbott and Costello or Three Stooges movie, a Monty Python sketch, or an old silent film with Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, or Harold Lloyd, and be in stitches.

Is that the story of how you became gay?

I think I did say adjustment, actually. But whatever I said, they did it for LBP3 on the same call. The lady was just being anal because when she put in the exact SKU it said it wasn't available anymore. I tried explaining to her that it was just the same thing as the DotD and she didn't seem to give a crap.

Unless people know gaming like we do it won't matter what you tell them, technically with the different sku its a completely different item. In fact the sku does matter say if you were ordering this for store pick up, the Day One and standard come through as two different products. Exception could and should be made in your scenario but a non gamer won't get that its really the same product that has always had the same price. All they see is two separate products in the system, essentially no different than price adjusting a fridge under a microwave sku.

Anal employee story:
I went to McDonald's to get two egg biscuits. I had a coupon that stated 'buy one egg mcmuffin or any breakfast sandwich, get one free'. Lady denied it in the following order for the following reasons:
L - you have to buy an egg mcmuffin
M - it says 'or any breakfast sandwich'
L - egg biscuit isn't a breakfast sandwich
M - but you just rang it up
L - excludes dollar menu items
M - its not on the dollar menu
L - no.

Shit I failed to realize the call of duty deal is just a deal of the day. I don't feel like going back out now. They will probably have it on sale again before January 15.
 
My favorite part of every Assassin's Creed game so far:

I'm perched high atop a viewpoint, 100 ft or so above the ground.  I want to do an eagle dive into a haystack.  I aim my player toward said haystack.  Game decides what I really wanted to do was jump like an idiot to my death to a spot on the ground next to the haystack.

I was beginning to think you died. You watch Arrow yet?
 
When I was a kid we used to go to a lot of WWF shows. One time we went and had front row seats. The Bushwackers came down the row and licked the top of my head. Haven't washed it since.

Physical comedy is definitely an exception to the rule. Seeing people get hurt is always funny.
 
As far as famous people go, when I was 15/16 I used to work at a Car dealership, we used to get some ex-Raiders players in but I never knew who they were. They were super nice though. We also had some old baseball player from the Yankees. I liked him, he was the sweetest man. As far as people who I actually know their names. Cedric the Entertainer would come in all the time, he thought it was hilarious that one of my coworkers would freak out around him while I had no idea who he was (I know now who he was)

I also met Farmar (sp?) a  couple of times, he used to come in to my old job all the time with his crew/posse/fanboys,  he's a douche. 

Also met all of No Doubt (minus Gwen) they were all super nice. They signed some stuff for me. Asked me how I was doing and talked to me for a bit :D

This reminded me that we ran into Cedric here in Tampa as well. Him an his entourage were out with Simeon Rice (maybe some of them were Simeon's people as well). I think it was at the Blue Martini, cant remember for sure, but some "cool" nightclub anyway.

They were all nice to us, but thats because we had some fine women with us. Even my wife was hot back then. Simeon is just a chill guy anyway probably because he is high all the time. Anyway my wife claimed Cedric grabbed her ass when they took some pics with him. She tells me this after we got to Denny's hours later. I was like damn bitch why didnt you start screaming then so we could extort some money from him!? Then I thought a second and thanked god she didnt as his big fuck ing bodyguards packing would have probably killed me. So I thanked her for not saying anything until it was too late.

How many years has it been since she was hot? :whistle2:k

I saw that story. The dude just happened to create a start up company/website right as this story broke too. Seems like a marketing gimmick to me. She supposedly has a boyfriend too that is pissed she is leaving for 2 months with some stranger.

Ah so marketing ploy most likely.

That bf has every right to be pissed, the two are probably going to end up sleeping with each other.

I used a $10 off coupon from trading in CoD: Ghosts to get my copy for $39.99 at launch after GCU + coupon. I figured the math and/or logic would probably make any CS rep's head explode, so I decided not to bother. I also bought it in-store and didn't have any other reason to drive 30 miles for only a possibility of getting money back.
