Cainiac, are you around and do you have any interest in these? I'm not sure if I can make it to our Sears in the next day or two but if you do I'll totally pay you back if you score an extra. I can do the same for you if I get out there.

I wish I had a CAG buddy in the area. Not that it would do me much good though, as the selection in the stores nearby me always sucks.

 
Since I didn't mention this last time, I stopped by Gamestop on my way to get the PSTV at Target yesterday. Went in and picked up a steelbook copy of Beyond Two Souls off of the shelf. Looked at the used Vita section to see the prices, but of course they seemed expensive. Was asked by one of the employees of I needed help but I responded that I was good.

Went up to the register and I ask if there had a new copy since the one I grabbed was gutted. He asked if I meant a used one. I replied, "No, a new copy". He looked at me perplexed. I added, "Do you have another copy?" Then he said "Yeah, let me look it up." He found a sealed one and I was on my way to Target.

I guess he must have thought that I didn't know that I had grabbed the "new" copy. While the guy is pretty cool, the last time I came in to grab a new game (Killer is Dead) he said it was the last copy. The next time I visited, they had another gutted copy out.
 
All this Sears talk reminds me of a stupid shit thing that happened to me there last year.  I saw on the Sears clearance thread on here that they had Move bundles w/ camera, motion controller, & maybe navigation thing, plus that skeleton knight game and maybe one of the Sports Champs for like $10.  Saw my Sears at the mall had two of them and I was all set to buy both and got them out of the cabinet.  Dude brought them to the cash register and said they wouldn't scan.  I guess the UPC was no longer in the system.  He called around to other stores to get it, and they told him that that product was marked to trash or send back or something like that.  So he couldn't sell them to me at all.  Daddy was pissed.

Kmart did that to me years ago on Nyko rechargable batteries for XBox360 controller. It was a two pack with charger for like $9 or something like that. Black ones wouldn't scan. White would. Wouldn't sell me the black ones that matched most of my controllers but would sell me the white ones. I took them but I was annoyed.

McDonald's Fish Filet sandwich is heavily dependent on if you get lucky and get a fresh one. Your best bet is when they are super busy. If they've been sitting around they are terrible, but if they are fresh they aren't bad, really. Probably the best thing at McDonalds when they are right.

That can be said about most things at mcdonalds.

Heres a life hack for you:

Go to mcdonalds drive thru and ordered unsalted fries.

They salt all the fries unless requested so they will have to drop you some fresh fries that you will get piping hot.

when you get to the window and they hand you your fresh unsalted fries, ask for salt packets.

Proceed to put the salt on your piping hot fries and then enjoy your fresh, salted, fries.

 
So now that I got that story out of my system, time to post something on-topic in the off-topic thread.

Are the golds Bluetooth/Wireless? Is the noise very isolated (i.e. no one should be able to hear it if I turn up the volume)?

Already have some P11's from a while back, so I have to know if it's really worth it to get them as I hardly use them as it is.

You forgot the step where you try to ignore all the workers inside bitching about the elitist asshole in the drive-through.

I ordered 3 Mcdoubles with big mac sauce one time, thinking I'd get fresh burgers. All that got me was big mac sauce slapped on burgers that already had ketchup and mustard on them.

Any of you guys ever play Xcom Declassified? It's one of those games I totally forgot existed until now. Since it is readily available for cheap, I'm considering checking it out.

Its pretty shitty. Its a basically ME with a mental disability.

Also as far as the broken poll, every poll function I've ever seen on any forum has always worked this way. You're supposed to vote blindly based on your opinion rather than be swayed by the current standings. Generally however they don't allow you to cancel your null vote after choosing it. It locks you in to not voting permanently. Thats the real broken part here imo, it allows you to delete and recast your vote at any time regardless of what you've chosen.

Wireless not Bluetooth. There is a USB dongle that works with PS3 and PS4. There is a cord though for Vita that is included in the package.

I can not for sure talk about the isolation because I am always the one wearing them. My guess would be yes.

Same thing with K-mart, as I'm guessing they use the same POS software at this point. I used to get great deals at both Kmart and Sears but it's been a barren wasteland at both places more recently. Then I find something good it's out of the system and they try and make up some shitty price or say it's $59.99 like on the label...lol. At $30 though for the Golds I might have to bite. Kmart was where I got my slim PS3 for $180 when it was still three or four hundred. I also got some PSP Gos for $50 back in the day. Good times.

 
The Golds are not isolated.  If your volume is high people can hear the noise.  Not sure if they could discern words but they definitely can be heard.  But only in the same room.  They arent crazy loud.

Yeah I'm interested. I was at sears a week or so grabbing a Mario 3D Land for 7 bucks store pick up that I ordered during black friday week, but I can't recall if I remember seeing the headsets. I'll stop in when I'm near, either tonight or tomorrow.

They're not really fancy, they're the perfect no fuss headset with fantastic quality and instant set up.

If you can find those Golds for 30 don't hesitate. I have a pretty decent setup but have still been using those nonstop since BF. Love them.

Sears also has Dualshock 4s going for $30. I picked one up over the weened (vigilante posted about it - thanks). Surprised more people haven't jumped on it. That's a crazy markdown lol.

Not to mention holding up everyone else in the drive thru who ordered regular things and aren't pricks.

Awesome. I was gonna give them a call with the UPC on the way home from work. I'll let you know if that gets me anywhere.

They're wireless but not BT, so you have to have a wireless dongle plugged into the PS3. That part is pretty stupid, tbh. There's some noise isolation but not much from the perspective of the person wearing them. With that in mind I can't imagine they're that quiet to people around you, either.

Man that El Gato price is holding ridiculously steady this holiday season.  Newer version has seen a couple price drops, but kind of kills the point when I'd have to buy a $25 HDMI splitter along with it.

Yeah, I did comment on that. Working properly would be one of two things:

1. Never let you re-vote, and viewing the results counts as a null vote (which should be a viewable part of the poll.)

2. Let you see the poll without voting.

There's no reason to count a null vote unless you're also prevented from changing your vote, as you said.

There changed my trophy thing, set it to none now.

Dont think I realized that was an option when I had it it on one.
Click to expand...
None looks weird, too, since the trophy card is so empty on the left side. That'll vary a bit based on the game, but a lot of them do have that barren/less busy spot where the trophies are supposed to go.

It being a dick move? I imagine it would. Though its harder to ignore the seething contempt they all collectively share for you when you look them all directly in the face.
Click to expand...
Umm no.

when you order them unsalted on the inside and not the drive thru, the salt is usually in the condiments area with the cokes and stuff. You dont have to ask for it then...

The dick move is doing it in the drive thru.

I never use the drive thru, I park and go inside. Depending on the time of day it might actually be faster as I only ever see long lines at breakfast. Also so I can do the mix of ice and soda i want.

If you're doing it because you need to keep a low sodium diet, more power to ya.

If you're doing it just to get fresh hot fries, regardless if it's inside or out, it's a dick move.

Hmmm. Well I thought we were talking about about the actual region, not our collegiate allegiances. I actually really like Tally, but outside of that I'm not a fan of that part of Florida. We've discussed this before though so I'll leave well enough alone.
 
I dont think its that bad a move if you order something special inside.  Drive through, yeah.  But the real dicks are the fat fuck s that go through the drive through and order 2 meals each for themselves and each of their 5 kids in the mini van. 

 
I'm thinking about actually checking my Sears tomorrow for them, though there game section has gotten more and more barren over the last year.  Don't really need them as my Pulse Elites are rockin' my sockin', but maybe for a back up pair.  Or to sell.  Or to taunt MildPete with.

I'm not against special orders, like only ketchup or no pickles or what not. I do that because I don't like most condiments. I'm against having them make a special batch of fries just because you feel you're too special to eat lukewarm ones every once in awhile.
