I feel like a total idiot... well... moreso...

I went to BB today because I've been waiting for my video card to be onsale on Friday. I get the card and bring it to the counter... it rings up twice the price I was expecting. So... yea, it tends to only be Black Friday one Friday a year. :sad: :wall:

Also, I got my Dragon Warrior VIII demo today... talk about delayed o_O...
 
Tomorrow I have my first shift at EB. I apparently can go through the swag room and raid it at some point, I'll have to find time to do that.
I hope the idiots stay away tomorrow cause I don't feel like dealing with dumbasses.
And I think dc asked the discount: I get 15% off at EB and Gamestop and 30% off at Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Also we have employee appreciation day 12/06 (i think it was) and we get a bigger discount.
I laughed when Jonathan told me the dresscode they told him to tell all of us. I'm going to look like a boy. :lol: I might ask if I can where a blouse instead of a button-down shirt. I can understand telling guys to wear a button-down shirt, but girls have blouses, ya know?
 
[quote name='Zenithian Legend']So... my mom just called me and said she has breast cancer :sad:

fortunately it's very early, and she should be alright, but still...[/QUOTE]

I'm very sorry to hear that, Horsey. My prayers and best wishes to your mother.

Thankfully, they found it very early, so I'm sure that she'll be OK. It's going to be a long, hard road to recovery for her, but she'll be OK.

I asked that about a week ago, but thanks for answering :lol: That's not a bad discount if you can use it on new games as well as preowned. It'd be even sweeter if you can stack it with the edge card, but somehow I doubt that's likely. For me, real perk would have to be that swag room. I can only imagine the things you might find in there. Just this week my eb put out a bunch of brand new PS1 games. They just broke the seal and marked them as used.

It can work on new. (used it on Mario Kart)
And I think you can stack it but I haven't tried. o_O


On a different note: I got in my order from wizzywig. A bunch of Dragonquest stuff. I'll take some pictures to share momentarily.

I bought two of the keychain things (the ones that people got free with the demo). I liked my free ones so I decided to order two more. I got a Blue King Slime in one (pictured on the right), a clear slime (on the left) and a green batslime (in next picture)
DSC00408.jpg

I bought two slime banks that contained a random plush. The banks are in the middle. I got a dracia (bat-thingie) seen in the picture and a blue king slime plush in next pixture. I also ordered a Blue King Slime stressball, that's in the right of the above picture.

Lastly is the Slime Knight figure I ordered.

Overall I was very happy with my blue king slimes ^_^

I'm sorry to say, but your slimes are only the second coolest video game paraphanelia I've seen today. The first would have to be those minature Sega consoles http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1499700#post1499700
 
[quote name='AngellicLulu']Oh, yeah, well, I have a Mr. Saturn plush so :p[/QUOTE]

But its not 1in^3 with real moving parts.
 
I hate sound boarding Detroit Pistons games. The commercial cues are there are no commercial cues. Kind of like a surprise birthday party.
 
I went to GameCrazy the other day and found out that I'm on second shipment for a 360, as they're only getting 6 or 7 consoles on the 22nd.

THANKS A LOT, GOD.

Look on the bright side. Either you're still getting one, or you got some extra cash in your pocket to blow on something else. :D

One of my friends has... a huge glass cabinet of Transformers. I can't remember how many Transformers are in it, but it was something like 300 - 400, or something like that.

Yeah... I'll never let him live it down. ;o

Well, I at least have the excuse that I actually can and do program robots, design knowledge bases and set up intelligent agents all of the time. :lol:
I have actual credentials proving myself to be a geek... disputing it now isn't worth the effort. :lol:

I can program people.

I kind of wish I were kidding.

I wouldn't know. I'm not a program manager. ;)
 
Oh, and I see why you said that now. I thought it was an attack from left-field for a minute(s) there.

I didn't mean that I program people (at a radio station); I don't, anyway.

What I meant to say was I'm a raging sociopath. ;o

Good, good jokes become bad, and bad jokes become painful when they have to be explained. :lol:

(For those of you keeping score at home, that was a bad joke. As is this one. :D )

Nope, this close to Christmas, and near the 360 launch? The idiots will be out in droves.

Button down shirts? I thought most EB employee's wore company polos.
Hmm. Odd.

Dude, I don't think people realize just how difficult it is for me to get a button-down to fit me. Usually the second or third button is going to pop. They better accept this nice blouse I'm wearing.
And polos are icky. I don't like the feel of them.

When I worked at EB, and this was back in the summer of 1999, the store dresscode included a button down shirt and tie.

No tie and if they ever asked me to, I'd laugh at them. I'm already not wearing jeans and not wearing any of my oriental print and I'm wearing makeup. They should feel honored I'm going through so much trouble just to greet customers.

I'm hoping if I impress them enough they'll keep me on past holidays. But I'm a foolish optomist.

So then don't button the top 2-3 buttons. Maybe it will even drive sales.

Actually since my buttondown blouse has a shirt underneath I left all the buttons undone.

:applause:

I wish there was a 'high-five' icon or something, cause I'm getting tired of clapping. ;)

Btw, LuLu, I think the tie was for male employees only... they hired a chick to replace me when I went back to college and I believe she just wore a blouse (like you were talking about above).
 
[quote name='AngellicLulu']Actually since my buttondown blouse has a shirt underneath I left all the buttons undone.[/QUOTE]

I guess I can't say anything about that... I always wear an undershirt.

I was kind of surprised though... after my employer moved away from a uber-strict dress code (3 piece suit, white shirt, and single color tie), the amount I spend on clothes actually went up. Rather than having 2 suits, 3 ties and a number of white shirts, and stops at the cleaners every few days, I had to get a fair number of kackis, new shirts, and new shoes.

I'm having a major crisis. I can't decide which to get, DQVIII, Alter Code F, or Magna Carter. Dragon Quest has that FFXII demo. Magna Carter has that 100 page art book. But Alter Code F is a remake of one of my favorite RPGs and is the only one of the three I actually want to play. What should I do?

Wild Arms.
I got it. It tis good. And guide= cool too. Been waiting 2 years for this game. I've had a preorder since April.

Magna Carta has the most beautiful opening I've seen in awhile. But I haven't played it yet.

DQVIII is where it's at. Magna Carta looks interesting, but apparently it's not as good as I thought it was gonna be. DQVIII is amazingly fun. RPG of the year so far.
 
It's kind of funny... going through the deal forum right now is like negotiating and emotional minefield.

Click into a thread and see a great deal! WHOOO!
Click into a thread and see someone bragging about being a thief. Lame-ass motherfucker!
Another great deal! WHOOO!
Someone being a whiny bitch because they couldn't utterly rape a store on a questionable deal. Dumbass.
Another great deal! WHOOO!!
Greedy asshole talking about how he just bought all of a mismarked thing, bought a store out of a number of decent deals (right in front of other people wanting the same thing) just so they could list it on ebay or flip it at Gamerush.
Selfish jerkoffs.
Another great deal! WHOOO!
