what is the dumbest purchase you have ever made?

Not open for further replies.
I bought Enter the Matrix a few days after it came out for full price, and I got the guide for only $5!
Never again will I buy a game without reading a few reviews.
 
And with this, I have finally finished this pseudo OTT that we OTTers took over around page 3.


First off, Simpsons are awesome but haven't been doing so good lately. Still the seasons have had 2-4 classics and some others that were fairly good. Not totally collapsed yet.

Pizza Hut isn't bad but I think there prices are a little high and that there are some better pizza parlors out there.

Oh and Crash, what do you mean defender said they would be back in a week. Is he deleting them permanently and that they are not sanctioned any more or are they just emproarily down or is it that after they are deleted, we can start them up again.


If they are deleted, Poof there goes probably 300-450 posts. Still not as bad as some of you but still, I like my posts and my count.

You think that's bad? I'll lose at least a couple thousand, but it's not the post count that I really care about, it's just the fact that the OTT is gone.

:( this makes me so sad. I don't know now if I will frequent the site all the much anymore, and to think it was turning out into such a great community. Sure you had your bad apples, but they were dealt with , unlike other sites. I guess without the OTTs, I won't be posting as much, just browsing the site here and there. And to think we had some great recent additions to the OTT community, zion/xz(don't know your name, no disrespect or anything but it's kind of difficult to remember) and the rest, crymnl, dz, sneaky.

So even good deals on videogames is not reason enough to just check a website every once in awhile?[/quote]

Other game forums offer the exact same thing. I come here for the community, which also seems to be spiraling lately.[/quote]

Yes they did for a little bit but I believe it's set been fixed/ the situation has been rectified (funny word).

From the FAQ.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/faq.php#22

In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
 
worst purchase? probably forty dollars for soul calibur 2 (import gamecube) it isnt worth that much.

also it is easy as pie.

other regrets: i think i paid $30 for suikoden 3 and played it for about 20 minutes and deciding it sucked. other than that, those are my only really BIG buying mistakes.
 
[quote name='zionoverfire'][quote name='charcoalfeather']what is the dumbest purchase you have ever made? i made a really dumb one this weekend and i need to feel better...

i lost a the second disc to a video game i was playing and i searched for about a month maybe even longer.. i really wanted to finish the game so i purchased a new copy and opened it up and about 5 minutes later i found the second origianl disc..... so i ended purchasing 2 sets of one game for full price each time... good job me.....]
hopefully my nice and wonderful boyfriend will trade me one of his games for my extra copy[/quote]

What game is this anyhow? Someone on this site might want to trade for it.


Oh and my worst purchase ever was a joystick I payed $80 for so I could play some dog fighting game better than with my mouse, turns out I hate useing joysticks and its been sitting in its box for the last 8 years.[/quote]

Lemme guess... Thrustmaster FCS? One of them with the throttle? Back then, I used to dream of using one of the higher end ones with Jane's/EA Fighter's Anthology
 
Yeah well, I had my headphones full blast and they go pretty god damn loud, and I had it on for a good 10 seconds before I Xed out.

Good night guys, I'm out for the night.

A) that was not need as I for one have actually read the rules. B) I don't just post to increase my rank, just that with the posts I have mae, I would like to keep them thank you. C) I have posted deals and the like (offers ect.) and these (the OTT section) were specifaclly designed (as far as I can discern) were meant for these and finally D) quit being a Jackass and getting on my nerves. I posted in the other thread not to offend you but just to point something out.

I am as much a member of this site as you. Period. I don't abuse this site. Period. Why don't you address that to some other people. Just because you don't think I can defend my self doesn't mean anything. What do you think you post now was :roll: . I have seen much worse posting and for nothing also.

I think he already knows this. OTT aren't made to abuse the boards and make unnecessary posts, they're meant to talk about things other than gaming and deals in general.
 
I was going to leave my point to speak for itself, but the irony is just too thick here. Look at your sig. Are you telling me that having an OTT that had 500 posts in 5 hours isn't abusing the boards?

I think this guy is just being a prick to me, can I even say prick on CAG??? Eh...Whatever if it gets me ban at least I know I didn't do anything wrong. this guy is just being a jackass becaseu in the News forum on defender's topic about the OTTs I posted telling him that when I want to see a deal, I head over to the deals forum and for OTT madness, I come to the Lifestyle and OTT board. I told him that basically I don't rely only on the front page. i think he was just offended since I made sense.

No it isn't. that is why they are there, you know that's why it says OTT/OTT board. Do you even know where you are posting? In other news, it can also happen to a deal thread. Look at the CC sale once people posted you could get Disgaea for $5. It just started rolling. I think there were two topics that were merged together polus a third that was created.

It's busted. If it worked, it would really cut down on the OTTs.
 
No, I don't think it's abusing the boards. I don't care about posts counts. Take them all away and start me from 0 for all I care. The OTT are just as much a part of the site as the deals. I doubt anyone here cares about post counts. They like talking to others and being part of the community. Seriously, have you ever missed a deal just because of an off topic thread being on the main page? You can browse the forums you know, you don't have to stay on the front page. Yes, I realize that the front page usually has the best deals. When there are deals such as the TRU clearance thread etc, no OTT thread will ever bump it from the front page. You act like it's such a big deal. Even if all 5 OTT threads were on the front page it's not like they'd all stay there. Get over it and stop being an ass.

Nobody really used that feature when it was up IMo. I would go there and everytime nobody was there so I just gave up on it. I still don't think I would go to it even if it was up for some reason.
