That is a good point about ebay. Of course, you have to pay fees to ebay, and then most likely to paypal, plus it takes weeks for total turnaround, so it's fairly inconvenient. I guess we're at a point where you might as well just keep every game that you purchase. Curse you, GameStop.
Congratulations Chris on making those grades. Very important. Not only could I be making alot more money now and have a much better chance at getting into grad school if I made those grades, but I wouldn't be hounded by my mom's constant reminders that I should have done better. Good grades rock.
I figure the costs of E-bay, paypal, and even shipping still outweighs the cost of simply trading it at a store. You can even take that money right away and buy a new game if you wish, course if you buy on ebay you do have that long wait. Just depends on how patient you are. It's like when PS3 came out. You could either wait a few months for the next shipment or stand in line for hours chancing getting shot.
As far as families go.....well I just grabbed broodwar, command and conquer, command and conquer tiberian sun, heroes of might and magic V, knights of the old republic 1 and 2, and Arcanum. Probably keep me occupied between chats and photograph manipulations.

Whenever you get a chance Daggs, you're going to have to tell me how HoMM5 is, as I played four a decent amount, but still am playing 3, because that's the best of the series in my never-so-humble opinion.
I have HOMM5, I think it's great. Not as good as 3, but leagues better than 4. The Campaign maps are actually challenging, which is nice.
@Chris: We'll have to play some HOMM5 at some point, I really like that series, and haven't played the game in ages.
Just so everyone knows, though most people won't care, today I PMed the 3 mods for this forum, requesting that the Magic Coffeehouse be shut down. I've always thought it was stupid that there were 'overclans' in the Clans thread, as an overclan completely and utterly defeats the purpose of having Clans in the first place, but I never really made a big deal out of it. But now, someone from that group is going to win the Best Clan Member award, most likely, and he's only winning because of Magic Coffeehouse. I find this to be completely and utterly unacceptable, and against the spirit of the Best Clan Member award(and Clans themselves). So we'll see what happens.
I'd like to see SOME kind of reform to the clans. The contests died this year, + it's not right.
We've been watching too much Heroes >_< Aside from a brief stint outside on the blanket in the backyard, all we did yesterday was watch Sylar hook up with Saresh + people get their minds wiped x_X
I wouldn't go so far as saying unions should be disbanded. I work at Target though, so I get to feel the entirety of what a company is like without some guidance. I do understand the complaints about unions, having a father that has spent his years of work in the auto industry, thereby giving me a front-row seat to a lot of bs. I also had wicked medical coverage growing up, and he made a pretty respectable wage, compared to the slave-like benefit-less existence I have at a company that wouldn't sweat at all financially for actually treating its employees like humans... it just doesn't have to because everybody's convinced Target is a moral authority.
But I tell you now, if there is a hell, the uniform is red and khaki.
Hey Dan....since Ryan can't/won't break the rules and grab me a Wii...can you do it when one comes in? I will pay you/Target for it and for shipping. is this a possibility?
PM to let me know.
Jonny is in need!
Nick....yeah the Coffeehouse is a joke. It isn't a clan at all. It's a non-magic discussion thread for spammers. I'm even reading Admin spam in there. They don't/can't participate in any of the clan contests so why aren't they just moved to a different area on the boards. It also seems that conversations are bleeding over from the Gaymers threads into the coffee house. What the hell is going on with these stupid people??!!?

Well, when your only competition is WalMart, you can get away with alot and be considered a 'moral authority'.
I think that unions are great in principle, but like most things of a similar vein, have become archaic and corrupt. People used to band together to ensure fairness and equality, now they band together to gain more than they deserve, in the name of fairness and equality. It's just like PETA, or the hmm..I forget the name of the organization now, but it's the one that always cries hate crime if something happens to a black person. Starts with an A, maybe. Dunno.
@jonny: Hard to believe that you can't get a Wii via ebay or craigslist.
"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
@Nick. The organization that comes to my mind is the ACLU. It started out decent enough, but the stuff they get involved in nowadays is just utter garbage. One of the most recent things they got involved in, that I heard, was that a group of black kids beat a white kid to death because a group of white kids, that he wasn't a part of, hung a noose in a tree. They're saying that the black kid being in jail is wrong, immoral, or something like that.
@SP: You're talking about the Jena 6 story. The black kids didn't beat the white kid to death, from what I understand, the story is a lot more complicated. The black kids in that situation were treatedly unjustly throughout. It's a very sad tale. But yeah, the ACLU is what I was thinking of..that and/or the NAACP.
@Jonny: Craigslist is just like everything else, especially on the net. Sure, there are some psychos involved. But not everyone. Just be smart about it.
OK, I kinda figured I got the story wrong. I didn't realize just how wrong I had gotten it.:p I'll have to read up on it some more before I reference it again.
@Daron. The reason I don't give myself credit for the grades last term was because they were basic classes. English 1, Algebra, etc. Anyone could have done well in all of them, except English. We seem to have more hispanics around here than white. Most of them are here illegally, also. Pisses me off.:swear:
I can't blame anyone for not going craigslist/ebay, the holiday demand is making things get back up to around $500ish... I wouldn't be surprised if I saw them up to $700 around xmas.
I can't get you my discount on it, because I bought my Wii on discount, and Target tracks that kind of crap, but if one comes in, I could buy it (provided I have money on-hand at the time, which though I'm out of debt, I'm still pretty broke,) and we could work out the shipping and such. I'll keep my eyes open, but I never work Sundays, and that's the day they most often come in, so don't count me as a sure-thing.
Just stopping by to apologise for some of my comments earlier in the Coffeehouse. More specifically, anything that may have sounded like I was throwing accusations of vote-rigging or anything like that. I hope it didn't come off like that (it was meant to be hyperbole), but I don't think anything like that has been going on (or, rather, certainly not from the Called), and also think that rianalnn would be a fully deserving winner.
If anyone's particularly pissed about it, feel free to reply or PM me, but I really thought I should apologise, and especially to rianalnn. I know just how annoying forum drama is from the outside, so I'm not particularly impressed at myself for wading into the middle of it. Again.
Peace.
I think that it's admirable that you're making this post.
I don't think that any vote-rigging is going on, just that the existence of an 'Overclan' like Magic Coffeehouse skews the vote itself.
@Chris, you've got that pretty wrong. The gist of it is that some white kids hung up nooses in response to some black kids hanging around the white kids territories. People were outraged, some high up official guy (don't remember who but he is in the government) said boys will be boys and waved it on. Shortly after the white boys got in a fight and beat the crap out of a black kid. Again nothing. So shortly after that the Black kids retaliated and beat the crap out of the white kid. End result, multiple black kids charged as adults for attempted murder with the shoe they were kicking the kid with cited as a deadly weapon. A bit unfair?
I find that clans are much more than a few people talking on the Internet. I mean for us we know each other, we help each other when times are bad, we rejoice when things are good. We are a team, we are friends, we are family. Other clans lack that, maybe thats why we last longer than them. We know ours to be a true clan, and we can take solace in the fact that we are not them.
So I love my job. I go out into the Desert and do whatever busy work needs to be done. The field office is a bit far, minimum hour and a half drive, the farthest I need to go is three hours. So there is alot of dead time. Things were going great and I enjoyed working with my coworkers until very recently. I already told you about the girl who has a problem with me sleeping in the car, well it keeps going. We'll call her Megan for confidentiality sake...that and because I posted on this site a few times during my lunch break at work....which means the government is watching.
So recap...bout a week ago Megan made a big deal about me sleeping in the car on the way to work. I thought it was a Joke. A few days later same thing and I realize it wasn't a joke. Two more times working with her and I get the silent treatment. I ask how she is doing and she gives short curt answers. Like I'd say, "Did you do anything fun during the weekend." and She's say, "yes." end result was a twelve hour day with less than five minutes of conversation. Not fun. Another day I worked with her and we had to wait for someone....sitting together in a truck for over an hour...silence.
Both those long days I drove....because when I drive I don't sleep, if things work out anyway. She didn't even offer, and once when I asked if she wanted to drive...hint hint...she simply said no.
So today I'm off with her and another guy (call him chuck for now) heading down to the monument. I get no conversation from Megan. But I'm chatting up a storm about the previous holiday with Chuck. After a good half hour of talking the conversation dies down and there is silence. So I start to doze off.
Well she notices and starts making a ruckus. Banging on the door and hollering. Which I apparently don't respond to and don't recall. finally she yells my name and I'm up and alert looking around for the fire. When I ask her whats going on she goes, "People are not paying there hard earned tax payer money to pay for you to sleep."
I sit stunned for a sec then look back at her and say, "Well, I am soooo sorry that we can't be as productive as you are in the car. But its not your job to make sure I'm working." Which shut her up and probably made her mad.
So long story short, seems that even though I'm only here for five months there is going to be inter-office drama and over a very stupid topic. I'm fairly certain that this is the issue, and probably only issue, she has a problem with. And it has come to the point where I want nothing to do with her. How lame.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

I think that it's about time that you gave her a piece of your mind. Hopefully she'll just butt out now. The whole thing is just ridiculous. But honestly, it seems like self-righteous people would be par for the course in the field that you work in.
Coffeehouse is a joke. It isn't a clan at all. It's a non-magic discussion thread for spammers. I'm even reading Admin spam in there. They don't/can't participate in any of the clan contests so why aren't they just moved to a different area on the boards. It also seems that conversations are bleeding over from the Gaymers threads into the coffee house. What the hell is going on with these stupid people??!!?
Yeah, kinda like the old Testing Grounds. Total useless spam from 13 year olds with bad attitudes.
Chris, I'd be so mad if I had to work with someone like that. Why the hell shouldn't you be able to sleep in the car? You're not paid to do work while driving! Get some rest so you can be more alert when you're actually doing work! Geez.
@Tanthalas: I will have to respectfully disagree with you as far as the follow:
Quote from Tanthalas »
That's probably true to an extent, but it really shouldn't have any more impact than most normal clans, to be honest. I'd like to think that enough of the Coffeehouse are sensible and mature enough to resist any "I know that person so they must be the best!" voting that it ends up just acting like any other clan.
I think that this is exactly what is occuring, and this is borne out by the fact that people voting for Wamyc aren't even posting their vote or discussing, they're just voting and then running off.
Hey, it's not that bad. Yeah, there is some borderline spam in there, but most of the time the level of discourse is a bit higher. Try to focus on the positive, and we'll all be happier (and some day I'll learn to accept my own advice).
Never been in there... in fact I didn't even know it existed. I'm just reiterating what Nick said about it.
Brian...I'm sorry the Life // Death were lacking in count...:( I coulda swore I had 4x in there. I figured I'd send an extra Guay foil rare for you since I'm a screw up when it comes to sending things out. Sometimes I'm right on and other times I can't get my head out of my arse! I'm glad they arrived though.....happy to see they made it across several ponds.
I've been trying to keep up with what is going on with the whole silly overclan thing and I think the people in the Coffeehouse misinterpreted my post completely. I'm not going to post in there agin...as is seems that if you don't love trannys or praise the cookies they hate you right off the bat! I have nothing against trannys....if your personal choice guides you to wearing clothes of all genders, so be it. Good for you for having the courage and self pride to express yourself as you see fit.
To elaborate my thoughts...for those of you from the coffeehouse that have decided to read this thread because one of your own has posted here.....I feel that the reason people come to the clan forum is to read what is going on for one...but to post in your clan thread and remain active with the clan you're involved with. To have an overclan in here with all of the other clans detracts from the purpose of entering this part of the forum. Then you are drawn away from your own clan and you go to the coffeehouse to see what kinda silly drama or post has come since you were last there. Since you get involved with this thread you then lose track of your own clan and participate less in their activities. I just think that it isn't a clan and doesn't belong in this part if the forum.
As for my clan...I don't go through ebay or craigslist to get a Wii because they all come bundled with stupid crap and I can't get anything for less than $425. I can't afford to spend that much this year so I just want a system and the pieces that come with it.
Any help with one at retail price ($249) plus tax and shipping would be great!

So, forum drama. I don't really dig it so much. Reminds me too much of, well, too many things, involving entirely too many people.
In completely unrelated news, tonight is my Legacy tournament night. I love having a weekly Legacy event, for five dollars. I'm tweaking my 4c Landstill, and seeing how it does. My sideboard is what most needed work, and it will be worked. Basically Goblins outraced my ability to stabilize my manabase, everything else I could handle. I am also upping to three Nantuko Monastary, because I was never unhappy to have it, especially with the use of LftL... playing a very functional control deck and fairly quickly being able to beat someones face with a 4/4 first strike is pretty alright, turns out.
I wish I had the cards for Legacy. The format is so open. I miss the classics......*dream sequence*
I'll halt the drama now....no need for it anymore. I'll stick to just needing the Wii as the major drama is my life....with the exception of life, that is....:sneaky:
Good luck in the tourney.....I hope gobo's don't smash you go boom! Never was a big fan of playing goblins....it really is just 22 lightning bolts and a couple of Shocks for flavor. Almost as mindless as affinity.:p

I'm avoiding drama. Since it usually follows me around.
Also, I'm sick. I have some kind of gross flu thing, which sucks.
Went to the Gym last night for orientation. It was good.
I got back from overnight camp yesterday. It SUCKED. We were climbing very steep, rocky hills in the rain with 60kg packs.
@Daggs: I remember hearing about that racism thing. It was pretty disgusting how they did that.
Also sucks about the co-worker. But seriously, you're right. She doesn't have any right to tell you whether to sleep or not. What you should do is that when she does something vaguely annoying have a go at her about that.

I remember when I used to post there, it wasn't the fact that Sakura was a transexual, just the fact that he/she had to tell them about it or reiterate the point in every single post that he/she made. It just got old after a while. I mean, yay, you're a girl. So what?
I has a concert tonight, and school today. So I'll see you all tomorrow.

To elaborate my thoughts...for those of you from the coffeehouse that have decided to read this thread because one of your own has posted here.....I feel that the reason people come to the clan forum is to read what is going on for one...but to post in your clan thread and remain active with the clan you're involved with. To have an overclan in here with all of the other clans detracts from the purpose of entering this part of the forum. Then you are drawn away from your own clan and you go to the coffeehouse to see what kinda silly drama or post has come since you were last there. Since you get involved with this thread you then lose track of your own clan and participate less in their activities. I just think that it isn't a clan and doesn't belong in this part if the forum.
As for my clan...I don't go through ebay or craigslist to get a Wii because they all come bundled with stupid crap and I can't get anything for less than $425. I can't afford to spend that much this year so I just want a system and the pieces that come with it.
Any help with one at retail price ($249) plus tax and shipping would be great!
In completely unrelated news, tonight is my Legacy tournament night. I love having a weekly Legacy event, for five dollars. I'm tweaking my 4c Landstill, and seeing how it does. My sideboard is what most needed work, and it will be worked. Basically Goblins outraced my ability to stabilize my manabase, everything else I could handle. I am also upping to three Nantuko Monastary, because I was never unhappy to have it, especially with the use of LftL... playing a very functional control deck and fairly quickly being able to beat someones face with a 4/4 first strike is pretty alright, turns out.
When you cross my mind you'd best look both ways.
I'll halt the drama now....no need for it anymore. I'll stick to just needing the Wii as the major drama is my life....with the exception of life, that is....:sneaky:
Good luck in the tourney.....I hope gobo's don't smash you go boom! Never was a big fan of playing goblins....it really is just 22 lightning bolts and a couple of Shocks for flavor. Almost as mindless as affinity.:p
Also, I'm sick. I have some kind of gross flu thing, which sucks.
Went to the Gym last night for orientation. It was good.
I got back from overnight camp yesterday. It SUCKED. We were climbing very steep, rocky hills in the rain with 60kg packs.
@Daggs: I remember hearing about that racism thing. It was pretty disgusting how they did that.
Also sucks about the co-worker. But seriously, you're right. She doesn't have any right to tell you whether to sleep or not. What you should do is that when she does something vaguely annoying have a go at her about that.
I remember when I used to post there, it wasn't the fact that Sakura was a transexual, just the fact that he/she had to tell them about it or reiterate the point in every single post that he/she made. It just got old after a while. I mean, yay, you're a girl. So what?
I has a concert tonight, and school today. So I'll see you all tomorrow.
