  1. It's not video game related, but recently my wife bought something with outrageous S&H. She does quite alot of selling on various auction sites, so she decided that she should purchase a scale, so that she would be able to more accurately know how much to charge for S&H, she being one of the few honest people left doesn't charge more than what she should. So, after checking a couple stores, and even the ones they sell at the post office, the cheapest one was going to run her about 40 dollars for a scale that would measure up to 20 ounces. On ebay, however, she found one being offered by a seller for 2 dollars that measured up to 35 ounces, the catch, he wanted 20 dollars for S&H. She decided that paying the inflated S&H would still save her money than buying one at the store. The thing that pissed me off about this, is that not only did she recieve the wrong color, she bought a black one and got a white one, that on the package where the post office marks how much the package cost to ship, it showed the guy only had to pay 7 bucks for S&H, so he got to pocket 13 bucks. That's too much of an overcharge, and the sole reason thay do it is because ebay takes a percentage of your selling price, but you get to keep all of the shipping money.
  2. Bump- So the new deception came out the first week of November, and as big as a fan as I was of this series, it's hard for me to recomend this game to anyone as more than a rental. Sigh, I might just get back to writing and submit a column about it.
  3. As to what would this entail? I love sci-fi , but i hesitate to call myself harcore for all the asssumptions it would entail.
  4. God how I hated that camera, horrible, horrible camera. I don't know, there were to many things, maybe just minor gripes, that I felt kept this game from truly being as great as it should have been. I still score it at 8 out of 10.
  5. How does 2 un-dead villians vs. a human make sense? I thought the original plan was for Jason vs. Freddy vs. Ash
  6. As much as I loved this game, it still bothers me how great it could have been.
  7. *Spoiler* So, Yoda, have you unlocked the Queen's Sword? One of the other ties to Ico.
  8. I agree with the one's already mentioned, and I'll add in Fooly Cooly
  9. Kojima said in the past that Solid 2 was going to be his last game, then he said Solid 3 was going to be his last, and now he's back again. I'm pretty sure that as long as Konami offers him the money he'll always be back to do another one, and I have no complaints as every game has been amazing.
  10. I haven't bought anything off ebay in quite awhile, the outrageous shipping and handling some people charge turned me off. Hell, my wife has bought things on there and paid more for S&H then she had to pay for the item. I still go on there once every now and then to look at the prices of a Neo Geo, oh well, livin the dream I suppose...
  11. I will eat my hat if Topher Grace becomes Venom, no matter how much "bulking up" he does, he will never be Eddie Brock.
  12. Spider-Man: Clone Saga will always be the worse story arc in comics in my opinion. Period. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to say, "Hey, I know what the readers will like, how about we tell them that the Spider-Man that they've known and loved for decades isn't really even Spider-Man." The worse part though, was the fact that someone in Marvel thought it was a good idea and okayed it. The clone saga was also poory written, had horrible story elements, and was almost to convoluted fo it's own good. Even without the head-ache inducing ending, it still would have been a horrible storyline.
  13. Bob Rooney was a horrendously underrated character
  14. It been a bit since a question was posted so I'll throw one out there, What television show did George Romero get his start on directing shorts?

    The PSP Thread

    I heard it was just a port of the one released on the dreamcast in Japan, but whatever, I'm still getting it, because I've been a Darkstalker nuthugger since the orignal one. And I'm deffinantly getting one. People that think this isn't going to sell through, I got a bridge to sell you.
  16. The cowbell rules all that has ever been able to be ruled. As big as a Tull fan as I am, I can't deny the greatness of the cowbell.

    Dual Hemi Jeep

    It would just be another show car for a rich person to buyn and would end up never seeing a single second offroad.
  18. Wow, what a contribution to the thread. Then again, it's probably hard for you to type with only one hand.
  19. Got to love the PC multi-cultural society of America. The flag stands for nothing offensive and had nothing to do with racially charged idealogy, but because idiots don't fucking know history, everyone just believes the confederate flag is a white power symbol. And about double standards; there is no doubt in my mind that had this been a latin girl that wanted to wear a dress that was a giant Mexican Flag, the school would probably have applauded her ingenuity.
  20. Actually I like the main title header. However, I liked the old look for the rest of the main page better. I think mixing the new header and the old layout would look nice, atleast that's my two cents.
  21. God damn, this is pissing me off. I know this but I can't think of it right now.
  22. Yeah, Danzig was asked first, as the producers thought with his hieght and muscular build, he'd be perfect.
  23. GTA: SA MK: D Not only our these my recent purchases, they're the only games I bought all year.
