Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

I've also seen Gamestation selling new games cheaper than the second hand version, but scattered all over the store so it's easy to get caught out.

The thing is though, the cost of games get lower as the title gets older. If Gamestation (or any other store) were to order in some copies of a two year old game, the price could be as low as 10?, while the game they paid 25? for second-hand will not drop in cost. So if the store is to sell the game at a competetive price, they are likely to lose alot of money. The prices are all managed centrally though, so while the retail price of some second-hand titles might have dropped, there's a good chance the employees simply haven't gotten around to repricing them yet. There are after all hundreds of different titles whose prices can get changed without warning. Hard to keep them 100% up to date.

Fair enough, good points, it's just it seems a bit odd when you see it.

I wonder if they order in many new copies of older stuff though, as anything (360) that isn't a massive selling FPS seems very hard to find except second hand.

It is very annoying when someone adds you to their friends list on Xbox and you have no idea who they are, and nor do they bother to message and say hello. Or explain who they are.

Interesting youtube videos about certain serious areas of interest, which then go on to add stupid dramatic music from some Hollywood film & completely spoil its validity, like this one:

irk of mine .....where the hell do all my socks go got so many odd socks it beggars belief

[toythatkills]

Protip: if you just decide that you really like wearing odd socks, suddenly you'll find that all your socks match!

[eastyy]

yeah but how long before i hurt someone who says for the hundreth time "you know you have odd socks on ? "

[prinnysquad]

Just wear them odd. Anyone who notices is clearly a foot-pervert, and you've every right to tell them so.

[toythatkills]

If people can see your socks, your trousers are too short.

If you're wearing shorts, stop wearing socks

If you're just wearing socks on their own, I don't really want to know.

[prinnysquad]

And what about if you use them as wang gloves? It would explain the excessive number of lost socks.

[toythatkills]

Yeah, it's always better to do it twice at a time so that you can keep track.

WTF? I just tried to sign in to Hotmail and it says "Before you can sign in to Windows Live, you need to create a new password. We recommend creating a strong password to help protect your information."

It doesn't tell me why it's decided to force me to change my password, and I don't want to change my password, and yet I can't do anything until I do it. FFS. Why?

Seems there was a flaw found and abused.

There's still Hotmail? I'm sure there's a Geocities page that can talk you through the problem there.

Yawn.
