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

VGA = Very Gullible Advertiser they want to think that the crappy ?1 box that now armour plates the already sealed game makes it worth more so be it, should I bypass it the next time I want to keep a sealed game and just as the Tesco staff member not to open the plastic box the game is in I'll take like that. Worth about the same as what the VGA do imo. Muppet organisation for gullible idiots

Had my car broken into last night. Swines.

I think I left my work phone in there as I can't find it anywhere and it's turned off.
on the plus side, it's a company car and a company phone so it's easy to sort out. Plus I hated that phone.

That could have been a lot worse if it wasn't all company stuff. Only a mere inconvenience as it is
Smashed window or did they break the door open?

How much a Game Boy is on eBay. I only want a DMG and there's none in decent condition for less than ?25..

[Dogg Thang]

DMG...?

[speedlolita]

Classic Game Boy, DMG-01.

Smashed the window and prized away at the frame. Literally couldn't be worse timing though to lose my work phone. I'm about to have a colleague calls diverted to me, as she is leaving and I need to look after her customers.

Sometimes I feel like Solid Snake trying to get to my lecture, carefully planning my route through the leaflet people, hiding behind other people, waiting for the leaflet people to turn around before making a dash for it etc.

Hiding under a box and shuffling forwards a bit when nobody is looking?

Seen an item I've long been hunting for on eBay. Ask the seller a few questions. Express interest, and he puts the price up by ?15, and the shipping up by ?5.

*keeps searching*

Classic Game Boy, DMG-01.

Those things are impossible to keep in decent condition. I had one in a box and it went all yellow and the screen went faint
Chucked it away in the end.

[speedlolita]

I had a perfect condition one last year that I got in a trade for a SCPH-1002.. Stupidly I modded it with a 8MHz crystal and sold it on eBay with the rest of my Game Boys for next to nothing.

Other option is a light but I don't really want to pay ?50 for something I won't use much and will have the paint wear off.



Think I barely got ?30.

Trying to find a gameplay video on YouTube, only to find that every video has some screechy American teenager talking over it. Why do people think that we want to hear them talk over the game? Surely people want to hear the sound of the game itself?

People talking over the gameplay is fine in certain contexts. Like with video reviews, gaming 'shows' (e.g. Retro Core) where you want to hear the opinions of the reviewer. That's fine. But with straight-up gameplay footage, let the game do the talking.

The femoral artery / vein in the top part of my leg.

Best bit of advice I can give you all is do not prod or poke that bad boy. It now feels like someone's given me a full on kicking in the groin and won't stop aching

[hide]And no, I wasn't up to anything naughty to be messing around there before you say it! [/hide]

Why were you poking around there?

Checking for lumps...

That's definitely more info than you wanted, but anything else but the truth would have just made it sound well dodgy
