Little Things that Irk You 4Ever

[kryss]

Patch killed my US access again. Gah, time to find another IP address...

Internet woes. Speeds have been half or less of their usual. Tested everything an no issues, malware traffic hogging at my end but provider says its all fine at theirs too. Run two things at once and it KO's completely. Very annoying

[The Moleman]

Looked at that Saturn on the 'Shocking eBay' thread... What absolutely boils my piss is eBay's complete disinterest in removing fraudulent items from sale. People blatantly selling copied CDRs as original games ect, the amount of copied GBA and DS carts on eBay is truly shocking...

Some git reversed in to my car last night and drove off, was parked up in a side street for 90 minutes while went for an Indian, two nice dents, and one has broken the paint so will need repairing ASAP, obviously they drove off without leaving any details and won't be worth claiming on the insurance so will be paid for out of my pocket.

But yet they have the inclination to stop a Dreamcast auction if DC-X is included among a stack of legitimate games; that's happened to me twice!

This irks me and disappoints me in equal measure. Bought three Famicom disk games off Yamatoku. Bit expensive, for me, but worth it, seeing as they're classics: Castlevania, Zelda, and Mario 2. After I won them, I realised the auction lists them as unconfirmed. Whatever, it's Yamatoku, I'm sure they're fine.

Just got them.

Castlevania isn't Castlevania. It's Moeru Twinbee. Or so the stickers on it would have me believe. Actually, it's Block Kuzushi. ****!

Zelda isn't Zelda, it's Kid Icarus. No matter, I wanted that in my collection as well. Except it isn't Kid Icarus, it's Zelda 2. I hate Zelda 2! ****!

Mario 2 is... Mario 2. But on the other side, there's Golf! ****!

I've learnt my lesson: no more buying unconfirmed FDS games, they could be anything. Who the hell would even overwrite these great games with this crap anyway? Kids in the 80s knew nothing.

The bright side though is that I now have good condition boxes, instructions etc for Zelda and Castlevania, complete with stickers, even. There's a guy here in Taiwan who sells loose disks quite cheap, so I'll probably complete them by buying from him

Went from 6.5 to 0.5 mb for me last night. Fecking annoyed with it.

[Neon Ignition]

Pretty much the same, this morning it bottomed at 0.98mps but averaged 2mps. Looked at everything now, seems like I'll just have to wait it out. A long wait though, my download of Shadow or Mordor says it'll be done in 37 hours

Don't know which provider you're talking about, but EE's 3G & 4G service of late has been real shoddy, just so slow especially over 3G on missues phone last couple of weeks, bordering on unusable half the time.

[nakamura]

3G on EE is utterly appalling. It has been since they launched 4G fully.

[shaffy_oppa]

When I was with EE my iPhone would become an ipod touch when I entered a no 4G zone. The 3G sign was there but Internet wouldn't work nor could I make or recieve calls or texts.

Virginmedia home connection. Mobile wise I'm on 4G EE, its decent but you need to keep Hola waiting in the wings as EE keep messing with it, Hola effectively overrides them

Our Virginmedia home internet has also been very iffy, speed wise, today. It was crawling this morning, back up to full speed by lunch time, and right now we're getting about half the speed we should. It's been quite flakey since we upgraded to the 152mbps service and they gave us a new modem; we've needed to turn it off and on again to sort out the connection quite a lot.

The previous modem was rock solid and we only had to restart it a few times in all the years we had it.

Heard all sorts of issues related to Superhub 2 if thats what your on now. Naff city centre connections means I can't even get onto hub 1, though a drop from my already slow speed has a hell of an impact. Hopefully it'll clear up soon

Asus RT-N56U is a 5000% improvement over the poor excuse that the super hub 2 is, its been running a month and i haven't had to touch it once.
