Nitro Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I saw both "Firefly" and "Enterprise" for the first time ever last weekend, and discovered my girlfriend's a closet Trekkie. I didn't see enough of Enterprise to decide whether or not I liked it, but Firefly's ruttin' amazing!!! How could they cancel it, and why couldn't I have discovered it a month ago so I could've seen the movie in theaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ok, now to post about City of Villains.... and how stupid Best Buy is. Now, I pre-ordered City of Villains from Best Buy, with every intention of buying the retail box from them, with the MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BEST BUY BUCKS FROM WORK. (Like 20 dollars worth, man, it's INSANE) I'd spend, what, max 20 bucks on a new MMO that is basically a standalone expansion to the City of Heroes. Neat. Now, the Pre-Order folks got a 2 day jump start on the rest of the public, because we're SPECIAL, but after that, we need to enter the retail serial to keep playing. so getting the retail box on time would be something I consider, well, VERY IMPORTANT. I walk into Best Buy... and.... see... the pre-order boxes still out... what. the. <censored>. So I find the nearest employee and begin to unload minor fury on him, because I know, well, act a bit miffed, and I can get a manager. Those managers get paid to be yelled at. Manager arrives, furry ensues. Words are exchanged, the fact that EVERYOTHER GAME RETAILER IS SELLING THE RETAIL BOX IS STRESSED. In fact, to avoid interupption in pre-order to retail service, NCsoft LET EB games, Gamestop, and others, to sell the game THAT WEEKEND, so come monday, I can keep enjoying City of Villains. They have it, oh, yes they do, but thier corperation decided it'd be a grand idea to keep it locked out of the system so it can't be rung in until 11/2/05. I'm sorry BB, you just lost a buncha money. So I refunded my pre-order, and got Eps. III. for $8.90. (4 dollar refund, 3 dollars in BB bucks, really cheap) Then I went to Gamestop, picked up my retail box, and played CoV while watching Eps. III. Overall, good day. Except Best Buy's management are a buncha retarded monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Best buy gave me grief last time I tried to spend any of those Best Buy Bucks from McDonald's. It was like they had never seen such a thing before, and only let me use one of the coupons towards my purchase, whereas I thought you could put them all together to get a nice chunk o' money off. Then there was a lot of paperwork that had to be filled out for using them that kept me there longer than I ever expected. That's really no way to run a promotion. Taking today off, and I'm going to go buy the Ep. III DVD. (It probably won't be at Best Buy, though.) That,.. and binging on a tub of left-over Halloween candy. (Note to self: You don't have to buy EVERYTHING in wholesale-club quantities.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 wow cracken, u must be like the 5th person on lf that's said something bad about best buy's service. I prefer circuit city myself. XD uh....today sucked. went to pizza hut, cut onions, caught a massive headache that i had the whole day, going into walmart was like walking into the line of fire. hearing babies scream, having people want their orders of film 5 minutes early...then having to close w/someone that ignores the customers and gets me in trouble for it. -_- i especially HATE daylight savings ****. like 10 people came with like 2+ films each between 7 and 8 pm, when i'm trying to pre-close, and it just sucked. i'm trying to learn more maintenance stuff so i can get a freakin promotion/raise, and having a headache place all that other crap just pissed me off. i've had a few close calls w/shouting at the customers, particularly the deaf ones, u see, i'm a quiet person, i only speak loud when i'm very pissed off or very hyper. -_- the other day i like gave away a bunch of pics cause this stupid bitch complained that they weren't ready as promised, so i pretty much said 'HELL WITH IT' walked over and wrote 'NC' on the damn upc, just so i wouldn't have to waste time arguing over it. sometimes i just wish i wasn't sharing an apartment, then i could go just say hell with it and go right back to the military... tomorrow morning i'm going to go hunting since i don't work at pizza hut.

Nute Gunray Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Circuit City is a worse establishment than Best Buy, which says a lot. I buy all my electronics out of vans and the trunks of luxry cars. I know genuine Sorny and Panafonics when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well... that was fun. Explanation: I just spent the last 2 hours or so in Safe-Mode hell. I thought my main computer had bought it for good. For some reason, I had the desire to play a quick round of Jedi Academy. When I went to start it the computer just stopped. When it rebooted it wouldn't come up to Windows. Just got to a black screen and held there, with the hard drive just clicking. Long story short: Finally got Safe-Mode to work. Reconfigured vid drivers, and now I'm back. Must be a bad driver release... although it's the latest official nVidia WHQL driver. I'll have to roll back a version or 2, just to be safe. Or try a newer Beta. In the morning. I'm way too tired to tackle it now. Not exactly how I planned to spend my Saturday night. And all I wanted was to swing a Lightsaber around for a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikhnaton Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 just played the XWA battle with the Hurrim and the cargo transporters. Kicked its ass and then all of a sudden, one of the MOB transports just shows up and gets destroyed even though there were no enemy fighters around. Pissed me off. stupid game.

Rogue15 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 well i called off a few hours of work, was trying to call off completely, but they made me call 3 people, basically waking them up and asking if they wanted to work on a sunday....of course they didn't, so i called back and said 'i'll be in between 11 and 12' i came in at like 11:40. XD good timing. washed dishes most of that job, then headed to walmart and did regular stuff there...got back at 8 something... played splinter cell chaos theory for an hour til my sister got back. my buddy that lives down w/my landlords got arrested. he was on probation for dui, and ended up having a drink and being a passenger i guess or something. dunno when he gets out, it's gonna be lonely on tuesdays for me til he gets out. yesterday, i got 2 of the newest Seether albums cause i was at circuit city. XD tonight at walmart i bought one of the scream masks, it was on sale at like 75% off so i only payed like $1.30 for it. tomorrow morning i'm going to scare the **** out of my sister w/it combined w/the squirrel call. XD she's prolly gonna kill me, but it will so be worth it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Did a huge pile of laundry yesterday. Finished watching all the "Behind the Scenes" stuff on the Ep. III disc. Watched the movie about 5 times now, if you count the time with the commentary track. A few things that I've picked up on: The first scene from the trailer, with the Emperor's shuttle being escorted by the 2 proto-Ties, is nowhere to be seen in the movie. I thought I remembered seeing it in the theater, after Vader is rescued from the lava pit, but on the DVD it goes right to the shuttle landing on the medical center platform. What happened there? Just my imagination? How does Yoda know Anakin is now called "Darth Vader"? (The Jedi Temple security tape scene.) I guess it's just the Force... I'm not really sure why Darth Vader needs a breathing apparatus in the suit. His skin was severely burned, but he seems to be breathing just fine in all the scenes after being burned. Medical technology in the Star Wars universe seems a bit inconsistent anyway... They can clone an entire army of super-soldiers, but they've never heard of a skin graft or re-attaching a severed limb? Seems to me, in a universe where people are constantly at war, shooting at each other with plasma bolts, and chopping bits of each other off with laser swords that both of those things would be in fairly high demand, and therefore very advanced technologies.

Nute Gunray Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Lord Vader inhaled various "toxic gases" or some such thing. Plus he broughtly got pretty badly burned in the lungs considering he actually burst into flames and oxygen filled lungs love to burn. I swear, the movie would have been 400% better if, prior to putting a sword through Nute Gunray's face, the exchange had gone: Nute Gunray: Lord Sidious said we'd be left in peace! Darth Vader: He said you'd be left in pieces! Wakka wakka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
