Does anyone here use OzGameShop? I (foolishly?) bought Mortal Kombat from them, and it is now past their expected delivery time. They say 4-12 business days on their website and I'm up to day 13 or 14.

Perhaps Customs snagged it? :(

I've bought a heap of games off them. Generally it's 7 or 8 days for most games, although I had it take 14 or 15 days for a pre-order once (around the time of the ash cloud problems in Europe). Those times are to Sydney, there might be an extra day or two to other parts of Australia.

I use them a lot, but they are slow. I've had a few packages take 2-3 weeks, email them about it, they were pretty good when I had a concern.

Edit: see you already did that. Never mind then.

I buy from them semi-regularly, and a fortnight or so doesn't sound too far out (never looked at what their site actually says re: delivery times). I'd wait a few more days before getting concerned.

I like to get my money's worth out of a haircut. I grow it out over about a year and then get it cut all off. The hairdressers must hate me and then when I get up I nearly slip over due to the sheer volume of hair on the floor :p

Also the missus hates it when I get all my blonde curls cut off.

Plenty here use OzGameShop and none have had any major problems except slow deliveries. It's par for the course. An eight day delivery is good, but three weeks not uncommon.

Others have bought the same game from them and had it arrive.

I had my first bad experience with OzGameShop recently.

My copy of Child Of Eden had a cracked case. I brought it up with them and got a reply saying a replacement case was being sent out.

Two weeks later I got a case in the mail for an original Xbox game. Don't they get it?

I pay $16 for my short back and sides every couple of months.

I get it done in this awesome old school barbershop in Chatswood. All the guys are old Italians and whenever I go in they're all talking about the soccer and stuff.

Heard some, um, provocative comments about the Chatswood locals, though. Those who know Chatswood should gather my meaning ._.

Haha this is pretty much my exact routine, except I am in Melbourne and the Barbershop guys are Greek.

i dont understand them, you get cases of people getting the same game. it ships the same day and they can be next door neighbours yet there will be a month between deliveries. but yeah, mine usually take a month to get here.

The orientation/induction day was good. Lots of info was said about the company and interns' experiences and such. Good fun.

Was this said friend male or female...?

In other news, copying files between HDDs is time consuming. 280GB of Steam games took a looooong time.

So can anyone help me out with this Basically I'm looking for a new external HDD and not sure whether I should get a pre-made eSATA drive and enclosure or buy my own drive and enclosure. Where would I buy them online?

You want a permanent external hdd or just one you can access from time to time?

There really isn't much of a difference i guess between buying a pre-made or going your own. Your own would offer some more flexibility and options, It could be a few bucks cheaper as well.

If you intend to use multiple drives and only want to access data from time to time then just grab a docking station.

yeah i'd like just one permanent external hdd. I was just curious if it would be much cheaper to buy my own hard drive and enclosure/dock, and if it was where to buy them from online.

Practice, practice, practice. Do life drawing as much as possible. If you're on the train every day, draw people on the train. Draw people at work or around the office during your lunch break. Eventually you'll pick up on patterns or key expressions of faces, or particular extensions of arms, a walk pose etc that work well as a single image that you can pull out from memory, modify or combine when needed.

Which reminds me, I have life drawing class today, good thing I got today's comic out this morning on time :/ It's good to do and it's awfully nice of work to put it on but after an hour I get so bored :/

Pretty much.

I got a $40 cut from some giggling bimbo who wouldn't shut up and tried to sell me heaps of products. It was fucked up.

Hence my resolution to give barbers my custom.

Constant growth is a requirement in this day and age.

I hate it.




Meanwhile, today marks 1 year exactly since my son was 'conceived'. Champagne anyone? :p
