Agreed. They also game the incoming and outgoing inspections. Get someone incompetent to do the incoming report, then a white gloved drill Sargent with OCD and dust phobia to do the outgoing report.

Ugh, I'm coming down with a serious case of nostalgia.
How I long for the days of Mario 64, Goldeneye multi, Metal Gear Solid, FFVII and discovering pal jrpgs, and Sega fucking Rally.
The magic is gone
What a fucking new dawn 90s approach to nostalgia.
It sounds like it belongs on Silent Alarm, I am happy.
Heading to see it the Saturday after it comes out with some Batbro's.
Ausgaf, should I spend 1k and put together my own gaming rig or pay double and let someone else do it? CHOOSE FOR ME.

Valve add another feather to their cap with the acquisition of the awesome dude behind the Splinter Cell trilogy and Chris Remo's favorite three words. Best pickup since Doug Church. I bet he is going to get them started on Half Life 4 while the current team decides on the font for the Episode 3 pre-production banner.

probably unintentionally thinly veiled, smug, "my musical ideology is better than yours" post. In effect no better than music snobs.
Lol! Maybe he should start a kickstarter to fund his comments section.
Or just a URL redirect to stormfront, either way...

When I tell the landlord that none of the lights work the response is, "well you already moved in so it is your problem, lease says that tenant is responsible for all light globes".
Real estate agents hold the same line.
So basically the new tenant gets fucked because the agent/landlord is too lazy to buy new globes for you and take it out of the old tenants bond.
Ideally an agent should also go do their inspection the moment the keys are handed in so they have plenty of time to tell the old tenant what they need to go back and do as well as turn it around as fast as possible for the owner.
Maybe you shouldn't have been so willing to sacrifice our love.
Alright, fine. But there will be blood and nerd tanties.

It seems really really daunting. The worry about fucking it up and losing $1200 worth of your money is pretty strong. Once you actually get into it for the first time it is a huge relief and you wonder why you were shitting yourself.
Has anyone ever given up on a game because you thought it wasn't great only to go back to it much later and start enjoying it?
Because that's what I'm feeling with Borderlands lately. I liked the idea of Borderlands but felt that it was just a bit boring when it came out in 2009. I put 17 hours into the game and had put it aside, never to touch it again. On the weekend I had a craving to play it due to watching someone stream it during the week and have been really enjoying the game a lot more than I initially did. I'm not saying that I think the game is now fantastic but my opinion of the game has changed from "Boring game/More like Borederlands hur hur" to something along the lines of "Enjoyable shooting game to kill some time". Perhaps it's because I'm only playing it in short bursts that I'm enjoying it more, maybe it's the class I'm using or the weapons I have found, I really can't pinpoint why I'm suddenly liking this game I once put into the 'Rubbish' category in my Steam library.
Also, Steam sale in less than 12 hours, get excited!

But Blade Runner!
If anyone here loved the Nintendo 64 they should listen to our latest podcast episode.
http://www.vooks.net/vookcast-episode-64-nintendo-64-memories-project-zero-2-theatrhythm-and-hunger/
Then at least someone would listen to it

Join us on Steam chat. Constant barrages of nostalgia via youtube.
"The king is Two Worlds II" :lol
Speaking of Nostalgia. I was thinking about Forsaken (played it on n64 vooks!, seque!) and was looking at what else the developer did... and they did this RC racing game. Was fun.

When shit goes wrong is what everyone is scared about, really. Not the building. I know this first hand.

360 RRoD failure rate was at something like 15-20% for a while there...

I know it's cliché but 'if I can build a computer, anyone can'. There is certainly a level of satisfaction to actually building something yourself as well.
I have way too many games to play, yet I'm starting to get excited about the Steam Sale. Damn you Gabe!

This has nothing to do with failure rate. If you get an RRoD, your console is fucked and you get it fixed. If your PC starts randomly freezing, you've got a long road of troubleshooting and dealing with vendors ahead.

sadly enough I'll probably still buy it.
Real estate are scum period. The ones that deal with rentals seem to be the worst.
I suppose I'm just used to it, but in most situations it's pretty simple. It's almost always RAM or HDD related, or video card related for artifacting.
There are always going to be more intricate issues, but they're quite rare.
Any good online or walk-in store will have a good RMA system.

We had one particularly nasty one try to bill us $600 in 'dead plant fees' four months after we moved out (the plants were fine when we'd left). Ended up in court with her screaming " *look!* I have a diamond ring worth 25 grand! Why would I need to steal money from you!?" lolol.
I suppose you'd class PCCG as a good online store? Mega had constant freezing that ended up being the fault of the video card, but PCCG refused to accept that it was at fault even after having the system for themselves to test and he ended up buying a new video card from elsewhere. I think it took about six months for him to have a stable system.
Some people might overstate PC problems, but understating them as you're doing is the exact same mistake.

Oh man, this is awesome. So hyped for this sale. Don't really want anything, but it's been long enough coming that I want to be tempted. In other words, I a 50s housewife attitude towards steam sales; I just want to feel wanted.
