The issue is that I expect my books to arrive relatively undamaged (small dents here and there I'm fine with -- such was the case with my Alice: Madness Returns art book) and The Hobbit was not the first unfortunate instance.
Fair enough. Given their prices and their willingness to refund, they would still be my first choice.
I would kill for an art book by Bagel. There's probably a few and they're probably easy to come by, but it's never a high enough priority that I actually bother looking myself.

I sure hope Hungry Jacks are going to fucking go bankrupt soon. Useless fucks. Why do I keep giving them a chance not to be fucking awful? I guess it is mainly my fault.
One place I rented back in Geelong had an issue with a stickyfingered postie, had to get quite a few refunds there.Perhaps my local postie is just a misanthropic prick.
So expensive though! $50 plus shipping at Double Fine, wish they had free postage!
I'll happily return to using BD on a regular basis if The Art of Portal 2 arrives in a satisfactory condition.
Edit: ...in 217+ days. Apparently the book didn't make its original release date.
But they're rad, because of this:
Especially because he only ordered a sticker, but got this as well:

I'm thinking the same thing, but I can't seem to can't find any word from Dark House on the matter... and of course Valve never talks about anything.
217 days from now would put its release at ~mid-November, though -- maybe it comes with Half-Life 3!reptilescorpio

Not signed though!

While there isn't an Amazon page I would take it with a grain of salt. The no show on Dark Horse pages is an even worse sign. It will pop up again though, even if it happens once the deal with Dark Horse lapses and Valve have to do it themselves. There is plenty of money to be made with it.
I only like one HJ burger, the bacon double deluxe. It used to come wrapped in paper in that's where the magic happened, everything kind of steamed and congealed together into one solid lump of amazing greasiness. Now they've started putting it in a cardboard box and it just sucks. What's with that?

WHERE WILL YOUR INSANITY STOP?!?
I've been saying for what feels like forever that Valve should have Raising the Bar occasionally reprinted for sale via the Valve Store. Come on, Gabe, get it to it already!

Gotta keep that Raising The Bar money in case hats suddenly lose popularity and in-game beards don't take off as expected!
And yeah it was all too dry and bland. I remember getting drunk back in the day and eating it because it was greasy and super sized so it soaked up all the alcohol. This new version is fucking lame!
Also cold onion rings taste like shit.
Biggest pack of cunts we dealt with. In the end told them we weren't going back and they can get fucked, we will go to a doctor who has more experience than '18 years of child rearing'.
Cunts. On the same level as witch doctors, count yourself lucky they didn't recommend leaches to cure cradle cap.
Yeah that is what I got. It is like 2/3 the size of a Quarter Pounder with minimal greens and a bit of bacon the size of a cookie.

nvm
In-game beards, you say? I think Valve has just found its microtransactional goldmine for Half-Life 3's competitive multiplayer!

A midwife, I'm thinking. They're a strange lot, and a mixed bag. Some of them are responsible medical professionals with modern scientific knowledge and who exercise sound judgement. Some however appear to be half nurse, half hippy/new age/homeopath/glutard/old wives tale peddler/breast feeding fundamentalist.

PSA KMart clearing more shit out.
PSMove Steering Wheel is $19
Ghost Recon, Tin Tin & RE Mercs on 3DS are $10
Yoostar on 360 is $3.
Someone who is there to give you pointers about being a parent and what is going on with your child at that point. They don't need/get any training aside from how to measure height and weight. The ones we got treat us like we were destroying our son's soul by bottle feeding. Doesn't help I'm not religious either. Made the wife feel like a piece of shit at our lowest point in our lives in terms of ability to cope with the situation we were in.
At least the Mothers Groups are slightly better, if you cut through the lies and showmanship.

Because their onion rings are ah-mahhhzing.
In what 'burb? Just curious.
But fresh ones are amazeballs. HJ's should just ditch pretty much everything and just sell onion rings. Drive up to the window, only need to specify "small", "medium", "large" or "fill 'er up"... and bingo.
Always swap fries for onion rings. Always.
The world will never be the same.
So true.....Man I feel like having onion rings now
Yep

Whaaaat. The whopper sauce is amazing! Its the best drunk food ever. Especially if you put the chips inside the burger.
I received a textbook from them last week. Condition was fine, not wear and tear from the postage. They used an envelope with bubble wrap inside. I think its probably just luck though, some packages are not handled as carefully as others.

Belmont. South Eastern side. When I was on the western side of the highway that dude was okay lol
Must have been too close to Grovedale
TOO BAD THEY WERE FUCKING COLD ONCE THEY HANDED THEM TO ME
Rookie mistake by me, got the bacon burger instead. Ended up with 1/6 of a rasher in it anyway

Give them straight back and ask for hot ones. Don't put up with their bullshit.
Their burgers are pretty ordinary, best off going to a fish & chip shop and getting a burger with the lot there. Cheaper, tastier and way more filling.

Yeah, fast food is actually ridiculously expensive. I could eat twice as much for half the price buying sushi rolls or curry.
Never get bacon in fast food. They use crappy cuts and microwave them :/

On that note of custom creations from fast food joints, there was (maybe is?) nothing better than a cheeseburger with just meat and cheese, with that extra slice of Don bacon. Not the crappy bacon you get with everything else, just the good stuff. May have been doable with a 1/4 pounder as well, but I remember it most fondly with the cheeseburger as the base.
So fucking good.
This right here. This guy knows how to handle his shit.

It was drive thru so I didn't check! Was meant to be in and out quick. I live like 5 minutes away so I didn't want to spend another 10 minutes driving and then arguing.
Never again.
Should have gotten another kebab for lower cost
Yeah I agree with that. Would KILL for a Hi Sushi here.
McDonalds bacon is great! Their burgers have been fantastic the last few years. That current Texas burger is pretty good. We really only go there once a fortnight or so to try out the special burgers when the little guy deserves a naughty treat.

To ease the pain.

I've been stung in the drive thru before. I learnt to always stop and check before exiting, it's common for you to get the wrong order, items missing or something wrong with it (like your cold rings). Only takes a minute and it's worth the effort.
Can't go wrong with a kebab.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I can't remember the last time I had the likes of McDonalds, KFC, or Hungry Jacks. KFC probably some time in the last six months while I was in Bendigo with my parents. McDonalds not since I moved out of Hawthorn about three years ago. Hungry Jacks I've had like three times in my life.
But to balance the scales, I get fish and chips, or just chips, quite a lot. Once a week maybe. A couple of dollars worth of chips is just soooo gooood, especially on the weekend when housemates are around and usually hung over.
I spend way too much on Indian. But it's their fault for making delicious food.

Same for me. Indian and Thai food, goddamn.
Unlocking new concept art throughout the early release ARG made it seem like it was Christmas every day. EA's whining may have soured the final leg of it, but everything up to that point was brilliant.
Good to hear. I can't say any of my previous orders were shipped with bubble wrap. In lieu of gorgeous Valve art, I think I'll soon order How I Live Now, as the film adaptation should be releasing towards the end of the year.
Oh god, TWO hashbrowns. Even better.
Juice by default as Maccas coffee is fresh diarrhoea.
