What the fucking fuck! Power out overhead and stuck on the streetcar. Man goddammit!!
At least you're not stuck on the SRT.
Is it because of the cold?

Exactly this. LOOOOOOL they didn't mention it was a goddamn bus that caused it. GG TTC.
You can try Peter's New Jobs. It's basically a curated list of postings in the GTA. It's organized pretty nicely and it's sent daily. It's free for a month then it costs a fee. If you want, I can forward you an example since I'm still on the list.
Went to A&C Games on boxing day, bought a used PS2. Wrong AV cable. Exchanged that. Finally able to test the memory card I bought to discover it's dead. Exchanged that.
Today, playing a used copy of Time Crisis 2 I also bought, I discovered that it freezes half way through the game. Look at the disc, it's been buffed pretty heavily. Going back to exchange that today.
I've had such a brutal experience with these guys that I don't know if I'll go back again. They're really nice but I can't justify losing anymore time exchanging stuff that doesn't work properly when it's sold.

Could you not test it there...? >:
If I got something that old and if they could test it on the spot, I'd do it for sure.
Wish you'd bought my PS2. It's just retiring in my closet. Though I can't even guarantee it works now since it's been there so long.
I'm pretty sure they allow testing of games in-store.
I've stuck with LastGen on College for my used stuff. Haven't had an issue so far.
My GF and I are looking into buying a house in the summer/fall of next year, but I don't think we'll have enough the comfortably buy the place, renovate, and get all of the furniture.
What are some good rental option out there? Any other recos? I'm living at home at them moment and looking to move out. We both currently live in the west end and work downtown.

Well PS2 is more like last last gen.
You could try for a condo since there are a bunch coming up.
Like, an actual detached house is what you're hoping for? Because if you'r even remotely able to afford one, you'll comfortably be able to purchase a 2 bedroom condo on the west end (I love Humber Bay <3) then sell and buy a house in a few years when you're in a better place for that.
We're looking at one and two bedroom condos on the west end (ie; west of Trinity Bellwoods, but east of the Humber Loop, hopefully). We will never be able to afford a detached house in the GTA and that's okay.
Yeah, they have stations setup to test games. I'm certain you could go over cables and other stuff too. Although as soultron notes, multiple failures means they're probably not bothering to check these themselves, which raises red flags. Glad I'm out of retro game collecting now. I just go in for the memorabilia.
A semi-detached or even a townhouse. We're not too far away from being able to do it, it's just that there's all of this additional money that would have to go into it to make it work. So we'd be on instant noodles and rice for a while.
I haven't actually considered Humber Bay area or Trinity, thanks!

Mix both rice and instant noodles. D:
The issue I had with Time Crisis 2 was half-way through the game, it's not really like I'd expect them to test it that long, to be fair. The memory card I don't know how they let that one into their inventory, really.
Anyhow, just had a streak of bad luck with them. I managed to get a better copy of TC2 that works really well and is in much better condition, so that's a definite silver lining!

If I'm feeling better by tonight then I might take a trip downtown for NYE. I haven't done it in years and am pretty bored.
I've never been in the city for NYE, are there any good places to hit up that aren't people just standing around outside?

It's usually the one day people give themselves free licence to go shit faced without guilt (until the next morning anyways)..
Any of you guys work in GIS/remote sensing related fields?
I am finishing my Master's at Queen's in the fall and want to get a job back to Toronto when I'm done. Just thinking about potential companies etc to look for when I start the job search.
Also thinking about PhD but the deadlines are late January and I dunno if I want to commit myself to 5 more years of school justttt yet

2017 has to be better than 2016. Plus it's my year too (year of the rooster) so all good stuff is due to me.

All bad stuff is due to fuzzy...

Well, supposedly alpha is going to make the meet up thread for January. If the Blue Jackets can win 15 in a row, we can go for 13 in a row for meet ups.

Happy New Year 6ixGAF!
Been kind of laughing at locals over here complaining about the bitter cold two days ago(it was fucking only 3-4C... lol), and then about how unusually warm it got today(it was 10 C), which made me think about home and the ongoing struggle between #TeamCold Vs. #TeamWarm.
My family told me it snowed a couple days after I left(it was raining hard on Boxing Day when I left), and there was a little freezing rain. But it warms my heart to think that it is always somehow worse in Montreal.
Hope you all are doing well.

You can't go poor from just diet cokes
;D
It was a bit chilly during the week last week though it's been pretty ok the past few days. Would still prefer warmer though we're going to get it and then a bunch of rain
