EBGAYMEN

Today I went to EBGames to try to pick up a copy of Jak and Daxter: Lost Frontier and the girl working there said they had one copy left. “Great!” I said in joy as BestBuy didn’t have any in stock when I went. The girl then proceeds to go to one of the shelves and get the box from there. Turns out they are selling me the “display copy” now. So I said “oh, since it’s opened can I get some kind of discount?” Turns out I can’t. That seems pretty stupid, I am paying FULL price for something that has been opened, handled, and possibly played. I don’t know what they did it before I got there. If I buy the display model of a TV at Best Buy I get like a 15 percent discount, while I am not expecting to get 15% off from a 29.99 dollar game, I do expect to save SOME money.

I understand why they do this, people want to see the box of the game they are buying for some odd reason. But that’s not the only reason, it’s because theft of games is very easy. You just slide it in your pocket and you are done. People are less likely to steal something if it’s an empty case. So if theft is such an issue, why can’t EBGames just do what Best Buy does. Put the game in a large clear container, customers can read the box, and it prevent theft (prevents, doesn’t stop). Another suggestion would be to do what Best Buy does to the new releases here in Canada. They have a card with the game’s front and back cover on it; you take this card to the cashier and they ring it up for you and get it from the storage. Problem solved, you fight theft AND it cuts down on shelf space.

Mac Panic

So I was sitting around at the Devry Institute of Technology and I was minding my own business and pulled out my laptop. This Macfag beside me started trash talking Microsoft after he saw that I was running Windows 7. The conversation went something like this:

Macfag: “Oh Windows 7 sucks, all it does is crash faster now”
Me: “And what do you use?”
Macfag: “I have a Mac, it never fails”
Me: “And what’s so good about it?”
Macfag: “I never get the ‘Blue Screen of Death’”
-This is when some other guy joins me on my argument -
Me & Guy: “Yes, but the Macs also have kernel panics.”
- I then proceed to Google for “OS X Kernel Panic” and I show him the result-
Macfag: “Yeah, but at least it’s not the blue screen of death!”
Guy: “So the colour of the error makes a difference?”
-This is when the Macfag shuts up and goes off to a corner to blog about how beautiful the Mac design is -

And here I am blogging about how retarded the Macfag was, I guess I am not that much different. Anyways this post is dedicated to you Macfag, enjoy!

LETS GO CLUBBING

It’s a fad that’s sweeping the nation. Dance-pop music. You see, the kids these days listen to the DJ music which cause the brain damage in their head, with their beating and their electro synth, so they don’t know what the jazz is all about. Anyways, enough parodying The Simpsons, this issue is serious. It seems “dance” music is becoming more and more popular. It seems that EVERYONE is listening to Lady Gaga and Kid Cudi now, it’s not just the Europeans anymore. This alone would not cause such a rage, but the fact of the matter is that this fad has spawned thousands of 15 year old girls going to all ages clubs and trying to be like their favourite hooker from the music television. 

It’s quite funny to see 15 year olds trying to party like someone who can LEGALLY purchase alcohol. They go out of their way to try and get a fake ID to get into clubs, and to buy booze. Spoiler alert: A fake ID only works if you LOOK of age. Bouncers are not stupid, they see people trying to use fake IDs all the time. You are not the only fucking person in the world who has one. So continuing the story of the night, you are not able to drink at the club so you pre-drink. You go to this club and then you get grinded by 50 guys (then later you get butthurt whenever someone calls you a slut). When you finally get home your parents yell at you for being drunk, you call them idiots and say they’re unfair.

This has been a true story, it happens every weekend. Consult your Facebook newsfeed for more information.

Facebook Creepin’ Is My Hobby

creeper

Facebook is a great tool, it helps us communicate and connect with our friends and coworkers. Unfortunately it is filled with egotistical bitches who over use the term “creeper.” Yes it seems that every man who says “hello” to you on the subway, or holds the door open for you is a “creeper.” These girls go around an think that just because a guy it nice, it means that he wants to rape her. Bitch, have you ever heard of chivalry? You know how you always complain how it doesn’t exist anymore? It is because your ego killed it! Guys are afraid of being nice because they will look like some kind of pedophile or rapist.

I was once on the subway and this girl was taking about how “some creeper kept looking at her and smiling.” I filled with rage right there and I wanted to just start an argument with her right there but I didn’t because I knew I’d be a part of her Facebook status update. Anyways, I wanted to just tell her “the only reason he was smiling at you is because he thought you looked nice.” How does showing a slight bit of affection turn you into a creeper these days? What happened to the days where you had do stalk the woman for 2 years and write your name on her car door?

Another story, I was talking with this one girl (who I knew) and I mentioned something she posted on her Facebook. She then responded “what, do you creep my Facebook?” No, I saw it on my newsfeed and it interested me. Plus, you are posting your information in a public place, why are you so shocked someone read it? So no, I did not “creep” your profile, I just read some fucking information you posted. Shocking isn’t it?
