I hope everyone has a good rest of the day as well! (Or tomorrow, depending on your region). My day has been average, the afternoon has been sorta slow though.
my password is "ogo79 is not handsome"
theres no way anyone is gonna think about using that one!
now...heres a little something...
i thought i got the end of a q tip cotton part stuck in my ear for like 3 days.
after those 3 days i did it again in the other ear.
how does that happen?
this is the part where i mention i have 2 ears.
so i take me and both of my ears to the doctor.
this guy was a total jerk.
i told him what happened and he said "it clearly says on the box do not insert q tips in ears"
to make this short reading, he slid that same sentence in 5 more times throughout the conversation.
i told him apparently im not the only one this has happened to because its everywhere on the internet and its quite the common accident.
he tells me "yes there are others that cant follow directions"
you cannot imagine how pissed he was making me.
i wanted to stab him in the eyes with something sharp...something sharp he had sitting besides him.
in the end he ends up finding no cotton stuck in either of my ears. i own 2 of them
i asked where the hell did the cotton go then because it didnt fall on the floor, i cant find it anywhere and there was cotton on the ends before i put it in my ears. the cotton was never found.
if yer reading this mr doctor i wish you eternal and infinite dutch ovens.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
The "M" letter on Mario's cap stands for melatonin. He suffers from insomnia and has to take it to sleep well.
The "L" on Luigi's cap stands for lasagna.
This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
I feel the need to rant about something completely insignificant so I figured this would be the best place to do it.
I've been pretty addicted to buying Gamecube and Nintendo DS games on eBay recently and there's been a few things that have been bugging me.
1. Finding a listing that includes the original game manual is like finding a needle in a haystack. I understand why some people get rid of their game cases. It's not something I would do, but I know some people would rather save the space. But why are there so many cases with no manuals out there? If you're keeping the game case, where does the manual go? Do people just take it out and throw it away? It's not like it takes up any extra space, it just sits there nicely in the game case. I can see maybe a kid taking out the manual at some point and forgetting to put it back in and losing it, but it surprises me how uncommon it is to find a game that includes the case and manual.
2. Auctions. Sellers seem to either not know how to price old games or just want to milk as much money as possible out of them, so 90% of listings for old games are auctions. I hate the auctioning system on eBay. it's impossible to get a fair deal on a game that way. If there's an auction where the game is selling for even $10 less than it's typical value, a big seller will swoop in and bid higher than you within the last 2 seconds of the listing so they can sell it for a higher price.
3. Sellers who include the "or best offer" option on their listing but actually have no intention on lowering the price. There have been times where I'd offer $50 on a $55 game and the seller declines the offer, saying they aren't willing to go that low. If you aren't willing to drop $5 then why even give the option to offer a lower price than the listing?
4. Shipping and import fees. I'm from Canada so often I have to buy from other countries which often bumps up the shipping fee and has an import fee attached to it, but the US seems to be the worst when it comes to prices. I've ordered plenty of things from Japan and Europe off of eBay and the shipping fees are generally pretty cheap, but shipping fees from the US usually ranges from $25-$50. I'm pretty convinced that sellers pocket some of that money, because there's no way shipping is going to cost $50 for one seller but $10 for another for the exact same game coming from the same state.
@YummyHappyPills: Having played it not too horribly long ago for the first time...Might I suggest Prime 1? That's up to you, of course.
@Xaldin: I haven't dealt with ebay and hope to completely avoid it, but I can sympathize a little with the weird auction prices. I've recently decided to sell my Wii Guitar Hero games and have been trying to price them out (plus the guitar). That's one of the things I hope to sit down and focus on this weekend.
@Late: Some of those look like they're pure gold. I'll get into them later....And wonder at the internet.
