Ticked: Bought a GBS 8200 from China. The thing is faulty. I upload a clip showing the problem on Youtube. The guy sends me a message saying he can't watch Youtube in his country. What the fuck!?... Looked at the alternatives. Made an account on Youku. Everything works fine, only I don't get the confirmation email. So no uploading for me there. Aargh!... Stupid Chinese stuck up mofos!...

Smile: I dunno, maybe later...

I still remember the time I accidentally bought a bootleg DS game on eBay, the son of a bitch told me it was 100% legal (Which wasn't because GTA: Chinatown Wars would never be rated E for Everyone, the manual wouldn't be a review of the game and the cartridge wouldn't have a T rating) and that he would refund me the money. He only gave me half of my cash :evil: .

Anyways, I wish you luck, those chinese sellers can be a pain in the ass.

It's not necessarily that he's stuck up, its that his government doesn't allow him to view it.

Smile: Taking home a PS1 Namco stick!

Ticked: I can't keep it... I am only testing it out for a friend.

Smile: Woke up to find a new black DSi, Zelda Spirit Tracks, and 1000 Nintendo point card (which I bought Link 'n' Launch and Dark Void Zero with). Thanks dad! :mrgreen:

Ticked: Here in Missouri it's supposed to be 90something degrees today, and humid.

You realize down here in Alabama it's been like this every day since April, right?

Smiled: My girlfriend has started attending my martial arts class. I think it will be very good for her.

Just from one guy to another (and I'm pretty sure I don't even have to say this): Never say that to her. My wife once mentioned she wanted an exercise ball, and when I bought her one, her response was close to "wtf is this for?" (and she is under 100 lbs and thin as a rail).


Smile: The 4th vacation is so close.

Frown: I've been promoting a market basket approach for online sales since day one. Today I get an email pretty much stating "Have you ever thought about selling projects where a customer can buy everything they need in one click?". Um, yeah.

Maybe I'm using too much jargon, but I figured everyone would know what a basket approach is.

No you're right. I was in fact talking about his government. I must say, the seller was very friendly and very polite. He says he's gonna send me another one and wants me to send him back the faulty one once I can confirm the new one is working...

Anyways, just for those interested, here is the link to the little clip I uploaded for him:
