What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Luke]

Smile: Saved up a bit to purchase a few bottles of White Star for our New Years party.

Frown: Moet stopped making White Star in 2009.

Smile: Imperial is supposed to be the same as White Star.

Frown: I just realized I forgot to pick up the groceries while at the store.

Smile: Shenmue II is coming TODAY in time for the New Year

Tick: We got new TR and Shmup club starting up TOMORROW -- time to fill up that Backloggery some

:I went to Goodwill and they had a bunch of good PS1 games.

:I opened up the cases and all of the games were freakin burned copies.

On the bright side I did find an RCA composite cable for 1.25 and a power cord for my Playstation for another dollar.

Frown: UPS left a box with a 3DO in it on my doorstep. I won't be home until tomorrow and it's snow/freezing rain tonight. Hope that shit is wrapped tight.

Smile: The 3DO survived two nights in the harsh Maine winter! What a resilient console!

Frown: I wish I had known it was coming with a 3rd party controller.

Oh SNAP. Sorry to hear that

One of my first ever eBay purchases was 2 NES controllers. There was no picture with the auction. What I got in the mail was two third party controllers. I was upset. I bought two official controllers, and sold the third party ones. Now, I really wish I hadn't. They were pretty cool, they had turbo buttons like a TG controller. I wish I kept them. I search eBay from time to time, but I never see anything quite like it. I haven't seen those exact controllers since.

Anyways, my point is, maybe you'll get some official controllers and your third party one will turn out to be a nice spare. Or... it sucks?

In other news, my 3DO broke my remaining absolutely motionless in a dry, clean room for several months.

Ticked: First day of the year and a bunch of threads are full of bullshit instead of their intended topics.

A taste of things to come.

It's not a bad controller, I will keep it. This is what it looks like, for reference:

I just wish sellers would tell you these things. Like instead of "comes with console, AV cables, and controller" how about "comes with console, AV cables, and third-party controller". Not that hard to add those words, I still would have probably bought it either way, it would just be nice to know ahead of time.
