What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Nintendork666]

SMILE: Picked up some really neat VHS tapes at the Salvation Army today.

TICKED OFF: Just after I got done paying the cashier, the lady behind me began to ring up a few stuffed animals. One of them was a Snoopy, and there was another or 2, but one was this Sonic the Hedgehog plush!!!



She was obviously some sort of collector, re-seller, or buying for her kid or something, so I was too embarrassed to intercept her purchase somehow. Man, I really wish I would've at least tried now. I don't know how I missed it... that's what I get for forgetting to dig through the stuffed animal box for once.

If it was at a game store or something, I wouldn't care as much. But the fact that she snagged it for 50 cents, and her behavior within the store while browsing was quite loud & obnoxious makes it sting pretty badly.

It won't matter. I had the original install files for these games. They install, but the ActiveMark DRM will prevent you from playing them unless you know how to crack it.

I'm glad I didn't buy more games from D2D than I did. Of the 53 games I had through them only 22 are available in the new GameFly client, which appears to be the only way to play them now, though I haven't checked to see if all of the 31 missing games use ActiveMark, so it's possible that some of them still work. Either way... fuck.

That's terrible J T. This is the future we have to look forward to.

Aw man, bummer I always make it a point to go though the stuffed critter boxes. Usually I'm on the hunt for an elusive Pokemon plushie. I haven't found one yet, but I have found a Flingsmash plush, an Angry Bird and a Malefacent dragon. Oh, and that gigantic DK plush. Can't forget him. You just never know what you're going to find in those stores.

Ticked: I think my 60GB PS3 is finally shitting the bed. I picked up NBA 2K12 and the court looks like a fucking acid trip.

Smile: Well, at least I have a 40GB PS3 as a back-up.

Ticked: Now I have to update it. And re-download all my PSN stuff. And transfer all my saves. And upgrade the HDD.

Yep, it's a PS3 all right. (don't get me wrong, the 360 is even worse)

Went to a mini toy fair today and picked up some cool diecast cars.

Ticked: sabrage is trolling me.

Sorry to hear that noise. Seems like the phat ass PS3s all have problems eventually.

Smile: Heard a song on the radio and i'm really digging it. "We are young" by Fun. I rarely listen to current gen music, or any music really, but this caught me as I was running through the dial. Like it a lot.

Ticked: My bf hasn't pm'd all day.

Smile Dos: When we went to pick out Flagstone for our new walkway, I saw a really neat looking storage shed on sale. Typically I like to build stuff like this and i've been planning on replacing our current storage shed this spring, among a dozen other projects.

It's this one:


This thing looks really nice and blends with our home nicely. It makes a 3-4 weekend project a 1-weekend project (foundation, and put the kit together), which is absolutely huge. So, I bought it.

Ticked Dos: It wasn't really in the budget, as the walkway has gotten pricier than we planned.
