I have no sympathy for Goodwill. Yes, the prices are cheap, but Goodwill pays absolutely nothing for their products, the CEO is a millionaire, and despite popular perception, they are not a charity. Their employment-training is questionable, at best, and they were known to give disabled employees less than minimum wage. I refuse to ever give anything to them, instead giving to local charities for more impact.

:D : Elder Scrolls Anthology, Creative Fatal1ty headset, and Deathsmiles Limited Edition all came in today. Wasn't expecting them to monday at the earliest.

:evil: : They all showed up in the same large box which had room to spare with no protection whatsoever. Deathsmiles LE box looks like it's been stepped on :P.

:D - I ordered some games from Amazon and used the free shipping on Friday and they are arriving today. I thought I'd have to wait a week. Keep doing this Amazon and I will definitely be back.

Guess what? Stealing is stealing! How novel and revealing of one's character!

Steal a movie off the Internet, steal it from the Goodwill, it doesn't matter. A thief is a thief. Swallow that jagged pill with a spoon full of sawdust.


Smile/Frown: You guys and gals may want to get comfy and grab a snack or meal as my next post in this thread will be worth the read. And go ahead and Google Roy Underhill if his name doesn't ring a bell. You'll be glad you did.

:D Moved into a new room today, and it's much nicer. It's also got carpeting and smells cleaner.

Well, to the thief it doesn't matter, as he/she is a thief either way. To the owner of the physical item in question, though, there is certainly a difference. If you have the option to either 1) Steal my copy of (insert game here), or 2) Download a rom of said game, I would greatly prefer you go with the latter.

Frown: My rant went on too long and got logged out. Fudge. It was a three pager at least.

In short, I met Roy Underhill, my brother-in-laws wife used her laptop during a dinner at 18 Seaboard (still can't believe she did that and I was the only one to say anything), I slept walk and woke up in a bathroom with my wallet in hand, and last night was a blast.
