I bought a new Philips TV several months ago and the component input wouldn't quite work with my PS2. (I'm far from inept, I've worked as a professional video editor.) So after some lazy attempts to fix it, I figured I'd call Philips and ask if there were any issues after various PS2 message boards failed to help. After several layers of phone-menus, I finally spoke to a real person, a nice Indian lady who probably was introduced to electricity earlier that day. I explained my simple situation and asked if my TV model had any issues with the PS2. Her response was that "the Playstation should not be used with any television." Regretfully, I hung up the phone instead of mining for comedy gold. I called again and spoke to an Indian gentleman who had only been briefed on television and was not aware that things could be hooked up to televisions. So before hanging up I explained to him what a Playstation was and used lots of fancy language to describe my problem. (I just didn't know how to fix it!) Philips rules! PS- I fixed the problem by updating the DVD drivers that come with the PS2's DVD remote.
I always thought of eBay as more of a venue than a store, sometimes it's a con's back alley and sometimes it's a friend's showroom. Either way the blindfold isn't removed when your package arrives, as described. (Or it's removed when you're alone in this metaphorical place and you start to wonder if anyone is still around.) I think people might be asking too much. I've only won about 35 auctions on eBay in four years, and I haven't been ripped off because I try really hard to research everything before bidding.
I mean, it's a bit like expecting the guy who owns the parking lot to pay for your broken flea market merchandise.
I manage a store that specializes in turtlenecks and various related (enormous) neck accessories. (Trivia time! Boss Nass was inspired by the area between Lucas' chin and chest.)
I wonder how much of that city I could buy if I won one of our (US) mega-lotteries. It'd be an awesome movie lot, although I'd imagine shooting a film in 4-minute bursts would be kind of difficult.
If you own a comp-u-ter you can install these sports onto the hard-drive on your computer and compete all by yourself. Or, if you wish, you can play with your friends! What a world we live in.
So it's like when I had the first NES controller and I had to watch my friend suck at being Luigi for a while? Only this time it's a gang of strangers with a Counter-Strike-level vocabulary and I don't get to play when they die?
If that can be a specator sport then everyone come over, I am about to set an alarm clock.
Sure I screwed up the Dixie flag decal and painted the interior the wrong color, but it looked pretty good. Yeah, it's been downhill from there. I don't even have a ball chair. Schwachbruestig indeed.
PS- If that word happens to infer that I like eating parrot turds then by "indeed" I meant "YAY KOOL-AID!".

How does everyone keep running into eachother? This galaxy of Lucas' is pretty tiny. Is Wedge going to run around in Episode III and introduce himself to everyone?

Press "back and to the left, back and to the left" on the controller after the Traffic Games logo for an extra shooter!
They still look better on vinyl. (Brace for impact!)

It's much cheaper to fake it.
(Is there such thing as a -5 Troll? I want to find out!)
I meant, "...isn't removed until your package...". Proofreading. Pssh!

I suggest they rename it to Firehercules or Spartacus.

Sadly I'm familiar enough with the man's voice that I can comfortably say that this isn't George Lucas. Happy April Fool's.
David Wong predicts! Said article.
Isn't that lip-reading technology we had on that Jupiter mission three years ago good enough?
Actually he's Bumblebee's British cousin, Nigel. (He visited Cybertron during the short-lived Transformers sitcom.)

Duke Nukem Forever! Ho ho, I'm so funny.
...designed to make the joke-teller feel "intellectually superior".
Hahaha, Eigenvalue! What a funny word. That's why it's funny, right? Right? Guys?
The last job fair I went to I spoke with a company that basically did this as their main service. Glad I don't work for them.
