Best Buy and Geek Squad the COMPANY, maybe. Every Geek Squad person I've met has been a greasy bum with BO, bad clothes, and zero self-esteem. But yeah, what a racket, eh? $130 US to get your shit online and plug a couple of cables into the back of your TV/receiver! LOL!

So, every Geek Squad person you've met so far has been a stereotypical nerd? Man, I could rule these guys with an iron fist!

So, I had no interest in watching the $500 million dollar abomination about the Smurfs all grown up, Avatar, when it came out, and I still have no intention of watching the movie that contains the name of its ego maniac director. I have even less interest after seeing THIS bullshit. Alberta is my home province up hurr in Canuckistan. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a fan of the oil sands, and the international business it attracts, mostly because these fuckers roll into my beautiful country, bleed it dry, and leave an environmental and socio-economic mess behind them for us to live with. I really hoped that the last "oil boom" windfall would have been spent on establishing the province as a technological and research monster, leaving us with a sustainable resource after the oil dried up, but the government SOMEONE elected (sure as hell wasn't me) instead squandered the money, and now we're all feeling the crunch. That said, James Cameron can eat a dick. That asshole has a private plane, a pile of cars, a giant house, and three sets of alimony to pay. He can stand to the side and shit all over the evils of the oil industry, even though he owns a JET PLANE. I doubt that bitch WALKS to work. It's great to see this prick trash my province, even though he's never even been here. Funny thing is, he's from Ontario, a province whose citizens form a mass exodus to Alberta every time they hear "OIL!", because they can finally get jobs for more than minimum wage. Fuck Avatar, fuck James Cameron. |

So, not sure how many of you know, but I'm a GameFAQs lurker. I've had an active account there for years, and whenever I have time to kill online, that's pretty much where I spend most of my time. Some of the posters on a specific board came up with a little fad and started posting a bunch of topics on the subject, and I jokingly made a parody topic, noting how lame the fad was. Later, the mods deleted all those topics (including mine), but they also handed me a three day ban from posting on any of my usual boards.
I "disputed" the moderation, noting that, in the 6+ years I've been there, I've only had a handful of deleted/ modded posts, and I've never been a "disruptive poster", and asking if they could at least cut it down from three days to maybe one, and they basically told me to piss off. What the hell kind of bullshit is that? I know, three days isn't THAT long, but that's pretty fucking stupid that I make one joke post to parody the dumb fad, and suddenly I'm banned from viewing or posting at any of my usual boards.

I left Gamefaqs around 2004-2005. There was a "mad modder" on the Fire Pro R board and he was clearly one of those people who hadn't "fit in" with the community (read: obvious troll that got smacked down every time he trolled) and got a mod position to try to mess with specific people (of which I was one). By that time the FPC had already come back up after being dormant for a few years, so I left GFs. I pretty much wrote "FPC" in the air (ala Bret Hart) on the GF board and took myself and everyone worthwhile on that board over to FPC. the GF FPR board has been a wasteland ever since.
GF is good for documents/cheats etc and occasionally you can find a dedicated board to a small game (the FPD board was one of the best I've ever been on in 2002-2004) but seriously, there's a reason GF has such a bad reputation for message boards. It's a nuclear wasteland there.

You must have gotten some mods that are PMSing. I've gotten modded a few times, but I have never been banned, only lost some karma.
I've been at GameFAQs since 2000 and there have been ups and downs, but it isn't all bad. I've gotten a good amount of help from the message boards. I tend to conservative around there because some mods are just way too sensitive. If it wasn't for GameFAQs, I wouldn't be here or e-fedding.

So, three days, and my GameFAQs account is still banned from most boards... *sigh* It's amazing how strict they're being about one single joke post. Un-fucking-believable.

Action figures, and the companies that make them, piss me off. People whine about DLC exclusives for games, but, lemmie get this straight. If I want the six Guardians of the Universe, I can only get them in 2-packs at Wal-Mart, where they are packaged with figures I already have. And that would be fine, except the figures in the 2-packs only come with a Lantern Battery accessory and not the green light construct accessories they normally would.
But there's going to be a Construct pack at Toys R Us, with Hal and 10 of the construct accessories, but nobody knows which 10! Will they be the ones the standard figures come with? Or maybe new ones? The ones that come with the light-up figures that are exclusive to Target, perhaps (including one figure that won't be made available in the standard line and is therefore EXCLUSIVE to Target)? Who knows?
And if I want regular ol' test pilot Hal Jordan, well, K-Mart has a pack of him and his dad (who is exclusive to this set), which comes with a parachute and some green light construct, but, not the fighter pilot helmet and gear that stand-alone Test Pilot Hal Jordan comes with!
Are you freaking kidding me?!?
So much hate!
