What a nice guy! BTW, Far Cry Instincts Evolution is serious fun. I spent the entire day playing it, and I am hooked. These Far Cry games are some of the best XBOX games that money can buy....hands down.
Grooves, I have a question for you, since you work at a gamestop and all. When it comes to M rated games, does the customer have to be 17 (since that's what the game is rated for and all) or 18. I've always wondered this, but more now than before since in 3 months I'll be 17.

Strangely enough, I've usually seen 18 for verification myself at times. :stick:
Then I'll go "Look here. It says M, and what number is above it? 17. Look at my ID. Born July 22, 1989. Do the math. 17. 17. Sell me the damn game."
And then security/police will get involved, and things will get ugly :(
What a nice guy!
Everyone got that? And it's got an exclamation point, too! Kekeke. :p
Also, it cost me $9 to ship it today, and I sent like $15 of games for free, you got an awesome deal Bongo, you kinda owe me. :p

Ehh, my bro is 17 and the only M game we got was Doom 3 from Bestbuy a few months ago.
Then we went to go and get Ninja Gaiden at Gamestop (Groovy remembers this story) and then said no, saying that my brother had to be 18 to buy a game that said 17 and up. Even when I argued that that would mean that A Games should be 19 and up, which is retarded. But no, we still didn't get it.
F-ers keeping us away from our games when I played Unreal when I was 8. I mean really. *Sigh*

My very good thing is that I finally sent off my DS to Nintendo :D
That, and I get another free day off of school thanks to this damn cold. I both love being sick and hate it.

17. While some games are naughtier than others, usually if a game has any kind of blood splatter, language, or drug referenses, it has to get the M label. I realize that most boys have heard just about anything by the time they are 12, but rules are rules. They are stupid, but we follow them, so we can stay employed. :) Also, this is what happens if we get busted selling a game to a minor:
1. Termination of employment
2. The store, company, and person responsible has to pay a large fine.
3. The store is temporarily closed pending investigation.
Thank's Hillary, and Tipper....:rolleyes:
I'm not at all clear on the situation in the US. As far as i know all the LAWS about selling adult games to minors have been overturned... so 2 and 3 seem unlikely.
I thought that the rating were purely an voluntary industry initiative that a lot of stores had signed up to? I guess maybe when they sign up they agree to 2 and 3, but it seems a bit unlikely.
There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the whole issue.
Anyway, now i need to think of a good thing... :(

Its almost summer! And for the first time its looking nice and sunny outside... so i dug out my old skates last night and went for the first skate of the year to the cinema. That was a good thing.
(PS/ Not a pic of me!!) ;)
Sweet, I know that the Walmart up here requires you to be 18, not sure about the Target, but at least I know I can go to the Gamestop over here to get my M games in...

Egads! I love how this works out, I can look at whatever I want to look at on the internet, then go a slice/blow-up/chop/shoot/burn/beat people to death in my video games that I happen to already have, but NOOOO!; can't let me get M-Rated game! Oh lord! Anything but the marginally violent video games, please!
Hell, I laugh when I blow half of a guy's head off in SOFII, but I can't play Half-Life 2 because of the "graphic" blood? Pul-leez!
Well, I got my PSU today, and except for a minor incompatibility in design with my case (screwhole on the case that isn't used was in the way, pryed it back with plyers and now if fits nice and snug :) ), it's working great. And according to UPS, the graphics card is on time and should be here on friday :)
Btw, TiE, would I have to sign for it? Just wonderin cause I might have to work after school on friday.

I think you have to sign for it if it's over $400 or the sender requests that it be signed for. Anyone that lives at your house/apartment can sign for it though.

I didn't ask for anything like that, but it's got your name on it.
Also, I warned you about the PSU not fitting, but good to hear you got that sucker in with some "gentle" force. :P
The dimensions were right. You know the part where the cord from the outlet goes to the PSU? Well, the plastic around that sticks out a little bit, where it didn't do that on the old one. But no problem.

:D Yup I'm reliving one of the greatest videogames ever made. XD Feels good to have Mario with me where ever I go lol. Heh, when my mum saw my GBM with Mario she told me that the original Mario was the only videogame she ever understood. I couldn't help but smile at that XD

Lynk... how big is the Micro compared to other gameboys, like the Color or SP?
And, a few days ago I bought Billy Joel tickets for April 22.
...Why would you buy a Micro? No really. Unless I missed something related to some astronomical price difference you might as well get the DS, since it plays GBA games.
I digress... KH2 for me in 2 days.
Lathain, do you have to seem like an ass every post?
Anyhow, to answer your question, I believe he said that he didn't like the looks of the regular ds, and was gonna wait until the DS lite came out to get it, and in the meantime bought a micro because he liked the looks and the feel of it.

The Micro is about the size of... a credit card, cept slightly longer and it's twice as thick as a GBA cart. The screen is smaller than the original GBA and GBA SP but the resolution is the same, just smaller pixel size. I do have big hands but the Micro is still comfortable IMHO, the buttons feel like sex, they are so much better than the GBA SP and original DS.

I already have a DS (which I will be trading in to buy a DS lite once it's released down here). I bought the Micro to act as a keychain, for my keys obviously. It is tiny enough to carry around in your pocket without you even noticing it's there. Plus I have the original Super Mario Bros. in there, one of the greatest videogames ever made. I've played and finished that game a million times over and have never gotten sick of it. It was purely a fan decision on my part and I don't regret it one bit, in fact it's served me very well ever since I bought it seeing as I don't take my DS everywhere I go and sometimes I forget to take my DS somewhere, so having the micro around is very useful since having my keys around is important XD
The Micro is selling for 99AUD down here, that's about 72USD at the moment.

They rock don't they!! (I've got the famicom one :p - see a dozen pages back)
I'm not convinced they are quite small enough to work as a key chain (partly cos i don't want to scratch my lovely looking special editon one!) but the best thing about them is that they are so light. I can stick mine in a coat pocket and completely forget it is there - until i get stuck waiting for a bus and i can whip it out and have a blast on Tony Hawk or Advance wars.
I also paid 50 quid for a flash cart so that i can carry 4 or 5 games around at once and not have to carry extra carts. Games that i own mind you... ;)
I just got a bunch of money to go buy birthday presents with. I'll post the goods later tonite, or tomorrow. :)

Where'd you get a flash cart for 50 bucks? I've always wanted one for games I already own and for homebrew stuff.
God damn groovy, you got alot of stuff. Congrats. How old are you now?

Ebay of course... though i guess Ј50 works out more like $75ish.
Its only a 256mb cart, and it can be a bit tempermental on transfering stuff... but it is very cool to be able to have a range of games at your fingertips.
I currently have Warioware, Tony Hawk 2, Zelda - Link to the past and Sudoku. Plus i have a homebrew Lords of Midnight I want to try.

FROM THE OFFICE OF KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
Thank you very much for your letter - I apologise for any delay in responsing to you. As I'm sure you can appreciate, Keira is extremely busy and it is often difficult to reply to each request individually.
However, Keira has read your letter and hopes that you will be pleased with the enclosed signed photograph sent with her best wishes
I wonder if she actually read my letter... :xp:
Proably about the same odds as any of us scoring with Keira :xp:
