I hate how everyone automatically assumes that fourteen year olds are completely oblivious, even though most all of us are. Also, I really hate crying babies.
There's a wii in perfect condition sitting in my house, 3 controllers, everything is here, and there are no games. It hasn't been touched in 6 months. Someone's offered me 120 for it, but my parents won't let me sell it. -.-
I hate the new principal at my school. But I almost died laughing in Family Living (which I got placed in, not chosen) because the principal (We'll call her Dolores Umbridge for now, because that's who she looks like and acts like*) walked into the class, and the teacher (Professor Trelawney for the sake of it**) was going through the course outline, which was full of imaginary theories and practices (much like divination). Anyway, Dolores stood at the front of the room and listened to Trelawney read her outline before asking her for a word, and then proceeding to ask her why she thinks Family Living is important. Basically this, but in real life: Harry Potter-Dolores Umbridge deleted scene! - YouTube It was pretty chill, but I digress; new principal cut exemptions, harsher punishments, and we have assigned classrooms for our free periods. ****ing stupid IMO. * She wears that stupid pink cardigan, and is a huge ***** like Umbridge ** She's really dumb and teaches the most useless course in the school.
Because, when it becomes popular and everyone wants to use it, people use it improperly and it sounds like ****. Don't get me wrong, when it was "underground" there were definitely shitty attempts at it, but when people use dubstep in the wrong way in their songs to fit in with everyone else? That's when it becomes annoying, because they're sheep. I'm not saying it's now bad because it's mainstream, I'm saying those who use it (badly) in mainstream songs ruin it. I don't shun any type of music because it becomes popular with the masses, I listen to whatever I want because I choose to. My 'taste' isn't dictated by what's played on the radio, it's dictated by the synapses that fire in my cerebral cortex, which release certain mixes of chemicals into my body, making me feel good when I hear what I like, which include songs that would never get played on the radio, and songs that are regularly played on the radio. Don't presume to judge me because I have a mind of my own and can voice my own honest opinion. Did I personally attack you? No, so why do you feel the need to mindlessly retort? I have given you no reason to, seemingly, become so offended. Your argument, while semi-valid, is unfounded. It's in my vocabulary because... it can be? Taboo, though it may be, you need words like this in your vocabulary if you used to argue about music with people as much as I did back in the day. Sorry for the mix-up. I evidently have access to the internet, so I'll check online before I go making crazy statements like that again. The obvious answer to my stupid question. Thanks for the clear-up.
My dog tried to kill me. I picked her up from the groomers, and she tried to get at the air-vent behind the pedals, more specifically the break pedal.
**** damn. Imagine the accident scene where somebody is trying to explain to the cop why there's a dog lodged under the brake pedal.
I'm so over anything I buy electronic that requires industrial cutting tools to breach the packaging.
I know that feel bro. Hahaha, seriously though. Especially when it's an item that doesn't require, by any means, to ever be in such packaging. Enter now Xbox Live cards. It is beyond me why those at one point utilized clam shell packaging.
That was something that pissed me off immensely. Glad I buy points online only now, saves the hassle of going to the shops to buy points, getting home, taking hours to open the packaging, then having to take another three hours to enter the code. Alternative; Add Points>select number of desired points>get points added instantaneously to account>purchase desired item. Ten seconds compared to 7 hours is much more appealing.
Yeah, but you run the risk of getting hacked and getting your credit card stolen. And now the cards are just plastic and you scratch off some stuff (like a lotto ticket) and there is the code.
They're also cheaper online than they are when bought as a prepaid card, or at least they are in the UK, another way of encouraging you to enter a CC on your account. EDIT: Security, there's a difference between "having your credit card stolen" and someone being able to buy points on it. There's no way to extract your CC info from your gamertag, so a hacker could not do anything other than buy points, LIVE subscriptions and games for that GT and that GT only. True, they can still spend your money doing so, but they're not going to book a flight to China or anything using your card.
Same here. Its roughly $16.50 for 1000 points online, whereas it's $29.95 for 1500 points in-store. For comparison, 1500 online would then be $24.75. It's also cheaper to renew your Live subscription too. I recently renewed my Gold for a special offer, 40% off. But even without the discount I still would have payed less than buying a subscription card in-store. That's comparing to EB Games, anyway. Other stores are cheaper, but they're likely still more expensive than online. I was going to say that they could only spend your money on your account, so it'd be pointless trying. Besides, I have fraud protection on my card anyway, so if someone somehow got my details they wouldn't be able to do much. If they did, I'd deactivate my card, or it would be automatically deactivated for me.
That's odd, LIVE is the same price online vs. prepaid here (UK). Obviously the dashboard offers bring it lower online sometimes, but in terms of base price it's £39.99 with both methods.
