Random thought(s) of the moment

[Yakra]

Oh! That just happened to me too! :/ I finally placed in me order for FFXIII with Play-Asia and decided to throw in another Hetalia figure along with some other games. Aaaaaaand.... I just got a mail a few days back that one of the items in me order was cancelled and so.... pwah to me, they say. (I wanted to give that figure as a present to a friend too. T___T As thank yous for bookmarks..... T___T And the worst thing is, it HAD a checkmark on it before they decided to not give it to I!)

:'D

What truly bothered ME though was the fact that I pay through Western Union! They has my 7$! Ho! So I just wrote to them asking whether they could add another item to me order or something.

:'D

I hate that they're closed down on weekends.... :'D *the anxious one*

Mitch quoting Ashu wins! xD

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

I feel like such a fool.

All this time I've had a pretty good stereo sitting in the corner of my room collecting dust, and until yesterday it never occured to me that I could connect it to the TV and use it as a speaker set for my games consoles.



It makes SUCH a difference.

So, I've been playin' me sum Ys SEVEN.

[19:54:23] <Mutagene> wow
[19:54:34] <Mutagene> I make it to the final part of the final battle
[19:54:42] <Mutagene> then I lose, restart, and can't beat the first form

[Mutagene]

I actually don't think it's that hard, I have more trouble with the final form; the problem is that Elk is REALLY underpowered for me right now.

Good thing it's fun, though.

My godlike team of Adol, Myshera, and Crshe says hi.

Seriously, I neglected EVERYONE else because Myshera and Crshe are so freaking awesome.

[Incog Neato]

Ys SEVEN had a team of awesome indeed. However, until I reached the final boss, I was also neglecting some people.

Then came the save reload and extra hours of levelling. :P

I see you have excellent taste in vidya game characters as well.

The shipping cost of EMS for the CD 'Won't Be Long' is $23.90. It is much higher than the product value. The cheapest shipping method is normal airmail which cost $3.40. Please note that there is no tracking number available for normal airmail. Would you like to have the CD shipped by the airmail?

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Uh no. I'd like to have EMS shipping for airmail price because you cancelled the damn thing on me and didn't even apologize. Plus I had a coupon on the order so you better NOT be fucking charging me full price for the CD single.

On top of this, NEVER ONCE did anyone from Play-Asia contact me about the status of the order even after it ended up being a part of those "rare occasions" where an order exceeds the projected shipping date.

It was ME. *I* had to be the one to ask for the updates.

Er, I didn't answer them this way. :3

You know, they can keep the damn CD in stock. I just threw it in to get it over the $50 so I could use the coupon in the first place. :P

I bet that I can ask for some sort of "compensation" if I go into the whole sob story that it was for a friend who REALLY WANTED the CD they couldn't source. But nah, I'll be good.

Play-Asia is still in my good books.

[Nalacakes]

The same thing happened to me, Nunuu, but with YesAsia. I had to buy a Japanese textbook for class, and it fell just under the required price for free shipping, so I threw a CD I kinda wanted in with the order. Three weeks later they wrote to tell me that they couldn't source the textbook, leaving me without it for class starting. That was annoying in itself, but these things happen. What was worse was that they had recalculated the shipping on my 'order', and told me I now had to pay full shipping on the CD that was only there to get me free shipping to begin with. I wasn't even given any option to amend or cancel my order. I understand that sometimes it's difficult for them to source overseas items, but they listed the book as being in stock, and I shouldn't have to suffer for their mistake. <_<

Ha ha ha awesome! I remember the first time I got the same grand idea. I was playing Metroid Prime, and wow did the Wave Beam sound really cool after hooking up a stereo.

Thinking up punishments for my future children while listening to black metal, for tomorrow's CHN class. What could POSSIBLY go wrong.

... OMFG

Just like how Wyrd finally learned the Wild Arms town theme was Wild Arms' about one decade later, I also just learned something in pretty much the SAME fashion. xD

Ever since 1997 I tried out a PS1 game at my bro's friend's house. I really, reeeeally liked that game, but some time after that, I kept recalling the game, but never could figure out what the game was called.
And so, that kept happening once and then, for years... for over a decade... ever since then... until today.

That game was...

WILD ARMS ITSELF! WTF XD

Yesterday I researched the series on Wikipedia, and just a while ago I saw an early playthrough of Wild Arms for PS1 and... I started recognizing the maps... then slowly the graphics, then slowly the character ...........! "!!!!! It is THAT game!!!"

So, Wild Arms is now added on my playlist. Man, that took long. xD

[Yakra]

I was actually never able to play the first Wild Arms. Nor the second for that matter. The first just never arrived here, and while the second did.... for some reason it was in Japanese. (Who in their right mind would buy a pirated copy of Wild Arms 2 here?! ...Aside from me that is. :'D) Anyways, thanks to the language barrier, obviously the second never got played by me either. :'D

I totally gobbled up the third, fourth, and fifth though! Wild Arms stuff be amazing~~~~

Too bad Alter Code F never worked properly for me either. :/ It just stopped at a most crucial scene. And I've never been able to track down a proper original copy of that game either.





And in other stuff about Play-Asia - they nicely fixed me order up with two Musou figures as replacement. :'D Want Cao Pi! Hope I get him!

Something similar happened to me regarding Chrono Trigger. At the point where I ate the chicken at the fair and got the cat to follow me to her owner I was like "Wait a cotton-picking minute! This seems familiar!"

xD

[Ashurei]

I've only dabbled with Wild Arms 3. I didn't think it was was anything special, though that's not to say it was bad. I quite liked it! I absolutely LOVED the opening song, too. Both English and Japanese were very pretty.

That's one of those games I left to collect dust close to completion. I should go finish it some day!

[Yakra]

You just reminded me that I wanted to stick that opening up in the 'constantly playing in one's head' thread too. :'D Since.... the whistle version was just SO addictive! *___*

It's weird to hear that you left Wild Arms 3 just near the end too though. X'D That was EXACTLY the same case with me. Perhaps the deserted barren-ness just.... got to me? I finally went back to it after I finished 4 and 5. :'D



And the random thought of the moment - starting up Ys Online with Photoshop at the same time, with accidental leaving ons of Bittorrent = not good idea! DDDDD:

*watches disasters happen*

And the random thought before that - while paying for Luka nendoroid - are ye all slightly psychotic about moneys in your bank accounts too? Kind of like.... ye have a set sum in your bank which ye have drawn an invisible line across, and have vowed never to touch, and the moment ye start nearing it, ye start panicking? Or ye all empty your bank accounts like no tomorrow and only live (and shop) for the day? :'D

[ausdoerrt]

I have to handwrite like 2 pages of stuff, and review 400+ new words for tomorrow's test. It's almost midnight. FUUUUUUUUUUUUU....
