I bought a $400 camcorder, and it uses proprietary video files. Windows sees them as Mpg4 files but when I try to load them into Premier it doesn't recognize them and sometimes it crashes. The only good thing about the camera is that it uses a 30GB HDD. I tried using a video converter to convert the files to .movs, which Premier loves, but that didn't work out so well. ... Overall, I'd call it a waste of $400. Fuck.

I don't buy a lot of things

but when I do, I make sure they're high-quality and from a reputable source. I can't say I've ever been ripped off or cheated badly

Some guy in egypt sneakily added an extra $10 onto a silver cartouche (look it up i cba to explain) and chain i was aquiring from a store (normally wouldn't let my guard down but the head of the group we were in said it was a respectable store.) It wasn't till i was discussing the price with someone else that i realised what they'd done. It's the only time i've been ripped off and i've never let my guard down since.

Back in 9th grade, one of my friends began wasting ALL their money buying anime online and while he was buying all the individual DVDs of FLCL, he accidentally bought a bootleg that had all the episodes, but it was sold as the 3rd DVD. So it was a bad deal since he already had DVD's #1 and #2, but good for me when he sold it to me for $10.

Downloaded the Smokin Aces sound track for the song at the end where he's sitting in the chair and pulls the plugs.
It wasn't on the soundtrack... still can't find it.



Yeah, it wasn't a purchase.  I've got no purchase stories.

I have to seriously agree with the wii feeling kinda like a rip-off.

I guess it's because I only really liked No more heroes and that Okami port and once I got 100% on both of those there wasn't anything else but zelda, super smash bros., or mario. All of which I don't have that special nintendo fanboy love for and thus couldn't justify buying.

Post by: funzop on April 15, 2009 07:29 PM
fuck no more heros because the controls were bad and it tried to be too many things at once
fuck brawl it was boring and the single player mode came straight out of a 12 year old deviants fan fiction as well as online being awful
fuck mario kart it wasnt fun and all the skill that double dash and the ds version brought was lost
fuck wii sports it comes with the fucking console and its stupid and lost all fun withen the first hour of play
fuck the wii
FUCK YOU

i research the shit out of everything i buy as you can tell from my 500 posts about headphones. i guess my mom got a bad deal when she bought me Corpse Bride as a present cause she thought i'd like the animation.
thankfully it was balanced out with her also getting me Wall-e.

SSB is a damn good game

People just radically love/hate it because of the whole nostalgia thing

But as a standalone game, it's fucking excellent. I support SSB as much as I support PowerStone, JetSet and Gunstar.

Quote from: nonezopall the skill that double dash


are you insinuating that Double Dash was not a colossal piece of crap compared to all the other mario karts? including the wii one?

jesus fuck what is wrong with you.

Oh and the Ps2 had just as much shovelware (actually alot more) than your precious wii will ever accumulate. Seriously, maybe you are all too young to remember but walking through the aisle of PS2 games back when it was in its prime was like wading through a bucket of shit and piss. You dont get the good games in stores usually because people dont want whats good. they want whatever terrible mediocre crap they can give to their friends/kids/spouse on some special occasion.

Heres the trick to enjoying ANY console except the N-Gage:


[size=]DONT BUY BAD GAMES. USE GAME REVIEW WEBSITES. ORDER GOOD GAMES OFF THE INTERNET BECAUSE THEY WONT BE IN STORES BECAUSE WALMART SHOPPING PARENTS ARE STUPID AND IGNORANT OF SUCH THINGS.[/size]


noone is forcing you people to buy PARTY BABYZ. Just like noone tried to force me to buy LEGO RACERS or CROC or the other awful shit that flooded the PS2's game library.

I'm probably getting whole lots of "LMAO, PWNT" replies, but I once bought a 35 bucks digital cam (obviously not legit), when I opened it, it was a kid's toy, even worse, it was broken.

Since then, I don't buy things unless it's at a store or somebody that I know, I was so stupid back then.
