I hate being a troublesome customer (but sometimes it works...)
I stripped out anything identifying, just because I don't want this to turn up on a Google search of the store in question, but this is a pretty good example of how NOT to treat a customer who knows the merchandise, and who has been buying from you for years.

"Dear Aaron,
We are just informing you that the item you have placed are pre- ( Read more... ) -
And it only took four years.
Ar Tonelico 1, complete. It's probably the first game I've finished outside of work since Tales of Vesperia came out three years ago. (Not counting shooters and fighters, which can be "finished" in a sitting, since they're about mastery, not completion.) What a good game, despite its flaws. I wish the ending had been better, but it was just a ( Read more... ) -
FU, alarm and brain.
2:30 am. An alarm I don't remember setting goes off and wakes me. Ok, go back to sleep. Oh, right.

I found a $90 alternative last night--but now I don't ( Read more... ) -
Still always something. :P
Chris went logged from our Civ game around 11ish. I figured I'd get in some Borderlands before bed. Except... no audio. After much struggling, I got sound going on my receiver again (still don't know wtf was wrong), but my subwoofer started buzzing. I don't know what changed or why, but after trying all manner of things, including disconnecting ( Read more... ) -
Always something
I managed to get up early today, get dinner in the crock pot, get out the door, and even get gas before I'm usually even out of my bedroom. Even more amazing, I was in a decent mood! And theen as I got back in the car from getting gas, I noticed my back, left tire is flat. Damnit ( Read more... ) -
Typical. :P
Thirty now. Celebrating? No. Choking on my dinner--more than two hours after I started it. >_
