Actually in this case I spoke in anger before I contacted the seller. Even though he has a no return policy he apologized and offered to replace the disc, and I stand corrected, I thought when ebay changed all their buyer/seller stuff a while ago they'd gotten rid of negative feedback, I was wrong in that aspect. And you were right about the buyer/seller feedback, he almost exclusively had feedback as a buyer so I was pissed and should have slowed down and took a breath.

buying a game off ebay from a seller with a no return policy who has great feedback but the game is scratched all to hell, I know it's a buyer beware market and ebay protection covers many things but seriously, WTF, ebay should NEVER have gotten rid of negative feedback options, yes it was/could be abused but it also provided additional information. I buy quite a bit and I have almost never been burned so I guess I shouldn't bitch much but I certainly got burned here...oh well...

Finished Lunar: Silver Star Harmony a few hrs ago, really, really fun game, been playing Brave Story for a couple of hours now, so far seems OK, we'll see, almost started YS: Seven but I wasn't sure if I should play the series in any chronological order or not, any advice?

When my son, who is now an avid gamer, was young I learned to play late, late at night and survive on little sleep. Now, late night and early morning sessions are my "be alone quality game play time"...old habits, lol, and CONGRATS btw, kids are great fun (for the most part)

Just bought my son Final Fantasy I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX and Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross (all PSX versions) for his "summer visit" present, pretty excited about it, pretty sure he's gonna freak out, lol.

On the last chapter of Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, game has provided me with quite a bit of enjoyment, although it is pretty easy, and Mana Khemia just gets more and more and more interesting!

$60 poorer (and I NEVER, unless they are SMT games, buy new games) but I hope richer for the experience, little lady finally convinced me to buy this today....

...What's strange isn't thinking about all the people you know who've gone out of your life, or even not really caring if you ever see them again. What's strange is the ones you do think about. It's always the ones that turned out wrong, either by breakdown or drunk driving or--.
It's impossible to see the forest for the tree when you can't even see the tree, considering that the complexity and majesty in a single grass flower is fucking mindblowing!
A very good friend of mine, whom I had lost touch with since graduation, committed suicide a couple of years ago. I still have the strangest feelings when I think of him. In school he was the ultimate happy-go-lucky kid that everyone loved, played on the football team, kinda the "big oaf" everyone knows (although he was far from an oaf, smart guy, college prep course etc.). I sometime wonder what drove my friend (who I first met in 4th grade) to turn out so very upset that death was the only solution. It's almost like I sometimes feel I live in a time warp concerning my past. While I have certainly changed and grew, in my memories, and current thoughts, everyone is still young and care free. Really hits me when I go home and see someone I knew and realize wow, we've all changed...not sure about the trees or forest but anyhow your comment resonated with me... |
