Also, is 10:30 in the morning too early for a burrito?

Coincidentally I asked myself this question exactly at 10.30 this morning only regarding a Dürum kebap which is close enough to a burrito.

My stomach says to tell you no, it is not too early.

Hi there, new member here. I paid the money for platinum upgrade and still can't view the secret text.

I sent an email to support about it, but the reply from the SA mod team was a series of unspeakable photos that will keep me awake at night for the rest of my life.

Can anyone help me?

I struggled with this too, while it's still kind of fresh I figured I'd tip you off the truth is in the tattoos on some of "them."

Thanks for the blog post Mr Smart, it was very informative and enlightening :) I had no idea that they just switched to x64 and scrapped two years of work, that was mind boggling. And that 8 of the 14 studios are in West Hollywood and Santa Monica, one of which is a branch of their Texas studio..?

In the meantime, since my July blog posts, they seem to have continued issuing refunds. Though there are reports that some people have waited for up to four weeks to get their money back.

Report: I'm 6 weeks into waiting. In the meantime 4 different customer dudes asked me 4 times if I _REALLY_ wanted to get a refund and if I won't be so kind to state a reason. So I confirmed 4 times in the last 6 weeks that I _REALLY_ want a refund / my account closed, and no I don't want to state a reason or link to an article. The last message I got form them was ~2 weeks ago. Since then nothing.

Good question. Also the Gizmondo stuff is hilarious / loving skeevy as hell. I don't know how the US government is not getting involved again after the first time with RICO charges.

I don't think enough has been said about how screwed up the refund situation is and how bad a sign it is that the refunds are coming from multiple entities now for a single refund transaction. Proper accounting does not work that way, there is no reason for doing poo poo like this unless you're going out of your way to conceal your financial position. I firmly believe CIG will crash hard, and they will crash next year.

I wonder if some people's pledges could be classified as deposits, might be able to get slightly more money in the inevitable chapter 7. :gary:

This right here. If anybody still thinks that CIG isn't broke, why is their refund process so hosed? This is the sort of thing you would expect from the final stages of a Ponzi scheme.
