There's a whiny piece of poo poo I work with who calls and complains about every little thing, he gets cheaper rates on everything by virtue of being really annoying. While he may save money overall, that just does not seem like a healthy way to live one's life. :shrug:

It's this super stressful scrooge of a life that he leads that will result in him being the next billionaire. He'll owe it all to years of painfully saving and cutting corners :smug:

Did anybody actually have the Sega Channel, the first failed attempt at digital distribution? I tried to sign up when my parents weren't home but of course it wasn't available in my area.

Just filed a BBB complaint, we'll see how that goes

Sony will respond saying they've resolved the issue, even if they haven't, and the BBB will close the complaint. The BBB pretty much only exists to help companies commit fraud anymore because they make money from those companies paying to be a part of their group.

Their business model is literally built on aiding fraud and I actually choose whether or not I will give someone my money based on whether they're involved with the BBB.

The first internet in my house was that internet thing that the Saturn had and I would actually go online using it and its weird rear end browser. They issued an update to it and the way you would update it was you had to put this disc in every time you wanted to use the newest features of their browser like javascript and frames for webpages.

It was cool for playing Bomberman and Daytona online though.

My PSN account got hacked. Sony couldn't recover it nor were they willing to strip the account of (admittedly old) debit card information. I would have been more pissed about it but my last purchase was in like, 2011 and my account only had Spyro and MGS1 tied to it. :shobon:

I don't get consoles. Any old cool games can be played for free using an emulator and anything new isn't' worth the 600$ you could use on a new mobo/graphics card/CPU that would put you 2 generations ahead of any console anyway.

A PS4 isn't $600 and it has cool exclusives that aren't available on the PC.

Rgiht now I'm looking at my 2001 copy of Pharaoh (which included the expansion pack!) and reminisce of those golden days where I could just pop the CD, install the game, and bam I'm playing the greatest city management game ever made. In fact, I think I'm going to do that right now.

I didn't realize it wasn't turned on. It's enabled now, and I have changed every password on all the sites I can think of that I have an account for.

You didn't realize it wasn't turned on because it didn't exist for Sony's service until like TWO WEEKS AGO because they loving suck at security
