You don't need one. Get a Paypal account.

Haziqonfire

What does Paypal do? I'm too lazy to find out myself..

It's the middle-man between your bank account and eBay. Basically, you put money into your Paypal account (from your online bank account), wait for it to clear, and it's transferred to Paypal. The reason it exists is because if you just used your online bank account, someone could easily hack in and steal your money, so it keeps your money safe.

Oh, makes sense. So say if someone buys something from me, their money will come into my paypal account and I can collect it to my bank account?

Yep.

Yep.

K cool. Now I just got to figure out how to ship stuff and I'm good.

Just go toUPS.ca

It has a section that tells you how much it'll cost to ship to any given location.

So has anyone here ever put ranch dressing on a bagel? It's freakin good. Been doing it for awhile and always wondered if anyone else does it because I don't know anyone who does. If you ask me, there are not many things that ranch dressing doesn't taste good on.... And bacon... roboccs

Not really the place to ask that, although I will definetely support any Sega game which features Ulala (and served as inspiration for Gitaroo Man). I just hope Sega remembers to include classic Sonic tunes in their DLC like they did in Samba 2000, I can never get enough Sonic Boom.

I like Neo Olde Sega, they learned to listen to their customers and are rebuilding their good name through their secondary properties. They left Sonic Team alone and started forcing zany gameplay elements in games where it makes sense. As long as Sega continues to combine a lineup of fresh games with retro games, they stand reclaim their audience.

The Wii might not be called the "Dreamcast 2" anymore, but Sega certainly calls the console its second home. When the art designer for Power Stone 2 made Zack and Wiki, it became obvious that everyone who worked at Sega saw their chance to make the next Dreamcast game. Those who were there are what kept the console afloat, even during the "no games" fiasco.

I'm such a sega fanboy.

I completely forgot why i got on this.

This is my current situation, it seems pretty textbook strongarming, but watch the video. What would you do if the man who wasn't in control of you told you to move? It seems pretty obvious that somebody isn't telling the whole story, which is why they changed the ruling of 1994 which took away immenent domain in favor of annexing one small area of town.

Seedy.

So in my random walmart travels I managed to come across a copy of Eternal Sonata! So I snatched that one up quick, as I have been unable to find it anywheres else. Yay, I got it just in time to for.. Tales of Verperia. Great. I really need to stop buying so many games.

On the bright side though, my school sent me and others off to Boston Pizza tonight and paid for our dinner and drinks. Hellls yeah.

Ive found many things at wal mart that are sweet deals.

Im still wondering is prince of persia worth 18$

I walked into a walmart yesterday and found a completely new Psychonauts PS2 for $19.99. Then I realized I already own it, but I still wanted it so I can give Tim Schaffer more money.

Eternal Sonata has me hoping for either a PC release or a good PS3 english release.

Im still wondering is prince of persia worth 18$alexh_99

Yes. Yes it is. Have you played any of them yet?

Rival Swords? AKA Two Thrones?

Yes it is -- I bought it a few weeks back for $14.99 at Ebgames Canada. I played it before so I beat it rather quickly, but I love the PoP series. I bought Sands of Time for $3.99 last week -- awesome deal.

I cant find Warrior Within .. though I don't care -- it was the worst in the series imo.

Any ideas to make enough money for a 360 quickly?PhazonBlazer

Charge people to play Wii Sports.

No i havent played any of them. Will i still know what is going on. Or does it follow a story and i need to play the other ones first to understand it.

Oh, ranch dressing on a pretzel w/bacon bits!

Not sure why, but that was all the rage back when I was in 8th grade.

Honestly it was really good...

Why? Do you want to play Tales of Vesperia or something?? I never ever ever had any desire to have a 360. I always felt like it was just a bunch of little brats playing a bunch of FPS. Now that I see ToV and the fact that FFXIII is also coming to 360 makes me more interested. If I were to buy another next gen console however I still feel PS3 would be the way to go. However, not happening any time soon. I did just get a used PS2 slim for only $60!! I pick it up tomorrow. i know I'm behind but I feel I missed out on a ton of great RPG's. I will finally be able to play FFX, XII, Kingdom Hearts, and Tales of Abyss if I can find it for cheap. Can't wait. Just in time for the labor day weekend.

Haziqonfire

NO! Don't listen to Haziq. At least not this time. Usually you should listen to everything he says, but not this time. ;)

The story of Sands of Time deserves more than a Wikipedia summary. Part of the great experience of the first game in the series is its well-above-average (for a video game, at least) method of story-telling.

Warrior Within improves on the gameplay, especially combat, but the feel of the game is different from Sands of Time. There's a reason for this, and it ties directly into the story, which you'll need to know in order to fully appreciate Two Thrones.

Two Thrones has the feel of the first game and much improved gameplay, and it ties the entire story together really well. You have to play each in succession to get the best experience out of the series.

The only caveate is that you must be able to handle trial and error gameplay. The structure of the entire game revolves around doing something until you get it right. It's well designed, though, and grants a continual sense of satisfaction throughout.

Got a 360 recently. It's my brother's but I play sometimes. I bought Tales of Vesperia today. Haven't had a chance to play it yet because I just got home from work. I also have Eternal Sonata. It's a pretty good console but my Wii still gets the vast majority of my playtime.

:shock: -- lol. Actually, thats true -- Sands of Time's story was pretty good. I honestly think you could read through a synopsis of each game on wiki, but you'll get more out of it if you play the other two first -- though, to me, the story in the PoP games really don't matter. :P

I just got it tonight, it is really good so far.

I havent read up on the story or anything, but i sort of know what is going on.

I like how you can run on walls and up walls to get to areas, it is really neat.

if you dont have this game, pick it up

Deos anyone know until the next update for the Wii is?SSBFan12

Right now. Right this second!

Full SD card support, 6,000 free Wii Points added to your account, and the ablilty to use any headset you want!

Oh, damn, the update is over now. :(

Oh well, I got it in time!

Hey guys, how do I get those horizontal pics at the bottom of my posts like some of you have? What are the size requirements if anyone knows? I wanna throw drawing in one.

Thanks in advance

So I just realized something:

If self-proclaimed "hardcore" Nintendo fans want a harddrive, headset, DLC, more "hardcore" games, etc., they should pretend that they don't want them. That way, Nintendo will be like "Oh, I guess hardcore people don't want these things, so that must mean that the casuals want it. Let's make an "M" rated FPS! Oh, and no more Friend Codes!"

Of course, this is just my way of getting those annoying kids to shut up for once...I know it'll never happen though. :(

Yesterday I got Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for $4.99 and God of War II for $19.99 and my friend gave me his PS2 because he has a PS3 60GB so he can play PS2 games on it, he has a 360 and a Wii so hes set.

lol -- I also got his WaveBird :)

In your Preferences, go to "Forums" and at the very bottom is an option to stick in your sig. You can either insert a pic uploaded to a hosting site into the text box or you can upload using the button. If you choose the second option, you're limited to 50K. If you upload to a hosting site and just put in the IMG link, the size doesn't matter I don't think.

As for the width of it, on most screens, a 600-pixel width is the absolute max without stretching the screen, but the widest I've seen a moderator use is 550 pixels. The safest to use if you don't want a mod or admin to delete your sig is 480 pixels, which is very common.

wheres that new QOTW Alex?air_wolf_cubed

Im getting lazy, im about 75% done, just taking a break. It will most likely be up around midnight tonight (EST) or tommorrow afternoon

That makes sense. I think they should make a 40GB with backwards compatability

Also Qotw will be up tommorrow i got lazy and watched video on trial.

If you dont know the show, there are these comedians who watch music videos, and make fun of them.

The funniest thing on this episode was...

in a song (i forget which one) there was this girl in a astronaut suit. and one of the comedians said

"wait, i thought only men could be astronauts. Unless there is some space kitchens i dont know about. :) i found it really funny

Taco Bell made a red-shelled taco with "ZOMG special volcano sauce" and marketed it as the hottest thing ever. The Baja Mountain Dew was spicier than that taco.

It was tasty though. I'm glad they introduced the $5 value box.
