The Z-Man

You know why they're not taking pre-orders? Because of what happened last year with the 360 and pre-orders. Many stores took more pre-orders then they would get for the first shipment. They started telling people this and told some people they wouldn't get their's until the second shipment... some even on the third shipment. Well, this pissed some people off and I know first-hand of some of their wrath. I worked at a GameStop last holiday season and a man came in around 8 or so on a Saturday, I believe. Well, this was after the first shipment of 360s had come and gone about two weeks ago. This guy wanted to talk to the manager on duty so, I got Duncan, who was the manager on duty. Well, this guy started yelling at Duncan because, while his son's friends all got 360s from stores without pre-orders. Well, this guy's son was "a little sad" the he hadn't gotten his yet. Duncan explained the current situation to the man and said his son was contacted about it as well, back in August, if he was on the second shipment list. Well the guy continued on, even accusing Duncan of selling 360s to his friends, instead of giving them to the people on the list. Now, I had known Duncan for only around six months or so but, I was surprised that he handled the situation with a very cool and professional tone, even after something that was way over the line. The guy left his number and Duncan said he would call him personally once his son's 360 arrived. Now, that was not an isolated incident. People were pissed about having to wait, even though they had been told a few months in advance. So, it's a LOT smarter to just not take pre-orders. Certainly, it might be more work but, it's the same old situation of some assholes just ruining it for the rest of us. Also, EWRFan, unless you camp out, you won't be finding a Wii on launch day.

Well, although I didn't care about movies a lot back in '97, I've since realized it just seemed gimmicky to have Cruise and Kidman in it and could have easily been done with no-names. I've always felt rather bad too, as Kubrick is probably getting made fun of in Heaven for having "Eyes Wide Shut" be his last movie.... if there is a Heaven. If not, the worms devouring his body are probably making fun of him.

but... but I like Velvot Revolver, ____. Also, I'll believe it when I can listen to the CD. Anything up until that point I'll blame on the government inserting memories into my brain.

Alright episode but, GREAT opening. Sawyer had a cool storyline and it was just funny as hell. I think the ending could have used some work but, at least we know "Henry Gale's" real name now. Also, Fitzy, "that guy" is named Tom aka Mr. Friendly. Just figured I'd tell ya.

"Cherry Pie" by Warrant... One question: Why?

What does "CW" stand for anyway?

Let me get this out of the way. ...I HATE you now... Anyway, that's cool. I've always liked... let me correct myself, loved Roger Waters and I feel Pink Floyd is nothing without him.

Damn, I can't hear it. It won't load... but, I'm going to assume that is a good thing.

Alright show, so far. Next week's episode looks better. Hiro easily has the best power though.... He's also got the best name. Super Hiro. It just fits perfectly.

::starts vomiting as I try to rip my ears off.:: Dear god! Stop screaming and try to show some talent already! ...The music is alright but, fuckin' Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! Screaming is NOT singing, thus ruining the whole point of a lead singer.

Are these guys really that bad? Cause, if they are, I MUST hear them.

Quick question regarding Chart Wars 3... How does one sign bands to a label? It's probably right infront of me but, I just can't seem to find the option. Thanks in advance.

I can NOT wait... Seriously. I can't. I'm working on a time machine... but, it's mainly to distract me from the amount of time until Lost Season Three premieres. I'm actually thinking of doing a LOST diary after I do the one in my sig but, I think someone might take the idea before I get around to it.

I am extremely jealous and have an urge to commit an act of murder... not against you though. Mainly against my local arenas, who never seem to get Motorhead! HATE! HATE HATE HATE!

Thanks, man... I wuv you.

Where does this one download it exactly? I can't seem to find it through the message board and I did sign up as a member.

Well, it actually started in Toronto back in 2004 so... you missed out.

Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you have never seen that show then, you have not truly lived.

I most recently watched an episode I had never seen before, with the movie being "Timechasers" and it's easily a good one. The slumps just a little 2/5 of the way through the movie but, that's mostly due to the characters not shutting up. Also, "Timechasers" while being a bad movie, is a little interesting near the end but... it's just absurd and doesn't make sense sometimes, especially the no-explanation of how the main character came about the power of time travel. My favorite MST3K is still "Mitchell", even thoguh it was Joel Hodgson's last episode... ::sigh.:: But anyway, what do you fellow EWBers think of MST3K?
