I just made my first stunt video for GTA IV. Please check it out!

So Far Away
PG-13 for violence and some language.

that was great!


Ok I'm really wanting to get into playing Final Fantisy games again. I'm wanting to start with 7. Everywhere i look it's a lot of money, so I was wondering if anyone on here might have it for a trade or want to sell for cheap, or know where i can get a hold of it. If anyone can help please let me know.

Florida teen finds rocks in Nintendo DS box

Boy, that's just plain wrong.

Isn't though. What about that story about the kid who got a PSP with that dirty memory stick? People need to make sure that its sealed good n' shut before it leaves the factories and stores.

Then there was the story of the kid who bought an Xbox and found it gutted with A Series Of Unfortunate Events book inside it to give it weight

These are all due to people returning these products, trying to cheat the company and making a dishonest buck in the process. Taking advantage of the "I don't give a crap about my job, so I'll do it as minimally as possible" minimum wagers that work there too. It has nothing to do with the company, just cheats who take advantage of problematic return policies....

Really, I though they would return all merchandise back to the manufacturer. One time my mother bought a food processer, and out of the box, it was used... clearly used once, returned and NOT CLEAN. And this was years and years ago. Probably before I was born. You'd think they'd learn by now.

Video Games Over The Years:

The first video game unit I had was Pong.

In the early 80s, my brother and I wanted Atari 2600, and my parents wouldn't buy it for us. So we had a yard sale & made a little over $124. My parents bought us Atari 2600, my brother bought Chopper Command & I bought Ms. Pac-Man. We had over a hundred games in total. I would go into his room every chance I got & play whatever game that thrilled me that day. I was addicted to: E.T., Pitfall, Dig Dug, Chopper Command, Adventure, Kaboom, Berserk.

In the mid 80s, I took computer programming at a local JCC, and my dad bought me a Texas Instrument(TI-99 4A) computer. There were several games we had to program in DOS. One game, was like Fantastic Voyage, to rid the body of germs,etc...

My brother had C64, he had a lot of sports games & I had adventure games.

In the early 90s, my brother had NES & I had SNES. I remember Duck Hunt, Super Mario Brothers, Caeser's Palace, Zoop.

I had Kingdom Hearts for PS2, it gave me motion sickness.


I was also of the arcade/pinball generation, preferably Atari games. My family would go to the local malls & at Ocean City, and my brother and I would play for hours at a time. I enjoyed Tapper, Galaxian, Tempest. I remember watching my brother play Dragon's Lair.

I grew up on a lot of video game for the PC, mostly puzzle, adventure & card games: Monkey Island, Darkseed, Maniac Mansion.

Nowadays, I'm over at Pogo.com, playing puzzle, casino & sports games. Games help me relax & ease my stress.

Wow, you were addicted to E.T.!
I was/am addicted to Kaboom! that game is just so extremely addictive! Also Super breakout, Circus Atari, River Raid, Combat (but I fail at that game, always have...always will.).

I've never played Monkey Island...but I really want to.
Did you ever play the Kings Quest or Space Quest games?

I never tried Kings Quest or Space Quest. My aunt gave me her old games, those are among them, but my computer is too super fast to play them.

Ooh! Big fan of space quest here! I have four and five, but haven't played them in forever. Still love the game, though!
