Random Rants XVII: Rage Against the Machine

[Dachs]

Jeez, why the hell is there no English translation of the Epitome of Ioann Zonaras? Or at least, of the most important parts?

 

[Camikaze]

I can't get motivated to do any work tonight.

I wish the building managers would do something about the homeless person who sleeps in our office, as we have been telling them to do for months - maybe the fact that said homeless person vomited all over our atrium windows will spur them to action, but more likely all it means is that I will have to figure out a way to clean it all up.

We are happy to announce more details regarding the release of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ The Live Anthology, a multiple disc set of recordings drawn from thirty years of live performances.
....
A collector’s deluxe box set available only at Best Buy beginning November 22.

The nearest Best Buy is in Dartmouth.

EDIT: I can't order online, either, no credit card. My mom refuses to get one and I'm too young.

To make this a discussion topic, what do you all think of "available exclusively at so-and-so" stuff?

 

[Onionsoilder]

Order online?

Can't you order it from Best Buy and they ship it to your home?

[Ai Shizuka]

Blame Tom Petty.

The fewer places that sell Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ The Live Anthology the better.

 

[Kerozine]

Have you tried looking for it on Amazon.ca?

 

[Rossiya]

There's an amazon.ca?

 

[Zelig]

Blame Tom Petty.

Yeah, it really is his fault.

Have you tried looking for it on Amazon.ca?

It's like amazon.com but without the products.

 

[Kerozine]

There's an amazon.ca?

Ya.

Edit: Beat by Zelig

It's like amazon.com but without the products.

Not as wide a selection as its US counterpart, but still constitutes an alternative to the big box retailers, depending on what you're buying.

Is there a FutureShop where you live? It's the same company - maybe they'll carry it, or at least be able to get a copy for you.

 

[Flying Pig]

When people ask closed questions, can they stop adding in the second answer, or not? Do they think I'm stupid, or are they just irritating people? Have they ever thought that I might have a different answer, or be clever enough to work out the second one?

I hate Art (class)!!! When the art teacher announced we had requirments to fulfill I just lost it!

ODST. I'm not even coming close to buying this.

This game was on my Top 5 for Christmas List. Now, I'm not even going to touch it. Why?

Because it's greatly overpriced for meager content. I will never pay 60 dollars for a 3-hour campaign, Nazi Zombies with vehicles, and three extra maps (I have all the DLC). If I did spend it, I would pick it up, beat the campaign, play Firefight a few times, and then leave it in the dustbin of unplayed video games. And considering Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, and Fallout: Las Vegas are coming out soon, my money is better spent elsewhere.

Never in my life have I seen an expansion pack that is so much more than the game until these greedy bastards.

Rent, not buy. It's still an enjoyable experience. If you're really cheap, go to a friend's house and play it.

I left my calculator at home the day of a math test, so I had to borrow one from the professor. After I aced the test I came up to the parking lot to find my tire had a nail it in and was flat.

Now I'm stuck doing this english assignment that is dragging on and on.

and I think I was too forward with this girl I was talking to, but that's an acceptable loss.
