  1. Just because your GAME stores are unlucky and got stuck with bad-mannered staff doesn't mean they're going downhill. The people in my local GAME are lovely people - I take my chosen game to the counter, they make some sort of comment on it such as "Oh, I can't wait to get home to play this" or "Good choice", I pay for the item and then I leave.

     

    Woo thats me! And my friends. Go us!

     

    But yeah Im going to be bias cause I work there. It does depend on the people who work there. As far as loyalty cards go I do try and sell them when buying hardware because you get £2.50 back anyway but if they seem adamant to not buy one then I'm fine with that. You do have targets on loyalty percentage but it depends on how strict the manager is to whether they really care. Ours is a great guy and he doesn't really care that much.

     

    But as Meik said, our Gamestation is the "freaks" of the town. They seem nice enough (well Rob the long haired one and the short haired normal guy seem fine, the big fat scary goth is...well big fat and scary).

     

    Oh and as far as the dongle, it was never mentioned in any details about MK. Did Nintendo say it would be in shops, or in stores? Cause stores could mean online stores, ie Play and Gameplay.


  2. There was like a centimetre of snow this morning, all melted away though.

     

    You lied to me.

     

    No snow here in Kidderminster. In fact, it's nice and sunny out there.

     

    Im sorry you what?! You live in Kiddy? Crazy!

     

    There was so snow here this morning, I had to walk in it.


  3. whats the latest on the 2nd shipment of 360's to England?

     

    April apparently. Next main shipment anyway, whether they'll be minor shipments I don't know. Other people might.

     

    Could always keep a fan by the 360 to be extra safe. Could keep that fan working during the winter months!


  4. Does anyone have any good foreign music they'd recommend? I say Hombres G, Molotov, Manu Chao, Mano Negra, Soda Estereo, Mana, and Enanitos Verdes. You guys really ought to listen to those bands/artists.

     

    You might wanna give the Nip/Tuck soundtrack a listen through, its got a nice spanishy vibe to it in places (with the show being set in Miami and all). Songs in particular:

     

    Lonely - Bebel Gilberto

    Elvis - Alpha

    Following - Chungking

    Pride - Syntax

     

    I think, havnt listened to it for a while and the songs kinda blend. Its not full out foreign, but as I said, has a spanish vibe.


  5. Really liking a song by Brand New Heavies ("How We Do This") and another by Sufjan Stevens (John Wayne Gacy Jr) so I'll listen to some more of their stuff, so if its as good. As far as the rest;
