Dyson

Not a chance.

You made a mistake on the first post. I think you'll find that the Dysonian Wanderers won the cup. Both times. That is all. *adjusts tie and leaves*

okay yes okay

Coming 11.11.11 (see what they did there?), this was sorta out of the blue.. I'm sure it'll rip the current consoles open. Thoughts?

A new, upsized version of the 3DS. *facepalm*...though I do like the colour schemes they're going with. Thoughts?

I work with the LDS team, there are about 12 of us. Familiar with ClearlyBusiness?

I somehow got a job working for Barclays setting up meetings for business owners with a Business Manager in an ultra cool office with a small team where we have shit loads of freedom and the environment and atmosphere is amazing. Had my first day today and I didn't want to leave! AND THERE IS A KETTLE AND COFFEE Also after a year I actually train to become one of these Business Managers so I actually have some direction about me for the first time since.. well ever, really! Since college. Career plan go!

GAME. DiSPATCH MY LOOT CHEST DAMMIT.

Hahaha sort of! Ah, London Girl.. those were funny times. Basically she's bi, but prefers the female form, which caused me some headfucks at the time but I've learnt to accept it. It doesn't change her feelings as she is primarily attracted to personality rather than appearance. It also means I get away completely scot free when talking about attractive women as we can compare.. I know that might be odd to some (it was to me!) but it's part of our natural relationship banter now. We've been together for a year and a bit now and have been living together for 5 months so I'd say things are going well! Well enough to drag me away from this place! I wish I had more time to visit these forums..

Sure, Peeps. I'll keep it open in a tab so I remember to check

Yep, looks like you'll be able to contact customer services to reinstate the order, glitch in the system. Sounds good. Twitter team have always seemed to be helpful with these things.. now if only they could hire more people like that in head office/Customer Services :P

Fuck it, if there's a spot I'll play. Will try my best to be here for this. Edit: lol, that's what I get for coming back, checking my mentions and not the forum

GAME. Fuck. Never had any issues with their online system until now - they've just cancelled my Borderlands 2 Loot Chest pre-order. Am very cry.

Today is a good day. Today I called in sick to work and went to a group job interview. And succeeded. Then I got to call the arcade and hand in my notice over the phone and stick it to the man, so to speak. I just had to post to let meeters who knew of my plight know and y'all and shit. I am the happy Oh, but I'll be a hated person.. now working in a call centre calling you up so you can buy BT Infinity because it's better and shit. But yeah. Fuck yeah. Onwards and upwards!

The next meet is already sorted out, for I am a master of foresight. Rummy is in possession of the goods.

Happy birthday!

Seeing you guys made work amazing. Best shift ever. Plus epic foreplanning from myself means the next meet will be just as ballin' Any videos from Namcizzle?

I moved to London! And as such had to leave my last job (which I actually quite liked) and am currently stuck working at Namco (which I really, really can't stand). I should probably come to N-E more often, familiar strangers on the internet not knowing what's going on in my life is weird But yeah someone should totally PM me and I'll give you details of the location and other cool stuffs.

Guuuys. I didn't realise this was tomorrow. I can't really make it, but I can offer you an attractive idea. I'm working the night shift at Namco. It's just by the London Eye. It's open until midnight. If you come, I will give you a free bag of tokens worth £50. I'll work some magic. And then you can bumper cars/bowl/video gamez all you want. Lemme know if anyone feels up to coming so I can prepare something..! Edit: PM me if it sounds like something you wanna do and I'll throw some details at you.

nintendo lol

Hello, all.. It's been a while again but I thought I'd come here to see what the reaction has been to the closures, and it's pretty much what I anticipated to be honest. I'll get to a few posts now and answer them honestly to try and clear things up for you. For those of you asking about me, I myself am still in a job. Our store was not closed today. However, I must have had some bad karma stored up as today I was running a store that was in fact closing down and as such was in charge of closing the store at midday, receiving the information via phonecall, passing it on to the team, and informing all of the staff that as of this Friday they were to be made redundant with no consultation. I then had to cash up as if it were the end of the day, safe and till floats and all and keep the team together to help with sending stock away until Friday, when they'll all be let go. It was a horrible, awful situation to be in, one in which a Senior Sales Assistant shouldn't be put in in the first place - and nobody should have to do it in another store they don't even work at. Those poor staff members. So yes - today, I found I was safe for now, but had to do the heartwrenching job of telling the team I was with for the day they'd lost theirs having met some of them that very same morning. Under orders from above to continue trading as normal, yes. Can confirm we only found out about store credit stuff (gift cards/points etc) at about 1pm today. We were still doing trade-ins for credit as I closed down the store I was looking after, and they were still going through. About an hour later they switched off the service on the tills. It's still standing for now. However, the highest grossing store in our region was shut down today, so nobody is safe. We were stunned when we saw one closure in particular and it struck us all with a bit of fear. We've gone from having 20 stores down to, like, 12 in our region. Check this hilarious news story out for an example of Grainger Games and their exemplary standards they hold themselves to. I feel sorry for all the staff affected full stop. They are not the ones that made the mistakes, or caused this to happen, whatever anyones' skillset in retail. Whether they were the best SA or a fucknut behind a till they all lost their jobs for reasons which have nothing to do with them. As for GA/GS preference, it's intentional. I don't understand why people haven't been able to get the gist that Gamestation is targeted at gamers, whereas Game is for everyone and as such has to cater for everyone. Ultimately, though, they operate the same behind the scenes and follow the same practices (as dropped down by the regionals to both GA and GS stores). Not quite, both the GAME stores gone I believe? I remember trying to decide between Fable 2 and Fallout 3 when I was in the larger Game store, and going with Fable. And buying FIFA 09 in the one below Bookers for me and my flatmates to get hooked on. The store below Bookers had some really nice staff working there too. Real shame. Should be back tomorrow with "some changes" according to the GAME twitter. No, other than the massive sale both brands have going on as of 2 weeks ago. Not that there's much good stock left. The stores affected all closed today, for good. Stock is being sent back to the central warehouse (probably to be redistributed to the open stores.) Nope, the company is in administration and therefore cannot pay redundancy, however, the people in question can claim it from the state. Store sit-ins are allegedly happening in a couple of stores in Ireland now.. I hope they don't do themselves more harm than good and go and get a criminal record for trespassing. It sounds like a good idea to fight now (and I strongly believe people should stand up for their rights) but if they're not careful they'll only damage their futures and have themselves to blame. I probably won't be on tomorrow or Wednesday but any questions I'll try and get through them. Though for the most part I know as much as you I hate seeing misconceptions that paint the front line staff in a bad light when it's simply not true - everyone I know has been fighting to keep us going for the past few weeks and should be recognized as having done so.

I am moving out for the very first time on May the 1st. I am so very excited

Yeah, we priced up a huge sale on pre-owned today. Anything that was 12.99 is now 7.98, 7.99 is 4.98 and 4.99 is 1.98/2.98. Mint titles are going in to the sale tomorrow (not that any stores have those, lolol) Also got a slap on the wrist for my social networking ranting antics at work. Or rather, I posted the post above in my blog, and allegedly the higher ups are checking social networking sites to ensure shit isn't being thrown around.

Lumines for the Vita. IT IS INCREDIBLE
