Tesco sold a woman an empty box; she only released it didn't actually contain a Wii when she was preparing to wrap it.

Ha! You'd think they'd notice how light it was! Was it filled with old shoes?

i was thinking of taking advantage of the shortage this christmas and selling mine for like £400....
....plus i live in hope that one day i will own some games that are actually fun to play  :

I was thinking of doing that with my DS Lite if any parent gets desperate enough! I could just buy another after christmas. And as for some fun games, what about Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid prime? That's clearly a whole two games I can think of that came out recently worth mentioning! TWO!

ManicMatt, do you have a lot of 360's and PS3's in stock? Are they selling well?

Being a little known shop I only tend to stock 1 of each console, and just order another one when they're sold to come in the next day. The 360 sells okay, depending on bundle deal, and the ps3s are slow sellers, but then picked up on the 60gigs when people realised they're discontinued. I'm now having to stock the 40gig edition like everyone else as of today. Bum.

Then you must say "Why I hate Nintendo stockage and delievery system", not "Why I hate the Wii" 

But then less people will read the thread! 

We took a chocolate wrapper and wrote "fully occupied" on it in five or so languages and simply pointed to it every time.

Similiar situation though! I'm thinking of making a new sign saying we have no DS Lites now too! Maybe just write "I don't have anything at all, don't ask me, please leave me alone!"

There are Wii shortages?

I envy you.

monkey_05_06: And what if there are no sudden releases of Nintendo Wiis? I cant see them doing that. I dont have a clue what they're playing at. maybe if everyone plays a Wii word will get around that it's just a gimmick and might get dull like the Eyetoy does after a while. maybe!

This was me in my videogame shop in the past six months:

Customer: "Do you have any Wiis?"
Matt: "Sorry, none."
Customer: "Do you know when you'll be getting any in?"
Matt: "I don't know I'm afraid."

Imagine that conversation, being asked to you, now every 20 minutes in the past few months, 5 days a week. Infuriating, huh? The frequency has been increasing as we get closer to christmas.

So I created a sign! It's on my counter and it reads:

"Sorry, we don't have any Nintendo Wiis in stock"

And next to that, an additional sign:

"...And we don't know when we'll get any in!"

So every 20 minutes I just point at the first sign, and sometimes have to point out the second sign! It makes some people laugh actually. It stops me from going insane!

I've also had to unhook the phone sometimes because 100% of the calls getting through would be Wii enquires.

Please Mr Nintendo, make enough stock of your Wiis and DS Lites and make more profit and keep us shopkeepers sane!

Rant over. Discuss your opinion if you like!

And spiders!

Although I'm okay with spiders myself, except dead ones, *shudder*! Dead bugs creep me out.

As for UNDEAD spiders, I don't know!

Haha! Well my input helped, even if it was for an entirely different set of reasons! Yes, its very clear now that there is no water there under the boa.. airship!

I like the balloon edit KhrisMUC did!

One last thing then.. what stops the airship from floating away? Maybe you have that in mind already, but figured it's worth asking just incase! 

Watched, rated!   

I liked the second part best, it's more exciting!

Didn't Holland get Kane & Lynch, Assassin's Creed, Need for Speed Pro Street, Smackdown 2008, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Crysis, Sim City societies, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario & Sonic at Olympics, Mario Party on DS etc this month?  :o

Or did you mean that was the storm?   

How about some water near the lighthouse as shown, and the structure type thing I've poorly drawn on the boat?

oops, whiteness... I was in a hurry.

Sounds interesting, the last multiplayer San Andreas I played was ages ago, it was just a random team death match. It was a very cool feeling I had when I was in a car by myself, and a gang was chasing me in another car and I drove up the side of a steep hill so they followed, and quickly landed back onto the road, out-skilling (Is that even a word?) my enemy, as they failed to stablize the car and landed on their roof, blowing them all up, hahaha!

I'm fun! Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Okay I'll stop.

"I'm not so manic now..."

Hmm maybe I should think of a thread to post, I haven't actually posted a topic in ages!

*This boring thread is sponsered by The Parliament channel, the exciting tv program that is probably still on air somehow. Watch! A bored man sitting down asleep! Entertainment doesn't get better than this. I say that, but then people will apparently watch people asleep in Big Brother...*

[Inventory items that should NEVER be in a game]

Ooh! That could be a new popular thread!

I'll start here! (Because such a thread will never exist)

Inventory items that should NEVER be in a game:

Dead baby   
Used Condom
Used Tissue
Puke in a bag
A dictionary of racist words
Character's appendix
The old xbox console with the old large joypad (The character would be anchored to the ground with that thing! Ooh that would actually be a funny puzzle)

Okay so my attempts at humour have probably failed... 

The longest journey costs a paltry five pounds in my shop! Runaway 2 is £9.99 on amazon! Those prices are way too high.

I sold way more copies of Pro Evo Soccer on ps3 in my shop than expected because I happened to be selling it at a cheaper price than the competition. Sell cheap, sell more, bigger profit in the long run!

Hooray!!

(How mature of us!  )

Three pages of this thread and no boobies! 

When I first used myspace I never considered that the top friends was in any kind of order. After all, there is no numbering system used. So I have never placed my top friends in any order, except for my girlfriend who was insistant that I place her in the top left corner, or.. in the number one spot.

1.  Your best friend moved you from first position in their myspace friends list to 5th position do you:
B:  (Upset) Ask them about it once you see them in person

If we consider that my girlfriend is the best friend as has me in her "number one" position, if she was to move my placement, I would think that perhaps I have done something to upset her, and would ask her what's up.

2.  Your 2nd best friend moved you from second position in their myspace friends list to 8th position do you: 
E:  (Unperturbed) Not discuss it with them

My real offline friends do not use Myspace, except for my girlfriend, so I wouldn't really care if my online pal Victor moved me to another location on his friend's list. It's his list, and I rarely use myspace anymore.

4.  Someone you hang around with at school/higher education deletes you from there myspace friends list do you: 

Someone from my top list is no longer there. They either deleted their profile or removed me from their friend's list. Either way, I don't even know who it was...

5.  Someone you met at a party the other night and spoke with briefly adds you to myspace and then deletes you the next day: 

I can't EVER see that happening. Ever. "Ooh let's be myspace friends!" hahaha.

don't get anxious, stressed or worried!

Yeah... I'm almost always feeling those. I'm feeling anxious right now and I don't even know why.

Mods, you can have the hair on my chest if you like, make an authentic wig with it or something. 

Hmm, my mother's dad didn't live long enough to find out.. 

Same here Babar.. if I get too bald I'm gonna shave the rest off!

My hair is starting to recede, at 25!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Its getting thin as Babar described.. although my hair has been well looked after..

My girlfriend says she will still love me as a bald guy!

You said nobody has ever said about a style clash before, yet today two people have. So
I looked at your Wip for Henri and the screenshots there show more fitting backgrounds? Maybe you got TOO good! 

Ah well, it's not a big deal in any case, and I still look foward to this much-loved game.

Would these characters look like those 3D models seen in your previous games? Erm.. how can I put this? They don't look attractive enough that I'd want to see any nudity on them. 

Hmm, the background looks so amazing.. but it's a very serious style and the cartoon character doesn't suit it at all. I expect George Stobbart to be there or something! He's also very short, intentional?

EDIT: Ah, KhrisMUC beat me to it, but at least he seems to know exactly what he's talking about..
