I'm just a big fan of minimalist design. Less is more.

They should pay me if they want me to do that shit.

Absolutely. Clean style is always in style. Buying an A&F shirt and becoming a walking advertisement for Abercrombie and Fitch just means you'll have another shirt to toss out in the near future.

It doesn't matter so much what you wear, but you how feel about yourself. Don't give up on looking good - that won't do you any good at all.

I forgot the clever undertext.

8 USD ain't much of anything.

I agree entirely. I just don't like the prospect of taking heavier losses than I'm already taking. TLDR is the lazy way out of things. I'm sure there's something you'll like in there. This is a single, isolated incident. It ought to serve as example of what happens when two parties can't compromise.

What's the rule, exactly? You can't slaughter the other team and make them feel bad?

Problem solved before it starts

Probably good advice for the future. I'm hoping that there's nothing actually wrong with the PS2 when it comes back to my hands. I could content myself with losing $80 USD over two months time on a perfect-condition PS2, or I can keep screwing around in the forums and laughing to myself.

Read the above. I sold off my Playstation 2 last week to some woman. We had agreed on a price before she came to my home to collect the PS2. After looking through the accessories and examining the unit itself, she decided that she didn't like the power cord. The plug is a Chinese/Japan-type that isn't standard in Malaysia (UK plugs). Boohoo. She asks me to shave off RM10 from the previously arranged price, which I agree on. She leaves with my PS2 and pays me RM440, or about $120 USD.

I bought that damn thing only two months ago in Shanghai, China for $180 USD with all its accessories. It's fully chipped and the like. The next day, she sends me an SMS at 5AM telling me that one of the controllers is faulty and that its shoulder buttons aren't being detected ingame. Bullshit. I had just been playing Gran Turismo 4 and Neo-Contra on the PS2 the day before she picked it up from me. We hammer out a compromise and I agree to give her RM50 towards the purchase of a new controller. So here I am, left with only RM390 or $106 USD after selling off what is essentially a brand new PS2.

She just started sending me PMs on the forum linked above, telling me that the PS2 has been hanging during gameplay. Supposedly the PS2 works only with 110V - Malaysia uses 220V. Once again, pure bullshit. I've used the PS2 with both voltages. I like Sony products for one reason - their adapters are always universal and can be used with both 110V and 220V.

So now she asks for a refund of the PS2. She wants to return the PS2 to me and at the same time, demands that I give her RM30 in compensation for her time and her gas costs. That's $8 USD only. Granted, it's a small amount of money. That's the background behind what you see above :]

Ever since Apple started using Intel processors and Bootcamp was unveiled, there's not much to whine about in terms of software incompatibility.

Now do you have anything to say about the people who are being labeled as emos, outside of artists? What defines 'emo'?

Recently, on the portal, i have noticed that the snake games are trending tword no boundries, so you just keep going around and around. Is it just me or is this really happening?

Nokia's Snake II has been out for how long? It's had the removal of boundaries.

I believe the forum is already using the new tank. It's not quite as clear as your icons because the ones in use right now are smaller.

The alcohol gets boring, smoking is something that I will never take up, and the legal sex takes time to get. If that's all you're living for though, then what's the point of living?

Response to: Weird eating habits Posted July 20th, 2006 in General

I find that I get rather upset watching people eating without sticking to Western table manners. I find it disturbing to have to listen to someone banter on at the dinner table with their mouth full of half-chewed food. I've stopped eating at times because of this.

The Japanese invent silly methods to keep clean after taking a dump. Why bother with toilet paper when you can have your ass sprayed with a fine jet of water? TOTO has been advertising toilets with the water jet here in China - I saw an ad running on the subway today.

I wonder just how far your thread will go.
