Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Барбоса]

Finally gotten around to watching TLC and the presence of Jon Moxley, Tyler Black and Bryan Danielson in a WWE ring together, working an excellent WWE-style hardcore match is spectacular.

So I opened my package from Gamestop to find a rather unpleasant surprise. Yes, my copy of Assassin's Creed III was in the envelope, but inside the AS3 was an Assassin's Creed III disc 2. No disc 1. As in the disc I'm interested in, the one where you can... you know... PLAY THE FUCKING GAME. Now I'm already in a foul fucking mood, so I immediately drove to my local Gamestop, which is, fortunately, a mere two minute drive. I went in and told my problem to the manager, but the store couldn't do anything for me because they can't accept a return for a product that isn't there (which I get, because any shmuck could walk into the store and say that they get the game when they really have it sitting in their XBox at home), and told me that I'm going to have to take it through Gamestop.com. So right now I'm waiting for "the next available team member" on the phone, and I'm probably going to raise hell for them when I get on the phone. They have wasted so much of my time with this that I feel like they owe me more than just the right copy of the game. I want the correct copy of the game tomorrow, or the correct copy of the game in the regular shipping time PLUS store credit.

It's a real fucking shame that Gamestop pretty much has a monopoly on videogame sales right now outside of Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. I like shopping at Gamestop because it's not a megastore and I like supporting the local branches where I always have a good experience. It's shit like this, though, that drives me fucking INSANE. The local branches care about your business because they need it to keep their doors open, but Gamestop.com? They don't need shit from you. This customer service person (if I ever got one), could say, "Tough luck pal, sucks to be you," and hang up, and you know what I could do about it? Not a god damn thing.

Regardless of how this turns out, I am never, ever, ever ordering something from Gamestop.com ever again, ever. I've never had a problem in store, and if I did I'm sure they'd do everything in their power to take care of it. The first time I use Gamestop.com they fuck it up and I have to spend my time fixing it. Fuck them.

I'm pretty livid right now.

...and people wonder why I hate Gamestop.

I love you, JGlass, but did you actually read this sentence?

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I just chalk it up to him being a whiney Jew.

Good, got my racist remark of the day in.

Well, they did fix it on the phone, but I'm never ever ever using their online service again ever. Ever.

I suppose what I should have said is that they have a monopoly on video game specialization. As far as I know, there are no other large chains that deal solely in video game sales. Yes, Amazon, Best Buy, and big box stores deal in video games, but they account for a small fraction of their overall sales.

I love it, though I reckon the apple in honey joke would go over most folks' heads.

Isn't it a Rosh HaShanah food custom or something?

Yeah, it is. I'm surprised someone got it, let alone someone from South Dakota, a land without Jews.

I'm going to pitch an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon reads Mein Kampf, comes to believe he's a member of the superior race and ends up running Wolowitz through with a steak knife. And everybody learns a valuable lesson.

 

[JGlass]

It would never work, most of CBS's audience was alive to remember World War II and would be upset if they saw any signs of the Nazis on their television.

I wouldn't mind this, mainly because I find Wolowitz to be annoying. Though I think it would be funnier if Sheldon was wearing a Red Skull mask as he was plunging the steak knife into Wolowitz.

In turn, most of their audience has Alzheimers so they would likely forget why they are pissed before they picked up the phone to complain...


"I cant beleive they were so insensitive and about.... Ooohhh, sponge-cake! Helen, what am I doing with this phone? What day is it?"

I wouldn't mind this, mainly because I find Wolowitz to be annoying. Though I think it would be funnier if Sheldon was wearing a Red Skull mask as he was plunging the steak knife into Wolowitz.

That could work as a dream sequence then the others come in dressed as the Avengers to stop him. Sheldon wakes up and realizes it was a dream. Then they pan across the room and you see a nazi uniform in the closet. DUN DUN DUNNNN.

I kind of feel like my Winter Break just started today. I slept until noon, stayed in bed until 1, and then I went to the gym, D-Man's house for a Christmas party, and then I came home and played video games. I plan on doing much of the same tomorrow, except instead of going to D-Man's house I'm going to play video games. That or maybe meet IC for football and food. Either way, I don't have to get out of bed until noon.

I went to see This is 40. It was pretty good, typical Apatow film. I'm usually not a fan of filmmakers putting their family in movies, but Apatow and Leslie Mann's daughters were great.

 

[justinsayne]

I'm seeing Django Unchained on Christmas, cause I have nothing better to do that day. I thought about seeing a movie today, but decided not to bother as nothing currently in the theater really looked worthy of my hard earned money.

I'm actually planning on seeing Django as well with a free movie ticket I scored for donating some of my blood. Hopefully I can get the rest of my college friends in on it if they aren't too busy having fun with their families and other gay shit like that.

Yeah, their older girl was a riot in Knocked Up, and the younger one was adorable. I also wanna check this movie out; it looks like a bit of a departure from some of Apatow's films that star more juvenile characters, and I want to see what he does with that.

I'm seeing The Hobbit with my family, but I'd much rather see Django. It's weird, but I'm not that excited for The Hobbit at all, possibly because it feels like they're just doing the whole thing to make a ton of money. Don't get me wrong, I realize that's why the studios make any of the tent pole films, but they're not even trying to hide it with The Hobbit and that's not cool.

I think he found a solid balance between the sophomoric humor his characters are often known for, and making the characters feel more real. Like they had problems other than, "oh no I'm out of weed" or "dude I want to get laid so bad." Plus it didn't feel like it was drawn out like Funny People, which was still a decent film for me but it was close to three hours, which is crazy for a comedy.

Oh and he wrote the absolute perfect character for Megan Fox, who I was unaware was in the film.

I'm with you here. I enjoy the LOTR films, but each time someone mentions The Hobbit I picture Peter Jackson sitting in a money fort. I'm sure my lack of enthusiasm is also helped by my never reading the actual book.

Considering it was originally suppose to only be one film & is now going to be 3 films, yeah pretty clear money grab. I kinda wish Peter Jackson would move away from Middle Earth, & do something different for a change.

That's sort of the feeling I got from the trailers and advertisements. These are people who have reached a time in their life where they miss having their biggest problems be how they're going to score booze or weed, much like Jonah Hill and Michael Cera in Superbad. That's about as much as I can get into character analysis of a comedy I haven't seen yet, but that's what it looks like to me.

A tattoo artist seductress?

Supposedly most of the stuff in the movie is based his actual family & marriage, who are all in the movie.

Plus it didn't feel like it was drawn out like Funny People

Ugh, fuck that movie. if you're going to make a movie called "Funny People", & you're going to fill it with comedic actors, most of which are typically funny, & you're going to sell it as a fucking comedy, then it better be fucking funny, this movie was nothing more than a long drawn out over dramatized pile of dog shit.

Oh and he wrote the absolute perfect character for Megan Fox, who I was unaware was in the film.

Apearnetly since Megan Fox is now a mom, she has annouced she is retiring from being a "sex symbol". So essentially her career is over, cause she sure as fuck can't do anything else.

My good computer went belly-up yesterday for no reason, my PS3 isn't connecting to the internet, and the keyboard on this laptop is garbage.

On the plus side, I finally beat Majora's Mask with all masks today. First time playing through the whole thing by myself at an age where I could really appreciate it. It's solidified itself as my favorite game of all time. Just amazing.
