The specific store that I worked at closed about a year ago; my boss wanted to focus squarely on the repair aspect of the business. However, there are still Play n Trades floating around (there is still one about 15 minutes away from me that we did the repairs for).

I used to work as a repair technician at a Play n Trade in Richmond, Va. Our store was located across the street from a Gamestop and the manager there absolutely hated us. We had better trade-in values (usually about 30% higher), didn't pressure people for preorders, and we did game system repairs onsite. I would…

Well, Speculoos cookie butter is made with speculoos cookies, which taste like the lovechild of a gingerbread man and a graham cracker.

Actually, if one removes the GPU and replaces the solder with leaded solder, then the repair is actually much more permanent than anything that Sony does, including reflowing. As long as there is unleaded solder and nothing is done to prevent the excess heat from the PSU, then the YLOD is going to come back. Replacing…

If it is a "virgin" board (as in, no work has been previously done to it), then reflowing a PS3 board will bring it back 95% of the time. That is my success rate, anyway.

And Pikachu is supposed to be a monster, but a least he's cute.

There was a guy in an alley that offered to take me to a "space" where he could find the "backdoor" to my "Xbox" but I think he was talking about something else....

*shivers* I thought I had a problem with that dog thing, but this cat is pure nightmare fuel. Is this yokai related to Espurr?

A couple of days ago, I was on the Disney Wiki (because reasons) and on one page, a banner ad for Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher began to play. I usually ignore ads, but I watched this one, mesmerized. I felt like a kid.

I'm not a "left-winger", thank you. Politically, I am an Independent. Hardcore liberals piss me off just as much as hardcore conservatives do.

It should. No one pronounces "faux" as "fox", so it shouldn't be annoying anymore.

People need to learn to gather their thoughts before responding and this sort of thing is taught to children. The fact that people will write a mountain of text about not reading WITHOUT READING says a lot about some people.

The headline is straightforward, yes, but it doesn't give any real explanation as to why people don't read anymore. There are people guessing the reason in the comments, but they could have found out the reason if they read the article. The fact that they didn't see the joke by reading something makes them look stupid.

I am sure that this person is already aware, since people who say "Faux News" pronounce "faux" correctly since they know what "faux" means.

Thing is, they weren't tasked with discussing anything. If people actually read the article, all three lines of it, then they could have realized that the article was about nothing and that they didn't have to do anything.

If people are holding out on getting a Nintendo console because they think the prices are going to drop, they are a bit delusional. First-party Nintendo games seldom drop in price; when they do, it is not very dramatic. New Super Mario Bros U was a launch title for the WiiU and it is STILL about $40 new. And no modern…

Why? Isn't that how human mating works? You mean other girls haven't been subjected to Pavlovian conditioning to take their panties off when they see a condom?
