So my new TV finally arrived a few days ago but you must know by now how upset I am that I’ve waited for more than 1.5 months for it. I ordered it on Boxing Day and had to spend hours hunting it down with Future Shop and when they finally made the arrangements [...]
So after waiting over a month and making several phone calls, I finally tracked down the number for Fuckershop’s head office. I called and talked to someone who said that they’d pass it on to the appropriate department and I’d hear back within 4 hours. And someone actually did call! To say [...]
On my 5th call to Fuckershop my ‘problem’ with my order was escalated a 3rd time. What does that even mean anyway? Escalated to what? The guy says “This time we should hear something because I’m going to be very description in my report to show just how long this has been [...]
So here we are the 16th of January. My TV has been marked as “Successfully shipped” since the end of December. And where do you suppose my TV currently is? According to customer support, it’s still IN THEIR DAMN WAREHOUSE!! I can understand that the holiday’s may have caused some delays [...]
So I did a bit of shopping around and I’ve found a TV stand I like. It’s more than I was planning to spend, even though it’s currently half price. These things have gotten expensive over the last few years! It’s pretty slick looking though with glass shelves, metal posts and a [...]
It’s absolutely mind boggling to think of the amount of product a company like Futureshop goes through over the holidays. Take their current boxing day sale as an example. Many of the TVs they have on sale were available in quantities of 3000 or more, and they’ve sold out! I finally cashed [...]
There’s so few good shows on during the summer months that we hardly watch TV at all until right about now when all the new seasons start up. I was pretty disappointed when I found out that 2 of my favorites from last year have been canceled though. Reaper and Terminator were both [...]
This ‘old’ 53″ rear projection Panasonic I’ve got is a nice TV, but the TV and entertainment center combined are taking up a rather large chunk or our living room. I’d rather have a nice slim LCD or Plasma, something around 50″, and a TV stand to put it on. It’s an excuse [...]
DVI is so outdated, it’s really only used for computer to LCD monitor connections these days but even that is going to fade out. A new GeForce 8600GT that I sold this week has DVI/HDMI/Component connections on it and I expect that as time goes on, HDMI will become a standard feature. I’ve [...]
Family Guy is definitely one of my favorite animated shows, along with Simpsons and American Dad. Season 6 was just kicked off with a special hour long episode spoofing Star Wars Episode IV and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It’s been years since I’ve watched Star Wars or any spoof of it and this [...]
I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite shows. And now that my kid is 3 she’s starting to really like it too. So I get to watch them all over again, and honestly, they hold up really well. 20 years later and it’s [...]
Just watched the final episode. It was good. Very good. Not quite as action packed as the one before it, but it does kinda wrap up a lot of the little stories. SPOILER ALERT don’t read the rest if you haven’t seen it yet.
Can’t wait to see tonights Sopranos, last weeks episode was great. More action in that one episode than in the entire Season 6’s 19 previous episodes. That’s pretty bad actually. I used to really enjoy the show, but the last couple seasons were going downhill. Not that I hate the show now or dislike it [...]
In a nutshell, good ending for volume 1, confusing ’start’ for volume 2. Is it going to be entirely set in the past? Or was that just a glimpse due to Hiro’s time travelling? I assume Nathan went boom, but I wonder why couldn’t Peter just fly up himself? I guess [...]
