Stilton: Hi people. How's your day going/been/coming along?

dfektive: Ello ello. *tips hat* Day is living up to the Tuesdays of past.
Going to be grabbing the Classic bundle along with Witcher 1+2 I think. Were suggestions and seem to be at a good sale price atm. How goes the pillaging?
Hi deef :-) (don't think I've ever called somoene, even a llama, 'deef' before...)

I had one of your, 'jeez, I'm dealing with a total crapskull here' moments this morning. Scroll back if you haven't seen it, its almost beyond belief.

Good to see your collection's growing. You'll have three or four hundred games in no time, just watch :-)

This is kinda funny. Simultaneously looking forward to and dreading a full Gold Box series run at the same time.

EndreWhiteMane: Hi there, going between cooking lunch and checking here. Good day so far, how about you'se?

Stilton: I had a bit of fun today. I went for the last appointment before my hernia op (remember that?) and it went differently to the way I'd expected.

...
Had a few of those moments myself, I too call the doctor an idiot if that's the case.

dfektive: Goodbye Turkey. Was swell knowing you.

CarrionCrow: Not getting my hopes up. People are undoubtedly going over every shred of documentation and data regarding the encounter. One side or the other will be clearly at fault. If it's Russia, they paid in money and possibly blood. If it's Turkey, they'll going to get some prolonged grovel time in to make up for the mistake.
The shooting at the pilots as they parachuted down is a biggie. If they return those guys from Turkey with bullet holes in them Putin will have a fit.

Oh yeah they will. And it won't be too hard to tell. If they're shot while parachuting, that would probably mean that the fighter jet hit them with cannons made to tear metal to shreds. The pilots will be shipped back in a couple garbage bags in that case, complete with the need for a Humpty Dumpty-style reconstruction effort after.

Just doublechecked to be sure. F-16's mount 20 mm Vulcan cannons. Can't find full info right off the bat, but I'm still willing to bet those make slightly bigger holes than the terrorist standard AK-47.

CarrionCrow: Where do such people come from? The land of stuck-up, condescending shitbags. Might not be on any map, but it's the largest continent in the world by far.

Glad to hear you knocked the fuckwit down a few pegs, but it was also a waste of your time in general. Hopefully you can get someone who doesn't project the aura that they couldn't be trusted as the assistant manager of a shitty fast food joint, let alone cutting people open.
It was amazing and disappointingly common - there are so many of them around. I was happy to drop it when I left, but I wrote a recap of the encounter to the place the idiot works, not in the hope that anything will be done - it won't - but to warn them if they don't already know that a complete imbecile is in their midst.

Even basic hygiene rules weren't observed. I know my meat and two veg aren't crawling with leprosy, but he didn't, so he should've washed his hands before using what is a communal pc to write his hammer blow summing up. Fuck knows what he might have passed on to me...

If that's a bit too much information, apologies :-)

Stilton: I had a bit of fun today. I went for the last appointment before my hernia op (remember that?) and it went differently to the way I'd expected.

The 'specialist' started off by asking why I was there. My folder was on the desk in front of him, so he knew why I was there, but he wanted me to tell him why I was there. Self important arsehole.

I explained to him why, so he examined me and declared that he couldn't feel a hernia. I told him my doctor can feel it well enough, and that the ultrasound scan proved it was there along with the discomfort its giving me.

Doctor Odd still refused to budge. "I can't feel it so it isn't worth going," was pretty much his response.

Mine was, "That's bullshit."

He didn't like that, me challenging his brilliance, and switched to haughty mode and attempted lecturing me about being cultured and to not use language which "didn't fit the room."

I said, "That's crap." To be honest his behaviour was complete crap as well.

His denouement was that he would 'write everything I had said in his report.'

Like I gave a shit. I told him to carry on and to also put in that he was fifteen minutes late for the appointment. This was the first appointment of the day, no backing up of patients. No excuse for being late.

He clammed up after that and I left feeling glad a dick like that wouldn't be touching me with a blade. I'd felt from the start that it wasn't going to happen - him late, brainless and contradictory diagnosis, telling me it wasn't worth his effort, his reaction to me challenging him.

Where the hell do these people come from? In his case it was Poland.

So its back to the doc tomorrow to see if there's somewhere else I can get it done. What a joke.
Had a visit or two like this. It's always fun when you can hit them with something that leaves them silent and searching for a way to end up "back on top" of the situation.
I'd definitely look for another place to head for treatment, preferably one without a goon like that on the other side of the table. Hope it isn't bothering you all too much now with you having to wait longer to have it taken care of.

It will be nice to try out a few new games. Idk about my collection being in the hundreds any time soon though. I like to reeeeally enjoy the games I play. Goal is more along having a selection to jump around with when I've hit my fill or walls with one title. = )

This is such bad news. Like the way Saddam Hussein had allied bodies disfigured to cover up the illegal treatment that had killed them. Anything goes out there, however it contravenes the law, ethics or anything else.

-laughs- That's how it starts. "Hey, there's some cool stuff, let's get that. I'll play it, enjoy it all, then I'll go back for more."
But after a few months...a few sales...just a hop, skip and a jump, then it's all aboard the S.S. Compulsion, full-bore express right into having more games than you can play in a life, and still hunting for more.

It's not bad all the time, but it can spike and then I know about it. I'll be 'hanging in there' - if that's an okay term to use in the circumstances - until an alternative is found.

The good thing with the sales is the same stuff eventually comes around again, so if you want something specific but pricey it usually isn't that long until you get another chance.

Is it just me or can I hear maniacal laughter accompanying this post?

Ooh, thanks for finally adding the real essentials! ;) The Airplane movies were quite funny. I'm not often a fan of "slap-stick" comedy or whatever you call it, but I always had a soft spot for these for some reason.

*Reads about Stilton's Doctor-Who-Hired-This-Arsehole experience*
Eep! I've had a couple really odd experiences like that, and it's as odd as it is frustrating. Good thing you saw that side of him before going under the knife, at least. Best to find someone with more thinkyparts upstairs, I'd think. :)

Can put anything on that not being me. My likes are very limited and I don't buy on reflex to shiny deals. I've read up on a list of games already that I've passed on. Of the 12 titles I have now only 5 were the reason I'm here, others were lumped with or freebees. I'm not saying I probably won't end up with more then I want to have but can't see myself hitting the numbers of some here. That is just far too much gaming that will never be touched.. o.o

Dang, that's terrible. What an asshole. I hope you'll be able to find a better doctor who can help you.

Yes it does. I currently have about 150 things on my list. So what do I think while I'm grabbing coffee? That I could totally go for watching all of Archer again.
