All aboard the Ship of Fail

They fuck up your system beyond all repair.

Hmmm... interesting. I have a Pro Action Replay for my DS... the only thing that it's done wrong/screwed up? It stopped getting recognized by the system recently. Had a game in it and everything, but the DS would jump to the "No games found" screen. Interact support couldn't figure out what was wrong with the PAR, and kept trying to get me to reset it, so it'd take codes again. That didn't work, so I went out and bought a new one. Works just fine.

I've only heard of a couple of the DS ones flipping out on people and screwing their systems up, more often than not the complaints come from people shoving those stupid things into their PS2s and then bitching when it eats the laser.

Personally, I think the things are shit to begin with. Then again, I am a hardcore gamer, so my preference is to figure it outon my own, slogging through without codes (except on Rock Band, that Unlock All code makes me smile.)

NM: Okay, so these two games. One is $17.99 and the other is $9.99. Which one's cheaper?
Me:

Funeral services for my braincells will be held whenever I find the remains.

When I ask if I can just take it with me and come back, I am stared at like this is the strangest thing they ever heard. They are not that desperate for workers from what I can tell, the hiring manager probably isn't even in, and I'm not in the habit of carting around my references' info.

When I was searching for a job, I'd have my address book with me every time I left the house. Why? I never knew when I'd find a place to apply at and I wanted to be prepared.

But that's just me.

The funeral for my braincells will be closed casket. My brain jumped into the food processor when it came across that little excerpt.

Yeah, I do feel kind of silly when I realize I've left such information behind. Besides that I sometimes pick them up when that wasn't really part of the evening's plans, it's mostly inexperience, and repeatedly forgetting how many people expect you to take up space at their counter to fill it out on the spot even though they have no intention of hiring you on the spot. Besides, just because I'm unemployed or looking for a different job doesn't mean that I'm not busy.

Cool. I could see getting that for my DS, and seeing if I could hack Brain Age to stop seeing 3 as 7 and 4 as 2.

If I could get Brain Age 2 to understand when I say 'rock', 'paper', or 'scissors'. I wind up doing the opposite of what it wants, and usually it accepts it. Maybe that's the point?

I've tried it sitting in my truck, no background noise, with the mic. varying distances from my mouth, and it still can't understand half of what I tell it.
