Star Wars: The Old Republic grace period
Heh, so I thought I could do a mini rant here about a lie by Stephen Reid about the grace period.
See, I don’t fall for the “Head of customer relations doesn’t know about grace period” gag. Doesn’t make sense, he had to know or he’s definitely a bad employee. So what’s the issue, you ask? In a post in August he stated, no ambiguity, that there was a grace period where people could play temporarily while they wait for their physical game box to arrive.
As of today, grace period is no more! Those people who bought physical editions won’t be able to play after the 20th December until their boxes arrive (providing they get to play prior to the 20th December at all). Ah, the rage was tremendous – roughly two pages of posts every 30 seconds, it hit 4000 posts in about an hour and a half.
Of course, there were the defenders who tried deflecting the blame to EA, and others who deflected the blame to Bioware, and even others who said there were no lies and things change. Since this is the XD Project where we are right and the world is wrong I’m going to go ahead and state categorically that those people are morons. That is all.

So there’s no better time for a rant than when you feel like just letting loose, so here goes:
It was fine all day, playing around, getting stuff working, downloading stuff, making the internet work the way I wanted, setting up some basic settings and preferences, installing Opera and all that sort of stuff. Sure, some of it took ages to get working but the whole time I was getting closer and closer and closer and learning more and more. It was about 5 minutes ago while Read the rest of this entry »
I’m not really a ball of rage (edited)
I thought my posts of late had tended to become angry rants and generally involve venting hatred towards particular people or objects, so I thought I’d write this post in defense of myself. Firstly, I’m not a violent sort of person, I haven’t hit anyone for years, and the only people I’ve ever hit in my life are brothers, so can you really blame me? I’m not a fighter, and I’m not a lover. Hell. Ha. Lover. Giggles. I once knew a lover, but that story is depressing so it’s not for this site.
Anyway, the point of this was to just say “Hi” and let you all know Read the rest of this entry »
It all started when I got out of bed…
Yeah, if I’d just stayed in bed, I wouldn’t have had any of these ‘awesome’ (note the quotes there…by Jove, they mean something!) experiences. Got up at 7, showered, and ate breakfast, that was all pretty normal, nothing strange about that. Jumped in the car at 7:35 and started driving to work, and let me tell you people, thar be idiots out thar, aye. Yar, the idiot population do be on the increase. I got just past the egg farm on the road I live on, and traffic was stopped. For the next six or seven kilometres it was party time. If I hadn’t forgotten the chips and coke, today would have started amazingly. Just so you know, this isn’t a rant about a traffic jam, there’s enough of those already, so this is more specific.
After much partying and enjoyment, I reached the motorway, to find it resembling something like a full carpark, kinda like Garden City on a Thursday night if you know what I mean. Read the rest of this entry »
