"Why was my son suspended from Xbox Live until 31/12/9999?"

what is this theft thing? do you have to do some obscure trick to do it, or is it just that MS screwed up and put paid DLC up for free? seems like thats more microsofts fault whatever it is unless people are modding their consoles to do it.

Speaking of "uno = chat roulette", I just stumbled on to this :p

Being a moderator has its highs and lows. I love these highs :p

I almost bought UNO yesterday (PSN) to play with my little cousins.... Damn.
I want them to play online for the first time, not going to happen now.

PSN UNO doesn't have camera functionality

That Gord site is awesome!

So a kid, around 19, signs up a new account. He decides to rent Sled Storm, and then never comes back. Well, ok. Gord left a couple messages to return the game, but no luck.

Eventually the young adult phones and says he returned it. Uh-huh… That's right.

So Gord forwards the account to collections.

One day a few months later this lady walks in and starts yelling about how Gord sent her son to collections and ruined his credit rating so now he can't buy a car or stereo or something.

Gord points out the obvious point that he stole a game and is a poor credit risk.

Then the mother throws the game on the counter and says that the game is now back and I have to fix his credit.

"Ma'am, first off, the game is destroyed. Look at it. Second, I've replaced the game already so I don't want it back. Instead, I seek the money for my cost on replacing it and the late fees he owed. Third, your son claimed he returned it. "

This just sets her off. Something about how it's not her son's fault that he stole the game.

"How is it not his fault?"

"Because I brought it back."

"That excuses the original theft and lying to me?"

"It's not his fault he lied and tried to steal it!"

"Might I ask whose fault it is then?"

Anyway, she starts yelling some more about how her son is never going to rent from Gord ever again. Gord points out that was exactly his point and that he had already closed the account when it was sent to collections. So she stormed out.

The Gord often wonders why people threaten to never come back after they've been told never to return.

:lol :lol :lol

Heh, I used to hang out at Gord's store all the time (Gamer's Edge in Penticton), and I totally believe every story he's posted just because of the shit I saw while I was there.

Looking at your avatar made it funny this time.

I have gotten some balls pics from playing Burnout. it's about 20% balls, and 80% someone giving me the finger. I've seen a great one of a GAFer who didn't know the camera was on picking his noise that was pretty funny.

Very funny. :lol

In the short time I spent playing UNO I saw a naked guy, naked woman masturbating, and a guy getting a blow job from his girlfriend.

:lol

Some people really don't realize that the same laws are applied online. The number of people shouting insults and showing their private parts is quite high. These kids would probably never do that in real life and think everything is permitted because it's online.

Some believe they are hardcore or hot by repeating insults and racial slurs or by showing their dicks. Thanks God there are options to report those who don't deserve the privilege to use a mic and a camera online both on XBL ans PSN.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
The best part is some of these users honestly think they can worm out of it by playing lawyer and arguing over semantics.

One of my favourite sites ever: http://www.actsofgord.com/

This site is classic. I wish he did not give up the store to travel. Some of his stories, while a little suspect on the accuracy side of things, are hysterical. I remember going through most of the archives years and years ago.

One of my all time favorites was his glitched game genie bate story. It would fry the boards of the systems it was put in. He would leave it conspicuously unprotected on the desk next to the entrance. Some kid would swipe it, and then in a week he would get a whole new batch of consoles that needed repairs for board failure. :lol That there is good business.

Man, I'm kinda sad so few people there know what freedom of speech is.

WTF are you talking about? Live is a member service that has a ToS you have to agree to, this "freedom of speech" you are speaking of does not exist because you signed that right away by joining.

That's my point.

Banned people going on about "OMG YOU'RE INFRINGING UPON MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH" when it does not apply to their situation at all.

I never said MS was at fault.

I guess you could say that the ToS is Xbox's version of freedom of speech roulette.

Chat Roulette just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about this overtired "<subject> is Chat roulette" joke (I'm an expert), but not being funny and repetition are huge parts of it. It's not like Gamefaqs where you can become successful by being lame. If you keep posting this shit over on Gaf, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is Gaf users, after reading these posts, are not going to want to reply to any of your posts again, nor will they read anymore of your threads. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but they have alienated an entire fourm with this move.

<subject> is Chat roulette joke posters, publicly apologize and close this thread or you can kiss your Gaf account goodbye.

This one is just as overtired and unfunny unless modded
 
I'm actually upset because numerous times I've played UNO and have never experienced the fucking whackiness that is UNO on Xbox Live. It seems stupid, but sometimes you just want to laugh your ass off.

That gord site is pretty aweosme. reminds me of the one website where the girl writes about the people who go into the adult video section of her movie rental store. Anybody have a link?

"I'd like to buy this game."

"Very well then, that will be $45.60 with tax. Also, do you have a memory expansion for your Nintendo 64? Perfect dark requires it."

"I do."

"Are you sure? It's one of these units that plugs into here."

Gord proceeds to show the customer what he's talking about as the customer doesn't look so bright by holding a Nintendo 64 up and pointing to the memory expansion slot.

Customer leaves, returns with parent. Speech repeats with mother.

They leave content.

Next day, the customer returns.

"This game doesn't fit my machine."

Gord plugs it into his Nintendo 64.

"Seems to fit into mine. Does your machine work with other games?"

"Yes, see?"

<Dramatic Pause>

"Sir, that is a GameBoy Advance."

"Perfect Dark didn't fit!"

"Well, yes, I suppose it wouldn't. So when I held up a Nintendo 64 and pointed out things on it, you didn't say 'that doesn't look like my machine' because…?"

:lol :lol

Damn, I should have done that. Working at a small video store provided me with great experiences. Porn section and its frequent visitors was pure gold!
