Re: Off Topic 2012

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care about Black Ops 2.

Join the club, me and my best friend gave up on that franchise while everyone else in our group are freaking out over it. Just hasn't been the same to me since MW2

Count me in as well. I never really got into the CoD series.

Me too...I just don't play the hot FPS games nowadays....I tend to prefer the other types of games, especially since I don't have the 5 hours a day to play online that seems to be required to not suck nowadays.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I've been away from COD games since MW2, but with almost 300 hours tied up into Battlefield Multiplayer, it's time for me to try something different again.

Battlefield series has far and away been the superior of the two for myself and my friends, since Bad Company 2. I'm buying this just so I have some people to play with, again. A lot of the BF3 clan has called it quits and even though I have some friends playing, it's too hard to get a squad up and the game blows without a good squad.

I thought I was going to have to give the girl at the register a lesson in basic Math skills. I used a few gift cards and had a total of 11.49 and I gave her a 20 dollar bill. She gave me back 51 cents and said thanks have a good day. I looked at her and said, "I think you owe me 8 more dollars." She said "No, I accidentally typed 200.00 and I only owe you 51 cents."

I stepped out of line to not make a scene and waited for the person behind me to checkout and then I walked back up and put the receipt on the counter and explained, "I gave you a 20 dollar bill for something that cost 11.49, the math doesn't add up. I think I'm missing eight dollars". Then she realized I was right and gave me my change.

In her defense, it was chaotic in there with pre teens and their mothers and the phone wouldn't quit ringing. I was nice about it, but I wasn't going to leave without my money.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Don't care for the series as a whole, but I love military themed games, so I just bought it. They only had 5 copies left. All Xbox 360 version, no PS3 copies left.

The five dumb old bitches I work with are all sitting around on break right now being all sad over one of those shows on Investigation Discovery about child abduction.

If someone wanted to abduct and murder me right now I probably wouldn't argue.

Jesus ****ing Christ, Marlins.

Don't the Marlins firesale every like 3 years or whatever? Why are we surprised about this?

I actually don't think this is an awful move. Clearly Reyes and Buerhle didn't work out, perhaps it's just best for them to cut there losses at this point. I don't think they got quite enough in return, but I don't blame them for making the deal.

Also, there are petitions in 20 states to secede from the union... you'd think they'd have learned from Jefferson Davis about how well that ends...

Re: Off Topic 2012

This will be the third actual "firesale" in the franchise's history (which spans only 20 years, so yeah) but by far the worst one. And the one after 1997 was e.pic. I bought a Josh Johnson AND Reyes shirt before last season. I could cry right now.

Yep... win the World Series in '97? Get rid of your entire roster. Win it again in '03 with a completely different nucleus? Sell 'em all. Good business model...

Not sure I'd say the worst one. We don't know that yet. Who knows? Maybe they surprise you and become a contender.

And they will win another WS in like 3 years. Quit your complaining.

Re: Off Topic 2012

How could this be the worst one when this team amounted to absolutely NOTHING? The 1997 and 2003 teams both resulted in World Series wins and the management still sold those players off. Those two were infinitely worse.
