About Me
Check out my tumblr for more NVGR stuff.

I like games. I usually don't have much to say that wouldn't be considered failblog, but in the rare occasion that I have something interesting to say, it will go here.

My passions is programming. I'm considering going into game design, but as of now I'm leaning more towards internet security.

My current gaming obsessions include:
BlazBlue!
Mass Effect (Which I was playing through before BB came out. I'll need to go back and finish it at some point.)
Gamer Profile

Look what I finally got! [Short/failblog]

After nearly 2 months of desperately calling my local gamestop every other day. Hooray. So how did I do it?

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product_ID=73049

Said that I there were 3 Gamestops that had them in stock, so I called each one and lo and behold, one of them had one! So I got in my car and booked it to a random Gamestop 20 miles away from my house and purchased one! Yay me!

You're right, this is a failblog. You're forgetting the first rule of Dtoid. Don't suck!

That's awesome, you wasted a 150 bucks on something you'll only use for a tiny handful of games and it only gives you a minor advantage. Kick ass.

Hey, maybe he'll go on to become the greatest Street Fighter player in the world and receive the three F's (Fame, Fortune, and Fine Bitches), and it will all be because of this useless obsessive buy.

fail.

When the FUCK did the internet become such FUCKING CEREAL BUSINESS?!??

For the fucking love of god.. Alot of you guys just seem fucking bitter at life that people have nicer things than you and know how to enjoy their lives.
Just jump on the fucking hate-train and groan about how 150 bucks is too much to spend on an arcade stick, but then you see the custom stick makers out there charge just as much, if not MORE than that for a stick of equal or lesser fucking quality.

If someone were to post this SAME fucking blog but it was a custom stick with fucking BENIMARU on it or something all the fucking haters wouldn't have said a fucking word. But no, since it's something popular that you don't have the fucking passion to care about, you feel good by trying to devalue somebody else's purchase. ugh FUCK YOU. Stop fucking hating for the sake of hating.

I agree with Rab, but with far less anger.

Nice stick! I don't have a problem, nor am I mad that you posted this, but it really could have gone on the forums, as opposed to a long pick-up thread with tons of pictures.

Nice get Burrito! If only you had SF on the PS3 then I would test your usage of it.

ToiletDuck, that "stick off" sounds a little bit like you're comparing dongs, but whatever man, I don't judge. :)

Nice pickup, Burrito. Your perseverance has paid off. Enjoy!

Nice find! I'm so jealous right now. I've been checking my local Gamestops weekly and amazon.com daily for a TE stick. I actually found brand new ones on amazon.com one day and promptly ordered. The next day I woke up to an email saying my order was canceled due to a lack of stock. =(

Also, I'd like to say, I agree with RAB and would like to add that if any of the OG dtoid members posted a blog of this length with similar content, nobody would dare call it a failblog. Shit is kinda hypocritical if you ask me.

Case in point, Daedhead8. Agreed.

@Char
Hahahahaha. I was wondering when someone would call that shit out.

I really don't get it! What's sad is when the newbs who actually come in with a sick first post go to Zero's blogs and post "fail-blog", they get ran out of town.
