Hey, just because I have hair doesn't mean my hairline isn't receding. Having a receding hairline doesn't mean you're bald, it just means you're creeping up in the corners, if you know what I'm saying.

A wise man by the name of Billy Joel once told me at a concert, "You shouldn't see it as getting less hair, you should see it as getting more head." With that said, I have a full head of hair that I intend on keeping for as long as possible, but I'm also not an old man like Lindy.

Even though I'm old, I've never minded getting more head.

You get that game yet?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #53 on:** July 25, 2008, 09:18:18 PM »

Nope, still waiting. Believe me, you guys will be the first to hear. I normally love Amazon, but they seriously dropped the ball on this one.

Guess what? I PLAYED Space Invaders with the paddle yesterday, makes for a great experience!

This is ridiculous. You know, at this point I could have put my copy of Spiderwick Chronicles to good use and traded it in for SIE at Gamestop.

Sigh.

Got my copy of Space Invaders Extreme in today, looks like you lose the shipping sweepstakes Jon.

WHAT THE HELL. Amazon is usually so good too, I don't know what the deal is.

I reported to them that you have been attacking the huge holiday sellers that happen to be casual games, and in turn they decided to delay your shipment. Sorry but I had to do it for ethical reasons!

It's not my fault that the Wii is always #1 on their Best Sellers list. IT MUST BE STOPPED.

Not enough copies of S.I.E. to go around, I suppose, but I got a copy 2 to 3 weeks ago at my local EB.

I've had mine over a month now....can't really imagine living with out it....just sayin.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #62 on:** July 26, 2008, 10:01:57 AM »

I complained, so Amazon wrote me back and pretty much had no answer for me. Time to head down to GameStop with Spiderwick in hand to end this madness once and for all.

D_Average · « **Reply #63 on:** July 29, 2008, 11:21:13 PM »

Its the 29th, still no arrival?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #64 on:** July 30, 2008, 10:54:00 PM »

I had to go out to Best Buy to pick it up. I haven't had a chance to play it just yet, but I will over the next day or so for sure.

Dude, don't use Amazon to get your games! I have been cheated out of stuff from Amazon WAY too often to ever go back. There's a Penny Arcade that perfectly captures my feelings on Amazon:

Gabe: Have you gotten Space Invaders Extreme yet?*
Tycho: Nope, I ordered it using Amazon's "you send us money, we never ship it to you, ever" feature!
Gabe: Wow. You should check the mailbox. What if it came?
Tycho: *checks* Nope, not here!
Gabe: It'll be some awesome when you don't get it.

*That's not the game they're discussing in the comic, but it works here.

I've had the game since its release, and it continues to doll out awesomeness on a daily basis.

Amazon rules. Just ask Nick.

On the bigger games (Soulcalibur IV, Madden '09) they now offer Release-Day shipping, so you're pretty much guaranteed to get it on the day of release.

However, every once in a while they do screw you, especially on pre-orders. They're improving on that front, though.

So when do we get our Part 2 on the video with a Mr. Wizard like presentation of how the game operates with and without the paddle??

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #68 on:** August 05, 2008, 08:53:42 PM »

I'll crank it out this week.

Sweet.....
