Stupid Target

[Perndog]

They blocked gaming websites yesterday. So now I can read all the comics I want at work and screw around on message boards, but I can't get to Gamespot or Wizards.com or anything. And they really went to some extremes. Even the Tokyo Game Show website is blocked.

And blizzard.com and battle.net are blocked, but starcraft2.com still works. Trying to stop all the WoW players, I bet.

Why don't you try selling videogames instead of dreaming about videogames, you videofreak.

You've really fallen from grace since Camp Snoopy closed. How dare you.

[Dr. V]

CAMP SNOOPY CLOSED?!

[Perndog]

Camp Snoopy didn't close. The Mall of America owners (damn Canadians) seized it from Cedar Fair, laid off all their entertainment (including me) and a year later dropped the Camp Snoopy license because they didn't want to pay for it. The park stayed open with a generic name.

That was a college job anyway. I couldn't survive on it now that I have to actually pay for food and housing. Target's not bad for a little while. I'm only staying here until I go back to school next year.

BUT the Mall has a new licensing agreement with Nickelodeon and everything's going to change next spring. They still don't want to hire my band for more than a handful of special gigs yearly (only two parades this summer ), but I'm trying to find a corporate sponsor to pay us full-time salaries in exchange for putting their name all over us and performing in the amusement park.

Use it wisely, my friend.

[Grislygus]

Wow, ubrl337 h4xx0rz.

[Fathom Zero]

Ummm... They typically detect proxy avoidence sites as well.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Fuckbeans. Try it anyway.

Thank God i dont work in a place where they deny their employees the joy and grace the internetz and all it has to offer. Think of a world without random clips of japanese game shows, or videos of random people breaking themselves in some way.

I have Websense issues, too. And a quick FYI, if you want to check out the WoW website/forums, try the https version. Not typically blocked.

What's funny is that I've never had any interest in playing World of Warcraft before, and now that I made this thread I have a scary huge desire to run out and buy it. The only thing that's saving me is that my computer is six years old (well, the important parts are, at least) and could only barely run the game. But I still almost went and dropped $800 at Newegg last night on impulse.

[EndersGame]

WoW is lord. Go out and buy it

[Guitar Woman]

Yeah, while you're at it why don't you also get Minority Report and Red Faction 2, you will love them

[Fathom Zero]

Fuck You if you're being sarcastic, but Red Faction 2 is a great damn game.

[Guitar Woman]

I hated it. Then again, I also hate Enter the Dragon and The Doors, so my taste in pop culture may not be that fantastic.

[Guitar Woman]

Also, I was playing the GameCube version, that might have had something to do with it. But I doubt it.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Both of those are awesome

[Guitar Woman]

Minority Report and Red Faction or the sub-par bruce lee movie and the rock band that is fueled by basically nothing but a 60's midi of a rock organ? Because either way, you know.

[McClain]

WoW is beckoning. Hand your life over. Married? Get a divorce. Working? Quit that shit. Have any interest in self-preservation? Fuck that. Living with your parents? Okay, that's actually fine for this setup. Actually play other games? You'll forget about them all.

The latter.

Shit made me lol.

[Dr. V]

Oh I just realized other parks owned by Ceder Fair have camp snoopys in them. Too used to Knott's.

[Fathom Zero]

Cedar Point has it, no?

[Esuohlim]

Yeah and it's sweet let me tell you

[Perndog]

I'm actually working a day job AND trying to get a music career started, so I haven't played a single minute of video games for months. I'm busy like 14 hours a day.

But I'm taking a leave of absence from my job in January so I can focus on my trombone playing (grad school auditions in Feb), which will leave a good five hours a day free. Think I can get to level 70 in five weeks at that rate?

[noob3]

uh why not grow some hair instead
