I would imagine it's a similar feeling to when I hear people refer to hockey as "ice hockey." Yes, I'm aware that field hockey exists, but "ice hockey" sounds redundant. It's just "hockey." Or I'll beat you.
On that note... Red Wings are beating my Oilers pretty handedly right now. This makes me sad, and I may have to consume another beer to be able to accept this loss. There's still about four minutes left in the third, though... we could totally pull through.
Whelp, opened up a dispute with this seller on eBay about the Dragon Warrior games that I bought. Hopefully I get my money back.
It was a fantastic deal. At first I thought he was just making shit up when he said that a lot of his documents and whatnot were lost in a fire, but then I scoured the item listing even more closely and managed to Google search some info, and yup... his hobby store burned down in a fire the day after the auction ended (Jan 26). So that does kind of suck for him, I suppose.
My thoughts exactly. He has over 48K feedback and a 99.9% rating, though, so I was willing to trust it when I didn't see any tracking information even though the description said there would be one. Now, I'm fairly certain that they never shipped at all and he didn't get the price that he wanted.
I'm not poor, but I should stop haemorrhaging money sometime soon and start actually saving some again.
