that was the word that did it for me.

I understand now.
You lost the game by your own stupidity and try to blame everyone else in a funny manner.

Let's play some MKII, I fatalize you and we'll call it a day.


*finally someone with a sick mind that could challenge mine*

The only question I have is:
HOW OLD ARE YOU?

With my psychological skills I can make a pretty clear description of your intentions.



I hereby pronounce you welcomed to this forum.
Great entrance :shock:

Moron.

I've been here for ages. Learn to count posts.


Alls I can say to this exact-same-BIP-repeat-loop style of many responses here (cause you all share at least half a brain hemisphere between you) is this -


you won't feel that way when some same thing happens to you.

You'll be all 'oh why didn't i just read the first couple of posts she did and take them in, instead of being a total wanker and pretending i didn't know what she was telling me about'.

Wow these guys at CA Games are stealing your time here and your posts too...

We need to shut those guys down fast...
You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

I live in Glasgow and will now be on the look out for a deranged looking woman clutching a used copy of shiki II and muttering loudly about 4D lizards.

4D interdimensional tacos, to say the least. I'm getting drunk and then re-read this post, it should make more sense...i hope :?

  1. You can prove you bought the game, with the receipt. If it has the time and date on it, and you suspect foul play, ask to see some footage from a security camera. Most shops should have security cameras pointed over the tills.
  2. Involve the police, or trading standards, if you feel the need to.
  3. Did you not think to check the case before you left the shop? -_-;;
  4. First rule of buying second hand: unless you are friends with the owners and counter staff, NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THEM WHEN THEY ARE SORTING OUT YOUR PURCHASES.

    And finally...
  5. ?_? WTF??
    Take a deep breath, and please think before you post. It took me several readthroughs before I could make (some) sense of your posts. ^_-
    (And lay off the Class A's. That stuff is bad, m'kay? ^_-)

I doubt it, man. I'm pretty well toasted on copious amounts of Real Ale's Brewhouse Brown, and trust me, it isn't helping. :)

Who are you referring to?
The people that will maybe just think you lost the thing?

So what exactly happened then?
You are a young person aren't you?
I can e-mail them about this issue.
Perhaps others here can help too.

You bought a shmup right?

So you paid for it and it was not in the bag?
they robbed you?
what happened?

did you go back?
you have a receipt?

talk to the manager
Uh ... err... is that a poem?

Dammit, Landshark. I can't believe you made a post without putting your trademark phrase before the lock.

Come on, say it with me: "We... like... "

Methinks you're all being had. Though it would be funnier if it's not intentional...

Here you go, DTDG. Landshark made a banal comment, Skyline commented how it was the best post ever, and that's how it all started. With me and some others spamming it through the forum (mostly me, though, heh) before some topics get locked. It's funny if you know how it works. It has become more popular here than the venerable "All your base"

Tacos for teh win.

This is the funniest thread ever.

It must be hard losing a game which you spent 20 GBP on, but you make it sound like it has somehow changed the world.

Unless Al qaeda stole it to fund their WMD's I think its safe to put this story to rest and just be more careful of conspiracy theories in future.

If it does happen again send an email to the FBI, they are always looking into new methods that criminals are experimenting with in this age of new technologies.

:lol:
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.
