DigitalPress jacked my 3do games!

[motley6]

Oh man it was like $30 throughout the majority of the auction and I hoped and prayed that all the 3do collectors just missed it. I naively thought that I had found a secret auction that I was going to win for like $50. But low and behold DigitPress came and stole it from me for a grand price of $171. Congratulations you rich bastard. In return for jacking my secret auction you will have to give us a full report on all the games you got and reviews as to expand our limited knowledge on Japanese 3do games. Out.

[-hellvin-]

I don't exactly understand why you're criticizing dp when there seems to be a ton of bids by various people at the end, but whatever. The games do look quite interesting....wonder what's in there?

[motley6]

I am not criticizing him, you fucktard. I was obviously being sarcastic. I am glad he got them because he will be able to share the knowledge because Japanese 3do games are not well documented on the internet. Some people are so dense......

[squidblatt]

I understood your sarcasm, but there's no need to actually get hostile now.

On another note, I sometimes wonder if collecting causes more grief to me than satisfaction. Everyone wants what I want and has more money.

[Iron Draggon]

Hey Joe, if there's a Battle Pinball in there, would you please sell it to me?

[Hollenscythe]

At least there is the consolation that Joe will put the knowledge gained for those games for all to share. Better to lose to him than most people. Still, I bet it burns - better luck next time, eh?

Sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet, quite obviously.
But I think "fucktard" and "dense" come through pretty loud and clear. Easy with tossing around insults.

Good call. There seems to be a lot of that going on around here lately. Gamefaqs is bleeding over to DP unfortunately. They already killed the forum over at Shmups.com :/

As for Joe winning the auction, good for him. When you have a collection as large as his, there aren't all many things that can catch your eye the way a nice lot of Japanese 3DO games can.

[digitalpress]

Hey, motley6 is alright. And dude, sorry for stomping on the auction. I do EVERYTHING these days via esnipe.com so I don't know what the auction is going like. I put my bid in figuring $5 per game would be my max and it looks like that was good enough.

I have a realy good collection of 3DO imports already so my full intention was to fill in the ones that I need from this lot and sell or trade the rest. Someone asked about Battle Pinball which I alerady own, so if it's in this lot I'd be happy to sell or trade it.

Our DP Guide crew is a little weak in the 3DO department so its been my job to do the research. We have the first complete import list that I know of online here, completely built from scratch but there are so many details that need to be filled. So I do tend to jump on 3DO eBay imports. Let's not forget that it was your pal Joe who cracked the code on Virtual Cameraman and even grabbed screenshots of many previously undocumented Japanese 3DO games!

Example!
http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=163248

I'll let ya's know what's in there when the package arrives and you can count on the database getting just a little bit better as well.

Is it just me or the site is getting more trolls these days, seems like kids nowadays don't learn manners very well, I recommend motley6 banned. I see this all over game forums, which kills the enjoyment of the hobby greatly.

[Darth Sensei]

Hey Motley, could you find a bigger avatar?

[imanerd0011]

Not to rub it in anymore Motley, but you didn't bid all that high. Joe won the auction with only a little more than $4 a game bid. To me that seems like a great deal.
I do know how you feel when you think that you are the only one watching a really nice auction, but 90% of the time there are 10 people that feel the same way about that auction. LOL
If I were you I would apoligize for insulting Hellvin, because you don't want to start out on the wrong foot do you? Just some friendly advice.

[Arcade Antics]

Just mellow out and put on Neue Regel and all will be alright again.

[Kid Ice]

Don't fall for Joe's e-snipe story. The truth is that Joe puts spyware on your computer when you become a DP member. Then he makes sport of following various members' online activities, including of course eBay activities.

I have seen him do this in person. He sits at his computer giggling, sweating, and slobbering, saying stuff like "No Mighty Magnor, you are not winning that today!" When he actually wins the auction at the final millisecond, he laughs uncontrollably, and sometimes rolls around on the floor.

Sometimes I will be at my computer at home, browsing the Saturn items on Gooddealgames, and suddenly a PM mysteriously pops up

"So, Kid Ice, do you think $11 is a good price for Astal? In your collection that will come alphabetically between Andretti Racing and Bug!"

He seems to delight in going into these specific details. It does kind of creep me out.

There is really no software solution to this invasion. Your only hope is to make your online activities as uninteresting to Joe as possible (any site that involves "learning" or "education" would be a good start) and never use eBay on the computer you used to register yourself on DP.

Queensryche?

Seriously. QUEENSRYCHE?

Awesome.

How come my avatar has size restrictions when his so obviously doesn't?

[Lady Jaye]

It's called linking to off-site image.

[Flack]

Esnipe is for wimps. What I do is hire a group of thugs to travel with me and physically visit each person who bids against me. Using muscle as persuasion, I make my opposition retract their bids one-by-one until I am indeed the winner.

And while we're there we drink all their milk, too. Straight from the jug.

[Lady Jaye]

You evil Flack! You're the anti-Santa Claus, aren't you? ;)

[Zubiac666]

, you fucktard.

wow :hmm:
sorry but that made me laugh.
Call me sick but I like it when people getting rude without reason.

and I agree with flack on the esnipe-thingy....it's for whimps

*continues playing streets of rage on cube* :D

Hence the common internet term "Bid Reflacktion"

But just you wait. I've got a jug of sour milk in the fridge! Ha haha haha!

You'll pay for that.

[kainemaxwell]

Better person won. They'll be other auctions. :)

[ianoid]

I think it's perfectly reasonable to harass each other harmlessly about bids and stuff. And the initial post seemed quite positive. I hope that guy isn't banned, because of his defensive response to a defensive response. Plus I like the work fu(ktard.

Seems kind of like a reasonable deal for DP. And I hope that he can write it off as a business expense for the guide.

damn, that's why i lost the auction for hitler's "nether-region" hair. I wondered who drank all my milk too.

Of course they drink all the milk. Their growing goons after all and everyone knows that milk does a rabel rouser good.

I can vouch for that. Just look what He did to me when I tried to bid on some rare C64 stuff

Its not only new users who are hostile here. Many of the big posters also.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Yeah I know! Look at what he did to my NAME! (Jk Joe, I love it, thank you again ;))

[Cleatis]

Its not only new users who are hostile here. Many of the big posters also.

I second that.

[blissfulnoise]

This may be a good thread to ask this. I just bought Yu Yu Hakusho for 3DO and it was billed as "complete" but there wasn't an obi card. Did Japanese 3DO games come with them?

[Flack]

I can vouch for that. Just look what He did to me when I tried to bid on some rare C64 stuff

http://www.peculiarpeople.com/Images/Merchandise/gurning%20face.jpg

And if you think that end looks bad, you should see his face!

[soniko_karuto]

It may be true, but you gotta take the requiered actions when the persons act like total morons. Also that guy is a f***cking wuss, you lost, act like the grown up you try to look like. There will be another good one like that, don't just come and try to shove some infounded anger you might have against joe. You are angry at yourself, for not bidding high enough when you could.

[Crush Crawfish]

I think when Joe wins, we all win. He gets cool stuff and we learn stuff about it.

Knowledge is power, you know. 8-)

[-hellvin-]

you fucktard

ahahahaha

man...I should recheck threads more often..

That was amusing. Internet hostility.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Kudos to Joe, I love it when he makes the guide better.

[Iron Draggon]

COOL, I hope there is a Battle Pinball in there! I just wanna check it out and see if it's worth trying to track down a sealed copy, if there even are any. I haven't had any luck yet finding one on ebay, used or otherwise. Is it rare?

BTW, thanks for the tip on how to have an avatar that exceeds the size restrictions here! Check out my BADASS new avatar! WOOHOO! I RULE! :D

[motley6]

I really fail to understand how someone could think that my original post was insulting to Joe or "complaining" because I didn't win the auction. It was obviously sarcastic and congratulatory to anyone but the insanely stupid. And for the whiny cunt that said I should be banned because I made a post in jest about everyone's 3do knowledge being jumpstarted can go run into oncoming traffic.

WANHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ban Him! Ban Him!


http://www.iitk.ac.in/hc/crying_baby.gif



And for the Queensryche insultists, I apoligize for not listening to "meaningful" music like REM and Dashboard Confessional.

Ive been through this before...just ignore it. There will always be people waiting in the shadows to jump out and pick your posts apart. You cant really argue with 10 people. Each one of them is going to find one thing in your post to cry about + theyll all agree with one another. Just keep in mind that the rest of the people who dont give a piss about it wont be +1ing to make you feel better. For every 1 post you find against you, I bet there are 10 more people who laughed at what you said and moved on to the next thread.

[Flack]

I think the moral of this thread is that you shouldn't consider auctions "yours" until the bidding stops.

These are usually the same self-appointed mods who ban people left and right for trivial reasons on their own boards. And those people totally suck.

I just wanted to say that I was one of those that read it and moved on. I also caught the sarcastic tone of your first post.

After reading it, and your reply, I knew you were gonna catch some flack for it though. Why? Because this whole thing is something that could have been talked about over a pm or even in the bender. Not trying to be a junior mod here, (god knows we have enough of them) , Just, does this really need it's own topic in the VG forum?

Also wanted to say that the side stuff going on was great, why I love the gang at DP. Stick around, you'll like it. Were not all half bad.

[digitalpress]

The irony of course, is that the thread was directed and I knew right from the get-go he was being funny. Honestly I don't know how you could miss that and I'm embarrassed that our normally savvy community jumped all over this guy like a pack of dogs.

It may be time to revise the forum FAQ. I need to add "Please do not be a junior moderator. We have enough capable moderators here already. If you find yourself saying 'you shouldn't have said that', please don't."

DP OWNS YOU

[Kid Ice]

I hope everyone understood that my post about DP putting spyware on your machine for the pure evil pleasure of outbidding you on auctions was just a joke. Thought it was pretty obvious, but from the comments that continue to appear in this thread, ya never can tell.

I hate to use this guy. Honestly. But I gotta.

:roll:

[Iron Draggon]

Yeah, I got the biggest laugh out of that post, Kid Ice! You deserve a prize!

You wanna be on Scooter and I's tag team?
We are going up against Sothy, Port, and Butta in a three way Ladder match with POG as the In between rounds girl (woo woo) with Flack and PDF as the ringside announcers. Just don't sit anywhere past the 7th row. Dp's big head will get in the way.

[Kamino]

Yeah I know! Look at what he did to my NAME! (Jk Joe, I love it, thank you again ;))
How the hell did you get that done Ghouls?

Mark today down, but I am in agreeance with POG....i'm somewhat of a forum grump, but even I know the limit, and that outright attacking forum members is not cool.
Flack; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA please never bid against me then. ;)
Kid Ice; HAHAHAHAHA not possible, i get plenty of good ebay deals.
Joe; Can't wait for the info on japanese 3d0 games! I can only hope it was a better system in japan.

[-hellvin-]

What's amazing about this whole ordeal is when I said criticizing (I dunno, bad word choice I GUESS) was the fact that all I meant was the auction was never his in the first place. It could have gone to:

retrogamer74
glanaoorce
fasteddie1986
haileycandy

...but dp put in a smart bid and won.

It's ebay. It's viewed by multitudes of people and almost all of them snipe. None-the-less, I'm looking foward to some reviews on the games. ;D

[Berserker]

On a semi-related note, someone recently stole all my candy and left a SMB/Duck Hunt cart as "compensation", naturally I suspected Digital Press & Co. had more than a little to do with this unfortunate incident.

I guess now the only thing left to decide is whether to burn it outright, or send it to MarioAllStar as a nice coaster to accompany his one-of-a-kind table.
