it is a total scam. they make it near impossible to actually stop it happening, no matter how many times you tell them not to. then when you do finally find the right section, ignoring the section they continually link you to, they do the whole song and dance of 'are you sure you want to cancel?' 'really sure?' 'you will miss out on these great benefits'
That's proper U.S. customer service right there, just like that twenty minute call of a bloke trying to switch his ISP...
yup. they must have sensed that I was about to send them a hate filled message of threats because their 'contact us' system is currently down.
until about mid February no doubt...
sounds about right. just got another email from Xbox now telling me that my subscription is going to expire and I need to take steps to renew it. on the one hand, getting more mail from them is a pain, on the other hand I hope that means the cancellation actually worked.
fingers crossed
That's pretty much my take as well, Nintendo screwed up big time with the Wii U marketing and branding. The sales are turning around which is obviously great, the last thing the gaming industry needs is for Nintendo to pull out of the console space.Quote:

Two months later after I had forgotten that I was trying to cancel renewal, I finally got it sorted after having to go through a literal torrent of "are you sure" messages and intentionally obfuscated webpages designed to drive consumers insane before they can find the actual "cancel renewal" prompt. Oh, and they still charged me for those two months too where I didn't even touch my Xbox 360. It's absolutely disgusting and goes to show how the big corporations are allowed to get away with what essentially amounts to theft, I was so disappointed and never bothered to renew again. I reactivated it for a month with my Xbox One with the free voucher that came with the console but chose not to renew the subscription, not until Halo 5 comes out anyway.Quote:

Continue, has continued to spread expansion in history "PlayStation" hardware fastest ever.
And I'm yet to buy one! But I will. Oh yes.
And that XBone for my friend, because I said I would and I'm a goon of my word.

UnbeWiivable.
So a new joystick?
Dunno.
But Gamergaters will be waking up to the fact that, yes indeed, PC's are now technically getting more than them too.
doubt it :p
Nah you're right.
It's not gone 3 pm yet. They'll still be in their bed.
It's actually not a bad idea, it's just really crappy that it seems to be being marketed in a 'buy this and give your boyfriend better sex' kind of way.
you wouldn't want anyone else using your controller though would you? sounds rather expensive.
You'd need a detachable, washable bit you can pop off and clean after use. There was a controller with a vibrator element a few years ago, depending how well you did in a certain game the feedback to teh vibrator varied so the better you did the more pleasure the recipient user would get. I only read about it sadly.:p
some sort of erogame? or whatever they're called?
as if you don't know...Quote:

just found a little gem of a game called Choice of Robots - it's basically an entirely text-based (no graphics or sound effects) Choose Your Own Adventure / Interactive Novel that has you be the creator of the first sentient robots etc., with lots of choice on how to design them and what to do with them (fittingly, I've only just gotten around to finally watching Battlestar Galactica :)) There are lots of paths to take (seventy odd achievements, got 6 on my first playthrough), and wildly diverging ones as well. It's on Steam for a mere {insert the appropriate, but almost definitely single digit number of your local currency here}, much recommended if you like that kind of game!
It is indeed £3.99 in local currency.
And far too addictive. Bought it on your recommendation and played through two complete stories. Died once.
Became world renowned in history books and a billionaire in one.
Comfortably wealthy and nationally famous in another.
also mad ai anime mechas in one of them :D
I've only managed one playthrough so far - basically ruined home country by not supporting war effort, got jailed and then pardoned, other than that mostly peaceful life doing a lot of good for humanity. Next up is creating Cylons basically... :)
I was pursuing a surgery route and fine manipulation. Turns out that helps with millatary once the war breaks out and you specifically chase millitary funding.
second play through I went through the games route which was interesting :D
Yup.
yeah... and [URL="http://www.pcgamer.com/skyrim-week-of-madness-day-1-the-world-according-to-sheogorath/"]this[/URL] happens when one just installs a bunch of random mods for the heck of it (NSFW, also wordy but highly amusing)
