Video Game Pickups 6/22/16 Edition

Have made a few Misc Pickups over the last month or so. Not out much, as I am getting married next week, and have a reception to pay for. Anyway, on to the Pickups!

End of April and Early May picked up the last 2 Free Doom Cards from Gamestop

Complete Set of 4

And another pickup from my daughter, she picked these up at a thrift store, and they were 1/2 off that day and ended up being $2.00/$2.50. We still enjoy playing lots of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, F the Haters!

2 Gutiar Hero Microphones, We had 2 Rock Band ones already, but cannot have enough extras!

And a Forced Gamestop Pickup (See my Fuck Gamestop Rant HERE)

 $5 n Change for Both

Red Steel for the Wii

Crysis 3 for the Xbox 360

And speaking of 360 games, I popped into a Goodwill 2 weeks ago? And picked this one up.

 Heroes Over Europe

Complete and in Great Shape

And I was going through my Ridge Racer Games, and Realized I did not have one of them. So, being the impulsive person I am, I immediately went to eBay, and found me a nice, clean, complete copy.

Rage Racer

Complete and In Brand New Condition!

I remember renting this back in the 90's and my brother and I played for hours. This is the first game I remember, where you were able to customize and decorate your car.

The sellers items included free shipping, I paid $8.00 for Rage Racer and figured I might as well look at what else he had, and picked up this for $4.00.

 F-15 Strike Eagle III for the Sega Genesis

 Manual is missing the cover, but it included the poster

And while we are on the subject of Sega Genesis Games. I got a game and case I needed from a great You Tuber, Cory from Collecting with Cory. Check him out!

I was watching one of his Pickup Videos,and saw he had these extra, and I offered to buy them from him, but he just sent them to me, Awesome, Thanks Cory!

 Cyborg Justice, another game my Brother and I used to play

And a case for a game I had Cartridge only.

World of Illusion

And with my Cartridge snugly in it's new home

And this past weekend, I also picked up a couple new T-shirts

FUCK Gamestop!

Yeah, I know. Many, Many, Many Hundreds of people have Gamestop complaints, all over the internet. So many that, it makes one wonder How the hell do they stay in business?

My point is, a Gamestop Rant is nothing, new. However, This is mine.

As I detailed in my one year anniversary blog (Read Here) I don't shop at Gamestop (since November 2013), but I do use their Power Up Rewards program.

Last week I logged in to do the Xtra Point surveys on their website, I had accumulated 10,xxx points, and I was working towards 11,500 to get a $10.00 Xbox Live Credit Download Card. I looked up at the top right corner, and my total was only 5,xxx? 

WTF? Where did 5,000 points go? Did someone hack my account?

I looked at the redemption history, and yeah GAMESTOP hacked my account and decided to take 5,000 of my points, and redeemed them for a $5.00 in store credit. Which I couldn't use online, couldn't use for DLC or Xbox Live Credit, with a time limit! I only had 3 weeks to redeem my forced voucher.

Again I say WTF?!?! In all the years I've had this Power Up Rewards Membership, has this happened, is this a new thing?

Who the Fuck is Gamestop to tell me what I am going to do with  MY Hard Earned Power Up Rewards Points? I earned those points in MY account. Gamestop has NO Fuckin Right to say when or what I will redeem them on. Forcing me to have to go to one of their Understaffed, Over Cluttered, High Pressure Sales Retail Outlets. Preposterous!

So I went, bought 2 games (Red Steel for the Wii & Crysis 3 for the Xbox 360) and redeemed my voucher, and as usual got Gamestops patented Shitty Customer Service, with the high pressure every add on sales attempt......


I sent a complaint email (a nice clean, well laid out email). Detailing my experience, questioning the forced redemption, and of course I have not heard one single thing from them, what a shock......

FUCK YOU GAME STOP, FUCK YOU!

Hellyeah Undeniable

It has been awhile since I posted about some good music, and will take this opportunity to do so.

My daughter and her boyfriend (who both have excellent taste in music) went to the Northern Invasion Concert weekend in Somerset, WI on May 14th & 15th. My daughter bought Autograph Signing passes (I forget the actual name) for her to meet Disturbed (Awesome) and her BF for Hellyeah.

She had her Disturbed Immortalized Album Signed

Well apparently, she also bought an Hellyeah one for me as well, and she had it signed by the band, and even bought a frame for me to keep it in :)  Thanks Mir!

It also came with a Demo CD for their new album coming out just a few weeks later, in with the CD, was a coupon for $2.00 off the new album.

Undeniable was released Friday June 3rd, and Her BF went to Best Buy, where they had the Deluxe Edition on Sale for $9.99. With the $2.00 off coupon, it was $8 n Change for the brand new Deluxe album.

So the next day, off to Best Buy I Went!

Definitely a Great Metal Album, Check it out!
