I hate that. Real fans really want them and people who don't care are selling them for like £40 the week there out. I'd never buy something I didn't want just because it would be worth something unless it was on a car boot sale (yard sale in America?) or something.

Its just stopping someone else really enjoying something they wanted

Hi! I think it's ok if you want to stand in line for ages or constantly refresh a page and get one or two to sell. But buying up every single one in stock is too much, and something more stores need to prevent. That said, the whole rush to buy and ebay every new product that might be popular has really gotten out of hand lately.

I suppose, it just really bugs me.

On another note, I just found out one of my favourite voice actors Tara Strong does the voice of a lot of characters in TV shows I watch and I didn't know. I'm happy to know that her range is so wide!

Wish I could get involved in voice overs, it looks fun.

Ugh. I think I'm sick... it's wither that or I've got allergies, but as I've never had those before, I'm inclined to believe it's the former. Of course as soon as it's sunny after a week of rain I get this...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hi! As a note, you can get allergies, even if you'd never had them before, if your immune system is weakened for some reason. For example, I got allergies a couple times when returning home for vacation after a particularly stressful university semester, despite never having them before in my life. Basically, the more health things your body has to deal with (fighting off potential illnesses, not enough rest, stress, bad diet, etc.), the more likely it is to fail to deal with something it can usually handle.

On another note, I fixed the counting game! Sorta. Couldn't figure out why it was broken and it resisted all attempts to fix but I was able to move all the posts except the first into a new thread, added the text from the first post (plus an explanation) into the original second post (now the new first post) and made a post without a number to fix the totals.

I've just booked a nice holiday away for 4 days in May in the Lake district. Learning fencing and archery while we are there and having a Bird of Prey encounter.

really looking forward to it!

And I'm 30 on Thursday 16th April. Really hitting home how old I am, still watching cartoons though haha!

Hi! Yeah... While it didn't make me feel as "old" as having so many people I know get married, leaving my 20's behind was a little sad. Not expecting to get rid of my anime, manga, figurines, games, etc. any time soon though.

Yeah its weird when someone younger than you gets married...I'm still trying to save up for a down payment on a house so I'm still at the family home.

Man, still though, I'm an Auntie, have a job etc so I guess I do "Adult" sometimes hehehe

Hi! I have a house now, but only because, with how ridiculous rent is here, it actually made more sense to buy. The down payment did take the lion's share of my bank account though.

Aloha! I just found out that somebody is developing real, actual Metal Gear Solid-style fingerprint-locked guns. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this.

Hi! Of all the future tech you see in Metal Gear, I think that's one of the least problematic ones.

I managed to get an Ike amiibo yesterday, not the one I'm really really after but happy as hes from the Fire Emblem set. I only need Lucina & Robin now.

Charizard is preordered, so I need to keep an eye open for Greninja too. Not bothering with Pikachu and Jigglypuff.

I also got my MewTwo for Smarh Bros yesterday and my shiny charizard from game.

I really enjoyed my 30th birthday on Thrusday as well. Feeling a bit old but not to different B-D

It might be non-problematic, it might be quite problematic. But if we want to really discuss it, we should probably do it on the unrated politics board.

Aloha! I post to you as prince! I actually thought I'd be king, I didn't really see Silver post a whole lot...oh but I assume he got points for creating Pebble Pets.

Hi! The break down sorta went like this...

Stevenson: Most posts, though the vast majority where in Game Time, which are only worth 1/2 point each.
Silver: Lower post count than Stevenson, but more non-game posts, plus some points for Pebble Pets and such (he got bonus points for a couple things, but without those he still would have narrowly won due to Pebble Pets).
Shauni: Lowest post count of the front runners by far, but got a bunch of bonus points from the guest comic challenge.
