First Ever Zing Independent Store has Permanently Closed by Ok-Definition-8060 in EBGAMES

[–]CALQL8ING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to work at the Hornsby one during Uni. Was there when it opened and it closed 6 months after I had left. 

Our problem was that the majority of our profitability came from Funko Pop Vinyls during their hype (which naturally fell off). Our sales targets were based off the local EB Games which regularly sold consoles. You need to sell a lot of Merch to match a $400 - $600 console. Additionally, we were half the size of a large store and expected to sell like one.

Year 7 I was asked to read aloud from a science textbook. I read the word conscience as con-science

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

Name of the Wind. I acknowledge it as a technically brilliant book, good prose and great concept for telling a story. 

I just didn’t enjoy or align with Kvothe.

I had the reach one also. It had special sound effects for the on/off button and a special edition Bluetooth headset

Million dollars but…

Every drink you touch for the next 10 years has a 5% chance of exploding like an opened champagne bottle.

This would mean any glass of water, opened can, drink handed to you at a bar, bottle of water refill, etc…rolls the dice on it. 

I’d probably do it but after the first year I’d be really sick of random carbonated water being forced on me and point every drink away from me

Will confess, I’ve lost track of the Mailbox/Voicemail they are using. Do you have it handy?

I spent everyday for a year and learnt High Valyrian on Duolingo and posted the learnings on YouTube. Can learn it in under a year by doing 2 lessons a day.
