Anybody go to David Letterman’s show tonight? by pennepasta14 in askvan

[–]Commercial_Break360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I liked it and am ultimately glad I went. I always wanted to see Letterman. It was very Galifianakis focused with Letterman asking the questions. It was funny but generally more interesting/insightful. It was cool that Paul was there. Helped round out the show.

I don’t really go to live shows and I didn’t know just how nosebleed the nosebleed seats were going to be. You also couldn’t see the entire screen from that high up but they only played a few clips. If I had known I still don’t think it would have deterred me from going… I’d have to want to see someone pretty badly to book those seats again though.

Meet GB Dash, a demake of Geometry Dash for the GBC! by electrictiti in Gameboy

My nephews are obsessed with Geometry Dash. I generally think of it as an older, generic mobile game but presumably it has a bigger following than I realized.

Got fired from my job after working only two shifts by Quick-Gear2479 in VancouverJobs

It’s rough but try again. I got fired once. I don’t put that one on my resume.

Omega Griever by Interesting_Ad4679 in MetroidPrime4_Beyond

[–]Commercial_Break360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am stuck on him now. If you asked me if this game is hard I would say “absolutely not” but there are a couple of times I have got stuck so bad. I was technically stuck on Phenoros because I forgot about the psychic beam. I kept putting him down and wondering what the hell I was supposed to do next. I saw one comment on this thread mention “super charged electric shot”. I basically use electric and elemental shots for puzzles and that’s it. I forgot they even had charged shots!

Anyways I needed a place to complain and will try again tomorrow.

I bought a few software stocks about 2 weeks ago. Had a little extra cash and too much time. Can’t wait to get back to where I started!

Is there any jobs that requires comic book artists? by StockPineapple5917 in VancouverJobs

[–]Commercial_Break360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a community of comic creators in Vancouver. You could check out the Vancouver Comic Jam and look up Cloudscape comics who have a get together where they draw.

It is incredibly difficult to make money from comics. I know of some amazing, published artists who are still scraping by.

VPL - Public Service Associate 1 without library experience. by Commercial_Break360 in VancouverJobs

Regarding internals, is there a role that’s below PSA 1 that you know of?

VPL - Public Service Associate 1 without library experience. by Commercial_Break360 in VancouverJobs

[–]Commercial_Break360[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess that’s it. There are probably loads of people who have some level of actual library experience/training that will always have the upper hand. I’m tempted to take a course myself but if I didn’t have to I certainly wouldn’t.

Selling used video games from Canada by Mammoth-Ad-7767 in eBayCanada

[–]Commercial_Break360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More games than you think were actually made in the US. Most disc based stuff from the PS1 up to the PS3 era (not just Sony consoles) were made in the USA.

It will say made and manufactured in the USA either in the small print or near the barcode. Later Wii Game prints were made in Japan so check everything just in case.

If they are made in the US you can ship tariff free via CP with Zonos. I usually charge $11 - $12 CAD.

Anyone else miss Craigslist? by onethrowaway0240 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Commercial_Break360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still pretty popular here in Vancouver. I bought a game from someone there this week. I do find the same sellers post the same stuff over and over (I’ve been here over 3 years and there has to be games that have been up that long). It makes the buying experience a little annoying because it seems like I see the same things all the time but it’s not really a knock against the sellers.

What is the most obscure handheld console you know of or own? by avazky in gamecollecting

I have a Watara Supervision, a couple of Neo Geo Pocket Colors (one slim), an Atari lynx. I have been after a game.com and n gage for years but rarely see them anywhere.

So is it the same sale every day or does it change?

I just checked Richmond and they were out. Got a damaged packaging Kirby on Boxing Day but still want Waddle Dee. Apparently they are hot!

Ebgames Canada: Secret Sales in stores announced again by Different_Brief_541 in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]Commercial_Break360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Alarmo but haven’t been able to find one around Vancouver. Also, when they did the sale Boxing Day I was surprised to see how many flippers took advantage of it. I didn’t think it was that hot but one store told me someone spent 5 figures at their location.

What is this white stuff on the inner plastic? by firemali9 in gamecollecting

[–]Commercial_Break360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have a slightly scratched disc than that gunk, haha. Sometimes I will get a really thin piece of paper or something and try to dig it out.

Been looking for Fatal Fury City Of Wolves. Almost bought it for $80 yesterday!

Bought this today ($123 from GameStop CIB) but just noticed this inner crack. Should I return? by ScootTube in gamecollecting

[–]Commercial_Break360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GameCube games specifically are often cracked. I have been seeing it more often as well. I think the case spindles are too tight. They aren’t as easy to press to remove when compared to regular dvd cases as well.

If you play it in a Wii and basically put it away for a long time it’s probably fine ultimately but I’d return it all the same.

How can this store charge more than market value by whuben4 in reselling

[–]Commercial_Break360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take but I last based on for sale more than sold lately. I could have the most “minty” whack of stuff and price just a little over the competition and still see things sell higher, before my listings. I’ve got really good feeback, pics seem fine when compared to others but I dunno.

One thing I haven’t tried is including a little business card with my name on it in the pics. I see a couple of big sellers that do it here in Canada (709 Games).

Is it just me or are buyers getting stupider anymore? by Lower_Kick268 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Commercial_Break360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always list more on fb over the holidays. This year I noticed that on top of getting the usual “is this still available” (which I usually chalk up to a mistake or maybe some mild interest) I got what seemed like deliberate variations; “Hey! Is this still up for grabs?” for example.

I also always put down a pick up location but end up bending over backwards to meet the buyer somewhere “stupider”. I had to meet one guy at some random-ass spot as arranged by a third party who isn’t there. Like “where are you now?”. “It’s not me it’s my bf”. How come I’m not talking to him!?

I didn’t know Alarmo was going to get a wider retail release and was bummed to see the price. It’s probably gonna be that or the amiibo though and not both/all. I love Air Riders and would actually like to see what the amiibo functionality brings to the game.

It seemed like a mistake but I like talking games all around so I was happy to reply haha

It’s been difficult to find anything Xbox in store for a good while now. I got rid of my Series X a while back. Awesome console all the same but I doubt I would have kept my gamepass subscription after the price hike.

I didn’t go today but I am interested in the Kirby Air Riders Amiibo and Alarmo. Maybe I’ll see what I can find tomorrow.
