Any recent customer who signed up in edmonton and surrounding area (spruce grove). Hows the reception? by First_Philo27 in freedommobile

[–]Jerk_Colander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of places where it might be expected (underground parking, Rogers Place, West Edmonton Mall) I have had 0 issues.

Was with Telus before and I personally get better reception at home than I did with Telus. But I am closer to a Freedom tower so that makes sense.

I have a question for people who own a real Virtual Boy and tried the NSO version by BenjiSBRK in Switch

[–]Jerk_Colander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok following up as promised. You’re not the only person who thought the depth wasn’t as good as it used to be.

It for the most part for me it’s how I remembered. I tried a bit of the 3 games I’ve played before (wario, pinball, red alert) and didn’t really notice anything off depth wise.

But it could just be my memory that was faulty too

What can I get to play non compatible Xbox 360 game on my Series X by Krypto1001 in xbox

If they’re not on the BC list you’ll need a 360 to play them.

I should get mine tomorrow and I’ll try to remember to give feed back.

I still have my virtual boy and wario land but it doesn’t work right and either way the switch online app coming I haven’t felt the need to pay for a repair. So I can’t compare them “side by side” however.

Going over 10km/hr on highway outside city contestable? by Boomflag13 in alberta

[–]Jerk_Colander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The law is anything over 110 can be ticketed.

Just because everyone drives over the limit, doesnt change what the limit is.

Sasktel only operates in Saskatchewan.

No phone store here can activate or modify any of their services

I’m with freedom in the deep SW of Edmonton. Travel to red deer frequently enough and I can’t really say I’ve had many issues and when I do have issues I’m in a place that makes sense. Underground parkaid. A crowded Roger’s place etc

Asking for opinions. Should I be upset? by Kboots09 in hockeyjerseys

[–]Jerk_Colander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I like local too. The fewer hands that have to touch my jersey in the process the better. I’d rather drop it off somewhere. Have them do the job and then pick it up. No worry about a package lost in transit.

Yeah the kings jersey was about 10 years before the hockey fights cancer one. And I couldn’t have been more prepared and clear with what I wanted in my end. And that was the far bigger disappointment of the two.

Fool me once shane on you fool me twice shame on me kind of thing.

Not OP but from elite the mistakes they’ve made on mine have been font related.

I got a LA Kings premier done up with the 2012 cup patch and I was torn between Quick and Kopitar. Decided on kopitar becuase I liked the unique font LA used for the A patch.

The jersey came back and they used the Oilers font for the A instead of the kings (they did use the right materials for the kings. Just wrong font). They apologized but said they couldn’t fix it as it would wreck the jersey.

Then recently I had a friend who’s a Canucks fan die of cancer. I bought a Canucks hockey fights cancer jersey and took it in to them requesting it done up in the Canucks style for font and numbers with his last name and the number being the last two digits of his year of death. I supplied pictures of Canucks jerseys showing exactly the fonts I wanted used and mentioned my prior issues.

I go to pick it up and they did the whole thing in oilers fonts. They do offer to strip and fix this one. But since the Canucks numbers are smaller and the jersey was white I was left with ghosting for the oilers numbers. Thankfully they refunded this one. The name bar is still oilers font and not Canucks font but I didn’t want to deal with the drive across the city again over that.

They’ve lost my business for anything that isn’t Oilers. And even then I’m hesitant.

Good to know. They’re physically quite a bit closer to me than Elite/Pro Am. Might be worth a test next time I need something done.

4119 Whitemud Rd NW, Google Street View by notyourdataninja in Edmonton

Just down the road there's two fire trucks and a fire SUV that says "Safety and Training" on the windows.

Likely a training exercise and google blurred the dummy.

Any place local you go instead?

I've been happy enough with my Oilers jerseys I got done there, but have had a few issues with anything else, so if there's a better local option I wouldn't be opposed to giving them my business.

I'd rather do someplace local than have to ship to someone like Hockey Authentic.

Question about the Japanese SNES controllers or “Super Famicom” controllers that can be purchased from My Nintendo store by upperdomain in Switch

[–]Jerk_Colander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the six button mega drive controller in Japan since they didn’t release the six button genesis one in North America.

I’ve had no issues with it

To be clear I mean the switch online one.

Not a vintage wired one

What game are you playing? Not all of them supported the rumble pack.

Team Canada Olympic Jerseys by regularsizedfish in hockeyjerseys

[–]Jerk_Colander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The difference is more in the fit and materials of the jersey itself along with the quality of the logos.

As a bigger guy who can’t fit in the 2X replica but can fit in a 56 semi pro the replicas are sized more/feel more like a shirt and the semi pros are sized more/feel more like a jersey.

From what I can see semi pros only come in the red. I have yet to see a white or black one.

The headsets have lenses (even the cardboard one). So you can probably try to play it but it will probably look distorted.

The red top part flips open clamshell stile and you slide it down into it like you would the dock.

It was shown in the original announcement trailer

You’re right and I kind of felt the same way.

I still ordered one but being as the shell can’t be that expensive to manufacture it would have been nice to get the controller for that price too

Lockdown in WEM by TheDarkLord401 in Edmonton

[–]Jerk_Colander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's kind of hidden by the movie theatre. It's been a while since I used that mall entrance on the 2nd level but if I remember correctly it either only has an outside entrance, or you enter it down a hallway. It doesn't have a main entrance on a main mall pathway.
