Kava's Ramblings
Insights, Observations, Scenes, Thoughts, and other miscellenous and etcetera from the mind of an online nut...
You're not spending enough $$!!!!11one!1eleven
-_-;
This would be a long rant about Gaia's latest marketing techniques, except that I'm not sure I care enough to take the time to write it at the moment.

I'm still debating whether or not I will buy any collectibles this month. I'd like to have the items, but I'm thoroughly disgusted with the marketing. There's Gaia ads on nearly every web-comic I visit these days.. those are alright I guess. Here's what I object to: "OMG! If you buy and wear collectibles, your outfits will be SWEARING good!" (Refer to Gaia's current front page.)

+ Getting limited edition items with the collectible letters is not enough! No no. They only sell for $2.50. Lame. More $$$$!!! Now you have to spend $25 to get the latest LE item.

"...."

Did I mention there are three items in the collectible again this month too?

And now I will ignore Gaia and report on other things.

I'm not feeling too chipper today, but overall I'm still doing well. Borrowed Pokemon XD from a friend, snagged a Game Cube system last night, now I just need one of the GC - GBA connectors... possibly a second memory card so that the pokemon from the game can be transferred multiple times.... >>;; Oh yes, a friend managed to snag the Coliseum Bonus disc as well, so we'll soon have Jirachi.

Wait, did I mention that already? It bears mentioning again. JIRACHI! YAY! >>;;

Anyone who is a fan of shoes or purses should check out Amazon.com's new site: Endless.com All shoes and purses. -$5 for overnight shipping while the site is in beta. Some great deals. Maybe I'll even find a pair of dress shoes. Finally. Been searching for something I like for two years now....

I think that's it for now. Have to go home tonight and write something up for Fanime... yes, already... and finish making a character for 7th Sea... oh wait, finish? I haven't really started yet... ><;; At least I get to stay home tonight.

RAWR. ~

I'll probably pick up one of the cards for the novelty of it--I figure, I'll be spending $25 on MC's at some point over the next few months anyways, so I might as well get something extra too. I do appreciate that they're expanding the MC purchasing options; I've never been comfortable with online transactions, and haven't the gumption to get a money order and mail it out.

But yeah. I dislike that there are limited-edition items that are highly inaccessible to the general populace. And I don't think they warned us about three items, but luckily I was able to snag a few letters at 12-13k a few days ago--you know, before they jumped to TWENTY-FLIPPING-TWO gold each ... xp

I find it especially irritating that all three items have massive pose-potential. If someone wanted to multi-equip all of the items this month, they'd need at least ten letters, if not more. :/



I need to get another GBA-GC connector. The only way to play Four Swords in multi-player mode is to have all players using their own GBA and cable. sad

Yeah. But getting a cash card figuring you'll spend that much over a few months only works on the assumption that they won't be doing it again with a different item anytime in the next few months. neutral
