Left for work early this morning to check around for PoP.

1) EB -- Does *not* have. Says shipment comes into province late tonight, should have by tomorrow (Wednesday)

2) Walmart -- Does *not* have. Tho they do have a lot of halloween decorations and junk food in stock, I noticed. Should have picked some up.

3) Microplay -- Does *not* have. Told me to check back on a week or so, cause they don't get PC games in as fast as console games. (aka they don't want my money)

4) Future Shop -- Does *not* have. "Check back later on this week"

I had to get to work after that. Only place I didn't check was TRU, but their PC game selection is limited at best anyways. So that's that. Looks like EB is still best bet, but gonna be another day. You guys can try calling around to various WalMarts in the city - you never know with them. Avalon mall location never had as of 11:00am this morning.

If you haven't been following current events, WalMart sold out yesterday :D
The Best Buy by me never got the shipment this morning (open at 10am) and they were selling for $25...
...therefore I went to a nearby Software Etc. where they received theirs at around 11am and I bought a copy for a friend at $30.

Who do I blame? Why the Magic Troll of course! :twisted:

Which Walmart in NEWFOUNDLAND (subject said NEWFS!!!!!) was sold OUT yesterday, bro? Given that no Walmarts in the province of Newfoundland even HAD it yesterday, I would be most intrigued as to how this came to be.

Regardless, EB got it today. So who cares. I have my copy now. =)

Good lord! Newfs everywhere. Celestial Tomb has like a million (zerg adjusted figure) of them.

I give them shit, but they're a lot of fun to game with.

cool.

How long ago was it when you moved away?

Edit: Insane! I thought I was the only Newfoundlander that played EverQuest for the longest time till last year when I went to get a copy of Luclin the guy told me they had a load of copies back ordered.

About 5 and a half years. I graduated high school in 96 and got the fuck out. I really love the province and the people and the culture, but I didn't want to get stuck in the same rut as everyone there.

I was wondering what a newfs was :)

And all along I thought it was just a way to create file systems on raw partitions.

Lies all lies!

Newfies don't know how to type properly, and can barely handle the running water.

It's a sham!

They're really from PEI! Because like PEI people are smart because they have this huge crazy ass bridge!

Plus their smokes cost a fortune!

Oh, and Abelard....any time you wanna do coffee pop on and message me. Usually playing Jugata these days. Or message Gung, Taelan, Rianna. Polvara or Kavden. That's the usual Tim's crowd.

Think we have 15-16 Newfs on Veeshan (add Abelard to that list now).

We need more so we can exploit our timezone advantage!!

Kguku!! PEI..STFU!

Kyoukan being a newf floored me.

Not all the Newfs have been mentioned :!: What about the KoFers? Like Lynxors...

Posted: October 25, 2002, 6:56 am
by Forthe
KoFers are included in the number I gave.

We also have a few veeshan honourary newfs (i.e. they are giving the password to the ultra exclusive and smutty newf channel).

We need to invent some method to screech people in over the internet.

Posted: October 25, 2002, 12:00 pm
by Jugata
Lynxe, Nirmzulla/narmgarf, Polvara, Sneg, Asmadas.

There's your KoF newf list.

Honorary mentions to the Soggybiscuits who have had the honor of seeing the smutfest that would definitely have us all banned.
