Yeah I got em….. they aren't sending emails anymore, it's just in your rewards menu.  I guess they are still valid... didn't spend any yet but I have the numbers wrote down.

Well, I got one email and the link just goes to the rewards page now.  I guess the redemption deadline was yesterday.  Didn't get anything at all on my other accounts. 

Final coffin nail for me on this program, I think.

Well if you wait for the email then it's too late.  Got burned by that once before.  Check for 100% completion of the reward every day... if that falls on the weekend then it'll be up around Monday evening.... not sure about contests that end during the week.

I was hoping to post here about all the new in box PS4 games PBJ brought to me at Zapcon but......

I did get a free tortuga tshirt from him, a hat from Ond, and a staff shirt from Mike A.  Yotsie gave me a 3D printed Dickbutt and a 3D printed glow in the dark dragon. Jawn got me free passes into Zapcon too. Opt gave me a sweeeeeeeeet BotW lanyard.  Arroyo bought pizza for everyone.

I was such a ---smurfing--- leech last weekend.

Eh somebody's gotta do it. 

Amazon gift cards are in..... also there seems to be a $1 coupon for the coke store in there as well.  Has anyone actually been able to redeem those?  Last time I tried it wouldn't go through at checkout.

Coke is doing some offers again, they are pretty lame though.  Scan 6 sip & scan labels to get a pen set..... despite what the rules say they don't have to be from each brand, they don't even have to be different codes... pull a coke out of the fridge, scan it 6 times, done.  Also 12 caps for a magazine subscription is up again.

There’s usually an option to get a $5 check instead of a subscription if you dig deep enough.  That whole program has shifted to instant win games.  I miss the days of free T-shirt’s and silver rodeo belt buckles.

You and me both.  They used to do pretty good offers.  Even when they shifted to primarily gift cards they used to give a decent amount.

Recently ran about 3 grand through Sears ordering some appliances, got ~$60 in "free cash" points.  All their electronics are super overpriced and anything I wanted came out to about $20-30 out of pocket even with all that "free cash."  To make it worse, when you apply the free cash, they remove the free shipping, charge you $9, and then nail you for sales tax.

So, anyway, after way too many hours on this, I figured out a trick.  Get at least $59 in your cart so that you're eligible for free shipping.  Then when you're checking out, select the option to slightly expedite it for $1/item.  Then apply your points.  The points will erase everything except the $1 shipping charges and whatever your leftover balance is.

I got one of those Pac-Man 256 TV joysticks and two pairs of jeans I actually needed for $5.50 shipped.

 :cheers:

I didn't know about the shipping trick, thanks for sharing. 

eBay is doing another $3 off $3+ coupon again.  Just use PROMO3 as the coupon code.

Got some buttons for a project I'm working on... nothing exciting. 

Also think geek is officially merging with gamestop and because of it the whole store is %50 off.

Haha... literally the day after I make a $3.50 purchase on Ebay.  First time in months I've even logged into that place.

 :lol

Oh well, screw it.  Got a copy of Captain Skyhawk for $1 shipped.  Thanks for the coupon heads up.

To anyone that participated in the target gift card coke promotion, you can claim them now.  You have to do so from the website first and then the email will be sent.  One of mine apparently is lost in the series of pipes and tubes.... I'll wait until tomorrow to see if it shows up.

Captain Skyhawk is actually a decent game, too.

Picked up a 29” Nanao MS9 tube for next to free ($30), to go with my backup chassis. Now I have a good backup monitor for my Japanese cabinet.

Also, my Arcade CRT hoarding is expanding. All of these where fairly cheap, or given to me for free. All rebuilt and 100% working (chassis not attached here). I’ve got two 25”, one 19” and now one 29”.

I’m set for a while. :D

I got rid of a few 25 inch tvs and almost instantly regretted it.  Forget arcade monitors, just finding crt anything is getting hard around here.

Goodwill and restore don't get them in anymore.  I didn't worry about keeping any because just a few years ago they were stacked up like cordwood.

There are some good post-e3 video game sales going on.  Gonna spend all my stock-piled gift cards on some good games.... might pickup bloodstained now that it is finally out... absolutely loved the 8-bit companion game.

Target is having a "sale" (if you can call it that) so I went ahead and spent my credit on shadow of the tomb raider.  I've never seen a store that claims a "%30 off selected titles when you pickup in store" where a game will be included in the promotion, it's available for your store at pickup, and yet it's somehow ineligible for the discount.  I hate dealing with target and I didn't want credit left over so tomb raider it is.... still had to pay $0.71   :angry:

Now to look at my credit on Walmart and amazon before these summer sales go away. 

Anybody tried BloodStained yet?  I hear it's good, but I hear a lot of things.

Yup, got my copy for the Switch. Though I heard bad things about the Switch version, like low rez visuals, and input lag. I’ll crack it open once I’m back home from working OT.

Yeah I intended to get it on the switch because I figured it'd be a good portable game but now I'm unsure.  I'm really unsure in general because I'm one of the oddballs that doesn't like SOTN.  The thing is, I like most of the "sequels" on the gba/ds, it's just the first one that throws me off.  Really going to have to give it another try one of these days.

So the Switch version of Bloodstained is unplayable.  The framerate is atrocious, there's input lag, and the visuals are very down-rezzed.  505 Games has acknowledged the performance issues based on the backlash it's recently received by players, and are shifting their focus on fixing this version.  But who knows how long it'll be.

If you're interested in getting this game, I'd recommend avoiding the Switch version.   I'm regretting changing my pledge to receive the PS4 version for the Switch. I should have just kept with the PS4 release.

Damn that sucks man.  I don't need to play it right now so maybe I'll wait a while and see if they manage to fix the switch port.  Had I known that I might have got curse of the moon for the ps4 or xbone so both game would be on the same console.

Yeah that was part of my reasoning to get this for Switch, since Curse of the Moon was so great for the system, I too wanted to pair them together.

<sigh> I guess I’ll shelve this till news of fixes are out. I still got Hollow Knight and Dead Cells to finish, for my Metroidvania fix.
Plus the new Samurai Shodown came out today, I figure I’ll put in some time on that too. No shortage of games to play these days, but I was just really excited to jump into Bloodstained. It’s a damn shame

Hollow Knight is awesome and will take a long time to finish so you should be set for the foreseeable future.  It's hard but gets easier over time as you get experience and learn the enemy patterns.  Dead Cells is really good too but I stink at it so I don't play it as much as I should.

That sucks about Bloodstained - I have been wanting to play this game and the Switch seems perfect for it but now I guess I'll look into getting a copy for the PS4 or Xbox One.  At least Super Mario Maker 2 is out today and my kids LOVE the first game so I'm sure I'll be playing their messed up levels for the rest of the summer.

Picked up Yakuza 0 for PS4 today.  My first actually free item in awhile.  Amazon no longer does 1 month Prime extensions for missing their guaranteed delivery dates, but they'll give out $5 courtesy credits without too much protest.  Anyway, I'll add it to the Shoebox of Sealed Game Shame.

And..... Amazon missed the guaranteed delivery date.  So I got another $5 credit, which has been put towards Agents of Mayhem. 

So, for those of you keeping track.  I turned $20 of Coke Amazon gift cards into 2 $6 pens that are ordinarily $25ish each (no idea, but Dr. PBJ was freaking out it was a good deal), when those showed up late I got a $5 credit I put with the balance for Yakuza 0, and then when that was late, I got another $5 credit and another PS4 game.

Feeling like 2017 all over again.

 Is eBay desperate for business or something?  They are doing yet another coupon, this time 5 bucks off, no minimum.  Use code WELCOME5 
So this one is a honest to god freebie.... get to shopping.


*Nevermind*   It's one of those YMMV codes.... seems to only work with a new account.

Your right technically I guess, but when I get a game that's currently going for $20-30 for 2 or 3 that's good enough.  Note that I paid a whopping 71 cents for my last game.  Also those ebay 3 off 3+ are absolutely free.  If you can't find something on eBay that's cool for around 3 bucks then turn in your internet card.

I worry about it, man.  Usually what happens is we move every few years and I just purge everything.  When we moved to Houston I took 4 pickup loads of treasure from my gameroom to the dumpster.  That kept the beast at bay for awhile.

But now I've been here 6 years.  The pile keeps growing.   :timebomb:

Used my  last AMC black tickets from Coke (April 2018!) on Annabelle Comes Home. No ragrats. Sadly all the concession vouchers were expired. No 3 tubs of popcorn this time.

So somehow I still had credit at Kmart.  Seeing as how their website is a wasteland, I just got an 8gb sd card for 2 bucks, which I'll definately use, but 2 bucks is probably the going rate for an 8gb now anyway. 

Think I might do a magazine promo from coke just to get rid of caps.

PlayStation Classic arrived. "Like new" = factory sealed. Amazon courier did his usual partially open the box to see if he wanted to steal it.  Even he didn't want it.

Anyway, the hack is fairly easy. Added this for laughs.
