Congrats to you both!

+ I mean it could be worse, it was only, like 6000 points that I now have to throw away later. :lol:

Edit: +/- Ok so I just went ahead and continued the rest of the level casually and ended at 29156. Amusingly, I still ended up getting a happy Murfy stamp even though i think the score is pathetic. :lol:
- Ok, time for round 2. (Great I get to go through BOM3 again)
+ Finally finished BOM, got around 61K so I did better this time around. Though, probably will leave this level alone for awhile.
+ Going to try sleeping earlier than yesterday. Heh, I say that though it's nearly 4 here. :lol:

I've also gotten a memory foam topper, so my bed is much less hard and way more comfortable. :mrgreen:

++ 12 hour sleep :shock:

+ Had a couple of weird vivid dreams about Rayman. Not sure what those mean :lol:

Oh hey, I'm glad you were able to finally get a good nights rest.

- I would get decent sleep if I would just go to bed on time, and not stay up 'till midnight like I've been doing, only to wake up at 6am. :oops2:

- CeX let me down with the SSD. It's almost like I knew that was going to happen. :roll:
+ Decided to order a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro from Amazon instead. I should have it in about a week.

Wait, CeX is basically just European Best Buy? I just thought it was a video game store.

There there Pirez, come visit across the channel and we can go to CEX together.

Tbf I know you can get some decent used hardware at CEX, it's not just old video games and DVDs. I've seen relatively recent MacBooks at them, so it can be a worthwhile bargain depending, but you do roll the dice as you'd expect with second hand stuff.

Prices for old Pokémon games though make me sad...

+ Nearly the end of the week
- I've fizzled on my Galaxy 2 run. This is not good for my diet gaming marathon plan

Its main focus is definitely (mostly older) video games and consoles. Though you can also buy phones, MP3 players, memorabilia and DVDs.

Normally I don't have an issue, and if they do send me something odd, they will refund you. They offer 2 year warranty on just about every electronic device anyway. The only issues I've had with them were when they clearly didn't have an item that was listed on their site (the SSD), or the time I had a PS3 that didn't work properly, but they allowed me to just bring it back and exchange it for another one.

One other time with a phone also, the screen had bad burn in. We brought it back to the nearest store (we'd ordered it online), and as soon as the man working there looked at it, his words were "I have no idea how this passed the testing phase". He just gave us the money back, and we ordered another one, which was much better when it arrived.

Yeah come on, this is no time for you to give up! Especially since you have me on the other hand trying to do a Rayman 3 scoring run! You can do it Master! :)
