Mom went to the post office to get my package.

Apparently they didn't have it, and said they might have it on the truck for delivery today.

Mail time comes and goes. No package.

Its like they don't know how to do their jobs.

I don't know if it's because you import or because your post office just plain sucks....

Its not an import.

Its from Amazon, UPS normally handles the 2-day shipping stuff but lately they've been doing this "SurePost" shipping where the Post Office delivers it.

Now because of the abundant snow, the mail wasn't delivered all last week because the truck couldn't reach the mailbox.

That, however leaves no excuse as to why they couldn't get out of the truck and walk to the porch. Instead they claimed to have been there when I was home, and claimed to leave a notice that doesn't exist.

Now I have to wait till monday for something that was supposed to arrive on the 27th. Of course there's no excuse for that either since it was in my city on the 26th, they could've done it then, but nope lets leave it sitting around for a day just because we can.

This is just sad. I just wanted to play my HD Tales of Symphonia and now its basically being held hostage at the post office, and not even the city post office, but the [tornado fang]ing post office in the next town over (Which isn't that far away, but it takes longer to get to.) And naturally they don't want to bring the [tornado fang]ing package with them if they fail a delivery even if its something that doesn't require a signature, they'll do that for alcohol, but not my stuff, no, I have to ask them to redeliver it, I mean, do they think I don't want my package? Why do I need to ask them to give it to me? Just give me my damn package!

And of course this UPS SurePost bullshit is selective, sometimes they do it, other times they finish delivery on their own, and late I might add (8PM at times, even if they get it at 5AM). They didn't do it for Mom's leg splint which she really needed for vacation, and it arrived only after she left. But my stuff gets SurePost. And then I have to deal with the Post Office's neverending bullshit. Whatever happened to that Rain or snow motto? Did they just decide "We'll deliver the mail, but if the weather is icky and nobody's home to clean a path for us we won't deliver." And don't get me started on my constant import hell, if I had the option I would avoid using the postal service altogether since they clearly are a bunch of incompetent buffoons who can't grasp the concept of customer service if it landed in their hands.

Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.

Get a PO Box. Seriously. If you live in a place where it's hard to deliver, stop having things mailed to your residence and being surprised when it gets delayed. Also, move to Central Arizona. No snow here.

It's just saving you from Tales of Symphonia.

... I kid, it's not that bad. Hasn't held up well in the gameplay department if you ask me, though.

Police Girl

I've played it before, I mainly bought the HD version out of nostalgia and because Collector's Edition.

HD Version? Was the PS2 version even released in the states?


PS: I'm playing the Wii sequel. Except for the waggle(aiming to use Fire Ring), I'm enjoying it.)

Nope, however the HD Chronicles release is based off the PS2 version, in both the good and bad ways (Locked at 30fps from what I hear.)
DotNW is probably still a bad game but its waggle free now at least.

Just came back from my sister's place. Hot Pot is really [tornado fang]ing tasty.

Also, I played The Last of Us there, as I recently got it.

I. LOVE. IT.

Not that I had any doubt that I would love it. It has the Uncharted-like linearity, though for the plot, it certainly makes sense. You're supposed to go from point A to point B. With all the Clickers and infected around the place, it makes navigating a nightmare at times.

Now I just need Uncharted 4. And with the PS4 capabilities, along with Naughty Dog's history of pushing the system, I can only imagine how incredible it's going to look.

Funny since I just saw the Lego Movie tonight. It was AWESOME!!

I saw my grandma today, and she's doing great.  Problem is, she's trying to escape and was trying to talk Ringman and I into aiding and abetting her. :P

Unfortunately, they got that place guarded well enough that we'd be tackled to the floor and Mammaw recaptured before we make it to the first floor.

That somehow sounds very amusing.

Finally, I got a new computer. This new laptop just goes to show how my 7 year old computer really can't match the current systems, even with the upgrades I gave it.

When was the last time I poked you guys...

In other news, spotted a couple copies of Mega Man ZX for like ten bucks at my local Target. Huh. Maybe I should grab one of 'em.
