Ok guys, can I just rant for a minute? Because I am really pissed at this whole situation. I have had an old NES that doesn't work, and when I heard there was a new video game store in town (that has all video games from even the older systems) I was excited. I found out that they fixed video game systems, too, so I took down my NES to them in February. I called about once a week for the month of March checking on it to see if there was any progress. I basically got nowhere with that, and then when April came, life got busy and I forgot about it.

This past week, I finally remembered to call again because I still hadn't heard anything from them. I talked to the repair guy and he said 'Oh, I didn't call you? I'm sorry, it's done.' Wow, great, thanks so much for the phone call. I was pretty pissed at this point that it had been over 2 months without a single word from them. The guy said he would bring it over the next day. So I go by there, and it isn't there. I get some lame excuse and they apologize again and say it will be there the next day again. So, I stop by again and IT STILL ISN'T THERE. Now I'm really pissed off at this point since I made two trips down there to see them. Later that night, I get a call that it is at the store.

Yesterday, I went down there to pick it up. The gave me this rewards card, which is kind of useless, as it only takes off $5 for a purchase (but I get five of these, so $25 total). I can only use one a day. But, they didn't screw the top back on my NES. Whatever, I take it and go.

Once I get home, I try my NES out AND IT DOESN'T WORK. I don't know what I should have expected after this entire mess. I mean, it actually working? Come on... I call the place and tell them it doesn't work and he said 'it was working earlier....' Yeah, I'd like to see proof of that. Not only does it not work, it actually seems WORSE than before. Before it took it in, the red power button would come on but nothing would play. Now, the light doesn't even come on (though it did flicker on and off a few seconds the first time I tried after I got it home, but not anymore).

I'm so done with this place, I just wanted my  NES fixed but it has turned into a 3 month mess with basically no compensation for it. I'll probably be taking it back over there today and reaming out some people. After the week I've had, I can't say I'm shocked by this, it is just icing on the cake.

In other news, other than that fiasco yesterday, I got to see Iron Man 3 with my co-worker and it was a great movie! I'd definitely see it again and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The ending kind of just leaves you hanging as to if there is going to be another one or not... we'll see. Now, I'm pumped for Star Trek: Into Darkness that comes out on Friday! I CAN'T WAIT to see that!
