Alright, guys, I'm thinking of getting Dragon Age II, but first, I need advice from anyone who has played the Dragon Age series: Do I need to play Dragon Age 1 first? Is the story serial, to the point where I will need to, or can I just go ahead with the sequel?

I've been in quite a bad mood as of late mainly because I haven't been sleeping well due to stress which is caused from not finding work since December. angree

Today I finally snapped, after just falling asleep at 9:30am (yeah I know) I got a phone call about an hour later from my mom because one of her co-workers needed computer support for her home computer. Well I was pretty upset because one she called on our cell phones which we're getting very close to our minutes expiring and our roll over minutes are getting kind of low too. And I was really pissed off because I had just gotten to sleep.

After that I couldn't get back to sleep so finally fell asleep at 2am and when I got up and my mom called me back from my sisters house where she's staying this weekend to watch my neice and nephew I blew up on her about this morning.

And why are you still unemployed? The answer: President Barack Obama and his administration, which has done everything to help big banks and other major lending institutions and done next to nothing to help create long term, full time jobs for unemployed Americans and also help those in danger of losing their homes from falling into foreclosure. winky

As to the rest of your post I hope you can work things out with your mother, whether that means an apology, conversation and/or both.

I don't think has to do with President Obama but more of my state's previous govener who did nothing to help businesses or let new businesses come in.

As for my mother I'm not apologizing for anything I said tonight.

Well, Monsterland Forums was eliminated in the first round of the Zathyus Networks "Battle Of The Boards" competition. I'm not disappointed at all by this result. In fact, I never expected to advance to the second round. What did disappoint me: this message board received only one vote during the first round competition...among the two hundred votes(or slightly more) that were cast. Our board did get about 150 "views" but not even a single comment of praise, critique or anything in between.

I have looked over some of the message boards that have advanced to the second round in this competition: two of them(and none else IMO) are worthy, I think: one is anime themed and the other is "Star Trek" themed.

Part of me doesn't give the slightest damn for these contests. Part of me also wishes that Monsterland Forums was a little more popular in the Zetaboards message board community.

This is an inspiration from a thread at TK.

Things that annoy me the most are:

-Best Buy. They're customer service and professionalism has gone down the drain a lot. Back in January I bought the game Dead Space 2 (CE) and did an in store pick up. When I went to pick up the game they had the standard version waiting for me not the CE. I had to wait 45 mins for them to find the store and didn't even get a sorry. Said game game with a copy of the Dead Space motion comic 360/PSN game; it took them two months to get me my code to get said game. I got a call for an interview on Feb 6th which I missed due to my phone charging and when I tried calling back they had severe issues with the lines and made several attempts to reschedule but still haven't heard anything.

Ignorance. I can't stand stupidity any more. I just can't.

Arrogance. People who act like they're better than everyone else, news flash for you aren't.

When I help someone out and they don't bother to acknowledge it. For example on a message board if someone ask for help or a question and I take the time to give them a response they don't post a thank you or another example a friend asking me to help him with a project or something and I do and I don't get a thank you. Is it really that hard to post a response or say thank you so I know you at least apperciate the help?

People in general have been annoying me a lot lately.

Well that's it for me now if I thhink of more I'll post them.

I believe Best Buy's customer service has gotten worse with the demise of Circuit City, a retailer who was Best Buy's most direct competitor. I have, in the last five years, bought two desktop computer systems, countless DVDs, CDs and a 32" hi def flat panel TV...despite not even one sales associate asking me if I needed help. On one occasion, when initially shopping around for a desktop computer, and after wandering around the computer department of the store for twenty minutes unaided, I asked an associate to speak to a manager. The associate immediately became cautious and defensive and retrieved a manager. I asked the manager why I could wander around the computer department for twenty minutes without one sales associate stopping to ask if I needed assistance. The manager was a young, twenty something caucasian fellow. He offered a subdued apology but didn't answer my question. I repeated my question. He made mention of sales associates in the computer section of the store helping out in the neighboring section(TV's) because the TV section was busy and the computer section was not. I asked the manager if that meant at least one associate shouldn't still be stationed in the computer section of the store. I got no reply. The manager tried to hurriedly call over an associate to help me. I told him not to bother and I walked out of the store. I called Best Buy's corporate office customer service number and got repeated apologies and an offer of a store credit towards my next purchase. I told the customer svc rep that her apologies and offer of a store credit did nothing to solve the original problem of a customer being unable to find a store sales associate for assistance.

I've noticed, watching Best Buy's sales associates, that they allow themselves to get easily bogged down in rambling and off topic conversations with customers, many of these customers sounding like they just want attention from somebody and have no intention of buying anything. I watched one associate(last year before Black Friday) talk with an elderly man for fifteen minutes about a coaxial TV cable...without trying once to close the old geezer and get him to buy a cable that sells for what? Ten dollars? Twenty dollars?

I've worked in retail management. When I did my sales associates were taught to hustle, always acknowledge customers(without being pushy), smile and know their products. They were also taught to keep their heads up, practice the habit of looking around and also to learn to wait on 2-3 people simultaneously. I do not believe Best Buy's sales associates put these to use very often.

If that is a reference to me I was delayed in addressing this problem I asked you about because I worked the better part of yesterday(Sunday) and when I got home I fell asleep for a while from fatigue. Just saying.

About best buy yeah one of my friends over at MZ works there until he's done with school and mentioned that yeah it's pretty much the same with all Best Buy's since all the major competition is gone. Basically he told me that they only care about profit. Something they can lose if they don't pay closer attention to customer service, because a lof of people aren't afraid to shop online anymore. I myself will be sending a letter out to corporate and I will most likely either get a phone call from them or a reply letter back with a $50-$100 giftcard attached to it. What I'm hoping to come out of the letter is to get the phone call for my job but some how I doubt that will happen.

As for the second part no Lee it wasn't directed toward you specifically it's been happening a lot recently on other forums I visit as well as in real life for example a week ago my friend came over to get help with his homework which I did help him with and I didn't get a thank you out of it. Was I annoyed a little but mostly happy that I was able to help him considering it was math my weakest subject.

Attached is the letter I composed

Quote:
 
To Whom It May Concern

I’m writing you today to complain about the lack of service and professionalism I’ve received from your company over the past several months. My issues with your company started on January 25th of this year. I had done an online order with in store pick up for the Dead Space 2 Collector’s Edition, which launched that day. This was at the Midland, Michigan store. Later that evening when I went to pick up my item the store had the wrong item waiting for me and I had to wait a good 45 minutes for them to scramble around the store trying to find the right version of the game. When they did find it they didn’t even apologize for making me wait for so long. Also regarding that transaction I was eligible for an arcade game for preordering the game. When I received the e-mail with instructions on how to get the game where it was supposed to tell me the code to get said arcade game online it told me in bold letters to call the Best Buy Customer Service number which I did. I received a case number and had to follow up several times on what was going on with it and as of this writing on the 19th of March I still have not gotten word on the arcade game last I heard was about three weeks ago when they told me my case had been upgraded to tracked status. However my main complaint arises from February 6th when I received a call for a potential job interview from the Midland, Michigan Best Buy. I had missed the initial call because my phone was charging and when I tried returning the call the lines had severe static on them and I as well as the customer service agent I spoke with on the phone couldn’t hear anything. At first I thought it might have been my cell phone but I tried calling back on a different phone only to get the same result. Later that evening I retried calling again this time the lines where static free however the phone just kept ringing and ringing. Finally I decided to give up and just call the next day. I got a hold of an agent and he took my information. I waited a few days and heard nothing so I stopped into that store again they took my information. Still hadn’t heard anything so I called back on the 13th of February and they again retook my information and was told that the manager that was in charge of hiring was on vacation and when he or she got back I’d get a phone call to reschedule. I waited a couple of weeks and still haven’t heard anything so I went into the store again to take care of some other things and again they took my information this was about two weeks ago and I still have not heard anything. I’ve been a loyal customer to your company for over 15 years now and I find it absurd the customer service and the lack of professionalism I’ve received. I’m supposed to be penalized because your store doesn’t have proper working phone lines? Because of this I will be taking my business elsewhere and telling my numerous friends and family who also shop at your store the same thing. I know my brother in law has also received poor service from that same store.

Sincerely

I think you're old enough to realize that sometimes in life we help others out and occasionally get no gratitude from those we help and in even worse cases the person helped takes credit for the work themselves without any mention of the person who assisted them. I have experienced this many, many times in life with people who only care about themselves and their own advancement, personal and otherwise. I've learned not to get upset about it. It has also served as a reminder that I need to be more selective about who I help in the future.

It normally doesn't bother me but with all the other stress in my life little things have been setting me off as of late.

And yeah hopefully I get something from Best Buy I want the job more than the gift card so hopefully that's what comes out of it.
