All Gen Gamers Joking about the Pandora

About a third of the way through they start griping about the Pandora.


Hoping we can get him a Pandora soon. It was a very awkward situation not giving him a Pandora when I met him at the Expo in Portland.

Sorry for the negative post, we need to make these things positive.

I know, the Pandora needs positive attention - but do we really need this ? Its just so annoying that every E-Mails this guy writes he tells Ed how many thousand followers he has *I'm in dire need of a barf smiley right now*

At this point in time, having a Pandora in that guys hands is much more vital to the project than giving him his money back or leaving him to wait. 40,000 listeners is no joke, this guy being able to quit griping about the Pandora and giving positive endorsement will benefit the project overall because the more units sold to new Pandora users gets those waiting beyond patiently units.

They sound like spoiled brats, but yes, it's probably a good idea to give their shipment some priority. And you better help them to install some software, because otherwise they'll probably mess up their review because they cannot figure out how to put a file in a folder or something.

So.... have where did they order?


Did they send an eMail to me?


I'm normally pretty open and helpful with press guys and bloggers.

I've forwarded you his information ED. Check your emails from me since October.


Ordered January 20th, 2010. Order number is 3 Letters, then 3 Numbers ie: ABC321

Is it a code to hack a bank ?

Not sure who's shop format it is, Craig's or EDs.


If it gets you into a bank, then feel free to send some funding to AES and pay off my student loans.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Sounds like a deal.


I'd also send Craig some oranges ^^.

Its Gamester81. He had posted a few times about it here on this forum like this thread:


or this post:


He is huge in the retro gaming world, has pretty much reviewed every retro gaming console and newer consoles to. This is his web site and youtube channel:

Awww , I liked most of his retro hardware reviews .

Yeah, that's him. Seems like the kind of guy you want in your corner during a bar fight. Glad I still have my nipples (for anyone who listened to the first post audio).

 

[EvilDragon]

Well, I shipped his 1GHz Pandora early this week when I received them... I couldn't send it earlier because I was out of stock as it was pretty much known here.


So it's already on the way.


I hope he appreciates that. He ordered from Craig and I basically sent him the unit on my costs.

EvilDragon , you overtly generous man .


No , seriously you shouldn't have to do that .


I hope he knows and appreciates that .

Wow ED. Thanks for doing that. Looks like I'll be keeping my nipples then next time I run across him.

 

[EvilDragon]

Heh, what a coincidence.


I was just working on my open tickets as well and just replied to his ticket from early September... geez

Seriously ? I actually wasted 10min of my lifetime to listen to this, and after that I wished I had replied to him and send him off to craig instead of assigning his case to Ed.


If I were an 1GHz preorderer I would be outraged that this guy gets an 1 GHz upgrade for free.


And what did craig do with this e-Mail he send out to old preorders? I know he did not meant it that way, but that e-Mail sounds rediculous.

That podcast is horrible.. it's one of those things.. creating something is more than most people will do.

 

[EvilDragon]

I haven't listened to the Podcast yet... but there should be a reason they have 40,000 followers... are are their followers not worth it?

What does followers actually mean ? Following someone/something is just a matter of a click, so I guess no one is asking himself should I do it or not ? So what does this really say, other than over the whole course of their making they got 40000 people you liked that somewhat and probably a lot more that didn't like it.


But even then I'd like to quote my old math teacher "millions of flies think excrements taste really good"....


It's just the bitter taste, that the usual "the loudest baby gets the most attention" process also happens here leaves behind
