Teknoman was a good little show. It had a few flaws, but it's what drew me to Tekkman Blade. For being dubbed in 1995, it's a good show.

Ah, sounds like a 'nifty' little program. Might resume blogging if it's that easy. On your recommendation I'm going to have a look at the English version of Tekkaman Blade. I'm hoping that it is about robots with magical powers. Maybe vampire ninja robots.....

Oh I feel your pain about not committing. Also, just felt the need to comment on your blog as you've just started following me on Twitter and it seemed only fair :)

Well that's pretty cool. I'm impressed they're paying attention like that. I'm kind of a shameless gamefly lover and it's little things like that that really make me think they give a shit.

@Chris: I know how great they can be, which is why I was so frustrated. It isn't so much the shipping, it's the queue management and the stupid response that annoys me.

At anyrate, they actually contacted me because of this blog and did what the idiot CSR that emailed me should have done. They actually explained in detail how the shipping system works. Going by what they said, things make a lot more sense. I'll put up a blog post that explains what happened in detail. It's a wonder why no one on the email side of things bothered to go into detail.

Just an alternative perspective here... I mean, I get what you're saying and why you're frustrated but then, at the same time, there's so much about gamefly that's worth the investment for anyone who wants to game and avoid going broke I feel like a shipping issue or two is passable.

For one, their deals on used games are ridiculous. I just got an alert today for one of their big game fire sales as a matter of fact. Here's a link for whatever it's worth although you've probably already heard about it. http://dealnews.com/Game-Fly-Pre-Played-Game-Sale-Up-to-50-off-used-video-games/296506.html

On the queue end... I think it gets more complicated the more you keep in there. At least where getting specific games are concerned. I feel like if you want a random experience then filling up your queue is the way to go. If you want only specific titles then those are the titles you put in your queue and keep it small. Sure, you may wait a couple extras days for something this way but you'll ultimately get what you want. Half the battle is queue manipulation.

I dunno, I've been renting from them for so long now I can't imagine life without them. I look at it this way... you invest something in the low hundreds for a year's worth of the service and probably cycle through... what?... 40/50 games?You'd have to spend well into the thousands if you bought that many games in a year. New or used.

Blockbuster is a joke and will most likely not be around much longer and everything is going the way of online distribution anyway so... well... I guess I'm team gamefly. I feel like gamers would do well to support them more honestly. I think they're genuinely trying.
