A few people are saying the flash sales are gone because people have been abusing the refund system by buying games while they're on sale for extra cheap, waiting until they return to the less discounted sale price, and then asking for their money back and getting its current price in return. That seems like it'd be a really easy fix though, so I don't know if I believe it.

afaik if you do this you only get back the amount of money you put in.

Also isn't this sale actually good for gamers cause didn't Valve say they were just pricing everything at the lowest price it would have ever been posted anyway? Gamers are retards.

Something tells me it may not be entirely legit.

Semi-legit. It says no online play, which normally means Russian key seller.

I've desperately searched for someplace that has MXC closed captioned or subtitled, to no avail :( I'm deaf, so they really aren't optional for me. Similarly, finding subtitled MST3K episodes is a pain in the rear end when Netflix keeps taking them back down.

The Schaden is me. Entertainment distributors care not for me and my broken ilk. :emo:

What gives these guys the idea to run halfway across the drat store? Why don't they just pretend to be holding everything normally, wait until a cashier is looking away, and then casually saunter past the exit before sprinting outside?

Did you like how the camera followed and stayed in focus of the action and the guy noticed it coming? Security cameras don't do that so you have stdh.mp4

The camera didn't follow him. It's a recording of a video playing on a computer monitor.

Were the roll-the-film-back-and-forth-repeatedly gags a part of the original, or was that added along with the MXC editing? Hearing those dubbed-in Wilhelm-scream-like squawks of pain over and over while they flail into a pond was one of the best parts.

It's from a news site so it might be staged but let's hope it's not.

To be fair, a green pump handle is universal for diesel. Yellow is universal for E85.

The gas station should really change the color of the handle.

On the other hand, diesel and regular are never pumped from the same handle, so in order to even get any gas from that, they actually had to select something other than "Diesel" when the pump prompted them to select the fuel grade.

As you said, it's probably staged anyway.

... select fuel grade? Where you live, you don't just take a handle out and that will set the pump to that type of fuel for that transaction?

Different gas stations have different methods. Even with the ones with the separate pumps you still have to select the fuel grade. This is in Michigan and Texas anyway.

Not in the UK it isnt, green is unleaded, black is diesel (and 4 Star when it was around was red.)

edit: Not wanting to contribute to a derail, but the colour matches up for the UK.

Typically they totally separate the diesel pump from the regular anyways. Plus I thought the pump itself wouldn't fit in correctly between the two either.

I can't remember what they're called, so Googling is proving fruitless, but does anyone have a video of drivers in the UK following behind buses and hitting those steel poles used for designated routes? I can't find anything about these things, but I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine them.
