I've it preordered with Game Stop I think. Won't bother with the midnight launch, probably pick it up Tuesday morning. Off work till the Thursday so I'll get a good run at it

Lockie paid, like a fool. Nah your man hasn't paid rent and is going bankrupt. Good laugh.

So those 2 only have 3 more days of free stuff

Any of you guys trading in your Xbox 360 for the One?

I'm reluctant to let go of the MW2/3, Black Ops (less so Black Ops 2) if I trade in - but having two consoles is plain extravagance

Won't be upgrading my system till probably early next summer but hope to be able to keep the 360 for those nights where I'm feeling nostalgic

KERSPLAT! · 14-09-2013 4:20pm

Won't have the One till after the New year I'd say

I'll probably keep the 360 just for Mw2 and BLOPs

See what i did there :cool::cool::cool:

Cossax · 15-09-2013 2:37pm

I dunno what I'll do, I'll keep the 360 but it's more which of the next gen consoles I'll buy - the PS4 looks pretty tempting TBH.

I'm in the same mind as you... ideally I'd like both the PS4 and the X-Bone, that will never happen though

Cossax · 15-09-2013 3:34pm

At the same time though, I don't wanna be a PS Wanker.

I've got in coming via Amazon tomorrow morning. Decided only today to take Wednesday off work to play it. Bit of a mexican stand-off going on here trying to negotiate the time off with my manager

You only need to give 2 hours notice to call in sick, you can say it is personal and you dont need to give a reason.

If you are sick for 3 consecutive days you will need to give a doctors note and a fit to work cert but after 3 days of playing it non stop you will be a jellied malnourished mess of a man.

Managers can huff and puff about days off but they cant make you work when you are 'sick', they might know you are lying but cannot call you out on it and can only ask for a doctors note and if you do not bring one in they dont gotta pay you. You can spoof the doctor with stress and depression and how you need time off work as it is too much for you.

If you have your contract handy there should be a paragraph about sick days near the end. The above is Irish working law so no idea about the lads who take the queens shilling.

Just call in sick.

Bit late for that now - I've already mentioned time off so the sickie will be pretty obvious. I get on well with my manager so wouldn't lie to him like that. Worse case scenario I'll play it in the evenings

Ah yeah, obvious but they cant do anything about it apart from bitch about you behind your back. They cant ever say it to your face or it is 'bullying'.

Probably best to only do it to gowl managers though.

I just got a text now to go work at 10 in the morning tomorrow. balls

x43r0 · 16-09-2013 2:58pm

Time off approved!

Makaveli · 16-09-2013 3:44pm

Amazon haven't dispatched mine yet the pricks.

Will just have to keep going for diamond pistols while I wait for it.

x43r0 · 16-09-2013 3:53pm
