This Week in League: TWiL #1: Eagle vs Tiger

Interesting…

Dear Twitter,

I love this.

Amazon makes it up to me. For some reason.

This week Amazon had a sale on trade paperbacks and graphic novels. About a week before it started, I had coincidentally done an order for a couple of books - The Buffy Season 8 TBs I don’t have and All-Star Superman Vol 2. The order was held up by my pre-order of Keith and the Girl’s first book.

While the order was still open (but again, before the sale) I tried to add the 5 released Astonishing X-Men books to my existing order. Because you have to actually complete the order to see if they can be combined I had to go through to the checkout. They couldn’t be combined, so I canceled the second order.

Hello,

Our records indicate you recently ordered some stuff. Unfortunately, due to a pricing error, we sold many more than expected. In fact, we completely sold out — we don’t have any in stock right now, and we’re not even sure if we’ll be able to get more.

As a result, we’ve had to cancel your order. I realize this is disappointing news, and I’m so sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

That must have been one heck of a sale.

But then today:

Hello,

We wanted to follow up on a recent message we sent about the cancellation of your recent order.

To recap: Due to a pricing error, we sold many more graphic novels than expected. In fact, we completely sold out — we don’t have any in stock right now, and we’re not sure when we’ll be able to get more.

We’re sorry for any frustration the issue may have caused, and have applied a $25 promotional certificate to your account.

A $25 voucher for not really ordering something Amazon didn’t have any of to begin with? Outstanding.

This very interesting image was emailed to me by my club today.

Notes:

• Dell’s Red V work is paying off for the Dragons
• About 4000 fair weather fans have climbed on the Eels bandwagon.
• The membership stats of the Storm (while not really an issue for them) are pretty indicative of their soulless corporate machine vibe, something the Broncos overcame pretty quickly.
• A whole country cares less about their OK team than Bondi does about their shitty one.
• My team is half a bus load away from last year’s number (though I believe our goal is 6000).

Sony unveils motion controller for PS3 called “Move”

You knew it was coming.

How is it that Sony is able to out-Microsoft Microsoft in the gaming space?

While Xbox360 is doing away with the controller all together, Sony just rips off the Wii.

"Batman exists in a world where he is the only superhero and a similar approach to the ‘Man of Steel’ would assure the integrity needed for the film."

This bug anyone else? Bugs me.

I just had to think pretty hard to remember which ‘Corey’ Corey Haim was.

Early Bird Special: Andy Samberg drops by the set of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon “unannounced” for an “impromptu” performance of classic nerdcore hip hip joint “Lazy Sunday” with guest Chris Parnell and LNwJF house band, The Roots.

Reality Check: Lazy Sunday was so long ago, no-one was able to Tweet about it because Twitter (or rather, Twttr) was still 6 months away.

peterwknox: What’s an Oscar Worth? It Depends on Your Contract

When the Weinsteins hired Waltz, the legendarily parsimonious studio chiefs would not agree to a bonus for any nomination or win, sources tell Vulture. But after Waltz’s chilling portrayal of SS officer Hans Landa electrified critics, his reps moved to secure a $100,000 bonus for a Basterds win from his next employer, Sony Pictures, who had hired him for The Green Hornet.

That’s some great representation.

Scrubs Writers

Haha, no cares about you Scrubs. You aren’t even a real show anymore, you don’t even have Ted.

Matt is my brother-in-Lost. He’s an even bigger fan of the show than me. I’ve never been so proud of anything he’s ever said about it (and we talk about it a lot). Damon and Carlton would be proud too, brother.

S6E07: Dr. Linus

Just fantastic. I’m gonna break this for the benefit of my friends who don’t 0-day the show.
