Big up to DVDCrave!

February 1st, 2008

DVDCrave is an Australian online store. They sell DVDs and games. I ordered Super Mario Galaxy from them at the end of November last year, because I could not find it anywhere else. I heard about DVDCrave from the local SA gaming forums. People that have ordered from them in the past only have good things to say about them.

So I ordered my copy of Mario. And I waited. And waited. Two months later, nothing. So I email them and tell them that my copy of Mario Galaxy has not arrived, yet. They email me back asking if they should send it again or if they should refund me. Just like that! They don’t even have proof if I’ve got the game or not! They just offered to refund me or send me another copy. No questions asked!

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME service!

Mario Galaxy got released here in SA about a week ago and I bought it. So I asked DVDCrave to refund me. I got the money back in my bank, tonight!

Yay for DVDCrave! Now I know why so many South African gamers sing their praises!

We might kick the Aussies’ asses in Rugby, but they sure as heck destroy us when it comes to customer service! :)

It’s official: São Paulo, here I come!

São Paulo Business DistrictThe wait is over!

I’ve found out today that I am officially going to São Paulo, Brazil. Although this wasn’t my first choice of places where I would like to have gone, I am actually getting quite excited. There is just something exotic about Brazil. I think it’s going to be a blast!

Now all I have to do is learn to speak Portuguese.

Ninty is live!

As promised a few days back, here it is!

Ninty.co.za relaunching!

January 8th, 2008

MarioI have started work on my old site, www.ninty.co.za, again. It used to be a blog about Nintendo and the South African Nintendo community. But it died, because:

  1. I started working and didn’t have time to look for Nintendo news every day; and
  2. I decided to move web hosts

Well, it’s back! Well, almost… And it’s not a blog any more. It’s now just a forum, because it seems the SA gaming community love their forums :) Also, a forum is good, ’cause then I don’t need to update it every single day to keep everyone happy.

You will also notice the new section in the sidebar called ‘My Websites’. Currently, it only has ninty.co.za listed there, but I want to expand that. With my new web host I have lots of hard drive space and lots of monthly bandwidth to use! Stay tuned! :)
