How to know if headphones are genuine or fake?

ganondork — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 17:58:31 +0800

Bought a pair of PreSonus headphones at a C&M store (they also sell guitars and all that stuff) but I can't tell if it's ori or a fake like all the fake Beats by Dr. Dre sold in usual mall shops. I usually check for spelling errors on the box but nothing looks out of the ordinary here. It sounds okay but cant know for sure.

My batteries leaked green acid and caused some major corrosion on the steel pin for the batteries. Searched online for help and they said use vinegar or toothpaste but the thing seems damaged beyond any repair I can handle.

Got any shop in JB that can replace the battery pins for Xbox One controllers?

ganondork — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 20:38:13 +0800

a long time ago i bought one of the gold silver version from a mall but the text are all weird. it looks like it's an english translated version of the japanese versions (since it has the japanese style of pokemon status screen). the names of the pokemon are shortened (totodile becomes TOTOD) and the names of the towns and all that are romanized version of the japanese names (new bark town is written as wakaba town).

how to ship parcels?

ganondork — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 15:48:52 +0800

i got ordered many things online before but got no idea how to ship anything elsewhere.

how do i even begin to pack the items? it's a collection of books but dont know where to buy bubble wraps and cardboard boxes or anything else required to ship a parcel.

i'm planning to ship to the usa and since the shipping fee will definitely bump the value up to rm500, that means will kena custom duty tax also. do i have to go to custom there and pay?

How do game shops in malaysia get products from?

ganondork — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 15:20:52 +0800

nowadays original games and consoles so expensive, if importing in bulk from other country damn expensive and will incur import tax and customs inspection that will mess up the boxes right?

even back when it's all pirated or modded games/consoles, who the one doing the supplying and the modding? Like those 100-in-1 stuff. They can fake the boxes and the game carts, but the manual is either black/white or absent and Pokemon FRLG doesnt come with wireless adapters.

Burger King vs McDonald's

ganondork — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 11:03:14 +0800

I would include KFC too but its main focus is chicken (and the burgers are so small there).

I only know of one Burger King near me (in a Petronas gas station), but haven't got enough time and money to go there regularly. On the other hand, there's a McD even nearer to me (in a mall), I go there for lunch pretty much all the time (McValue Lunch & Dinner is a blessing from God) and have pretty much tasted everything that has ever been on McDonald's menu since 2010, but in Burger King I have never ordered anything other than a Whopper because I keep forgetting how it taste like. Aside from McD, KFC, and BK, there are no other popular American fast food chain near me in JB.

For McDonalds, Big Mac is easily the best (Double Cheeseburger a close second), whereas in my opinion I think Filet-O-Fish is the worst (same price as Double Cheeseburger but as small as KFC's burgers). The chicken, as expected, is not as good as KFC's (so small! but I think KFC's chicken has gotten smaller too since 2005 and the gravy doesn't taste as great as before). I have never seen a McCafe in real life though and there doesn't seem to be any near me. How's the drinks there?

For Burger King, I only went there like 3 or 4 times and only ordered Whopper, so I'm not sure how to judge it. I even forgot how Whopper tastes like. I think Whopper is the same thing as Big 'N Tasty? How are the other burgers/chicken/other food there?

History of video games in Malaysia?

ganondork — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 03:28:06 +0800

I find it that pretty much all the younger generations these days have no idea how video games came to Malaysia. I don't too. So for future's sake, let's document the arrival, lifespan, and popularity of arcades, and each console/handheld generations throughout the years, and to see how far back video gaming has been in Malaysia. Basically, I need those who have lived long enough to explain all that. This is kinda a tricky issue though, because while I have never seen any pre-PS2 consoles/games in a shop (or anything in that generation like Gamecubes, Xbox, or Dreamcast), I have seen things like bootleg GBC games and what seems to be bootleg SNES cartridges in very old shops. So there's the trouble of dealing with the history of bootlegs and pirated video games (anyone remember those handheld Tetris?), how they compare with the quantity of original materials here, and anything relevant.

How to port forward on Innacomm W3410N?

ganondork — Sun, 20 Dec 2015 18:09:46 +0800

Just upgraded to TM 8mbps, which comes with a new modem Innacomm ADSL-Maritime-W3410N. I have no problem with port-forwarding on my previous 4mbps W3400v, but this one is just weird. First of all, when I googled for guides, there is no such thing as a W310N. The closest thing to it s a ADSL-Maritime-W3400V6. Secondly, when I get to the Advanced>NAT>Virtual Servers page, there is only TCP and UDP available, no TCP/UDP protocol like the old one. Also, there is no Internal/External Port Start/End.

Also, is it just me, or is 8Mbps internet a lot slower than 4Mbps internet? Because Youtube videos now take forever to load, whereas my 4Mbps fully loads 480p in only a matter of seconds. My downloads now are always at 100-200Mbps even though it's midnight and there's no one else using the Wi-Fi.

[WTB] Digimon Virtual Pet V1 English

ganondork — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 18:12:15 +0800

I'm fine with new or used (but prefer new). Must have the box.

By the way, do they really sell this in Malaysia back then? I thought all these Digivices come from those kedai runcit gashapon machines.

hows it like working at a game store?

ganondork — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 01:40:35 +0800

how do you get a job there, how difficult was it, what's the most stupid thing you were forced to do, how many troublesome customers you get and how you deal with them, hows your boss manager, etc.
