Monday, November 30th, 2009

I remember it was a boy inside a magic library, the books came to life, and it was an animated movie. Does anyone know what movie I’m talking about?

Yep, the Pagemaster. It starred Macaully Culkin and Christopher Loyd, with Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldburg, and Leonard Nimoy doing voices. It’s a mix of live action and animation, based on a children’s book by David Kirschner.

Is it possible to sell video games that belong to a public library?

Monday, November 30th, 2009

If you check out games from a public library, is it possible to then sell those games to a Gamestop without something showing up when they scan the barcode?

Lol public librarys require a valid ID for a library card if I am not mistaken. So not returning those games will result in them fining you. On another note, that’s one pathetic thing to do, get a job.
