My Own Horrible Experience with Credit Cards

February 12, 2009 - 7:16 am No Comments

I just read Jepoy’s blog about irate credit card customers. As much as I want to feel for the customer service representative I can’t help remembering my past experiences with credit card companies.

Last year I had a particular Credit Card that was at its limit. I was financially bed ridden that time despite my job I was failing at my payments.

I was Stalked by a Stalker Named Tim Cumper

The Videogame Fan is a personal blog. Although I tend to veer from one topic to another my blog’s roots can be traced to videogames.

As of yesterday I have never posted anything against Tim Cumper. I need to state that before I start since I have been having trouble with a very… ugh… “famous” person who recently commented on my blog.

A post against Cancer

Forgive me for straying away from Videogames but I promised a friend that I’d write an article about cancer. After too much time in the internet I still wasn’t able to make one so I made something else. It’s not an article but its still about cancer so I hope you like it.

Introducing My Friends!

I’d like to take this moment to introduce my blogging buddies to my avid readers. (What avid readers?) As I was saying fame and fortune may come and go but good friends will always be there for you. (What fame and fortune?) Huh!? Shut up! Sorry guys I’m talking to myself again. I’m fine really the doctor said my imaginary friend would disappear after I drink my medicine.

Clearing My Name and GameOPS of the False Accusations of Pierre Tito Galla (AKA The Jester-In-Exile)

December 28, 2008 - 9:29 am 9 Comments


Let me share a little about me. You might find me as a newbie in the world of blogging but actually I’ve been around for some time now. Since high school I have been a part of GameOPS, a gaming website very much like my own. This is where I got all my talents and skills.

My friend Jepoy and I originally shared a dream of beating GameFAQS in its infancy. A stupid notion nowadays but then we believed it was conceivable. We were alone in cyberspace there were no communities then and we had nobody to ask questions from except ourselves.

GameOPS has had its ups and downs. We were graduating and we found time for GameOPS less and less but we struggled. We provided all our resources over our dream despite gaining nothing in return. We didn’t have page rank, we didn’t know how good we are, we don’t even know if people are reading our work.
