Mar. 4th, 2013 06:44 amYeah. Should've mentioned in my previous entry that Mom already agreed to ship everything out that I sold on Ebay while she's at work today. Also tried before to download Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Star Wars, and Bad Piggies with what was left on my card after I shipped those DVDs to Chelle, but it didn't go through. Like with DeviantArt, I was told that the Angry Birds store wasn't gift-card-friendly when I asked, but there is also the fact that their headquarters is located in Finland, and my gift card was only valid in the United States. But then again, Nintendo is centered in Japan, and since I was able to buy points through the Wii Shop Channel, and then able to buy more points on DeviantArt afterwards, geography shouldn't have been a problem. I should have been able to buy the three Angry Birds games the first time around. At least with DeviantArt, I still had yet to activate both gift cards, and the Visa only worked because I already own a Visa debit card, allowing the site to confirm the same account.
Well, there's no going back now. Let's just hope that my points pan out for something, be it for ideas for Starbound or for actual commissions in the future. Who knows, I might actually need to buy even more points at some point. Plus, it will be more fun, once I buy each game, when they'll have more content to install later on than they've got right now.

As of yesterday, I spent what was left on my gift card on an Instant TAKE 5 upon coming with Mom down to the shop. Got three TAKE5 symbols, which means I get a freebie. That can probably wait, though, until Dad pays me for cutting some branches near Masem Court (and I will be expecting payment) and I drive with Mom to the bank to deposit it, unless Dad stays home from work again and takes today's turn to drive down to feed the cats (in which case, I'll be sure to remind him beforehand to alert me).
Also reminded Aunt Allison last night to mail me that freebie I won a few days before Christmas. She had called Mom on her cell phone, and I overheard them talking about how Grandma Ella's relationships with everyone aren't as good as those among the rest of us. Initially, I thought Mom was talking to someone else about Allison's relationships with her own kids, and came out to tell "them" that she also never sent me that free-play I won several months ago.
