Buyer Beware, Ubisoft Store staff lies.

If you plan on shopping at the Ubisoft online store, be aware that your item may not ship for several weeks, despite them charging $10 for delivery within a week. They also charge you before the items ship, which is something not many online retailers do. Yet when I question them about this, their "E-Commerce Support" representative, Roxanne Geering, told me that this is something "similarly to almost any online retailer" which simply isn't true. Furthermore when I listed examples of over six other online retailers that don't do this, they refused to acknowledge this information. Ubisoft Customer Support will do anything to take your money, including not honoring a cancellation request. After the appalling way I was treated, I asked for my item to be cancelled and to be refunded, but instead they shipped it. After telling me it would take a few more days, as soon as I asked for cancellation, they shipped to try and force my hand.

I decided to keep the item, since it already shipped. I will also not take further action which is what I was planning on doing if they refused to cancel, had my item not shipped. But I still want to warn other people against shopping with the Ubisoft online store. If you want an Ubisoft game, buy it elsewhere such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, or Amazon. If you planned on getting one of the exclusive items on the Ubisoft store, just save your money. It's not worth the aggravation.

The complaints about Rey in The Force Awakens are stupid

For nearly a year I've been hearing people complain about Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the number one complaint is that she's able to use The Force without any training. Let me now explain why this complaint is unwarranted and stupid.

Let us remember that Luke Skywalker only received limited training from Obi-Wan Kenobi while aboard the Millennium Falcon, and it was mostly just using the lightsaber. Yet he was able to tap into The Force in order to target the exhaust port on the first Death Star, and also to retrieve his lightsaber in the Wampa cave.

Let us also remember that Anakin Skywalker, as a child, was able to tap into The Force to see things before they happened, thus allowing him to be the only human to compete in Podracing. His Force abilities let him win the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, thus securing his freedom from Watto.

Then there's Leia Organa. Choosing to stay in politics, and presumably never trained by her brother, she was still able to tap into The Force to sense that Han Solo was murdered on Starkiller Base.

So there have been multiple examples of people using The Force without being trained. Training just lets you master those skills, but they are always there; it just depends on how many Midi-chloroxian you have.

Don't buy from Pro Impact Boxing on Amazon

Pro Impact Boxing sells used items under the label of new. Do not fall for this scam. I recently purchased an item from this 3rd party seller on Amazon and it arrived open, with the figure inside upside-down, a chip taken out of it, and accessories missing. The seller clearly bought the item just for the accessory inside, then threw the figure back in the box in a sloppy rush to resell it; but as a "new" item so they can get the full price for it.

This is a Public Service Announcement for anyone thinking of buying anything from this seller, DO NOT BUY. Instead look for the item from another seller, or even another website.

Luckily I was able to get a refund from Amazon, and I re-ordered from a different seller. But this is something that should never have happened. If Pro Impact Boxing had any morals at all, they would have listed the item properly; as a used item with accessories missing. But they didn't, because they are unethical and just looking to rip people off.
