Ive fallen victim of package theft, it's always a bummer. when it's amazon, it's not so bad since theyre usually pretty quick to replace. but other vendors can sometimes be a hassle.
Hi Emily so sorry to hear that your packages got stolen. I'm glad you found a solution to have your packages mailed to family members. The rest of your video of the posters you got the figurines, games & 4k blu ray all awesome. I watch your vids for the amazing content you bring, how you tell it & your interesting back stories.
Great pick ups Emily. I picked up Soul Hackers 2 for really cheap recently as well. Sorry about your packages, I think most us have experienced that and it sucks. It made me not trust my neighbors in my building which was really disappointing.
Ugh, thats’s terrible, sorry you had to go through that. I’ve had some packages taken from my front porch in the last few months too and it made me want to get a ring doorbell just for the camera. Thankfully they were all games and items from Amazon and they’re pretty good about replacing stolen packages.
In NYC, folks will “borrow” Amazon vests and hats to identify as delivery people or just outright buzz and say UPS/USPS etc so that they’ll get let in and then they’ll steal packages. We always ask who the delivery is for (name not apartment) anytime someone buzzes now
Unfortunate and sorry to hear about the porch thief incident, some people are truly low and pathetic.. On a positive note though, i'm happy the rest of your pick ups came in safely! Ghost of Tsushima on the PS5 runs like a dream, one of the best looking games to date, and i hope you're able to get to it soon Emily!
Sorry to hear about your packages, I had that happen once too. Although mine were just clothes not games, thankfully I no longer live there and haven't had it happen again since. Love the Zack poster! My favorite Final Fantasy character is tied between Kain from FF4 and Balthier from FF12, but Zack is definitely in my favorites!
I live in an apartment building in Boston and many college students rent here. Few years ago we had 3 college guys stealing ppls packages in the lobby we found out as a girl whom had her package stolen put a tracking device inside it just in case. so it pinpointed the culprits. They had a ton of boxes in their apartment and were soon evicted. UPS and FEDEX have been the worst at delivering packages. they will sometimes put the packages outside where thousands of ppl walk by our building an hour and yes ppl have stolen them. its like 1 foot from the door to open the lobby. Sorry for what happened to you, you are definitely not alone
Mail theft is rampart in Los Angeles! The tenants in my building have been victim of mail theft too. I was told that people put USPS master key to the mailboxes on ebay! I have not confirmed whether such claim is true but not surprised if it is. Please make sure you file a police report and use that report to make a claim with your bank or credit card company. They reimbursed me.
Such a fun haul! Those art books so so lovely. I definitely want to pick up Pentiment as well. Sorry about your stolen items but I'm glad you have a plan to keep your packages protected in the future 👍
This happened at my friends complex, the management installed hidden cameras in the mailroom. They ended up finding the culprit that way. Some of the packages were returned to people but the guy sold several on ebay.
Soul hackers is one of the best games to come out in the last four or five years, it’s absolutely incredible. Amazing story, amazing characters fantastic music great visuals absolutely top-tier game
I’m sorry about your package theft. It’s something that occurs in my mind every time i order something online. Great haul though! I played ghost of Tsushima both on ps4 and 5. It’s so beautiful
Thursdays are now my favorite day of the week. 🙂 So sorry to hear that your packages were stolen... just a friendly reminder that you could never trust anyone these days. You should get a PO box for your mail, much safer.
Soul Hackers is an aquired taste...if you go in hopping for P6, you will hate it...but if you go in without any prior comparison, you might end up loving it. I really think is truly underappreciated
Love all the Trails art books the sky/crossbell ones look so good hopefully i'll be able to get as much trails merch as you one day on a side not where/when did you pick up your coldsteel 1 collectors edition i've been meaing to find one without the blue ps4 logo on top. heres to more great hauls emily!
Hi Dr. Emily. If you have an angle out of a window where you can see your door you can set up a little webcam with a program like Yawcam to take pictures and/or video when it detects motion. You could also use what's called a "trail cam", which is standalone and does the same thing. Alternatively, you could bluff and put up a "Cameras in Use" sign.
When I stayed in NY. Mostly they left parcel at door due to huge backlog they have to deliver. Surely it will get stolen if I didn’t collect within few hours.
Iam sorry to hear about games lost in the mail, it has happened to me once and man it socks. However Star Ocean The Second Story can't go bad with that one, it's awesome! The best remaster done so far. It got 99 endings and many characters to have aswell.
Sorry to hear that your packages got stolen which is an example of why i hate it whenever mail carriers leave packages unattended especially when they leave the packages without at least ringing the door bell or without knocking. Also, it's an example of why it's wiser to keep track of the tracking number of your incoming packages to ensure what time do you expect your packages to be delivered to your home so you can immediately grab your delivered packages the moment that your packages arrives. As for the thief' if that thief isn't a resident from your apartment complex building who managed to bypass security' then they should beef up the security there but if that thief is a resident there' i would immediately have that thief evicted if i were the manager there since i would have a zero-tolerance property theft policy. That thief is another example of why people in general suck in my eyes. If that thief doesn't get caught by authorities at all' then Karma will.
There are certified Amazon lockers (or something) where you can have things mailed to. Like at drug stores or dept. stores. Near me Kohl's have them. Another option while you have Assassin's Creed Black Flag package pirates in your mail room.
It sucks when someone steals your package…I have it delivered to a specific area which helps but when the driver chooses not to follow it. The theft happens. It’s not fun.
Out of all the great stuff in this video, the game and item that stood out to me were: Ghost of Tsushima, and the double sided Xenoblade acrylic charms. The tarot cards really look amazing, but I'm unfamiliar with the series it's based on (I thought tarot cards were only used for telling the future, so a 1-4 player fully cooperative board game? Now I'm kinda curious of the rules and how it's played 😅).
Zack is also my favorite of the FF7 characters, though I prefer the old VA for him. I’ve also been playing Star Rail, and though it suffers a bit from being a gacha, I’ve been enjoying the story.
I finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim yesterday. I can understand why some people consider it only greatness but for me who even reads books very slowly this game was mentally very exhausting. The very complicated story was impossible for me to track and even in the end when it was all uncovered it didn't make much sense to me. It's true that even a very good game is not for everyone. I might not play any more visual novels after this one.
If you got something rare/unique lifted you can call gamestops etc and scour eBay to see if it's being sold. Filing a report with your local pd can put out a watch for it should it show up at a pawn shop...
If your building is that sus and it was a neighbor it's not a bad idea to get a blink system or something like that for your place. If your building doesn't have cameras and you have a sketch neighbor not a bad idea to give yourself some assurance to protect what you have...
It's still baffling to me as a European that delivery services just toss your packages near your door and then its in destiny's hands if you actually pick them up or someone else. Here, where I live, delivery service sends you a message with a time frame of when the goods will be delivered, followed by a call, 5 minutes before they arrive. Then they deliver them straight to your hands and you need to sign that you actually received them. If for some reason you are not available, they will return another day. Fix your sh*t, Americans.
@@Red_Sutter Well, it ain't happening in my country with the system we have in place. Also, majority of complaints of stollen goods I see on the internet, come from America.
while i have not been a victim of package theft (I dont think its common in my immediate area, since alot of people around here have stuff literally lying around on the porches for days lol, including packages), I've had more cases of "shipping complications" whenever USPS is involved, especially when it crosses the border up here. I hate USPS. I trust packages coming overseas especially play-asia shipments that take a good month to come here way more than USPS lol
very sorry to hear you had your packages stolen Ems😢😢I've had friends and family who had this happen to them and every time it happens it infuriates me! people who do that are scum imo. great hall otherwise and i like those trails artbooks!
I have to say, you will enjoy Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince even more if you play Dragon Quest 4 first. Since you have a 3DS and very likely a smartphone, you can play it on both. As for how it compares to a Pokémon game, it's similar to Pokémon Legends Arceus but in my opinion, it's even better though I am a huge Dragon Quest fan (and a DQ4 fan, of course). Emily, you have to get Dragon Quest 3 too! You'll see how much it's the origin of the JRPG formula. For example, if you played Pokémon Gold/Silver back in the day, you'll instantly notice DQ3 influence on that game.
People are mean. And being mean to you is not cool. Hopefully your change in shipping addresses will be the thing to prevent it from happening again. I played some of Pentiment a few weeks ago I really liked it. I'd like to go back and finish it.
You should also play Dirge of Cerberus, Remake dives into that a bit as well. I'm personally not a fan of the Complete version of FF7 AC, it force extends a lot of scenes which ruins the rhythm of the scenes, so it loses some of its emotional impact. That's just my opinion. I really need to get back into trails. I fell off with Cold Steel 1, but I've bought every CE since. They are all sitting there on my shelf mocking me. Really stocked about Sky FC coming later this year. I hope they have SC not to far behind, the first time waiting for SC was a torture.
Sadly you can't trust anyone these days.. just make arrangements to have your packages shipped to a secure and safe location from this point forward as you already planned to in video ;p
Package theft starting to become a thing in my suburban town 🥲 If it's from Amazon, I try to send it to a locker that most of the convenience stores in my neighborhood have now. Sorry for jerk faces being jerks to you, definitely not cool

haha thats crazy. i was born and raised in brooklyn (moved about three years ago), but i hadnt heard of people doing that at the time. smh lol
NYC is such a shithole lmao, figuratively and literally.
And Ghost of Tsushima is wonderful!! 😊
Unfortunate and sorry to hear about the porch thief incident, some people are truly low and pathetic..
On a positive note though, i'm happy the rest of your pick ups came in safely!
Ghost of Tsushima on the PS5 runs like a dream, one of the best looking games to date, and i hope you're able to get to it soon Emily!
Very unfortunate thank you. Had some games stolen. Keep up the good work and the good videos. We appreciate it.
So sorry that your packages were stolen Emily. Outside of that, your haul is great! Loving the Etrian Odyssey Nexus pickup in particular!
Sorry to hear about your packages, I had that happen once too. Although mine were just clothes not games, thankfully I no longer live there and haven't had it happen again since.
Love the Zack poster! My favorite Final Fantasy character is tied between Kain from FF4 and Balthier from FF12, but Zack is definitely in my favorites!
Wow that’s crazy. That apartment complex should reimburse you or fire staff responsible for the mailroom
That's not how that works. Move out of your parents' basement and experience real life
Wow, I'm sorry to hear what happened to your package. Thanks for the show n tell too 😊😊😊

Huge bummer about the stolen items. However, what an awesome video! Thank you for the shout out on the books! Had no idea they were even around.

I have tried to get into trails but haven't been able to. but I still love your channel for your content!
I'm sorry this happened to you. I've been stolen from before. It's a horrible feeling. Hopefully you can get them at somepoint at a good price.
@14:20 The Tiffa fight is my favorite scene in that movie and the music is top tier
I’m sorry about your package theft. It’s something that occurs in my mind every time i order something online. Great haul though! I played ghost of Tsushima both on ps4 and 5. It’s so beautiful

So many great pickups! Im hoping that Soul Hackers 2 will get a Switch 2 version so that i can finally play it.
great pickups 😬especially the art books

I would wait at front desk/door the day package is supposed to comes. Also, have ring camera
Aw sorry to hear that. One of things I hate living in apartment complex. Hopefully your apartment management sorts this out.
I rarely ever order online mostly because I live in an apartment complex and when I do order I order it to my sisters house
Hope you're well, Emily. ❤
i actually just bought Harvestella this week! cant wait to play it :D
It’s sad that people do that. I have had that happen to me as well . I hope you can get those games again.
Girl, your taste in gaming is incredible (way too close to mine lol).
I just happened to pick up Etrian Odyssey to play on the Switch recently.
It sucks when someone steals your package…I have it delivered to a specific area which helps but when the driver chooses not to follow it. The theft happens. It’s not fun.
Nice pick ups definitely recommend live a live 2d-hd remake if you enjoy star ocean, Live a live is a masterpiece on switch

You have to be joking if you think mail theft is only something that happens in America
@@Red_Sutter Well, it ain't happening in my country with the system we have in place. Also, majority of complaints of stollen goods I see on the internet, come from America.
I'm so sorry that happened to yourself.
Second story remake/remaster is great, Its was awesome on ps1 and is great on switch or PS
I am sorry for your packages
while i have not been a victim of package theft (I dont think its common in my immediate area, since alot of people around here have stuff literally lying around on the porches for days lol, including packages), I've had more cases of "shipping complications" whenever USPS is involved, especially when it crosses the border up here.

I don't know if there are cameras in your complex maybe they can catch them.
that really blows, hope they're installing some cameras?
Amazon has some limited Run Games $20 and under.

Will Renter's insurance do anything? :(
Sadly you can't trust anyone these days.. just make arrangements to have your packages shipped to a secure and safe location from this point forward as you already planned to in video ;p
If you bought through Amazon or something similar, you can ask for a refund. Worth a shot at the least.
Apartment complex mailrooms are the worse. Sorry that happened but it’s a cheap lesson in the grand scheme of things
You lost weight
Bummer
Package theft starting to become a thing in my suburban town 🥲
