HELP! My Basset Hound ate my EOJ camera stand!

PigMan11

does anyone know how to get another one? Without, of course, buying the game again? That damn dog. I need to get my EOJ fix on!

MayGodHaveMercy

I originally thought this was a joke...

Your dog has good taste.

Have you tried contacting the developer/manufacturer?

Nitsuj82

Build a new stand from the bones of the basset hound.

There has to be a way to get one from the manufacturer. You can't be the only person who has had this problem or one similar to it.

PigMan11

So who is the manufacturer? Is it Hasbro? Or should I try to contact Sony. And no it isn't a joke. I do love the little fucker though. He just needs to keep his snout away from my camera stand!

MistaCreepy

lol this thread is too good to be true.

In all seriousness contact Sony... I think they manufactured the eye... they might have a spare parts list. Nintendo had one way back in the day when you needed some obscure cord or case.

You'd think you'd have like 10 minutes to stop him starting from the moment he eyes your stand before he hauls his massive, slow, and awkward bulk over to the stand before he even begins to gnaw on it.

At least this is how I picture Basset Hounds moving. Like Jabba the Hutt moving around across your kitchen floor complete with slug like slime trail.

PigMan11

Actually he's quite spry. I also have a Lab, and the Lab keeps him busy, so he's in pretty good shape. That and the fact he's still a pup (14 months old), he gets around quite well. I actually ran down to the store and didn't cage him, so it is my fault. He is obstinate though, if he doesn't want to do something, he doesn't do it. The little bastard. Oh Fred, why did you eat my stand?!!?!?

PigMan11

Oh I forgot to add, the slime trail is right on the money though. He can't take a drink from his water dish without dunking those long ass ears in the water, so he is generally making a mess all the time, dragging water everywhere.

PigMan11

Well it's not available from the Sony store main site. They sent me a link to a parts site or something. I think I am going to have to call their parts department.

Kagera

Um, is the dog okay though?

Ha ha, I grew up with a basset. Little fuckers will eat anything. Mine once swallowed a fruitcake whole, as evidenced a few hours later by the gigantic rectangular lump in her belly. I think she regretted that one.

But they're bassets, so you have to love them anyway.

PigMan11

He didn't actually swallow the whole thing, he just chewed part of the base (still functional), and the top piece that the camera snaps into(fucked beyond repair). So, the only one feeling any pain at this point is me.

PigMan11

Even more pain. Sony has told me that he camera stand cannot be purchased separate from the game. So I guess at this point it's time to break out the super glue and scrap plastic and see what I can come up with. Stupid Sony. Stupid dog.

DevilGuy

call their customer service, and be obstinate about it, they won't hang up on you, they're not allowed to, if you just act stupidly stubborn they'll probably send you a new one, the trick is to be more stupid and insistent than they are.

poisnedcoke

Post pics of the basset hound, maybe jimmy together a stick or something for the camera, whatever.


The important thing is the basset hound.

TheUnsane1

My money says Lego is your most likely solution.

Another thread here disagrees with you

CZroe

Every game like that I've ordered had an order form or contact information for spare parts in the back of the manual. Checked yet? They are often serviced by someone other than the distributor or console maker. For example, Sammy serviced the Steel Battalion controller instead of Capcom or Microsoft.

If that doesn't work, perhaps you could work out a complete game + camera + stand + original cards exchange and do it as an RMA. They typically charge for disc replacement services, but it should be worth it in this case.

PigMan11

Hey poisoned, I see you're from Cincy as well. why is a picture of the hound important? I see what i can do about getting an image of Fred.

PigMan11

Ok here for a limited time only are a couple of pictures of Fred, the amazing camera stand eating Basset Hound:


And here is another shot where he is "showing his stuff" (that is a direct quote from my mother, who obviously is a dirty old lady):


So anyone have a camera stand that they don't want to use anymore?

ben0207

Can't someone with the game just post what height and angle it needs to be and you can knock one together with Lego or meccano?

PigMan11

it's not that big of a deal really. i mean I think it sucks that Sony or someone doesn't offer the ability to buy a replacement, but there is enough of the stand left for me to glue something together. At this point I am just going for the comedy. I mean it is funny, you go your whole life using the ol' "my dog ate <insert whatever here>" excuse, and then it actually happens. I found it amusing.

I had a basset once who got drunk eating a box of chocolate liqueurs (he avoided the coffee flavored ones but ate all the others). They definitely will eat anything, and will ignore you if they don't want to do what you want them to do. I don't really have any advice about EOJ, but I enjoy stories about bassets doing stupid things.

See if it doesn't get too costly.

fkn creep

Kinda OT, but: how is EOJ? I recently picked up a PS3 cause my 360 did the RROD *grumble*
Did they fix the issue with printing cards off the net?

PigMan11

I think scans of the cards will continue to work. It really doesn't ruin the game though if someone is cheating. The restrictions on what you can actually have in your deck make it pretty fair regardless of the cards a person has. I love the game though, a lot of fun. Thanks TheLawinator, I will check it out. I dropped the guy a line, he wants $20 just to ship it. That seems a bit much.
