Does the smell of the Launchpad go away ?

Post by Suicide Server » Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:42 pm

Hey guys,

just received the Launchpad and its all fine so far except for the really bad smell it has. I really didnt believe this first but is indeed pretty bad and i already have a headache from it. So does the smell get better over time ? ( I know its just out for a few days :lol: )

Cheers

Well, it is called the Launchpad, maybe it's supposed to make you sick?

Note: "Launch" is North American slang for vomiting, puking, throwing up, hurling, tossing biscuits, regurgitating, etc.
