It was $9 new at Gamestop.

Odin Sphere was like $12. I wish I didn't buy it full price when it first came out. :(

You have to do it with the PSP hooked to your PC, then copy the file from your PC to your memory stick. There's an app out there for doing this and its pretty easy. It does have teh loading tho iirc.

Quote
    Written by Neil Gaiman; Art by Various; Cover by Dave McKean


The third volume collecting Neil Gaiman's seminal, award-winning series starring the Dream King in deluxe format. ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 3 presents several key SANDMAN tales in a slipcased hardcover edition, including "Brief Lives," in which the Sandman's sister Delirium prevails upon her older brother to help her find their missing sibling, Destruction. But their journey through the Waking World has dramatic repercussions for their family and also for the relationship between the Sandman and his wayward son, Orpheus. Also included is the spectacular short story "Ramadan," a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P. Craig Russell (Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Jungle Book).

Never-before-collected bonus features include pin-up pages from galleries in THE SANDMAN #50 and SANDMAN SPECIAL #1, the Desire story from VERTIGO: WINTER'S EDGE #3, THE ENDLESS GALLERY #1, script and thumbnails from THE SANDMAN #50, and a section on the Endless retail products (poster, statues, t-shirts, Little Endless and more)! Plus, an introduction by artist Jill Thompson.

i really really like sandman and these editions are amazing

the first volume more so because of the recoloring.  it's incredible

but the "extras" are kind of lacking for that first volume, but it seems that they pick up quite a bit in this volume as they did in the previous volume.

With the completion of this, Daryn Cooke's New Frontier, Watchmen and Ronin, I will be a happy camper

I would be a happier camper if i could find the goddamn League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Absolute editions.

All for less than the price of Psychonauts on Xbox Live.  Screw digital distribution until it somehow gets used games and sales.

We had an electrical problem, as the inside lights were staying on even when all the doors were closed. A wire controlling this had worn out and grounded itself, so they had to pull all the paneling out and find the damn thing before they could even replace it. I was expecting a bill around $1,000, so $466 was totally doable.

Cars suck.

My check engine light started mysteriously BLINKING earlier in the week after being lit up for several months.  How many g's do you suppose it's gonna cost me to get that shit turned off?

If it makes you feel better my check engine light seems to be on when my car ISNT having problems. Whenever i've had problems the light turns off.

For a while there was this certain hill I could drive over that would always trigger a change in the check engine light lol.

As far as I know, the light doesn't come on unless you're having a problem specifically related to the electronics.  Far more often than not, the problem the light comes on for isn't even a big deal, but I've never heard of one blinking (and neither has anyone else I've talked to about it).  I'm going to take it to a mechanic tomorrow morning and have them run the error codes and I'm hoping they'll just tell me I need to get my plugs and wires replaced.

blinking is usually related to the fuel system.

I'll leave the teaching to Wiki, as they're much more eloquent about it than I could be:

Set in New York City, Mad Men takes place in the 1960s at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on New York City's Madison Avenue and centers on Don Draper, a high-level advertising executive, and the people in his life in and out of the office. It also depicts the changing social mores of early 1960s America.

Mad Men depicts the society and culture of the early 1960s, highlighting cigarette smoking, drinking (alcoholic beverages), sexism, and racial bias as examples of how that era, not so long ago, was so radically different from the present.[4][5] Smoking, more common in 1960 than it is now, is featured throughout the series; almost every character can be seen smoking multiple times in the course of one episode.[4] In the pilot, representatives of Lucky Strike cigarettes come to Sterling Cooper looking for a new advertising campaign in the wake of a Reader's Digest report that smoking will lead to various health issues including lung cancer.[6] The show presents a culture where men who are engaged or married freely partake of sexual relationships with other women. The series also observes advertising as a corporate outlet for creativity for mainstream, middle-class, young, white men. The main character, Don Draper, observes at one point about Sterling-Cooper, "This place has more failed artists and intellectuals than the Third Reich."[7] Along with each of these examples, however, there are hints of the future and the radical changes of the later 1960s; Betty's anxiety, the Beats Draper discovers through Midge, even talk about how smoking is bad for health (usually dismissed or ignored). Characters also see stirrings of change in the ad industry itself, with the Volkswagen Beetle's "Think Small" ad campaign mentioned and dismissed by many at Sterling Cooper.
