my wife's been playing warhammer online a ton and I keep telling her how much cooler her character would be if it was an eldar farseer instead of a high elf archmage.

HELL YES!  :gun  I had the opportunity to play a chaos daemon army yesterday but I had to pick up my wife from the train station before it began.  She just doesn't understand the importance of what I do.  I'm like the only thing standing in the way between her and the eye of terror.  Women...   >:(

Persona 4 guide

Dont get me started with black friday, with all the deals that amazon put up I think a paycheck or two went to them. Then taking back the stuff that went on sale cause I rebought them at amazon for a hell of a lot cheaper. I don't know if I spent more or saved a bunch. But either way I've got 6 orders of amazon stuff coming, 2 bestbuy orders, 1 gamefly order, 1 double jump books order, 3 borders orders. This is just ONLINE!!!

I went to so many stores on friday it was insane.

So i'll stick with my single guide, now to wait for PoP tonight.

If youre gonna buy something on PS3 try Valkyria Chronicles. I'll never understand why the ACTUAL PS3 exclusives get the snub but omg lets defend the multiplatform releases!

the guitar hero world tour guitar is pretty awesome, too, although that touch pad is useless

i wish i'd had the foresight that all this stuff would go on crazy clearance after thanksgiving, i never would have bought GHWT

what language are iphone games coded in?
Title: Re: The "I essentially skipped Black Friday" Monday What Did You Buy Thread
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 01, 2008, 06:38:59 PM
Objective C (lol) + Cocoa Touch (interface wrapper)

I spent like a week banging my head against the SDK in the fall and decided to wait until the NDA was lifted and some good books were out. This is the first good book.

Apple's SDK documentation was embarassingly lol

it was pretty much "so you know how to write NeXTStep applications right? okay good, iPhone is just like that"

holy shit why didn't anyone tell me Target had a bumch of new PS3 games on sale for $44?  I picked up Mirror's Edge, and I can hopefully convince my gf to get Rock Band 2 + guitar (she wants drums, I don't) for me for Christmas.  They had some other new stuff on sale too for the same price, Little Big Planet maybe?  Worth checking out.

Picked up my mail from when we were gone last week, my copy of Freedom was among the numerous letters and packages. The packaging is incredible, Criterion should've used the black Blu-ray cases that Freedom uses instead of those cheap paper digipacks.

I'm planning one getting one sometime soon.  Last night I was tempted to buy the GHWT guitar bundle for the same price, then I realized I would never play Guitar Hero World Tour.

yeah, this is why I want a good book, I want to learn the bare minimum of Objective C necessary to code an app and no more. also, the whole Model-View-Controller model is semi-distinguished mentally-challenged on the "Model" front, and the "Views" are 100% created (both display /and/ code) through a separate what-you-see-might-be-what-you-get tool called Interface Builder so you better use Apple's official iPhone IDE or your app isn't going to have any "buttons."

objective-c is despicable and loathesome

it is the opa-ages of barely-oo extended languages

You could have sold the game and got a really nice toy guitar for 30-40 bucks.
