I got Nevermind, Doolittle, and Boston :rock and I was just up at Blockbuster where I got a copy of the first game to download on my HD (renting a game from them costs NINE FUCKING DOLLARS). I wish there was a way to delete these stupid cover songs though.

Willco - Basically it's a controller used in tandem with DJing software for the PC, to give it more of a hands-on feel and better control, instead of relying on the mouse.

I had no intention of getting SD Gundam Force, it was a joke gift from a friend. I'd been holding off on the SRT OG games in the hopes that they'd see a North American release, but I don't think that's happening, so I picked them up for $20 each.

I think I'm totally caught up now on old titles. I've got two terrible robot game new releases on the way in March, though.

How is the TV version of This American Life?

I've only seen a bit of the first season (there are only 6 eps), but what I saw was a pretty accurate transcription of the radio show. I hear season 2 is a bit different.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Pearl White

She's been in need of her own computer for a little while, so this will make for a nice gift. I'm gonna try and hold out until the summer for a new netbook of my own.

:( Hope everything is okay.

It's nothing life threatening or anything, but thanks for the concern. Em has always had jaw problems, and it's time for some good ol' TMJ surgery. She woke up the other morning and could barely open her mouth without falling over in pain. Insurance will pick up most of it, but we still have a pay a bit.

And, I've come to the realization that I buy way more stuff than I will ever play/watch, so I'm doing my part for 2G2D.

BUT! To commemorate the slow down of my spending for a few months, I'll leave you with this:

Title: Re: How did you feebly attempt to stimulate the economy this week?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on January 31, 2009, 07:26:30 PM: I ain't selling shit! But yes, the jaw part is very important. She's an eager little beaver when it comes to that. No gag reflex, swallows, etc.

We don't need money or anything, I just had a realization that I'm buying stuff, sticking it on a shelf and not doing anything with it. I'm still going to buy games and movies and music, but not at the rate I was in the past. We're also buying a car soon, so putting down $10k at once and then adding another monthly payment doesn't help.

Title: Re: How did you feebly attempt to stimulate the economy this week?
Post by: TVC15 on January 31, 2009, 07:29:38 PM: Let me know how the surgery goes. There's a strong possibility that I will be getting jaw surgery. My jaw never healed correctly after my car crash and sometimes it "locks" in place. And because of it, I have a very inconsistent bite that changes a lot and freaks out my dentists.
Title: Re: How did you feebly attempt to stimulate the economy this week?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on January 31, 2009, 07:31:39 PM: Will do. She grinds her teeth hard at night and her jaw pops constantly while she sleeps. She's had a bite guard for years now, but it's starting to break apart from her grinding.

I also spent $800 on random shit in December. I felt really bad about it.
Title: Re: How did you feebly attempt to stimulate the economy this week?
Post by: Positive Touch on January 31, 2009, 09:23:14 PM: what sort of surgery will they have to do for teeth grinding + jaw popping? A friend of mine had jaw realignment surgery and it took YEARS to fully heal. I hope hope hope your wife does not have to go through that.

In more positive (lol) news, I finally bought a 360 today and have now officially joined the next generation. Looking back I can't believe I waited this fucking long to get one. Owning a PS3 & Wii is like starving - there's just so few good games (or games that aren't gimped in the case of the ps3), and as much as I love games it's been hard having to sit there and watch so many awesome releases pass me by. NEVER AGAIN. I got the arcade with some $30 off deal I saw at CAG, and I'll pick up a hard drive in a little while.
