Nah, we just bought it because we don't have summer jobs anymore and we wanted to do something Diablo-like and co-op to waste time.

Too Human is actually pretty fun, I like the skill tree and the gear and shit. It's graphically kinda underwhelming, but it's still pretty fun. Can't imagine playing it non-co-op though. Would be boring for reals. But yeah, Too Human co-op = fun! Fuck the haters!

I allow myself $20 a paycheck to spend on gaming related activities.

It always seems that when I save money for something, something else pops up to take it away like car repairs or other unseen emergency costs.

No money, no problems.  :D

Yeah. I've known this guy since high school, and he's one of my closest friends. He helped me out during times when no one else would. So I felt this was the least I could do.

A $700 computer for my roommate's birthday.

I should go back to being a hermit. Having friends is expensive.  :'(

You bought your roommate a 700 dollar comp?  :o

Yeah. I've known this guy since high school, and he's one of my closest friends. He helped me out during times when no one else would. So I felt this was the least I could do.

For a while I actually thought I was being too cheap, but guess not. :lol

Where's my $700 computer?

I bought a 320 GB USB hard drive. Was going to buy a flash drive, but this seemed like a better deal, all things considered. More usefullness.

I saw your name as the last post in this tread.  I was expecting that you had commented on my getting "The art of computer programing".  I'm saddened that you didn't.    :'(

It's from the Crossbone Gundam manga (no official English translation/release), which is a continuation of the Gundam F-91 movie.

Has this been fan-translated at all?

I have no idea. I really don't read manga.

I guess part of it has been translated.

Bought it for $154. I thought it would work in the new place (piggy-backing my neighbor's connection) but it didn't; 220V (need a transformer), must be plugged to the wall directly (can't), so owned!

What the fuck I'm supposed to do with this piece of shit now?

:( So it won't send signals through the powerline correctly if you have a transformer in the middle?  Sadly I already wasted my money on an Xbox wireless adaptor otherwise I'd buy it off you.  Perhaps in exchange for sexual favours.

Can supply sexual favours regardless.

Have you seen the Long Way Around and Long Way Down trips? I love them, so good.

Yes, him and Ewan (they're best friends) it's really good. Especially the first one (Long Way Around). The parts in Kazakhstan and Mongolia are amazing, so remote but beautiful. The preparation is also really fun to watch as they venture into something they've never done but are very enthusiastic for. It felt very pure, raw and personal. I enjoyed it immensely, very highly recommend it.

I highly recommend Long Way Around (and Down), and this is independent of my mancrush on Ewan McGregor.

True story, I've had my only traffic accident within at least 100ft of where Ewan had his outside of Calgary, Canada.

I watched both after the Top Gear Vietnam special because I wanted more of that, and while nothing is as good as Top Gear, both were great.  Long Way Down isn't as good because it's just hard to emulate a great thing twice, but it's still entertaining.  I remember watching one of the promos, and Ewen was like "this series is about me and Charlie going on one great adventure...AGAIN!"

Should be HD, but I'm not sure since I'm in Hawaii for the next week.

Speaking of Hawaii, I hit up the Book Off at Ala Moana today. OMG.

(http://image1.play-asia.com/170/5g/pa.98445.2.jpg)

I've been looking for Rezel Cross for a while now, and they had a used copy!

I've still got the two Toys N Joys shops and the Book Off at Pearlridge to hit up on this trip.

Oh yeah, Hawaii is gorgeous, too. Here's the view from our balcony.

We're at the Aqua Bamboo and Spa on Kuhio Ave. My wife just finished her MBA on Monday night, so we're celebrating her newfound freedom more than my birthday. We swam in the ocean for an hour tonight, it was fantastic. All my memories of body surfing here as a kid came back.

Japan has thrown up on Waikiki more than it did last time I was here (Mos Burger RIP, though). I had squid yakisoba for lunch and we ate at an awesome okonimyaki place for dinner tonight. We're headed up to North Shore tomorrow, it will be nice to get away from all the crowds.

Hmm, we stayed at the Waikiki Mariott, I believe.  Same exact view!   :lol

I wasn't looking for Japanese *anything* when I was there.  I wanted as much American crap as I could get.  We found it funny that there were tons of convenience stores (ABC Mart DOMINATES HAWAII, lol) stocked with Japanese tea though.  My in-laws were happy.  I also was surprised to find that Taco Bell (it's nasty, but I hadn't eaten it in over three years!) had a Japanese menu-- they aren't in Japan.
