Title: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 07:18:54 PM
I got paid for my freelance gig and for cleaning up scripts, and promptly went to stimulate the economy:

New phone!

New game!

New 1TB external hard drive!

New beer!

... I paid off my driving classes, the rest of my car payment (buying a Camry off my folks) and stowing the rest for bills, Christmas and expensive car insurance that I'll have to pay in the Spring.

Eris is a good phone, but Sprint sucks. I've had all the mobile carriers, and T-Mo has the best plans and the best customer service. They've given me a ton of credits, bend over backwards on my billing, etc.

I'll never leave them.

Sprint customer service was great for me the one time I had to call them. Sprint and Tmo are basically the same price except your unlimited web on TMo gets you 2G 98% of the time.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:15:15 PM
I pay $59.99 for 500 anytime minutes, mobile-to-mobile, nights and weekends, unlimited text and unlimited 3G web (which I have not had any issues in either DC or LA metro areas and get 3G ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME). Sprint doesn't even touch that.

T-Mobile also consistently beats out Sprint in J.D. Power rankings across the board, usually only beat by Verizon - which I concede is a far better service, but has personally screwed me out of $200, so will never get my business ever again.

I can also get unlimited everything for $79.99.

Keep practicing. (twirls nunchucks like Michelangelo)

Also you only get that 79.99 rate if you buy your phone at full retail. Otherwise it's 99.99 just like sprint.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:26:30 PM
So $10 more and you get unlimited calling to all mobile phones, unlimited text and web with 3G coverage in more than 6 cities. Not even close. Nights and weekends start at 7.

Uh, Sprint's $89 plan doesn't get you unlimited minutes. T-Mobile does. Their unlimited everything plan is $99. That's a $20 difference. Versus T-Mobile, which has 3G in 113 cities and in every metropolitan area I've visited the past six months. I've had no problems in San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, D.C., etc.

I guess if I lived in the middle of nowhere, I'd pay more for more expansive 3G coverage. But you're reaching.

Sprint has a more robust network, there is no doubt - but I have no need for it. And it costs more. And T-Mobile has incredible customer care.

Quote
Who the hell calls customer service anyway? I'm pretty sure Tmo got a better score than Verizon this year actually.

Your argument is "Who needs customer care?"

Are you kidding. Between billing, technical issues, etc. - having great customer care matters. I actually just extended my contract today on the basis of T-Mo's customer care. They've been great, either when setting up stuff, dealing with technical issues, billing, etc.

I will stick with the person that accommodates me, thank you very much.

... At worst, it's equivalent? You are joking. :lol

At worst, it's equivalent to AT&T.

Networking. When you sleep on enough couches, hang out with enough people, pass around enough of your own work... people get into a position to help you out and recommend you to other folks.

I'm in line to get a real credited gig if a project sells too, simply because the producers have been friends of mine for years and I nailed an interview with the third exec producer - he loved my work.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: AdmiralViscen on November 16, 2009, 09:30:05 PM
Oops I wiped my message while editing.

Sprint's $69.99 plan gives you unlimited calling to any mobile, anytime, with 450 minutes to use for land lines between 7am and 7pm on weekdays. That's not close enough? T-Mobile's unlimited plan WITH A SUBSIDIZED PHONE, apples to apples, is $99/month just like Sprint.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:30:55 PM
Also you only get that 79.99 rate if you buy your phone at full retail. Otherwise it's 99.99 just like sprint.

Even More Plus lets you break the phone into interest free payments and there is no contract. Again, I win. :P

Which adds another $20 a month to your bill for 20 months.

If you got a good deal on an unlocked phone I could see going the no-contract route, but it doesn't save all that much money to buy a phone at full retail in installments from TMo
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:32:26 PM
If you buy a $400 phone.

p.s. I got a discounted phone from switching over, because of customer loyalty. :P
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: AdmiralViscen on November 16, 2009, 09:34:06 PM
I get a fully subsidized phone once every year through Sprint for a single plan over $70 or a family over $130 :o
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:34:27 PM
Yeah, I didn't pay close to full price or even half price. I'm also under Even More Plus. Why? Because T-Mobile loves their customers. And again, that's worth my service.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:35:56 PM
So, to recap, I pay $59.99 for all that jazz, awesome phone that I paid a fraction for because of customer loyalty, no contract pricing (I'm still in my old contract, though) because of customer loyalty, awesome customer service.

Yeah, pretty awesome.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: AdmiralViscen on November 16, 2009, 09:36:18 PM
Not saying it can't work for anyone, just surprised that you loathe one B-string service and love another. It's Verizon and then everyone else. AT&T is the worst because you pay Verizon prices for TMo or worse service.


So to recap you never even heard of Any Mobile Anytime and you thought Sprint's unlimited data plan was $89.99.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:38:18 PM
I don't really care about Any Mobile Anytime, because that's assuming all I call is mobile numbers, which is silly. I probably get ringed by land lines more than mobiles. Mobiles call my office phone.

Not to mention, I've had issues with Sprint customer service. Like I said, service is king.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:40:37 PM
Also, not to mention, most of my contacts are now T-Mo. We had a director, a producer that had issues with Sprint and an actor that had issues with AT&T that all switch to T-Mo over the past four months.

That's cool. I just thought it was funny that you were so anti-Sprint 6 months before T-Mobile offered pricing plans that were competitive with Sprint. I had you pegged as a Verizon customer for those high standards.
Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 16, 2009, 09:44:21 PM
No, Verizon sucks too. They've got a great network, but again, took me for a $200 ride. I've dealt with Sprint and AT&T, and wasn't really satisfied with either. Like I said, Sprint can't touch T-Mo when it comes to pricing and customer service.

If all you care about is costs, there is always Boost Mobile!

(also Sprint)

Title: Re: Today, I got paid! I bought shit! (WHAT DID YOU BUY
Post by: AdmiralViscen on November 16, 2009, 09:47:29 PM
TMo costs $10 more if you compare apples to apples and get a subsidized handset :lol

(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/10/t-mobile-even-more-even-more-plus-2.jpg)

Wait no it's $30 more if you want the data. I was looking at 500 minutes + text/web

TMo chooses to start with unlimited voice at the bottom and work up to unlimited data, whereas Sprint starts with unlimited data/text at the bottom and moves on up to unlimited voice. They both peak with unlimited everything at $99.

(http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/sprint-unlimited-plans.png)

All these plans include unlimited mobile to mobile with any carrier.


Like I said, 6 of one half a dozen of the other. 3G coverage vs customer service. Yearly fully subsidized upgrades vs whatever special deal you got. It's a wash.

For me it is a second phone, so I did not want the added bulk of the Droid. The Droid is fucking HUGE man, and heavy.

I also really prefer the SenseUI to stock Android and my other phone already has free nav so I don't care about that. I'm hoping HTC comes through with their Android 2.0 OTA update.

Although I guess I don't really care about that either, I've had a hard time spotting the differences between them. The Eris also lets you pinch to zoom.

Bought both for $20 each, including shipping.  My 360's DVD drive is still janky as fuck but if I just keep opening and closing the drive, eventually it reads the disc  :lol  Since the system is fine otherwise, I'm going to keep playing it.  Since the PS3 looks less and less appealing, if when the 360 breaks down, I'll just get an Arcade unit.  By that time, hopefully, it'll be $149-179.

Out of morbid curiosity I bought the Watchmen Ultimate Cut blu-ray off Amazon for $30.99.

I wasn't a big fan of the film in the theater.  Thought it was...ok.  Never watched the dir cut or black freighter.  Hoping that this version that's 53 mins longer than the theaterical cut will make me like the film like Kingdom of Heaven theatrical -> DC.  Might be completely wrong.  No idea what I'm getting into!

game is fuck awesome it just put off all the spaz handed cackmeisters who didn't get the game after 5 minutes and wrote it off (albeit not aided by the awful open area at the start of the game)


In other words.

"it doesn't get good until after the 30 hour mark"

hahaha. well, i won't lie to - my first reaction to the game was "WTF is this trash!?" but once you get in doors, and after a few frustrating deaths the "penny drops"

it's certainly not a Kirby Air Ride scenario :)

Anyways, PN03 is about 200 yen in Japan and worth every single yenny, i assume it's equally as cheap in the US.

PN03 was so awesome.  It was very much an arcade-style shooter despite its third-person action game appearance.  Loved how you could go back and replay special versions stages, and they'd change their room order every time, too.  Had a blast with the game.  I imported it for full price originally, bought an American copy for like $10 new back in 2004 or 2005, and bought a copy when I was in Japan DIRT CHEAP to play on my Wii.  Still have all three copies.  It's due for another play-through.

Has anyone ever tried playing it on a Game Cube PC emulator?

I don't know about that, they are comfortable as hell, customizable and it beats wearing full masks around a deadbox/safe zone filled with idiots prone to not switching on the safety on the markers.

Good luck whacking all those religious zealot terrans. Emperor, pfah!

I continue to be pleased with the purchase of those $50 $20 Sennheiser earbuds. They have good separation, and the bass is actually a little overwhelming. Unnaturally boomy for earbuds. And they block climate-control-fan noise better than the HD-555s.

I picked up PROTOTYPE against my own better judgement and played the first chapter. It's like the Sega HULK game except less sucky and there's some challenge, at least in the early game.

for the Cheap. 3 minutes after that, buyers' remorse took over and I returned ME and PR lol. I'll get them later, especially since I have a few games in my backlog that I need to go through first.

I wish MS PR was cheap in the US.  It's still $60 wtfffff.  There was a $15 Target clearance months back and I looked for it but missed it.  Really would like to play this game more (rented it) when it's <$20-30.  It has to happen someday!   ???

Bildi -

Reservoir Dogs is pretty weak on Blu-Ray. Looks a bit nicer but the extras are sad. Goodfellas has an awesome commentary track (well at least the HD-DVD did) that features the real-life Henry Hill and the FBI agent who pursued him. You have to hear it.

Goodfellas has a godawful transfer. It's basically a DVD.

Also, Howl's Moving Castle is really good, liked it much better than the film. The plot is a bit of a mind-bender for a kid's book.

Cajole - yeah, but the initial DVD transfer was beyond a joke. Double-sided (meaning  you flip halfway through), bordered on all 4 sides, hideos picture quality...I've triple-dipped on this film :'(

I love movie of Howl's so it's good to hear the books are even better.

You've melded my post with Essam's in your mind - he bought the movies! I'm thinking of getting Goodfellas however (on DVD) so will look out for the bitchin' commentary.

Be warned that the book is utterly different to the movie. I mean...it's about as similar as Ponyo is to The Little Mermaid.

Haven't set it up yet, though - been busy and I don't watch much TV.  Picture looked great in the store, however, and I got a good deal (though these things are always dropping in price).  $1899 on Saturday, and today at the same Best Buy it was already back up to $2220 (I think it's like $2800 MSRP).  I'm gonna use my 40" for the bedroom.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9b/Hear_the_wind_sing.JPG/150px-Hear_the_wind_sing.JPG)

They don't publish this in the States, so I was always going to import it... but I never did. Found it in a random book store last night, was excited. Impulse bought it. It's not supposed to be that good since it's Murakami's first book, but as a ridiculously huge Murakami fan I'm sure I'll enjoy it anyway. It's super short too-- I could probably finish it in an hour or two.

Oh, it's not really a designated weapon, more like a high quality all around knife. We're moving into the forest next year, so this will be a better gift than it might appear to be. I would probably get the serrated one, but I'm getting fed up with having damned near no plain blade knives around.

There's no shame in that, bro. Only one was $80. Most are $10-$40. :lol

Yep. A local video rental store was going out of business, and it was their final day. Everything was like 95% off. I stumbled upon a copy of Terminator Salvation for the PS3 for $2.00 among of bunch of Gamecube games. It was the only PS3 game that hadn't been sold previously... I figured I could get the super ridiculously easy Platinum trophy in like 4 hours and then sell it on Half for like $15.

Got a 2009 Corolla.  Kinda generic, but with any luck, it will cool my car-related rage and frustration for at least a few years.  That, price and gas mileage were really my only deciding factors.

I bought a 2009 Corolla XLE last February. Don't listen to old man Prole, it's a great car.

It takes wading through a lot of bullshit before Lost gets good.  I pretty much hated all of the first season and it really didn't click with me until somewhere around the end of season 2.

It's also in HD on 360 netflix :lol 

I was hooked to the first few episodes of the first season, then a bunch of distinguished mentally-challenged stuff happens that hardly gets acknowledged and the show wants you to excuse it and go on caring. From what I've read, it seems like they've saved explanations for when the ratings need it. No thanks.

Did my trip to the Japanese bookstore that I do every 4-6 months.  The prices are so jacked up.  $36 for a 2400yen artbook.  But if you're not buying in bulk it's still cheaper than buying from Japan and paying $30+ shipping.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/200911161833171a7.jpg)

Yotsubato :rock  it feels like it's been years since I read the last volume.  Maybe it has! 

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/4797351519.jpg)

Finally came out.  I thought it would never because their previous game Soul Cradle never got a materials collection.  Seems like after Disgaea 2 Dengeki publishing dropped them.  Dengeki used to do these hard cover huge books for each of their srpgs with every single thing from the game in them (art, endings, pixel art).  So now N1 is on Softbank Creative and it's the same thing but soft cover.  I dig these book since I only put in like 30 hours on their srpgs to finish the main story and these books let me see everything else in the game that I missed.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/51PmXqh11rL.jpg)

Toi8's first artbook.  I really enjoy his waterpainted style.  The backgrounds are usually very neat and his characters have personality.  I first found out about him cause N1 used him for Soul Cradle instead of their usual artist (he had done promotional art for previous N1 games as a guest), since then he's done a lot of promo art for tons of things and then main stuff that I've never heard of.  Anyhow it's got some nice art :)

Took the holiday cash I got from the parents and went to the mall tonight to pick up some older games I'd been wanting.  Gamestop.com said the store had all of them in stock, and the prices seemed decent. 

So I get to the store and it's overcrowded.  The one copy they have of Okami is $17.99 used.  Fuck that, Amazon has it new for $14.99 and I don't have to pay for shipping.  Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold Edition used is $29.99.  I can get it used off an Amazon seller for $12.  They have the regular version for $10, but none of them have complete cases/manuals.  Scratch that one off the list, Amazon it is.  Next up is Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.  $54.99 for a used copy?   :lol  All of these prices are higher than the website.  I check this one on Amazon and find they are having a sale and the game is marked down to $42 NEW.  Last up is Dead Space.  It's $19.99 new, which is fine, but I take one look at the line, and walk out and drive to Best Buy right down the street and pick it up there instead.  Then I ordered the rest of the games from Amazon.

Did a little Christmas shopping today, spent way too much money but hey, it's okay. Bought some stuff for my mom, finishing up tomorrow with everyone else's gifts. Also bought badminton gear so we could play in Yoyogi Park today.

I trudged through this dutifully 15 years ago and it instilled absolutely no curiosity about the game whatsoever. Seriously, I have never watched even half of a baseball game that I wasn't physically present at.

Live games are fun, yeah, but nothing about the quality of the play inspired me I'm afraid. Cheap beers and lots of spectator enthusiasm are what make it fun.

What can I say, one of my good friends over there is a huge beer aficionado.

Well, hook me up in PM or email, because I've got no idea where to go for decent beer here. Out of the local stuff, I can only drink Yebisu or Premium Lager, and those aren't nearly as good as what I generally like, which is Fat Tire or anything in the IPA variety. I'm dyin'. When we hit CostCo I'll bag a crate of Cooper's Ale (Australian) and occasionally I'll spring 2000 yen or so on a bottle of stuff from Stone at a bar I like, near where we had dinner. Other than that, I'm floored by the lack of variety here in Osaka.

Cormacaroni's always good the good stuff rolling in. What's up with that? Tokyo has all the import stuff and Osaka is whiffing.

Business opportunity! Seriously, this stuff is all over the place in Tokyo now. You can get Hoegaarden in almost any supermarket now, for example. Only a matter of time before you Kansai lepers wise up.

I was all set to buy a ¥3000 Lego "New Year Lucky Bag" (fukubukuro) at a local mall, which looked like it had maybe ¥6000 worth of kits in it, including a couple Lego Star Wars. When I got to the register they said it was ¥5000 instead of the ¥3000 marked in 20cm letters all over the table from which it was taken. Bastards.

Instead I bought some Chimay (white and blue) and Fuller ESB and Pale Ale. Yum.


That's a lovely cover on the Moorcock book; does it have an illustration credit?
