My Dad and I rebuilt a 1967 Chevelle Malibu SS back in high school. Good times.Goddamn. I bet that was an awesome experience.
:droolThanks! I'm not getting my hopes up too high. I had my heart set on a 78 Firebird last week, but then the day I was going to trek up to Huntsville to buy it, I call the guy and he says 'Oh I'm sorry. I sold it last night.' I was heartbroken.
Nice car man.
good price on it too.
Love that coat, but I hate those buckles on the sleeves.
Synthesizer Patel in: Kingdom Hearts 3yeah too many buttons and buckles for my liking. We need jon bones opinion on this.

get mega man maverick hunter x, frag.
i'd suck your dick.
I didn't like Wild Arms XF at all. Jeanne D'Arc was much more fun. XF had too much "You need this job for this particular battle" so you were constantly switching jobs around, de-equipping and re-equipping characters...boring. I want to spend my time playing the game, not futzing around with menus.
mega man x games are usually easy so yeah you won't have any trouble.get mega man maverick hunter x, frag.
i'd suck your dick.
is that an old person's game? I have zero action game skills, the only thing I can play fast at is RTS games.

I'll have my store do a district lookup.
The Fred Meyer has three copies of the GTA IV CE (360) on clearance for $59.97 each. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pick it up.
I'll pick it up for you on Monday, I'm home in Seattle and won't be going back down there until Monday for work.
Sure thing, those three copies of the CE have been there forever, I don't see them disappearing between now and then.

OK, Mr. Gundam just told me the store with the CE GTA4 copies got rid of them. Anybody else want to help me out with this situation?
EDIT: Wait a second, Amazon.com has the CE? Is that trustworthy? I've had some serious issues with Amazon in the past, so I'm kinda skeptical.

Amazon is awesome. Trust Amazon. Love Amazon.
Sorry it didn't work out, I was stunned when the gal I spoke with told me that they sent the CEs back to a warehouse. Going through Amazon will probably end up being cheaper for you (free shipping, no tax, etc.).

Every time I get something outta Amazon the product is in dismal shape and the shipping takes like 10 years. I dunno, whatever. Probably will go through them as they're the most viable option at this point.

Bodum double-walled glass coffee mug:
(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GWZGK1V8L._SS400_.jpg)
This thing is AWESOME. It's my 2nd. They're pretty expensive for a mug but buying a new one when my old one got broken was a no-brainer. The double-wall effectively makes this a vacuum. The coffee stays piping hot, but the mug itself is cool to the touch. But unlike a flask-type mug, there is no nasty aluminum taste.
Vibram Five Fingers KSO shoes

also, I went to target today and saw that they have Demon's Soul for $15 new in the clearance shelf. I don't know if that's every store, but I would totally buy that if I didn't already own it.

n00b. You have to break the strings in a bit before you can try any bends beyond about a whole step.
What gauge did you get?
Is that triple pack a euro only thing?Nope
uhhh that's exactly what I did. Read it again, I said I snapped it while stretching it, "break it in" in your words, didn't snap it by bending it.
I play on regular 10's.

Cause you bend them strings with hot FIYAH! :rock
I'm thinking about getting an Ibanez Xiphos. :rock
Death to all buttmetal!
tbh I stretched it a little too much. This happens 50% of the time when I'm stretching in the high E string. That's why I'm not too keen on stretching strings in majority of the time.
also on a sidenote, my guitar is extremely poorly set up, the strings feel way too tight. Most bends kill my fingers on the higher strings after playing for a little while. It's seriously holding back my progress.

Things I recently bought:
- 18 N64 games for $20. One of the games was Conker, which goes for $40 on eBay. I have 3 dupes here (Jet Force, Perfect Dark, Wipeout 64) if anyone wants some N64 games (pay shipping).
- Geist for $4 off a gaffer. My own reasons for buying this
- Daikatana N64, PSO Ep3 (sealed), MegaMan Network Transmission for $25 off CAG. Daikatana was from that talk about reviewers in the previous thread, and it just so happened to be there. PSO Ep3, I wanted to always try it since it was card based. Guy acted like it was worth more cause it was sealed. eBay disagrees. MegaMan was because I'm on a Battle Network kick.
- BlazBlue off GameFly for $11 (had a $5 coupon). Always wanted to get this since Guilty Gear is mmm.
Things I wish I bought:
- Too much to list
that would be an ace jacket without the nomura sleeve zippers.

Never was much on 5.11 stuff. Always seems to fall apart on me.

So uh,
The wife and I are planning on building a good high quality home theater. I thought I might be able to get some info/opinions in this thread.
Since we're not super rich, I'm not looking for real cinema quality equipment. But definitely stuff that would blow away someone who's not an audio/videophile.
I want a projector and a good audio system. No HTIB type shit.
Any ideas on where to start or any flat out suggestions?

Newegg's always been pretty good for me. That's where I got my stereo system, plus the user rating system is pretty spot on.

BUY YOUR PROJECTOR FROM http://projectorpeople.com
Take it from a guy on his fourth projector (not that they break down - I just keep upgrading ;) )
What kind of receiver are you looking at?
Newegg is good for speakers, and they usually have free shipping. These are great left/right speakers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290013&cm_re=polk-_-82-290-013-_-Product - again, not "audiophile" quality but definitely kick the pants off of HTIB. I would invest in left/rights most of all, and also get a good center for clear dialogue. "good enough" is fine for the sub/surrounds. I also think 7.1 is a fucking waste and would reinvest those two speakers' worth of cash in improving a 5.1 setup.
cool! thanks!
Another question I had that you might have the answer to. Since my projector is going to be mounted to the ceiling (I'd imagine? don't hurt me if this is wrong and/or completely dumb). Would the easiest thing to connect all my components be some sort of switch? or how does that work? really long wires??

Spring is nigh, so I bought a nylon zip-up hoodie from Nike ACG.
J-bore, even if you don't like Nike or plan on buying anything, you need to go to the new Nike store in Harajuku. It's a retail design marvel, definitely one of the coolest stores I've ever been to.
The psychological advantage will come when you beat their sorry asses. But yeah, I used to have "bike people" friends and they loved spending phenomenal amounts of money on toys.Toys :'(. To me it's amazing something powered by a man can go 50-60km\h on flats. I'm trying the median approach- enough to be competitive but not let's go crazy.

I actually bought things today! First time I spent money on things other than food in probably months. (Minus V-Day)Did you buy them with foodstamps?
First off, I did buy food. I went to the farmer's market and picked up some organic pomelos, tokyo radishes and a cinnamon walnut roll.
Then I got myself a spring/summer hat. I tried a bunch on, as I was looking for either western style or something a Honduran tobacco plantation owner might wear, and found this hemp hat that is somewhere in between.
Then I got CDs. Yes, people still buy those!
I got Motown #1 hits, a Turkish Sufi collection, and Yugoslavian village music collection.
Fuck. The secret bonus track on this Motown CD is Michael McDonald. Fuck you motown!:rofl

I've been thinking about getting a mini of some kind, mainly because my home theater setup that I'm planning (for when I move out) would require one. I just bought the newegg deal of the day yesterday, which was a thinclient PC barebones with gigabit wireless etc etc, which was dirt cheap, plus a HDD and RAM for it, which I'd have behind my TV, then stream movies to it and control it with a mini from the couch via RDP, all the while pulling the actual files from the upstairs file server. Mann, I can't wait. Especially since I have a 48-port gig switch to use as the main connection to pull files, so it'll be fast enough to stream with no problem.

It would work for that as long as you aren't concerned with 1080P content. The Mini can't handle that very well. It played a 1080P video I tried smoother than expected, but it would stutter every now and then. Doesn't bother me since I can always use my 360 or PS3 for that and 98% of all the stuff I watch is up to 720P anyway.
You might be interested in getting one of those mini media players that lets you attach USB devices to them. I got the Seagate and it pretty much does everything that you need. The Asus and WD have gotten many great reviews as well.

Etymotic ER6i, to replace my beloved Etymotic ER-4Ps.

Aside from games and maybe Gundam swag, Otaku stuff doesn't do much for me.
GURPS is always fun reading but i've never played a single game of itYeah, the books always feel very well-edited and concise, and it achieves a kind of Lego-like integration across all the world-books they produced. Except for maybe SUPERS, which seemed to show the shortcomings of a "realistic" system attempting to describe the performance of wildly powerful beings. Strangely this never seemed to be a trouble with its magic and psionics implementation. :-\

If it never leaves your living room, you're right: you can never have too much screen real estate. My 17" powerbook barely fit on the back-of-seat meal tray on the airplane, and god forbid if I was flying Economy and the joker in front of me decides to put the seat back. Movie time was OVER. A 13" would have been swell in that scenario.I picked up DJ Hero as well.Me, too! It'll arrive in a couple weeks. 120 bones was too much, but 50 is cheaper than a standard new xbox game.
Depends on the corner. I'm bad at explaining things, but at least in the older versions of the game, one technique was like: there is a right turn that is like a U. Before you get to the turn, you go a bit left to the outside, then turn to try and get close to the apex, and you should come out fine on the other side.
I don't know how it would work in real life but that is how it worked in the game. The physics are unique and the it takes getting used to. Point I was trying to make was that the camera is meant to give you a good view even if you are doing unusual moves like that, so if you drive it like a regular racing game, it tricks you into thinking it is looser than it actually is.

I've recently started enjoying her work, mainly from the look of the videos, but I'm feeling pretty confident she's not got the staying power of Madonna. I hope I'm wrong though, because the lifestyle image she's projecting and the visuals she's using are just outright nutshit crazy, and that's inspiring in and of itself.
I would love to hear impressions of LOTR Blu-Ray :-*

Should I keep it? $75 seems a bit much considering how quickly prices of Blu-rays drop these days. Like I said, I just picked it up because it was the only one left with that letter opener.

Got these Jap chips at a Jap supermarket. Tasty but expensive. Each cup is only about 1/4 the size of a small Frito Lay's bag yet costs $2.50.

1. They're not the Extended Editions
2. The special features are just reprinted DVDs from the original theatrical DVD releases.
So, no.
LOTR Blu-Ray sales are tanking hard. It was the #1 selling title last week when it first came out, this week it's down to #5 and Sherlock Holmes is #1 again. And I'm glad, WB deserves to get burned for pulling this crap.
I decided.

Nice, I think you made the right choice. In the long term, the stick will have more value than the extra crap that comes with the Starcraft CE.
Awesome haul, man! I still need to get a NES copy of Bubble Bobble for the wife.
Picked up a bunch of the Playstation Store:
After Burner Climax
Rock Band DLC
Australia -- The Shins
Fell in Love with a Girl -- White Stripes
Seven Nation Army -- White Stripes
Decent Days and Nights -- Futureheads
Hounds of Love -- Futureheads
Lego Rock Band export key (never got around to this until now)

There was a bootdisc called the Freeloader that you could use to play imports. I had one so I could play that fighting game where you can fight Solid Snake against Optimus Prime. Kinda sucked, actually. :lol

Did you buy those from the GAFfer? I was so considering buying those myself, but Japanese games have zero resale value so I didnt bother.

First car I've ever bought 8)
Yeah, I really have to get rid of a bunch of old stuff. I got Nvidia 280, 295, and ATI 5870 if you're interested. A couple of 300 GB 10,000 RPM WD drives too.Not interested in the hdd's (just got one last week 8)), but I would be interested in those cards. Right now I'm running a 9800gt, which runs everything solid, but I wouldn't mind extra gloss and performance

All 3 would be significantly faster than your current setup. You can keep the 9800 GT for PhysX. I've got one just for that purpose. In physX games, you can easily see a boost of 50% with a dedicated physX card.
Smooth, what were you doing with the raptors? did you have them striped?
I am definitely interested. I would have to look up the sizes, because I have a feeling that I may have space constraints.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/Metal_Gear_Solid_Peace_Walker.jpg)It's really a full MGS game? I know you've barely played. But I was very disappointed with Portable Ops.
Really shouldn't start this yet since I'm in the middle of finals. But I think I'll play just a tiny bit to see what it's like and then hold off on the real deal for another 12 days or so. Gives me time to order a USB wireless adapter so I can play coop with xlink kai anyhow.
*edit: did the intro. Yeah I can't play this game now. It's too good. Would marathon through it in a day or two and bomb my first 2 finals >_<
Not having the money shouldn't be the big argument there, man. If you got that for fifty, save a little longer and you can get a Hi-Point C9 like Mups and I have. Took it to the range again a few days back, and really liked it.
From what I can tell, yes. It's a full MGS game like MGS1-4 and not a spinoff-ish quality MGS like Portable Ops. Don't forget that Kojima neither wrote, nor directed, Portable Ops. It was basically by another team like the Ac!d games. Peace Walker is by the main MGS team.:hyper
There's TONS of constant story/cutscenes/codecs & lots of gameplay.

Budget isn't really bad. Plus, there's at least two people on the forum vouching for this gun, and I know a few more irl that would vouch it.
That being said, I've got this beauty on order at the local shop. They're actually out of production, I'm getting one of the last run... Mmmmm.

Oh shit, that's right. A cums before B too. Billy is yesterday's news
I think the first three years are all good, and largely safe. After that, I fell away from the series as they started taking themselves more seriously. I don't know if that would work for you or not, but it wasn't so good for me.Xena S1 was crazy, crazy stuff.

$525 to get a new fuel pump in my car. :-XNo fucking way dude. What kind of car?

Bebpo, have you ever tried in-ear phones?
While full-size headphones offer better sound for the buck and probably have a higher ceiling of fidelity, they also require solid amplification to reach their full potentials. Also, size is obviously a constraint to using them outside the house.
I find in-ear phones to be much more suitable for my general needs. They are easily driven by most devices and the high quality ones not only seal off outside noise efficiently but also deliver very good sound. If you ever decide to try them out, check out Westone. My new Westones simply kicks the butt of even the best Shure product which I used to own.
Chemex or old fashioned drip for me. No fancy shit.
It's the newest model, we had the previous one which looked like this:

Bionic Commando was ten bucks brand-new and people here say the single-player is actually good. I only played the very chaotic multiplayer demo, so I'm going to take you bros' word for it.
Dragon Age Awakenings was the asian version which doesn't play on US consoles so it was discounted fairly heavily. Sometimes owning a Japanese 360 has its advantages, I guess!

There's a bunch of shops in Akihabara that sell US games, though fairly overpriced. Messe Sanno, Asobit City and Hollywood Games are the ones I tend to go to. Hollywood Games tends to get the games earlier, but they're ALWAYS 1,000 yen more than at other places.

Play-Asia. Often I would find I could order a new game and pay for UPS shipping (arrives in two days or less) and still get it cheaper than the shops in Akihabara.
Quotend still get it cheaper than the shops in Akihabara.
this has all changed - Asobit and Medialand are now faster and, most of the time - ALL the time if you include fast shipping, cheaper than Play Asia.
Alan Wake was in Aki before it was available for order on Play Asia and at 5200 yen. I used to get a ton of stuff from PA, now there really isn't any point.
Media Land have some crazy prices - with some new games coming in at 4800 yen. I think my new tactic is going to be just to go bulk shopping when i go to HK, the prices in Wanchai were insanely cheap.
Games Hollywood prices take the piss - all X360/PS3 games pretty much come in at 7980-8980 yen (X360 asian versions more reasonable but still more expensive than Messe which is about 10 meters down the road)

Even the other franchises I like I don't have collections like that or anything. MGS is the one series I'm crazy about (although I stopped liking 4 after the initial omgomgomgomg phase ended >_<)

Not sure, my copy is on it's way from Korea ($30 on ebay). I think it's just as messed up, but I hear that a patch is in the works, don't know if it's been released yet.
I don't really care about the lack of gore, I just want to try the game, and I have a feeling the PS3/360 port is stuck in Asia.
Why is Metroid Prime Trilogy so hard to find new now? Can anybody help me look for this shit? I've checked Best Buy, Amazon, Gamestop, Buy.com, Wal Mart, wtf where did this game go? Nearest GS with a new copy is like 60 miles away.had a very limited print run. already goes for insane prices on ebay... sorry, i don't have any real help to offer :'(
You should have got the other copies. Prime Trilogy is OOP, could spike in value
You have money to waste on shitty movies

Took cormacaroni's advice and bought a cheap desktop to replace my broken down one. I messed around with Ubuntu and like it, but my wife was not fond of it and it was going to crap out at any minute because the heat sink had become detached like a zombie's eyeball.
I got the lowest-end SX series (http://jp.gateway.com/products/series/sxseries.html) machine, seems to be booming along on its own, quiet and tiny. Not sure if the Athlon processor or lack of graphics card is going to be an issue, but it's for the wife to work and keep her out of the living room when I'm on the 360, so... YAY! 49800 yen, 3 year warranty, balls-out faster than her netbook.
...I might install Steam on it, but that might only make the pain of no-graphics-adapter more prevalent. :(
iPad is my most beloved possession, dude. Not sure how you will use it, so can't guarantee you will love it similarly; I'll just say that it hasn't left my sight since it launched here. :heart

Plenty of manga readers out there, many of them free too. It's pretty easy getting files on them with iTunes, but Dropbox is very handy for getting them on there. DL via the Dropbox app, and then open them up in your app of choice. Stanza is pretty handy as it also does pdfs and other ebook filetypes. Comic Zeal is the slickest comics app so far but not free.Whoa. So DropBox creates a webspace/server from which other apps which don't support direct downloading can use?
iBooks is out for Asia as of right now, so i've been buying all books from Kindle (and stealing the stuff i already have on paper, mostly, where i can get a decent copy of it). Kindle also works on iPhone of course so it's really handy for reading a chapter or two on a short train ride etc. I can burn through books at a crazy rate now.
For RSS stuff, News Rack is really great.
For video stuff, Air Video is quite possibly all you need.
For news, check out the npr app, NYT, WSJ, BBC News - all excellent. And of course anything you can browse in Safari, like Google News, is all there.
If you need more than Dropbox for file transfer/sharing, Air Sharing HD is pretty useful. It has ftp and network drive access, so you can get at all your files at home (or uhh, anyone else's, if they happen to be running a FTP...). Pricey though.
That should get you started!
Also, my copy of the amazing Wednesday Comics hardcover showed uo. It's fucking huge! A coffee table book you could actually use as a coffee table! Daughter shown for scale (also cause she wanted to be in the picture)Adorable daughter is adorable.

'Ouran High School Host Club' may scare off potential buyers with its excessively pink packaging and girly synopsis, but damn if there isn't a great series here waiting to be explored. The characters are hilarious, the story works, and the mood is always fairly enjoyable. This show is a few bad episodes removed from a perfect score, it is seriously that good. The Blu-ray release from FUNimation is also pretty damn good, with their best upconvert to date

good movie.
I think the first movie is actually works besides the high contrast between old/new footage.
The 2nd movie is ^^; sooooo bad.
The 3rd movie is not much a movie and more just HEY REWATCH YOUR FAVORITE ZETA ENDING FIGHTS IN GLORIOUS NEW ANIMATION, which is a-ok with me.

Today I learned that HDMI, the DRM-enabled, entertainment-industry-preferred format which is so ubiquitous that there should be a very competitive marketplace for them... IS FREAKING 4000 yen for a 2m cable. In fairness, there was a 1750 yen HDMI cable, but it was literally 0.5m and I wasn't up for dangling my 360 off the back of my TV.
Since I have a new xbox, I went out to get an HDMI cable to replace my proprietary VGA cable.
I learned a new phrase in Japanese: 客さんをアナルレイプ
That VGA cable was 4500 yen, which was pretty damned expensive and I cursed MS for their wily use of proprietary connections on the machine. Just like Nintendo and Sony have on their consoles.

Crap. Crap, crap, crap. Amazonベーシック shows a range of cables under 1000 yen. One is under 700 yen. I didn't even think to check Amazon.

Amazon Japan doesn't have their Essentials line of cheap HDMI cables like they do here in the US?
I got a 6" HDMI cable for the rip-off price of only 3700 yen way back in 2006 at a Yamada Denki.Yeah, part of the reason I didn't get super surprised to see this in Japan was the prices were similar in the USA. I saw 30USD for a regular HDMI cable, and even saw 120USD for a deluxe thingy. WTF? It's a CABLE.
HDMI cable prices are just as much of a rip-off in the States, too, BTW. Same $40-$80 garbage going on. Online you can find cables for $3-$10.
I need to find a good knife to carry with me. I've been carrying a Case for the longest time, but it was passed down from my dad, and I don't want to lose it. Before now, I've always been a Gerber guy because they were cheap enough to carry, use, and break/lose without worry. But I'm liking the look of that Kershaw Lahar.

Be aware that pushing just about ANY button on that thing from within 30' of the PS3 itself will turn the PS3 on. Not just the power button, but the select button, direction keys... anything.

Buck Redpoint. Got it for many reasons. Needed something that was useful for working EMS, needed something with a pocket clip, didn't want to carry something that had a past tied to it, needed something safe in case the kiddo picked it up (have to unlock before closing or opening), and it has a bottle opener!

See this is why you buy a knife Drew. You don't buy them incase the occasion arises where you need to murder your drug dealer.
this is kind of crazy, but yesterday my local branch had volumes 3-9 of the Ultimate Spider-man hardcover books in their "free giveaway" section so i got those
The fixed the heavy red-tinted and way too light coloring from the Platinum DVD. The colors are darker and closer to the original CAPS coloring (which is what the original VHS used as well). It looks fucking unbelievable in HD.wait wait wait, you lost me. seamless branching from the special edition? how did the modify the backgrounds? I didn't keep up with it much. And is there a way to access the original on the disc?

One problem. It's not the original theatrical edition. That version is on the disc, but since they use seamless branching with the SE, the modified backgrounds remain in the "theatrical" edition.
hahahaGo buy another knife!

One problem. It's not the original theatrical edition. That version is on the disc, but since they use seamless branching with the SE, the modified backgrounds remain in the "theatrical" edition.
After that is the Special Extended Edition, created for the 2002 IMAX release. The Special Edition sports some reworked background animation and the addition of a musical sequence, "Human Again", originally written for the movie but not used until the 1994 stage musical. I'm among the few Disney fans who embrace the song's addition as a meaningful glimpse into the castle characters' collective anxiety, but it isn't without its problems. During that scene, the characters clean up the dilapidating castle and restore it to glittering brilliance. That meant all of the background animation from that point on had to be reworked for the Special Edition to reflect the manor's new polish.
When the Platinum Edition DVD came around, Disney used seamless branching to switch from the theatrical cut to the new "Human Again" sequence. Immediately following that is a scene with Belle and Beast in the West Wing where the altered backgrounds are on display. With the next chapter, though, the DVD branched back to the theatrical cut and the original backgrounds, resulting in a continuity gaffe that few are likely to notice. Despite a lot more breathing room, the Blu-ray uses exactly the same maneuver.
Go buy another knife!

It'll probably be one of those things I didn't notice before so I didn't care but now I probably will. Fuuuuuuuuu. Oh well.

Bravias are awesome tvs. Get it if you like it. I suggest going to see it in a store though.
60hz isn't too hot for games.for the price, size and quality of a bravia that's a non issue. Most people don't seem to care IMO.
60hz isn't too hot for games.Potentially outing myself as A Big Stupid here, but 60Hz mean the screen is refreshed 60 times in a second, so you're looking at straight 60fps display right there. Sure, I've played on 120Hz displays on PC and I can see the difference clearly, easily... those games are built to display at whatever my rig could handle. If it was able to handle 60+ fps, it would show it, life was good.Bravias are awesome tvs. Get it if you like it. I suggest going to see it in a store though.
This too.
Depends on the set. some of them do that motion plus shit (which I personally hate) that makes it seem like it's at a fast fps to some people. It just looks fucking weird to me.60hz isn't too hot for games.Potentially outing myself as A Big Stupid here, but 60Hz mean the screen is refreshed 60 times in a second, so you're looking at straight 60fps display right there.

But if a game is locked to 60fps on 360 or PS3, there is -no- advantage to owning a 120Hz display, is there?
My Bravia has a 240hz "Motionflow" option. I turned it off when I turned it on the first time.
My Bravia has a 240hz "Motionflow" option. I turned it off when I turned it on the first time.
One of my friends thought the whole motion flow thing was like the GREATEST ADVANCEMENT IN TELEVISION EVER and would leave it on for everything. It was really, really annoying. Everyone would tell him to turn it off and he'd refuse to. It didn't matter that the picture would sometimes get these weird artifacts around people/characters, "IT MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK 60FPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" so that's all that mattered. Never mind that it could cause input lag.
But now he's been suckered into buying a 3DTV, so motion flow no longer matters.
motion flow is a bullshit option
and I think higher hz means less ghosting. also that 1080p24 thing.
Motionflow looks fucking weird and unnatural.My friend accidentally had it on his set when I went over there to watch Dexter one night. No one noticed how fucking annoying and unatural it looked but me. It's like everything was moving fast, yet they weren't. Luckily I found out how to put it back to its normal settings about 15 mins into the episode. I don't know why anyone would think that shit is a good idea.

I went to the local comic shop to pick up a cheap 3D comic (for the paper glasses), and flipped through this. I thought the reproduction quality was a bit lacking for the $40 retail, some of the images are quite fuzzy. For the $26 they're asking on Amahttp://peachbaby.jp/zon, it's a decent buy. I wish they'd have been a bit more varied with their selections of Golden Age covers, though, as a lot of them are covers we've all seen reprinted 1000 times over.
They've done 3 of them? Or is the only difference that they put a 3 on this box?

PSP Go :-\
only $100, though, and my PSP collection is finally complete.
that's why I bought it
the firmware was 5.70 and I want to upgrade to 6.20 so I can get this stuff rolling, but PSP battery needs to be fully charged.
only shame is that I can't get those three games for free since you need to sign into PSN on the go, but you can't on older firmwares.

If you can run ISOs, you can get those games for free anyway. ;)
I downloaded them and still have yet to try any of them. Don't have much interest in those titles.
dragon quest 9 and gta 4 complete for $40
the iso loading thing works fine, btw. you can even use the pause mode feature with it.
Another neat thing about the PSP Go is that if you use a ps3 controller with it and play a PS1 game, it maps L2/R2 properly (instead of on the analog nub). Gives me hope that someone will release a plugin that lets you remap buttons to anything the dual shock in the future. The Go is a nice portable device and all, but I'm trying to set it up to be more of my PSP console.
other problem is all the proprietary junk it deals with. You can't charge the system and use video out without buying the cradle because they use the same port.

Yeah, I use mine with TV-out all the time. I originally bought it to play Phantasy Star Portable 2 online, on TV, with a PS3 controller. Although I ended up not playing PSP2 as much as I would have thought. :lol :(Quoteother problem is all the proprietary junk it deals with.

Yeah, I bit the bullet and got the cradle immediately. You can get all the PSP Go accessories cheap enough from the right stores. You also have to use an original PSP AC adaptor with the cradle, BTW. :lol
But once you have it all set up, it makes it easy to hook the Go up to a TV and/or charge it. No hassle, no cords to keep plugging in and unplugging again.

Don't want Plasma-- my brother got a cheaper 40-something inch Plasma for $800 few months back, and I hated the way it looked, actually. I wanted a cheap LCD. This one has gotten some very good ratings and seemed like a steal for the price. It's an IPS instead of a TN Panel. Have read that it's very good for gaming; no noticeable input lag, etc. etc. Works for me.
One of my buddies has the Panny 3D Plasma set that's CNET's top-rated plasma; I don't care about 3D but the picture was awesome. I'd take that, but it was also like $2,400.

ME2 with all its DLC is a blast. You should love it. Was one of my favorite games last year.
Man, if you lived around me, I would let you borrow my system. I loved ME1. The motion comic doesn't replace the ME1 experience, unfortunately. But you'll have fun with ME2.What's a motion comic? I mean, I know what the format is, but relating to the game is it a feature or is it just a "Previously in Mass Effect" summary of ME1?

The pandora does look nice. I was just reading how you can get one instantly (within a week) for $500. How long did you have to wait for it?My guess would be ebay, for those 500$ Pandoras? I'm one of the criminally insane preorder guys that gave Craigix their money when he didn't even have a single prototype ready. So I've been waiting for two or three years now. :dur

Disclaimer: Right now it's not for "the masses". It's a portable Linux machine, and a reasonably powerful and feature-rich one at that. Only buy one if you have a clear goal in mind, it's not worth it if you just want to play emulators and have a grand ol' time. Yet. The software side of the thing is still in beta, and some parts show it. Others are surprisingly polished by now.

I dunno really. I've been a man-purse carrier for like 15 years now, couldn't do without one even if people were to start singing Village People songs at me when I passed them in the street.

This one is definitely more for poncing around in I think.

Nvidia needs to revamp their naming system. How the hell is anyone supposed to know that 485 is actually more powerful than 555?iPads use a different class of processors than conventional PCs. Not really comparable.
Anyways, the correct answer is get the better laptop in A and the Ipad (sic). $600 is pocket change for a balla like you.
Btw, buying an Ipad 2 makes you a complete hypocrite when it comes to complaining about how terribly overpriced Nintendo's outdated hardware is.

Perhaps you could try playing an ADV that does more than just present text? There's a lot of ADVs out there that combine other genres/interactions to mix things up a bit. Or even animated ones like School Days (though you tried that before, haven't you?). Not sure if Umineko will do the trick for you, unless the story completely engrosses you from the get go, because outside of that it's pretty standard.

Yeah, mine shipped the day before the quake. Figured it was probably lost in the mail so I was surprised when it showed up. I even used the cheaper SAL shipping and it took less than a week WITH the earthquake.

Vacuum cleaners are expensive. We bought a Dyson Motorhead Complete today. Here's a review for the curious:

Yeah, it was hard to find in San Jose, California as well. When we found it, we bought out their stock. We don't play well with others.

All the bottle shops around here have a 1 per person limit on Pliny, but the grocery stores don't, so I cleaned out Whole Foods.

Trawling, obviously.Just got a small hardcover notebook to carry around with me and jot down things.
Was writing in it at the club and a chick asked me what I was writing. Told her I was writing about her, she grabbed it and wrote down her phone number. Works for me.
No, but really, why were you writing in it in a club?

So do I, but the case is going to live inside my entertainment center shelving, so it doesn't really matter.
the standard leather case is pretty classy but i kinda wanted something a little flashier so i can make sure everyone knows HEY LOOK AT ME. I AM READING. I'M CULTURED. only draw back is no light but i can just switch it back to the leather one if i'm reading it at night

Yeah, while I definitely found their was a noticeable difference in sound quality, it for sure wasn't huge. You get the most difference in songs with heavier bass with that mod, so perhaps try out listening to a song you know well that has a lot of bass. If you still can't tell any difference, well then maybe it is just your ears at that point. :lol

With it hooked up to a headphone amp, and playing music I've heard frequently before the mod, the difference is a little more pronounced. The bass is, if anything, a little more buttery.

Years of bad posture have left me with a monkey ass. My weight is fine, I'm in shape etc, but I really want to correct this
Foam rollers are really useful but they can be incredibly painful, watch out.
Improving your posture makes it look like you've lost weight even if you haven't, so not surprising.
I love mine. I have one of the first models that came out. I like your lace-ups; I'll grab a pair next time I can.

got this chair off craigslist for 450. the actual chair retails close to a thousand. the guy was selling it as new, and while everything feels pretty damn fresh with no scuffs of anykind, it was obviously lying in some office being rolled around given the condition of the rollers. either way, this chair is amazing and is only convincing me to drop more than a grand for herman miller's embody, which i was ready to do.
Why do you say that, Bildi?
Don't get me started! But a few annoyances:
- randomly changing the views of my folders. I looked online and a lot of people seem to have this issue. I use big icons for some folders and small for others, and it changes from one to the other randomly even though I set the window previously. And then sometimes it changes to column view, even I never use column view for anything.
- app folder, can't move certain apps out into a sub-folder. I used to have a shortcut to the app folder in the dock, but now it's filled with programs I don't use. So I had to make a folder and use aliases complete with the distracting arrow. And launchpad (one of the reasons I actually upgraded) is awful.
- three finger swipe up and down doesn't work in BetterTouchTool. OSX seems to have said no other app can use that gesture.
- the loss of the 4x4 spaces grid. Oh yay, a continuous line of 16 spaces. I reduced it to four because anymore in a straight line was too cumbersome (I swipe between then rather than activate mission control and select one which is too slow).
- can't move files between the spaces. I have Finder open in space four, want to drag files to a program in space three. Fuck no, can't do that!
- I'm pretty sure startup is slower.
- programs keeping track of what file was open when I quit. So today I went to read a PDF, and when I opened it Preview also opened the porn I was viewing yesterday. Lucky nobody was standing next to me. So I have to remember to close files, THEN quit. Good lord. I've dumped Preview for any image viewing now anyway.
Thanks, it felt good to vent. :lol
I've been looking at getting a new computer chair recently too but I have no clue what to get. Pretty much all the advice I've found seems to come down to "buy a used Steelcase or Herman Miller chair (unless you've got the money for a new one)", but living in a smaller city deals like those are impossible to find. Right now I'm considering ordering a Herman Miller SAYL but spending $400+ for a bottom-tier model isn't really sitting right with me. le sigh.
That chair is incredible. Although, I dunno if I could drop $400+ on a seat I'm gonna spend a majority of the time using while beating off.

from all the research i've done, herman miller is basically selling it as the scaled down version of the embody, although almost to the point of not resembling its older brother. it's pretty new to the market so i couldn't find any professional reviews, but the few impressions from blogs seem pretty positive. it's probably the best chair you can buy new for 400. i'd suggest doing it and if you want to ever move up, given the market where you live, you can probably sell it at decent price used.
plus, it's fucking beautiful.

And the Emperor, in all his glory, found it prudent to give me french character cards. FRENCH. I don't understand a single word on those cards. Might as well have been Orkish. :-\

That's a cool piece. Not that I would spend $55 on it, but it's cool.
didnt know they did a MM dual pack- thats awesomeThose are two of my favorite PSP games, with UGnG, I had high hopes for more of those games for that system.
I pre-ordered Gears 3 on amazon since I don't want to get it from GameStop anymore. Also bought Just Cause 2 which might have been a mistake.
yeah, I was about to get Gears 3, then I realized I just bought Call of Juarez 2, NFS Hot Pursuit, Radiant Historia, Ghost Trick, and have a backlog I need to work on.

Professor Michael Collins was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was an African American pacifist and family man working for the Roxxon Oil cybernetics corporation Cybertek, whose brain was transplanted against his will into a robotic killing machine by agents of Harlan Ryker. The machine was used against rebels fighting against Roxxon's influence in the fictional South American country of Estrella.
Although his brain was intended to serve only as a medium for the robot's programming, he was able to assert his will over it (installing a "no-killing parameter" into its programming).[21] The computer is fully willing to listen to Collins, though he must take care to present his orders in a way that helps fulfill the mission and keep people from dying. The computer is fully capable of understanding distinct concepts, such as bluffing, as when Collins is forced to pretend to take a hostage.
He met Jesus Badalamente, and helped the rebels as soon as he could, though of course they did not initially trust him. Roxxon utilized giant robot ants against Collins and his allies, though the robot's scanners were able to find weaknesses. The rebels soon came to trust Collins. The leader even tries to save Collins with his own dropped gun, though he learns it does not work for anyone but Collins. Collins also battles Mainframe.[22]

wait wait wait, you bought arkham city and it didn't come with the game or extras and you just ate the fucking cost?? WHY? How did you not raise hell like a motherfucker and start knocking magazine racks over?? HOW???
I've eatin cost on a few things in my time but that's still pretty nutsI have too. But it's usually when I make the mistake. That is blatant bullshit where Best Buy should be easily taking the shaft on that one. No argument. It seems too uncomplicated to eat the cost.

It was $22. I have the first half of the series, but I've only watched the first episode. BONES + mecha = please be good?
The problem is the plot makes about as much sense as FFXIII. So it's hard to care by the end when you have no idea wtf the show is about.

just scored it for 6.49 on amazon!
didn't even know the bluray's even came out
I don't own a single piece of furniture so I had to start from scratch. So I bought a sofa, a bed, an L shaped computer desk, and a nice computer chair. The bed was the costliest item ($1600) but it felt great and is definitely a step up from the $99 mattress that I bought 5 years ago.
I only own a 24" 720p LCD TV (which is nice) and I want to go almost all out on a TV. I heard good things about the Sharp LEDs on AVS (I originally wanted a 60" plasma) so I decided to jump on that instead. I'm going to an electronics store to see my options up close.

HP-something or other-- a new printer/scanner/copier/fax/whatever. technology is getting to be too much for me. it comes with a feature where I can upload photos from my phone, and when I get home, it's already printed and waiting for me. and it has a screen with apps...there's a crayola app to print out coloring outlines for children. and when you print, the screen folds out and a plastic bar swivels out to hold the printed page; when you take the page off the bar, it automatically retracts. AND it automatically prints double sided, which is partly why I bought it because my old broken pos printer had me physically replace the page each time.That sounds badass. How much was it?
this:
(http://i.imgur.com/QzXIn.jpg)
like $150 and the guy gave a $50 rebate, but online it seems to be going for $200 to $250 :-X
I bought it yesterday because I urgently needed a printer, and bought it because it looked cool (like if the Atari 2600 style was modernized) and the guy said I could print double sided. I was planning to upgrade because I also needed a scanner and my old one could only print...slowly.

Join the club! :lol But getting her some UGGS meant I was free to buy myself a Vita.
Sorry, MAF, that Lumley novel is not about what you think it's about.
Myself, my fiance, her Mother, and her ex all chipped in and bought a PS3 and some games for her kids, and she got the PS3 today. I was worried that she was waiting to the last minute, but now I'm glad she did because the 320GB Uncharted 3 bundle at Best Buy came with a $50 gift card and the Uncharted Greatest Hits Dual pack. I unboxed it and put my PS3 account on it, currently downloading all my previous purchases for them. Between that and all the games from the B2G1 Gamestop sale they're gonna have a kickass Christmas (better than any I ever had, that's for damned sure :lol). I made the suggestion thinking all of us would be broke (I am) and by kicking in together we'd come out looking like heroes for not much money each. I thought those kids weren't gonna get much and this way at least they'd get something really nice to share, but the last time I was over at her place there were mounds of presents for them under the tree, and the PS3 and games are still at my house. Spoiled rotten >:(
Skyrim was the game I wanted most, but apparently there's some major performance issue on the Triple if your save file goes over 8MB or something.Surprised you managed to miss all the nerdrage over this. Yeah, definitely do not get Skyrim for PS3

even though it doesn't have the movie its worth it to get especially for that cheap.
also got 150K to gear up for my undergraduate and graduate studies. Double minor in CS/BioEng with a major in Mechanical Engineering. Now for the fun part of life where I get to stress the fuck out for the next 6 years or so. I haven't been back to school for 4+ years now.
Already got accepted for a coop for next year as long as I keep a 3.5 gpa. That will help go a long way if they offer to help recoup some of the loans I'm taking out. Thankfully most of them are grants and government money, no third party suck you dry loans.
Coop is usually a contracted agreement between a company and the school to hire students in their prospective study for experiance in real world application of your studies. The school I was accepted into is Santa Clara College its in the heart of the silicon valley so its a great opportunity for me.Double-plus congratulations to you, then. That's great!

I left my handgun with my girlfriend before I went on deployment. She just told me that it's disappeared. What the fuck?
In the spirit of buying, though, I plan on buying a Kel-Tec SU16 and a Remington 870 when I get back. I probably won't replace the handgun, at least not for a while.The Remington 870 is on my wishlist to replace my current old-ass single shot shotgun. Post a review of them when you get it. My next firearm is going to be a Colt M4. I was planning on grabbing an LE6920 but they're hard as hell to find and the last one I saw in the wild was gone when I went back for it.

Do all Gundam have schoolboys for penises?
screw it, cancelled my Japanese order that had the slide pad and other stuff and order one from gamestop (argh, hate supporting evil gamestop). Hopefully will get it by friday and will try RE this weekend.
Didn't know that :(
Too late now. Gamestop has my $30 :(

Are digital titles cheaper to offset the cost of buying storage cards?
i'm partly motivated by staring at a shelf of DS games - i haven't seen my DS in about 2 years. I need some poor-ass gamers to come over and rid me of all this old shit
could always give stuff away to childrens hospitals/foster homes- thats where my Wii went
Sure. It's just impossible to GIVE STUFF AWAY here. Everyone is so fetishistic about perfect game boxes and such....I don't give a shit and don't even want money for it, i just feel weird throwing it in the trash. But that's what I usually end up doing.
Bought a bunch of car parts. Must be on a deployment.what parts for what car?
could always give stuff away to childrens hospitals/foster homes- thats where my Wii went
I gave away the Wii - best day I can remember in recent years. A friend was over borrowing some books, saw it in the cupboard, asked what the deal was and I thrust it into his hands and bundled him out the door before he could refuse. What followed after that was like the bomb scene from the 60s Batman tv show
Probably is perfect for digital, but I don't want to fill my mem stick if I don't have to.Did you get a 4GB?

forgot i wasn't allowed to like more than one thing at a time
I had this old hdtv that I bought around the same time I bought my console. This was back at the 360 launch. It was cheap at the time which is why I got it. It only went up to like 720p/1080i so I finally bought some Acer 23 inch monitor recently at best buy to double as a new one for my computer and also to use it to play on the console at my desk. I had heard about monitor lag but had never really paid much attention to it thinking it was no big deal but in the back of my mind I made sure to get a monitor that had 2ms of lag which is way less than what my old one had when I looked it up. It's not an especially good monitor or anything, but it was cheap and the sales sticker said the 2 ms thing.
Man what a fucking difference. I play a lot of twitch based shooters like COD and stuff and man I can feel the improvement. I'm getting the drop on people all the time now where as before I felt like I was but it always seemed like they would kill me first. Its a small amount of milliseconds but if you play a lot of twitch style games, it makes a much bigger difference than I would have ever believed.

If it helps you play better basketball, I say the $80 is worth it.
Bought a Sharp 40" Quattron HDTV the other day. It retails normally for $1200 but saw it on sale for $499.... couldn't pass that up even if I already own way too many freaking TVs. This is my first 120hz one though.
I was vaguely aware of the "soap opera" effect due to the motion processing in higher hertz HDTVs but never experienced it for myself until I brought this home. Totally bizarre. On one hand, the image quality is absolutely, draw droppingly amazing. Everything pops. I've never seen a TV this clear before. It's almost 3D-like. Seriously. On the other, the smoothing of motion and processing effects in the TV make everything seem like it was filmed on the stage of some soap opera.....an amazing crystal clear "I can see the makeup in their pores" soap opera, but still a daytime soap opera. Popped in the Avatar Blu-Ray last night for the hell of it and now everything looks completely....um....artificial.
I can't decide if I like the look or not but it sure is something to see. Everyone that's seen it so far has had the same reaction that I had. Marveling at the picture quality but also noticing how "off" it is at the same time.
Gaming on the sucker is beyond impressive though. The processing effects makes everything seem buttery smooth.
You get used to it- was that way with my bravia for a spell tooNo. That shit is terrible. I envy people who don't notice it.

Waiting for delivery.
I have all of that stuff, drew! (minus the spork) Make sure you unwrap the tourniquet and rewrap it so you can apply it to yourself with one hand! You should probably get an occlusive dressing, some medical tape, and a chest decompression needle in case you or one of your buddies shoots you in the chest. Tension pneumothorax can be a bitch.

Yeah, it does.
And chrono, Crunchyroll is a bunch of subbed anime series and j-dramas. Probably around 200+ anime series, and they usually pick up 4 or 5 new ones a season, which are released 4 days after the Japanese broadcast to premium members. You can still watch them if you don't pay ($7 a month), but you have to wait an extra week and you don't get HD streams.
55 inch is just too big for the bedroom. So I'm gonna move it to the living room where there is no tv currently. Also got another 360 cause its STAR WARS bitch. The Samsung UN46ES8000 has kinect like functionality and a touch remote. FUTURISTIC MAN!

I thought you were broke?I am pretty much broke I make by though. Taxes really helped out this year since I didn't owe anything. So for once I got a refund worth a damn. That and having a dependent for the first time I made back some money. But I didn't use money to buy any of it.
I haven't been keeping up with TVs, but buying superceded models is a great way to go. That's how I bought my last TV too. And as far as I remember, outgoing models are often better than the incoming ones, especially given early life reliability problems and bugs.
I'm running it in THX mode with low contrast for the first week or two, seems to be the recommended route.

Funding Japan's economic recovery.
From Lovecraft to Borges to Gaiman, a century of intrepid literary experimentation has created a corpus of dark and strange stories that transcend all known genre boundaries. Together these stories form The Weird, and its practitioners include some of the greatest names in twentieth and twenty-first century literature.
Exotic and esoteric, The Weird plunges you into dark domains and brings you face to face with surreal monstrosities. You won’t find any elves or wizards here...but you will find the biggest, boldest, and downright most peculiar stories from the last hundred years bound together in the biggest Weird collection ever assembled.
The Weird features 110 stories by an all-star cast, from literary legends to international bestsellers to Booker Prize winners: including William Gibson, George R. R. Martin, Stephen King, Angela Carter, Kelly Link, Franz Kafka, China Miéville, Clive Barker, Haruki Murakami, M. R. James, Neil Gaiman, Mervyn Peake, and Michael Chabon.

I've bought a mess of them for friends -- I think it's an ownership/completionist thing in their case.
FINALLY found this online cheap. I've had a morbid curiosity with this for a couple years now.
For those that are like "WTF Gundam that's all moonspeak what the hell is that game?", it's an Evangelion pachinko game for the PS3.

Do you have any spare monitors for sale? I'm still using the one I bought from you like 6 years ago. lol
I'm about to order nearly that same config, Cruncheon, only without an SSD.
I would've last week but impressions on the heating and battery life delayed me. I realized the battery life isn't really an issue for me. And I guess 60c going up to 80-90c under load is only a bit worse than average for laptops? realistically it'll only play games plugged in, probably on a cooling pad or something and that could help.
Excellent laptop but isn't 11.6" too small for gaming? It's almost iPad size...

I need to hit up Banana Republic and the Gap. I have a 50% off hook-up at those stores.
Brooks Brothers is expensive and I've found they cut their stuff for older men (looser than I like) I like to shop sales at J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Gap. I recently bought a custom made suit at Indochino and was happy with the price but the product was not perfect. However, they offer a $75 alterations rebate if you have to fix it so you can't go wrong, I guess. My arm holes were too low and I'll have to fix that.

Hey Biz, where do you go for suits and sports jackets? I'm gonna hit up a Brooks Brothers for a classic suit this weekend and was wondering what you thought of them.Depending on how much you want to spend, j crew or banana republic might be better options. Brooks has nicely tailored stuff on the higher end but most entry level suiting is sackish and not something that will appeal to most dudes.

Hey Mr. Gundam, and MAF
When you guys post album covers, if they don't have the name of the band can you do me a favor and put what band it is? I tend to like the bands you guys listen to so I wanna check them out.
he does on Facebook
also, it's really irritating getting emails from Spotify whenever someone changes something in a playlist you subscribe to.

Maschine Mikro MK2. I want to make some of my own music. I haven't used a groovebox in forever but I'm already using Traktor and stuff for mixing so I figured this would be the easiest way to keep that going.

Cause with each iPad purchase (each generation) I promised myself that I would buy a Microsoft tablet- and so I have. I'll grab the Pro when its out.
(http://i.imgur.com/5kU44.jpg)Review when you get a chance please
bought n paid for by me myself and I awww yeah
From a usability standpoint the hardware is awesome and in some ways kinda groundbreaking. Performance wise its fine most of the time- but some games PinballFX2 have a questionable framerate- hoping this is a app-side issue that can be fixed with updates. Win8 shines in the tablet environment. Touch cover is fine- but those that NEED feedback to type will probably want the type cover; in terms of accepting input- touch cover is great- even has a touchpad. I've used it most of the week instead of my iPad- and all that I came away wanting were a few choice apps- which will hopefully come in time. The tablet dimensions also take some getting used to- to support HD video it's wide- so portrait mode is weird/thin. I tend to use it in landscape mode since it feels the most natural to hold, and for the apps themselves.I trust you, brochacho. it's actually kinda hard getting an honest review of this since so many in the tech nerd world love to hate on MS no matter what they do. I trust my bore brothers more than most sites.
Also I work at MS, so read some other reviews too so you dont feel like yer gettin splashed with kool aid
I trust ars technica- they tend to be the most even handed/educatedThanks! I'll check out their review

Your recent anti-consumerism is unamerican, soldier. As a Republican, I am the arbitrator of what is American.a quick tip - The Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray set is only $5 more than the regular Dark Knight Rises BR on amazon right now...I cancelled my preorder for the latter and got the set instead since my HD-DVD (lol) of Batman Begins is dead anyway. For $5 it's worth it just to have a couple of backups handy even if you already own the first two
Yeah, definitely worth it to have back ups of movies you own. . .

Many months ago, I tried donating to my local library about 100 books of mine that were veritable classics (all non-fiction) and they turned it down. Turns out, most libraries exist these days to check out movies and have computers for homeless people and car dwellers (Billiechu) to look up porn on.
In this digital age, nobody wanted them. Once I got Kindle versions of the stuff I wanted, I tossed them in the dumpster.

seriously, it's fine to start off with a light set if you have no experience lifting. Unless you do things completely wrong, you'll need more very soon though.
I bought about $600 worth of this-and-that from J.Crew on Friday—that's after the sale deduction. I had a grocery list of things I'd been hawk-eyeing over the past few months. And I bought Dishonored from Amazon and a used copy of The Informers to make the shipping free.
Show me the J Crew stuff! I ended up at the outlet mall on Friday on the way home from my girlfriend's parents and picked up from J Crew Factory a red merino wool sweater and navy/green plaid sleep pants. At gap I got some burgundy cords that I wore to the OU/OSU pregame. I'm wearing them again today. My first pair of pants that isn't blue/tan/white/or black since I was probably 10 years old, but everyone seems to love them.

I am probably going to grab TDKR on iTunes, having somehow missed its theatrical run when I was in the USA.Same. Will probably get it on iTunes as well. You have airvideo right? If not, look into it.
I could never figure out why people would buy movies or TV shows from iTunes until I got an AppleTV unit.

Buying a Global chef's knife is the single best thing I ever did for my cooking. You should be able to get those over there since they are Japanese, right?

guns are actually a lot safer than knives if you think about it, i always keep my handgun at Israeli o' clock (full mag inserted, no round in chamber), with a knife...well at least where i work, it's just out there floating around the kitchen all day, gleaming edge dangling outside it's zipper, waiting, and perhaps wanting to bite you.
You are insane. :lol

any IR AV?
Use graph paper!I like your map, Borys. You are clearly enjoying these games hugely.
Yeah I'm just that old school.
I think it adds the most to big world, immersive games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 even if their technical implementation isn't the best. Arkham is 3D Vision Ready so a great showcase, AA is great too. It's amazing how much it can add to older games that you'd think would be too fugly to play now - I had a great time with the original Thief (plus high res textures and widescreen of course). Dragon Age is actually pretty sweet too, amazingly. Even StarCraft II and Diablo 3 gain a lot. Of course the real lookers like Battlefield 3 only look better, but at a FPS hit maybe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_3D_Vision_Ready_games
The Nvidia forums has a 3D vision section where people post recommended games all the time, and tips and tricks to get stuff working and tweaked right. Unfortunately you have to put some time in to most games. There are plenty of games like Mass Effect 2/3 that are listed as unsupported but can be brought up to snuff without much work, and are greatly improved by it. YMMV but I play almost everything in 3D now.
You can also have fun with 3D movie rips played in the NVidia app...the only one i bothered with was Avatar. Best watched on a tv of course.

People say the Silvia is really tricky due to lack of accurate temperature controls or displays but I doubt it is worse than what I have right now. Servicing is likely going to be a problem whatever I get 'cause I will be importing (vs paying triple price in Japan - a Silvia would be $1,700 here). I am leaning towards that - at least its foibles are well-chronicled so I can work around them if it is a problem.
The best one I've tried myself is this, which a friend owns. God Tier espresso and amazing-looking IMHO

Had a weird thing happen yesterday: tried to check-in on Facebook for a little place in Nara, but it wasn't yet registered there. It was registered on Untappd, even though the place only has Asahi Super Dry. Here in Osaka, there are NO ENTRIES for anything it seems like, but here was this little, out-of-the-way restaurant on a side street in Nara.
The sites on Untappd are actually from FourSquare, so that's why it showed up there.Shouldn't there be more FourSquare sites in Osaka, though? That's what I mean... It's... Nara, for crissakes.

The main thing deterring me at this point is that I have a ton of things set up the way I want 'em on iPhone, and it seems like it would cost me a lot of time and money to do so on Android. The h/w is generally far sexier elsewhere now though, although I love the actual design of the iPhone. I know people that use Windows phones or Android as their 'phone' but keep an iPhone around basically as an app device to do certain things they can't get elsewhere, which seems like a real pain in the ass and unnecessary expense.

I don't think I've ever stooped to insulting a GameStop clerk, though I might reconsider the policy if they made fun of me buying a legitimately good game. "Seriously, all you've got to do is know what's good and what's not, in a field you're so interested in that you're willing to work at this crappy place... but you can't even get that right?"
By the way, best feature of a good game unfortunately featuring Fiddy Cent? You can turn off his music in options, and the game runs an orchestral soundtrack instead.

I've never used an Aeropress, but I've always wanted to. I've got a french press and a standard brewer at home, and I only use the french press every once in a while. For me, the cleanup is the biggest issue.As mentioned, there is basically no cleanup. The design differs from a syringe in that the tip can be removed, and the grounds are pressed out through it; you pop the mostly dry "puck" into the trash. A French Press, you have to drag the plunger back out through the wet grounds, and then figure out how to get them into the trash and not rinse them down your sink. Here's a how-to, including clean up:
Gamestop clerks always make some comment on my purchases. I don't mind when they just say something interesting or relevant (like telling me if there's a sequel coming for the game or something), but occasionally they get excited and want to have a whole conversation. It's weird when they're aspie or ADHD or just losers.I don't mind conversation, and I don't mind a little critical commentary, as long as it's polite. I get pissed off if there's a line but the clerks are still being chatty, and it really bothers me when they actively dissuade me from buying a new copy instead of used.

FWIW, that barista is using his own technique, and I can confirm it is superior to the instructions on the box.
His "create a vacuum" technique would not have ever dawned on me. Suh-weet.
I'm not talking about a simple offer, I mean when the clerk asks me more than once if I'd rather get something used, points out that it's $5 cheaper (no, thank you), points out that it's guaranteed (no, thank you), and then says "it's essentially the same."Gamestop clerks always make some comment on my purchases.

Unfortunately, that's what the company makes us do. We're supposed to offer used copies instead of new ones if we have it. I'm not pushy about it though, because some people just like having new games.
When it comes to actually selling the games at the counter, I'm very anti-chit chat. I sell what I have to sell, I offer what I have to offer, and I get the people out the door.
IIRC, the box instructions say 10 seconds of stirring, followed by a 20 seconds push. The barista in the vid does a small splash to wet the grounds, a 30 second pre-soak, and then fills the tank, capping it with the plunger to create a vacuum, so the water can't easily fall prey to gravity. 30 seconds more, then the plunger is pushed.FWIW, that barista is using his own technique, and I can confirm it is superior to the instructions on the box.

what's this secret technique?
also, after seeing the pics of gross aeropress' after 6 months of daily use, I've decided to just buy a new one every 6 months, if it gets all damaged looking.
I'm sure the plastic is food grade. Aerobie is not a tiny, sketchy company. They make those rubber rings that flew forever with a light throw. As long as you don't keep the thing in the sunlight and you make sure to wipe it down after each use, I doubt the plastic will break down.
I'm gonna go get some grounds from a local roaster today. They have a ton of varieties, so I'm gonna try a whole bunch.
Chrono - you are also heating the Aeropress and cups, right? And getting the water to 92 degrees C? It is startling how much difference this will make to the coffee (and your coffee will stay warmer longer too...). A thermometer and kitchen timer may seem fussy for a freakin' cup of coffee but once you can taste the difference you can't go backYes, I preheat the cup. I don't have a thermometer, may buy one. If you say it makes a big difference, I believe you.
Regular style was already a huge improvement over my drip coffee. Now i'm drinking coffee all day! I like the idea of letting it sit longer, i'll try it.
Picked up some 1/4 pounds at a local roaster today. Some costa rican tarrazu, tanzamanian peaberry, and two specialty blends.
I don't use a thermometer either. I either get it before the bubbles start boiling up or I let it boil, then turn the stove down to 3 for a few mins. I heat up the milk for my lattes in the microwave, which is annoying. I gotta get a milk steamer.
I picked up some sweetened condensed milk for my coffee on the way back from the roaster :drool
Polder digital thermometer - $15 on amazon. If you do any roasting, it is a must. I use it for every cup of coffee too. I guess you are right about the Aeropress needing lower temps though, so using 80. It is fine at first but goes cold quickly unless the cup is molten. So i'm switching to heavy ceramic mugs rather than glass-walled vacuum mugs (which keep the coffee warm but are difficult to warm themselves, so do not ADD heat...).
Haven't tried the upside-down technique yet...will try a few more cups regular-style first. It is good but not yet mind-blowing or an improvement on my regular drip coffee.
YES I TAKE THIS SO SERIOS. IF YOU TASTED MY COFFEE YOU'D UNDERSTAND
uh, no
Drip can be peerless, press coffee is often shit, and temp is a key determinant for flavor extraction. Try the same beans, the same grind, the same machine and vary the brew temp by 10 degrees each time and you should notice a diff. It's exactly the same thing as using a bunsen burner in the lab - you give it the amount of heat the professor tells you to if you want it to work properly. Boiling water is way too hot, and most people can't tell the diff between water at 100 degrees C and the water in the kettle when it is making weird noises and giving off steam (that happens at a WIDE range of temps).
oh, there was no qualitative judgement there? pardonnez moi
use a simple ceramic filter for drip coffee and i guarantee you can get coffee as good as Aeropress, and way better than any drip machine i've tried. If you don't understand how the temp makes a difference, you don't understand chemistry, or any branch of cooking (which is 99% about the application of heat).

I drink coffee to wake upSame. Never got all this coffee geekery.
I think you will. The biggest difference I achieved with drip coffee was heating the whole thing first - the ceramic dripper and the paper filter - as well as the cups. Same for espresso - heat everything that will come into contact with the water and you will get much better results, 'cause those things are not leeching away the heat. If that stuff is all cold, it won't matter that the thermometer is recording the right temp for the water while it's still in the kettle.

Shooting up money seems kinda pointless to me. Can't you practice with a BB gun or something that's cheaper?This statement can be applied to pretty much any hobby.

It's just that you need to practice very regularly to maintain your aiming skills and at that price your not going to be able to do it very often. I understand that he wants to give it a try, but wasting hundreds of dollars on ammo seems like a waste. You do have a point about comparing it to other hobbies though.Eh. I don't shoot very often and my skill doesn't seem to deteriorate. But I guess it depends on your definition of often. I go shoot maybe a half a dozen times a year. But I tend to go nuts when I do taking every gun that I own.

Got Amazon Prime. Considering how I end up buying a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff from Amazon monthly, it just made sense. I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing it sooner. The instant streaming stuff kicks the shit out of Netflix ( :bow The Shield and Justified :bow2 ).I quite enjoyed Prime while I was in the USA -- 2-day free shipping was great, and the videos were a nice extra. Plenty of earlier seasons of good shows. There's a pretty good heap of movies on there, as well. The selection changes though; stuff disappears, so beware, and watch stuff instead of assuming it'll be there forever.

Also, if you travel much, even PURCHASED videos, not Prime Instant Streaming, but theoretically Stuff That's Yours Now, will not be available outside the USA.
Amazon Prime is really pissing me off lately. Things I bought as late as last November on Prime are now "add-on items" and they will only ship them for free if I buy $25 of other merchandise. The old bait and switch. I hate capitalism.Yeah, that's been getting me a bit as well. My wife said, "yeah, but if they're not making money by sending you a $3 cable with free shipping, there's nothing to be done."
Comics don't fit in your mailboxes? That's gotta suck. They fit pretty easily in mine.

I'm sorry, man. That's awful. Even when I lived in an apartment we at least had special mailboxes for big items that varied in size. The postman would just leave the key to the package mailbox in yours for you to get your package.

Awesome.. you Seattle-ites love your Subarus I've found!

Nice, mups. You have any other bikes?nope. Its my first really. Growing up I rode an old Honda that my dad had. And I've rode my brothers Ninja and a few friend's Harleys.
Mups its a slippery slope man! Next you'll be going to ralleys and going on runs. Such a beauty though.haha everyone told me I would catch a bug and want something with more power. I think they're right. But I'm fine for now. Its fun as hell to cruise on and its easy to handle. I do wanna see how the softail Harleys ride now though.
Yeah the power is kinda on the weak side, but for a beginners bike it's great. I went from learning on a dyna-wide glyde to a 100th anniversary fatboy, wow what a difference in power. I've been looking to get my own one day, but I'll be getting a car I think before I get a motorcycle. Got my eyes on a Model X for 2015.I've ridden the fatboys before but I've never cruised with one. I can see how the size and comfort would make for an incredible ride though. I need to get some new springs and maybe adjust the preload on my 883. The suspension is similiar to riding a brick being drug by a truck haha

I'm thinking about getting an HDTV to replace my old ass SDTV. I've never bought one before brehs, give me some tips. It's going to be a living room TV, mainly for Netflix/Plex/etc; I'll get a Blu Ray player later. Is 32' good for a living room, or would 40' make more sense.
I'm pretty sure people don't buy 'HDTVs' anymore they just by a TV and it is HD. Also welcome to the Present, PD.
What's the best brand, quality wise? Also kind of concerned about ordering online. I've ordered delicate shit before (PSU and a couple Kindles) but I'd be concerned about some UPS asshole breaking my TV.UPS doesn't usually deliver larger sets. Freight shipping usually will do it. They're a lot more careful.
