$100 gift card to a movie theater chain he likes

my family is weird.  we buy whatever we want so it's hard for people to gift shop for us, so it leaves the rest of us doing stuff like this

but it's the preferred method

Goddamn.  I bet that was an awesome experience.

The best feeling after a rebuild/restoration is that completion drive.  It's like Goddamn!  But I think that's a great feeling with any car work, doing that completion drive.  I remember after I installed my headers and exhaust on my Vette.  Pushing that goddamn button and hearing her purr instead of that pussy ass stock exhaust, I seriously got shivers down my spine.  Then I pulled out into the street, slammed it in first and heard her scream.  I seriously got hard.

:drool

Thanks!  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.

Been on something of a shopping binge lately; here is some of the more interesting stuff I've picked up.


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
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ENrKROM5L._AA280_.jpg)

These are basically Hobbit feet, except not so hairy. It's just like being barefoot except your soles are tough and protected.

Do-win weightlifting shoes:
(http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-10840410867514_2085_152322)

Being doing nothing but heavy lifting lately so these seemed like a good investment. They feel super stable.

Velbon C-500 tripod
(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NBZDCT5PL._SS500_.jpg)

My wife is starting up an online store and we need to take lots of pictures of products. Tripod seemed like the way to go.

The Pleasures of Cooking for One by Judith Jones

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P0JijfW%2BL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg)
One of the few cookbooks I've seen that is actually tailored for single serving portions.  For stuff that is very difficult to make for one person, such as soups and such, Jones gives second and third day recipes to vary things up.  Jones is the longtime Knopf editor whose worked with Julia Child and other well known chefs, so she has a great pedigree.

Jeanne D'Arc , from the reviews, seemed like it was sort of a simpler game. I did order Disgaea 2 and Yggdra Union on the JRPG front based off Drinky's recommendation. Wasn't sure about how well the FFT port was so I didn't pick it up despite being like $10.

edit: I've got R-Type Command coming in the mail. :)

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.

I've heard nonstop great things about XF.  Should be a good srpg.

I'd recommend Metal Gear Ac!d 2.  It's a strategy turn-based card-based game and apparently it's fantastic.  I only played the first Ac!d and even that was good but I hear Ac!d2 decimates it.

Nah it's a Mega Man game

My suggestions for spreadsheet/stats:

Class of Heroes
Field Commander
Metal Gear Acid (requires loving card games)
PoPoLoCrois (warning: uguu~)
Riviera (not very grid-based but, it is ok. you will probably like Yggdra more)
Tom Clancy's End War (plays like Advance Wars, not RTS) - http://www.seyretal.com/wp-content/uploads/tom-clancys-end-war-psp1.jpg

Thanks for the tips, Demi, I'll check those games out.

D&D Tactics is pretty sweet, btw. They didn't hold back on the nerdery (so far) and the game's better for it.

Popolocrois was unplayable on PSP-1000s due to the ghosting and constant loading but I was able to finish it on my PSP-3000.  I still wouldn't HIGHLY recommend it, it's just...average.

Get the Disgaea games, those are great. :rock

This man knows what's up. Jeanne Darc is worth a play Frag (skip the cutscenes tho). Field Commander is also good

Also, while FFT is a good game, it is incredibly unbalanced and the port is pretty sloppy. There was no work done to the camera and there are frequent framerate drops. They added a few pretty inconsequential characters (cept for Balthier who is actually pretty good) and some new cutscenes, but thats it. I would still get it if I were you

:bow First Contact in HD :bow2

:piss Nemesis :piss2

And since I can tolerate Insurrection, even more so than Generations, the set was worth it.

God damn the Enterprise E looks great in HD.

Wait till you get to the bonus disc its a TNG fans dream i tell you. Not to mention it includes the video's from the 4d Borg invasion and the other "ride" from the now defunct Star Trek Experience from Las Vegas.

FUCKING LOVE FIRST CONTACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IN HD TOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :o :o :o :o :o

I got tired of waiting on a sale so I paid the $52 Amazon price for each. It's better than the $140 they originally retailed for.

And I wouldn't pay for Voyager :puke

The Namco-off.
Was in the hunt only for Katamari (I was fiending, left Beautiful Katamari in the States) but decided to pick up Tekken 6 as well since it was ~¥3,000 cheaper on 360 than PS3. Tekken is good fun, played a SHITTON this weekend with friends, and Katamari is, well... Katamari. But it's looks GOOD. Cool graphical filters and remixed tunes too.

It's a documentary. It has several hours of old color footage that's been newly discovered and restored, along with interviews and accounts from vets to tie it all together along with narration by Gary Sinise.

Post by: cool breeze on January 25, 2010, 11:09:54 PM
The movie is really good, but has very little in common with the book...I mean, other than raining food.  I read the book all the time when I was younger too.  That and this book about math word problems with a girl as the main character.  I'm still trying to remember what it's called.  One bit was about how the dad told the daughter to always listen to the mother, but the mother told her that the dad always lies.  That blew my mind.

oh shit, it was called Math Curse.  Looking up the guy who made it, I had other books of his too like The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and the Stinky Cheese Man.

Wasn't running quite right, and the rear window wouldn't go up. That grew to also including fixing bearings and a control arm in the front axle. All that coupled with standard maintenance, and a front-end alignment and voila. I really should think about gettting rid of it, but with it paid off, I was determined to drive it as long as possible and get other debt out of the way before buying another. Clearly, that's working out great. :-\

My Apple Mighty Mouse (the second one I'm on, I might add-- the first died several months after purchase) is back to giving me shit again (the trackball is a piece of shit), so I went to the Apple Store today to check out the Magic Mouse once again.  I've been wanting a wireless mouse anyway, and was about to purchase one, but then decided to do some further research.  Seems like quite a few people like it, however there are issues with the promised long battery life being complete bullshit.  So rather than be disappointed by another Apple mouse and not wanting any potential issues with Windows, I went with my father's -a noted Apple whore- recommendation and ordered a Kensington Ci75m mouse off Amazon for half the price of the Magic Mouse.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Nhg9AABwL._SS500_.jpg)

It's not Bluetooth, but makes up for it by offering wired capabilities too-- inside the mouse is a cable that can be used with the USB dongle if the batteries run out or you just need to be using a wired connection.

This was entirely coincidental, but while at the Apple store, I got on the phone with my father and was talking to him about this stuff, saying "Yeah, I just read all these complaints about the Magic Mouse's battery life and ergonomics.  People on Mac Rumors are saying it's got issues and dies out too quickly."  This was right across from an employee who was trying to sell a couple on a Mac -talking about that mouse in particular-.  The guy froze mid-sentence when I said that and the couple just kinda laughed.   :lol

Hey EB I kind of want to buy a 360 soon, especially now that I have a 1080p monitor with HDMI. Does it ever seem like the price will drop again anytime soon?

Also here are my college books.

More or less anything. It just feels like being barefoot (which is awesome), except less painful. Lots of Crossfitters use them for workouts, but they're also supposedly great for trailrunning, climbing, watersports etc. They weigh practically nothing so very handy for the gym bag if nothing else. And they make very cool house slippers.

I was in the mood for some escapist fiction and i found this at Border's for half off

so three book omnibus for under $10.

heard that was a good series. Let me know man.

i read about 40 pages of it last night.  it's interesting.  it's one of those books where the dragons are super intelligent and can speak immediately after hatching.  i didn't know if i'd be really down when that started happening but the historical elements keep everything kind of grounded, i think.

It's not nine books yet. It will be. Jackson got the rights back when it was only five or six and the author has since said it will end up being nine.

thanks for your impressions. And wow its a 9 book series Mana?

Reminds me of the Turledove alternate history book series that never ended.

when i say i hate fantasy, it's usually because of books like this.

i also bought Dominion.

GF has a friend from college who is into Catan, so I figured I could probably sneak in some eurogames with them

I got them from amazon but if you buy online, be very careful with the sizing. The sizes listed correspond with the actual size of your foot, so measure your feet first. DO NOT just order your regular shoe size - it'll be two or three sizes too big.

Hey Bore, I want to get the Collector's Edition of GTAIV for the 360, since if I'm going to get that game might as well get a kick-ass lockbox with it too, especially considering that brand new, the CE costs only $60.

Here's the problem: no GameStop or Game Crazy near me has any more new CEs. Does anybody live near a GS or GC with a CE left? I'll PayPal the money + shipping over if you pick it up just so I'm like, guaranteed a copy. I live in Southern California.

To anybody who might be in the position to help me, I will NOT default on this, so, help me out please :-[

I bought 'Splosion Man.  It was 400 points and I had 350 points so I had to buy another 500 points for $6.25 :(

Wanted to get it before the price went back up since everyone says it is good if you stick with it.

Is that the Beretta 92FS model?  I had one of those.  I actually just ordered a 1911 airsoft gun myself, and thinking about getting an M4 for when people start playing in the summer....

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.).

Been on something of a shopping binge lately; here is some of the more interesting stuff I've picked up.


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
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ENrKROM5L._AA280_.jpg)

These are basically Hobbit feet, except not so hairy. It's just like being barefoot except your soles are tough and protected.

I've got both those thangs, and love them. The glass is particularly good at maintaining temperature, so whisky on the rocks or whisky oyu-wari will stay equally well-kept.

The shoes are fucking boss hogg. I've had a pair since my trip to San Francisco last April and love them. Where, o where did you find a pair in Japan!?
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on February 13, 2010, 09:55:32 PM
thangs :rock

My first pair came from the US. My 2nd and 3rd came from amazon.co.jp. They even have my size.

Btw, the Classics are much nicer than the KSOs, and cheaper too. Easier to put on, more comfortable, less constraining.

I got my computer case and motherboard in the mail.  The case is bigger than I expected.

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.

Bought a wah pedal and a little practice amp so that I can finally plug my guitar in over here in Korea. It's a piece of shit 15 watter. It pretty much sounds like crap unless you cut the mids entirely, at which point it becomes acceptable considering the price. Tried it out with my phase shifter today, and I could get sounds close to Any Colour You Like. Threw the wah in there and it was quite trippy indeed. Need to test it out tomorrow with my distortion pedal, since that's what I'll use for leads. 

I also bought a glass slide. My slide skills are shit, but I'm gonna keep practicing until I can really get bluesy with 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?

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.

Shit, guess you got a shit one then.

Side note: Pink Floyd solos are the best for crazy bends. The solo in Another Brick in the Wall has a 2 1/2 step bend, I think. Of course it's on the B string, but still. I thought for sure my string would break, but it didn't.

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.

Well, the last time that I had a problem with the strings feeling way too tight, it was because my bridge was too high off the body of the guitar. I'm not an expert at fixing guitars by any means, so that might not be the problem. But there's a good chance that it is.

- 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

I'm a collection whore. I also own the Schumacher Batmans, the Matrix sequels, Ocean's 12 (I thought 13 was good), all 11 Star Trek movies, X-Men 3 AND Wolverine, The Mummy 2 & 3, Spider-Man 3, Terminator 3, and (for reasons I wouldn't even try to defend) all 6 Saw movies.

The only Criterion I really want is The Third Man. That's not to say The Seventh Seal or The 400 Blows are bad films, just not ones I plan on re-watching a lot.

That said, I'm totally buying Yojimbo when that comes out on Blu-ray next month. And the remastered Blu-ray of The African Queen.

I've got 400 Blows on Blu-ray. And Chungking.  8)

But neither of those are OOP. :smug

Your point? I don't buy things just cause they're out of print. I grew out of that impulsive nature back in college. :smug

I bought it before it was ever known it'd be OOP!

I thought The 400 Blows was pretty fantastic, but yeah, no urge to buy it. I have the Seventh Seal and Yojimbo in my Instant Queue.

I had the chance to buy The Third Man on BluRay but I didn't because I don't even own a BluRay player and I'd be at the height of my consumer distinguished mentally-challenged had I bought it.

Depending on the MKV file, you can convert it pretty easily. Also, I think the system plays MKV through WMC - it transcodes on the fly.

You pretty much need a wired, awesome connection for that.

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.

What does that site offer over other sites?

And I agree about 7.1.  We have a 7.1 now and unless buying an amazing receiver suddenly turns on an awesome feature in 7.1, it seems like a waste to me.  The difference is so small.

And I'm not sure.  Something that can easily take the 360, ps3, a standalone BR player and my HD comcast receiver.  Something that is as you said "good enough".  I want the best "good enough" i can get, ya know?  When normal people would stop noticing the difference, that's when I stop caring.

ProjectorPeople has great prices, free shipping, and amazing customer support. I mean, if you can find the same projector you want on Newegg, go for it. But I've gotten two projectors from them and been really impressed with the buying experience start-to-finish both times. They are projector focused and it's nice to buy from a company that's so focused on one specific sort of product, instead of just being one more kind of box they ship.

Dunno what your price range is, but I would covet the Panasonic 4000U ($2000).

I've been Onkyo for my last two receivers and been quite please. This is a cheapo 5.1 system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882120131&cm_re=onkyo_receiver-_-82-120-131-_-Product. Make sure to count the HDMI inputs before you buy anything. :)

Post by: Mupepe on March 01, 2010, 04:30:15 PM
Awesome.  Thanks, Patel!

I'll most likely go with ProjectorPeople then unless I find some sort of amazing deal elsewhere. 

I'm mostly wary of the receiver and speakers.  It really has been so hit and miss for me.  I've gone through about 4 receivers.  A Sony that was good.  An RCA that was crap.  A JVC that was alright.  And a samsung HTIB that blew away both the JVC and RCA and was less than half the price plus the speakers.  I thought it was the speakers when I got the RCA, but the speakers that sounded amazing on the Sony sounded like absolutely dogshit on the RCA.  The JVC came with its own speakers that are pretty damn awesome.  It wasn't a HTIB.  It was just a deal that a local electronics place was running. 

Since I've never had a projector by the way, I see on avsforum that people use all sorts of different things for the screen.  and they get all nuts about the distance and colors and shit.  Any advice on that?  I know those guys tend to be insane anyways, but I didn't know if there were some basics I should know for that.

I projected an image on a white wall for years and was totally, completely happy with it. Though when I eventually got a screen I did notice improved contrast and color definition.

I would look around avsforums.com and see what people are suggesting, I got about $30 worth of vinyl siding from Home Depot and ended up with a totally amazing screen. I don't think they sell that siding anymore, though.

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??

This is why you have a receiver with four HDMI inputs - you plug everything into the receiver and then you just get one long HDMI cable from the receiver up to the projector on the ceiling. Monoprice has good white HDMI cables, which are slightly less visible.

My projector is on top of a large shelf in the back of my room - tall enough that I don't block it when standing up. Most modern projectors have pretty short throw distances and extensive keystoning modification, so you can put them on a table, on the ceiling, on a shelf, etc. Putting them up high and "square" with the screen is still your best bet, of course.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on March 01, 2010, 04:46:10 PM
Just as an aside ... your projector is going to be BEHIND you, far away from the screen. This means that your consoles don't need to be up next to the screen - in fact, from a wiring standpoint, it probably makes more sense for them to be "in the back," by the receiver/projector. Of course, with 50 ft HDMI cables, you can do just about anything you want, but remember:

1) consoles must be very close to receiver (3-6 ft, like any normal A/V hook up)
2) receiver must be "reasonably" close to projector (i.e. you should try to keep your receiver->projector HDMI hookup under 25 feet if you can help it)
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Mupepe on March 01, 2010, 04:51:11 PM
I'll definitely be mounting the projector on the ceiling since that seems to still be the best choice.  And I'm thinking I'll put my receiver/components cabinet against the back wall below it so it shouldn't be too far.  I forgot about the receiver acting as a switch for all the HDMI cables.

Don't agree, but I bought it too, mostly to replace the DVD which my daughter played to death. Well, I have a back-up but it'll never get played once the BR arrives.

The Japanese BR is absurdly priced, but the US version has J voices and subtitles as well as English and is less than half the price. Win. I hope to Christ it doesn't have the US punky version of the theme song though :yuck

I always thought my feet were normal sized but then went to the Vibram site (where I bought those shoes or whatever one would call them) and found out they don't make a size small enough in Mens for my feet :'( So I had to do the unthinkable (should be easy to guess) but they fit snug so I can't complain.

They actually don't use the US standard shoe size system but an exact (well, non metric) in inches. The largest they offer is 12 1/4"

Business - the first is very rough around the edges, but I feel it's pretty essential to play through, as the second game has a lot of little tributes to the first game depending on your actions in it. Plus, it does a great job establishing the lore of the ME universe. Second game plays a LOT smoother though, even if a lot of the RPG and exploration elements have been drastically scaled back.

They look good and low key casual, if that's what you mean. They are real lightweight and flexible, and the whole "tactical" thing is more about pocket design than the look.

Mainly comfort and durability.  I mean, could they replace jeans for day-to-day wear, or are we talking strictly non-jeans type wearing.

very annoyed that to get the $10 off coupon on princess & the frog from disney.com you have to have a printer.  I try to do a document printer as my default printer so it just shows me the damn coupon so I can use the number at amazon, but it doesn't support that.

I don't have a printer :\

Post by: Bebpo on March 11, 2010, 01:54:46 PM

I have no idea really.

I'm thinking maybe I should just e-mail amazon customer support with a link to the coupon page and see if that's good enough for them.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Bebpo on March 11, 2010, 03:09:37 PM
Amazon wouldn't take it, they said they recognize the offer but they aren't a participating retailer in the promotion.  Which is weird because I know people got them to take the $10 off Ponyo from Disney coupon (I didn't find out about that one until too late).

Will get my brother to print the actual coupon and buy it retail next week.  Amazon just lost a sale!  booo

Except that because of that movie they changed the name of Rapunzel to "Tangled" because they thought boys wouldn't go see it.

Lasseter's next hand drawn masterpiece? The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 2 for Summer 2011.

They're so short on people who can actually draw that as soon as animators finished their work on Frog they were immediately put to work on Pooh.

I actually bought things today! First time I spent money on things other than food in probably months. (Minus V-Day)

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.

1TB G-Drive, purchased with some of the cash I got from selling my SNES and some SNES/NES games.  Still have $50 left over from that sale after buying this, plus more money coming from other sales.  Gonna use that cash to buy more RAM and a game or two for my incoming HP Mini 311.   :D

picked up Patchwork Heroes for psp for $10.  Seriously, anyone who owns a non-hacked PSP should buy this to support a $10 price point for new releases.  The game was $40-50 in Japan a month ago when it was released!  Groo & duckroll played the import and they were liking it.  $10!

I've got a solid black pair of high-tops that I bought for a friend's wedding.  I've got my old worn-out black classic low-tops and the new low-top grays.  I prefer the low-tops nowadays because they're easier to wear during the warmer months.  In the past, I've owned classic high-tops, navy high-tops, Dickies low-tops, and navy low-tops.

So I got the DVD special editions that are the exact same thing just in a DVD packaging instead of Blu Ray.  So I still got it, but in a fat ugly case instead of the sleek, sexy blue cases.  Oh well.

They're also missing some minor things from the 2005 DVD re-releases.

Snow White was like that too. The BRD was missing major extras from the DVD.

Makes no sense as the Pirates BRDs included all of the DVD extras (and there were a TON) and most other Pixar BRDs have more extras than the DVDs.

He's flat-out lying now.  Fucking disgusting.  I can't believe I ever considered this guy a friend.

I have the Gmail logs where he admits to sending me a fake tracking number and everything after I confronted him.  The guy is a liar and a thief.

Of course, now he's "done with the subject" since being done means he never has to confront the fact that he's a thief. ::)

Anyway, people will believe who they want, I can't control that.  I did like a half-dozen package exchanges on EB and was never screwed over except by Mupepe, so why would I just lie about not being paid to start drama with him?  The simple truth is he never paid me back, he's lying now, and I have the Gmail logs to prove it in case anybody cares.

I'll leave it alone now, it was just frustrating to see him boasting about spending so much money on himself when he wouldn't even come through for someone who considered him a friend.

Pretty much.

Actually, we need to fill out a bunch of forms along with a letter from her doctor and send them to Tokyo and two weeks later we find out if we can bring her prescription vicodin or not, seeing how it is considered a narcotic. We leave in less than two weeks, so we're just not going to bring it and hope that Excedrin and Advil does the trick.

He fights thugs too, but the important stuff is centered around 1-on-1 fights.  This game is supposed to be different than the typical Musou.  I don't even see Omega Force's name anywhere in the game.  It appears to have an open-world style game play element to it.  I've seen videos of Kenshiro riding a motorcycle around!  There is a story mode where you play as Kenshiro and apparently Mamiya and Rei too, then other more standard modes where you can play as the other characters...

...so I'm told.  I just finished installing it but I have to leave now.   :'(  Kenshiro is the only character you can play from the beginning.

Will post about it once I get to play.  Concerned about things moving too slowly, but fucking around in the training mode for a second, it seems okay.  Blood n' gore is intact, exloding heads abound!

Went shopping with the new Mrs G for furniture as well as some much needed household stuff.

Ended up getting a new couch, chair, coffee table, end table, and ottoman.

This is what the couch looks like:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/bzchanboy/ORE2PC-SEC_Oregon_2PieceSectional.jpg?t=1269744873)

Then we went to another furniture store and got a new tv stand
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/bzchanboy/cde4a5c161ff8b4fffa413b93735b8f9.jpg?t=1269745062)
we got this same one but in an espresso color

After that we went to Kmart and picked up
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/bzchanboy/943499_153946_front.jpg?t=1269745160)
38.72 after tax  :o Sadly its on PS3 but I plan to take it to sears to exchange for 360 version

We then later headed to Costco and finally got a monitor for the computer thats not had one for over a year. We ended up getting the Samsung P2450h it looks fucking OMG awesome with 2ms timing and freaking all my inputs i'm stoked
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/bzchanboy/P2450H_1a.jpg?t=1269745331)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/bzchanboy/41Q6PDRREML_SS500_.jpg?t=1269745531)

He's still here, we're both on his ass about getting his life together. He got a judgement from Social Security Disability and was denied his appeal. So he's got a court date with a judgement official. Then if he doesn't get his shit together after that he's out!

Should I log into it using the same PSN ID I have on PS3? Will that count against one of my five gameshare opportunities?

If I create a new ID, will I still be able to play PS3 store purchases on it?

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.

And just to add to the WDYB, I got pizza.

Oh yeah, and that thinclient thing.

I like the slope of the keyboards that HP is doing with their laptops now.  Very ergonomic.  Looks pretty nice all-in-all GDS.

The keyboard is like 92% the size of a regular one, so it feels great.  Not having any problems with the touchpad either.  It's also nice to have TWO buttons on the touchpad unlike on my MacBook.  :P

That looks pretty damn slick.

It's pretty nice and does what I want it to.  My only question right now is why I am unable to get 720P Youtube videos to play smoothly.  I know it can do them...there's videos of the netbook playing Youtube content at that resolution!  Plus I tried a 720P video of my own and it played with no issues.  It's weird.

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.

I won't actually be playing it on the mini, just using some sort of remote management software like Dameware or VNC to control the thinclient attached to the TV.  It has HDMI output, so I'm optimistic.

Using the thinclient though, I'd be able to hook up a keyboard/mouse if I really wanted to and have a computer for whatever, or just control it from the mini and still have a computer that I could do just about anything I wanted on, other than gaming.  I'd have a desktop for that.

Picked up Call Of Duty 4 and SF4 on PC through Steam.  CoD4 runs pretty damn well on low settings (it's a netbook after all), but I can't really get SF4 to play smoothly enough unless I overclock it.  I've seen videos of the game running (apparently) not overclocked and at 60FPS; no idea how they got it like that.  Then again, I can't get Youtube videos to play smoothly at 720P and I've seen videos of those running perfectly on the same PC too.

Also on order, due to a binge of "retail therapy" during the last throes of pre-submission crunchtime:
- Deadly Premonition, GOTD (http://game-of-twenty-dollars) Edition.
- Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
- Kenneth Hite's Complete Idiot's Guide to US History

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

This is kind of a provisional purchase...just need something good enough for casual listening to keep me going while I conduct a search for the next serious purchase. The market has changed a lot since I got the ER-4Ps.

(http://i.expansys.com/i/l/l145087.jpg)

Also ordered a ton of ununusual flours and baking stuff online. Getting increasingly into baking as a hobby.


Oh, I had the ER6i dealies as well. I really liked them, except (a) the sound is a little lacking in bass and (b) the membrane on the insert is really sensitive. If you get any ear sweat or moo-goo-gai-pan or whatevs down the isolation cuff's canal, it's toast and you have to get replacement parts. Also I was not fond of the acoustic foam couplings, but the silicon ones you showed are pretty good.

Post by: Cormacaroni on April 05, 2010, 01:53:42 AM
they're alright. Good for the price but nowhere near the detail or lushness of the ER-4Ps. For podcast listening on the train etc, these are all I need right now though. They're decent enough for music but I basically wanted something that I don't need to worry about breaking.

Also, they are a HELL of a lot less microphonic than the ER-4Ps. That aspect doesn't bother me at all.

edit: I paid 7,000 yen for these, shipped btw. They go for 12,000 yen-plus some places. Just in case you're considering buying again.

Akihabara was pretty underwhelming. I got a bunch of stuff at Super Potato after going around and comparing prices, and I saw some stuff I'll go back for, but things were a lot better in 2006. No deals to be had on Ryu ga Gotoku 4 or Hokuto Musou, but I really wasn't expecting to find them cheap. Any stores outside Akiba would be welcome information.

Check out that store I mentioned in Shimokitazawa, it's called Dorama.  Mostly current-gen stuff but they had some pretty good deals on PS2 games.

I'd say to check out Nakano Broadway, but there wasn't much in the game department when I went there.  Still has SHITLOADS of otaku stuff though.  All the good spots for games I know of are back in Ishikawa-ken so I can't help you there...

Would have canceled both of these, since I wanted to buy some PC games (and did so anyway), but Amazon had already shipped them when I went to check last week.  Kind of glad I got Sakura Wars now though.

I tried Paradise on PSP a week or so ago already.  It's just a stripped-down port of DOAX2, minus some of the mini games, and plus Tecmo Blacjack mascot Rio.  The volleyball game has slowdown.  :/

Also got an SF4 official Cammy artwork cloth poster from an eBay seller in HK.  The quality is pretty decent but it's clearly a bootleg...the seller has already been flagged and banned from eBay but has a couple other accounts.   :lol

Aside from games and maybe Gundam swag, Otaku stuff doesn't do much for me.

The Gundam stuff was what I was thinking about for you.  I am sure there would be at least one or two shops there selling Gundam toys and more.  When I say "otaku" I don't just mean drooling animu nerds, I mean EVERYTHING.  There was a store that only sold old movie posters and another store that sold old vinyl records.  That stuff is "otaku" too.   :)

I went out to Nipponbashi/Ota-Road today, looking to fix my iPod and price new PCs. When I found out how much it would be to repair my iPod, I stopped pricing new PCs and bought the adapter to keep my PowerBook limping along. A hunnerd bucks, give or take.  :'(
(http://imgur.com/P9Ajc.jpg)

Then I went across the street, threw out my beater Prestos and bought Free-Run-something 7.0 v2 (http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/commerce/?sitesrc=uspl_share_link&p=PDP&pid=306838&pgid=300621&cid=102201#?ll=en_US&ct=US) (wouldn't this just be called "8.0"?)

A trading card/RPG shop had moved their stuff around, so I finally poked around in their upstairs, and they had a clearance sale on English-language RPG items. They had about 8 inches or so of GURPS, which is more than my old RPG haunt in Santa Cruz had available last time I was there. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is hardback for ¥210, as was New Sun.  :-\ I made off with all the books below for 998 yen:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4496227119_5ff278b452_o.jpg)

Also picked up for a friend a Kubrick figure of Boba Fett, colored like he was in the old Droids TV show. There will likely be much stoke-age involved; he sent me a copy of Darksiders though, so I owe him.

OH! Also I made my way to A-Too on the main strip. If there are any lurking Osaka-bore around, that's THE place you want to go for import games. For the first time, I tried selling items there, and they gave me a fair price on a bunch of stuffs, including 1100 yen for Assassin's Creed 1, and 1300 yen for Alien Hominid PS2. WOOT. I picked up Prince of Persia (360) for 1400 yen, and Pirates of the Caribbean (360) for 1300.

Also had a razza-frazzin' PERFECT bowl of ramen at Ippuu-dou. OMG. So good.

Yeah, 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. :-\

Really though, the core rules are pretty simple. I played GURPS from 2nd through 3rd editions, and collected Pyramid when it was a coverless leaflet, and later a print magazine, and even pay-subscribed for a couple years when it went digital. Even that's defunct now, I hear. I picked up the single 4th edition rulebook when I was last in Santa Cruz, but it turned out to be the campaign/worldbuilding book, not the character one. :fml

Anyway, the goodies I bought are all 3rd, and I've apparently still rather foolishly got a portion of long-term memory devoted to keeping that memorized. I feel like I've been repeatedly struck by the nostalgia hammer.

I think it may just suffer from all the digital post-processing he did on the films in the first place. If you were happy with the fuzziness of the intro scenes in the theater, say, you might not mind it at all in the BR. I remember reading something from the folks who mastered the original DVDs - they hated all the digital grading stuff. But it was Jackson's choice at the time, and I think most of it works well as a storytelling device. Not every frame has to be a crystal-clear reference quality photograph for me to enjoy the movie. Still, there is no legit artistic reason for edge enhancement and compression artifacts....

Jackson was hinting that the EEs may not come out on BRD for a long time AND HE IS NOT INVOLVED AT ALL. The EEs were done by a special team at New Line that he worked with. When Warner took over New Line that team is gone, as is Jacksons involvement. The BRDs are being done by Warner now.

Next year is the 10th anniversary of Fellowship, so yea. But Warner releases their DVD/BRDs like marketing things. The Watchmen Complete BRD was a LIMITED EDITION. Can you imagine them doing the EEs and only printing 500k copies to drum up demand?

Or how about an $80 boxed set for each movie like the Oz and Gone With the Wind BRDs?  The non-$80 versions of those movies were extremely limited and were bare bones.

The only studio worse than Warner when it comes to BRD is FOX. 

And people spreading rumors of an EE release next year to cash in on The Hobbit forget that The Hobbit has not yet been greenlit officially because MGM is flat broke. Yea they hope to start filming in July, but until MGM gets money it won't happen.

going a bit overboard for the misses birthday for next week.

She and I have both been wanting to get a better digital camera. Instead of getting a big DSLR for her that I know she wont use I ended up getting something a bit different.

For her a Canon SD3500IS which has an awesome touchscreen on the back.
(http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/9806/9806468_sa.jpg)
For me I got the Canon S90 its a step up from her's in specs and performance without all that touchscreen nonsense.
(http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/9491/9491917cv1a.jpg)
And then with the left over money I had for a DSLR I got this printer which we kind of need. Its the HP Touchsmart Premium, its pretty awesome for a printer.
(http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/9459/9459212_ra.jpg)

Got this all for under $900 bucks at Bestbuy. But now I'm in desperate need of some memory for our cameras. Looks like its time to go to Costco tomorrow.

To go along with this gift were gonna take a few days and go visit Northern California/Oregon. I've found some nice bed and breakfasts' that we'll be visiting along the way.

Giving up my dream of owning a DSLR so that the misses gets something she wants priceless :)

Got a Sony Reader Touch

Loving ebook living. Just downloaded a bunch of public domain Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Transferring school PDFs over is easy, but reading the PDFs is a pain. Trying a conversion program called Stanza to make the PDFs into easier to read stuff, but since many are just scanned image PDFs of pages they are still troublesome. Gonna plop a few mp3s on a SD card and take it out for an outdoor spin today.

Yeah, they're pretty nice outside of the glare issue. I haven't taken mine outside yet, so I can't say if it's as bad as some folks are saying. There are some anti-glare touchscreen covers out there, but I haven't bothered with them yet.

You should just buy used, G. DSLRs are rugged (even the entry level ones) when compared to Point and Shoots. You can get a Canon 350D for like $300 (on www.keh.com or eBay). You can even get the second tier (pro-sumer) level shit used for like $600 (Canon 40D goes for this much, used. Its brother goes for $999 New now).

I haven't played Extreme Stage/Stage 4 but Stage 2/3, the PSP and PS2 games, all had very loose controls on purpose.  If you want it to handle a bit more like a regular racing game, pick a 4WD or FF car like the skyline (assuming it is in that version) that have more grip but most of the cars are FR and better for drifting.  Controls seem more loose than they actually are because of the camera.  I mean, one way to drift around a corner to is turn a bit in the opposite direction of the turn, then towards it to make the rear of the car slide more.  The camera tries to let you always have a good view of what is going on despite pulling off maneuvers like that.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: chronovore on April 16, 2010, 01:10:03 PM
That's backward, isn't it? You want to turn sharply into the turn, bringing the nose of the car to the inside, then countersteer so your front wheels are pointing in the direction of forward momentum as your car slides sideways. No?
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: cool breeze on April 16, 2010, 01:24:49 PM
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.

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.

That's what happened to me.

Got this because I never got around to picking it up and I looooove Demon Souls which is the same team.  I liked AC4 but never finished it so didn't pick this up at release.

After finishing Red Faction Guerilla & Just Cause 2 in the last couple of months and enjoying both quite a bit, $20 for a sandbox Paris game where you can climb the Eiffel Tower sounded good.


Though since it's almost law school finals time, it's probably time to buckle down and quit gaming for a month until finals are over.  Will put these aside along with future goodies coming out in the next 2-3 weeks and enjoy them all after finals.

Yeah, AC has no slowdown on X360 and slight slowdown on PS3.  But I'm used to playing AC on the dual shock since PS1 days and the only 2 people I know who own the game have it on ps3 (for online co-op).

There was so much stuff I wanted to get on Record Store Day, but the closest place having an event was an hour away, and the only band I wanted to see played at 1PM.  Way too early for me to get up.  And I had no one to go with.   :-\  But it's all good.  A friend sent me a link for something awesome, and it is now on it's way to my mailbox.

I don't even have one virtual console game but that controller was too sexy to resist, plus it's only $20.  I just love well-made controllers.  The new slim SF4 TE stick was in stock as well and I almost picked it up.   I had to remind myself that I already have a TE stick that I suck with. 

Not sure about the LOTR Blu-rays though.  Normally, I wouldn't have picked up this set unless it's at least $50 but this limited edition was the only one left.  I'm just not sure if I need a letter-opening sword.

I'm wondering how you'll feel about the purchase in 3 or 4 years. Will it be in the living room in a place of respect, or hidden in a closet? Or eBay'd before then...?

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.

Regardless of how much longer I get to enjoy Lady GaGa, her first two albums have made quite an impression on me already, and I'd never feel inclined to hide it away or even THINK of selling it. On top of that, I love collector's editions and display them prominently no matter what.

The only other album I've bought a collector's edition of was Born To Run.

Madonna is really good at keeping up with EDM trends and teaming up with good producers (Shep Pettibone, William Orbit, Mirwais, Stuart Price). That's allowed her to stay relevant after all these years. Hell I was dropping an Axwell mix of "Jump" in my sets a lot back in '07.

I'm having a tough time deciding what I want to buy right now. Super SF4 TE stick, or preorder the CE of Starcraft 2. Both have similar risks. I'm not sure if I'll enjoy SC2 (but if I happen to, the CE is the edition I want), and I'm not sure if moving to an arcade stick is going to help me enjoy SF4 anymore (although it will certainly help me enjoy Marvel much more).

One is $100, the other $150. What to do.

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.

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.

Thanks, I hope so. I still want the SC2 CE since I love Blizzard's CEs, but the reason I was on the fence about it is that I'm not sure I'll even like Starcraft. I never played the original and I've only seen my friend play the beta.

I couldn't play Starcraft for the longest time because it isn't compatible with Win7 but I looked around the interbutt and found a fix, so now I should get a good intro to the series before I splurge 100 bucks on one game.

I got pissed off at wishing I had a working iPod Touch, so instead of trying to figure out how to immediately use my 32GB with broken headphone jack, I just bought a new 64GB Touch. With AppleCare this time, so I'm safe on repairs for the next 24 months.

Also picked up the wireless Magic Mouse with the full tactile surface. So far it /almost/ makes up for how crappy Mighty Mouse is.

Found a copy of GTA Trilogy (III, Vice City, San Andreas) for original Xbox for 39USD. Last month I could only find it for 80 bucks, so that's en route, along with the 5-disc Blade Runner set on Blu-Ray.

I'm getting the beginnings of an RSI from too much time on tiny keyboards at work, so I bought a Microsoft Ergonomic Natural Keyboard. So far it is helping.

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

lol I have the PS2 version of that.  It was a smash bros game where konami characters fought against a toy company.  I remember it having someone from Bloody Roar.  If you don't remember bloody roar, it was that super shallow fighting game where you could transform into animals.  Bloody Roar 2 was awesome.

and yeah, the gamecube freeloader is good.  no modding required.

Among my few purchases over the past couple of weeks, these are my favorites.  A University of Kentucky tissue box cover (fuck you, I went hillbilly for a couple of minutes), a texas toothpick pocket knife (the same kind my grandfather used to carry), and the children's book Lady in the Water by M. Night Shyamalan.  I had seen the movie, but always wanted the book.

I saw a used copy of that game at a little game shop near my hotel. They wanted 3,200 yen for it, which is pretty standard based on what I saw it going for other places. If it was dirt cheap, I would've picked it up.

Those are actually from yesterday.  Wallet am cry.  I'm gonna try to not contribute to this thread for at least a couple of months. 

I had to buy different brands because those things are selling like hotcakes.  The economy is supposedly bad yet PC enthusiasts seem to be more spending more money than ever.  It's like every member of a PC forums is getting at least two 480 GTX or three 470 GTX.

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.

Yeah, 4 of them in a Raid-0 config.  It was amazingly fast for stuff like video-editing.

You should be fine with the 280 or 295.  They're only about 1.5 inches longer.  The 5870 is a bit longer though.  

My recommendation is the 295 if it's within your budget.  Outside of maybe 5 games, it'll deliver 60fps with max settings at 1080P, 4XAA.

It's $500 new for the 295.  I'm asking for $400 with shipping included.  Also, I'll try to get you a brand new card from BFG.  I think they came up with some PCB revision that's a bit cooler.

I wish I could buy one of them off you Smoothe, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass. I should start saving now though, if I want to upgrade my card sometime this year. My machine was pre-built, so I had no idea they cost that much

Thermostat was going all crazy, it wasn't regulating the temperature and would just go to maximum heat and shut itself off. It's just a temporary fix, I'm guessing, so we're still gonna have to get a new water heater at some point in the future. I'd love to switch to gas and get a tank-less setup, but that's probably going to cost around $2,000. We're already looking to spend $25,000 this summer on the basement renovation, so a $300 water heater will be the likely choice.

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.

There's TONS of constant story/cutscenes/codecs & lots of gameplay.

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.

yeah, im not too interested in getting budget handguns, id rather keep paying for ammo and go shooting with my cousin like i am right now, and be able to shoot out of glocks and sigs, no offense, of course, really

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.

I picked up a bunch of nerdy shit the past week but it's all packed away.  Most of the stuff I got from the huge recycle shop I used to frequent in Kanazawa, but I found a few things at Akihabara yesterday.  They also had a new Gundam Cafe which had a MASSIVE LINE to get into.

I got:

-Super Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition (J360)
-Super Street Fighter IV Players' Guide (Japanese)
-Arcadia Magazine 7/10 (Focusing on...wait for it...SSFIV)
-Hori Fighting Commander 3 Pad (JPS3)
-Ikkitousen Xross Impact LE Box (JPSP)
-No More Heroes (J360)
-Onimusha 1 (JPS2)
-SSX3 (JPS2)
-Rally Shox (JPS2)
-Chu-Chu Rocket (JGBA)
-Some nerdy/perverse animu mini-posters
-Some figures
-Super Street Fighter IV (PS3)

I wanted the Japanese SSFIV for PS3, but since I have all the alternate costumes for the U.S. version, I ended up just ordering it from Amazon.  It's cheaper that way anyway.

Ikkitousen seems to be pretty improved over the original.  The normal enemies are still pretty stupid, but there's better variety and more stronger/smarter AI types that pop up.  The difficulty in arcade mode (at least starting out) is pretty easy, but the story mode gets more difficult as you go, especially when you are stuck with a character that kinda sucks.  They changed up the game play a bit and made it play even more like a side-scrolling Musou game; the combo system is exactly the same and you get more combos/moves as you level up.  You now have two characters playable on each level and can tag in and out, including during combos.

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.

There's TONS of constant story/cutscenes/codecs & lots of gameplay.

I'm almost tempted to play the J-version since the cutscenes have comic balloons in English, but will still probably wait.  MGS is one series where I prefer the American VAs.

Of course I noticed it.  That's half of the beauty to me.  I love my current 1911, which has wooden grips.  If I wanted to replace them, I'm sure it's FAR from hard to do, just order a new set, take out a couple of screws, and voila.  But I love the feel of them, and I love the look of it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the rubberized grips as well.  But I like wooden better on my 1911.  I did get a Hogue pistol grip for my shotty though.

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.

what the hell kind of fuel pump did they buy?  An OEM pump for that car is only $200.  And yeah, I always forget about labor.  When I realized how much labor was part of the equation with car work, I did everything myself.

The thing is, is that they are right around the corner from my house. I'm trying to give business to what is essentially a guy and his wife running a garage. He has no issues with me buying my own brakes and rotors for him to put on and I think I'll trust him on the other stuff. They have been very honest with me in the past. This has been my most expensive repair there in 5 years so I'm not thinking he is trying to rip me off.

That's cool.  Maybe he got something that he deemed better than OEM.  The OEM water pump on my Corvette is crap and apparently dies about ever 20k miles.  So when mine died at 21k miles I decided to spend the extra change on a better aftermarket one.  Well worth it sometimes. 

I just know most garages are fucking evil.  It's always good when you can find one that's honest.

My mom got tricked by a dealership once into installing a "second radiator."  When she told me that I said what the fuck, mom!  I looked over every inch of her car and there wasn't shit there.  They took her for a fucking ride.

Yeah, it comes with the boob mousepad and the animu girl pillowcase. They are hyping the game up as some super naughty H game experience, but it's really rated T and is relatively tame in content.

I traded 2 games I don't play for 2/3 off the price + the extra 10% from my friend's edge card added another $4.50. If I didn't get the edge card, my total was only $12 left to pay.

Was searching for replacement headphones and after some research and talk with audiophiles I went with the Audio Technica m50s.  Quiet to people on the outside, great sound and reasonably comfortable though I gotta break 'em in to loosen them up.

Post by: Smooth Groove on May 20, 2010, 03:45:42 PM
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.

Post by: Bebpo on May 20, 2010, 05:13:18 PM
I've tried in-ear and always found them uncomfortable like I find earplugs uncomfortable.  I just don't like sticking things in my ears :\  I prefer full-sized closed headphones because I want to block out noises around me to some degree and I don't want to bug people around me by having the sound leak outside the phones.  If I didn't care about the solitude/leakage I could've gotten better sounding headphones if I went for full-sized open headphones as apparently they are the best sound you can get.  But they're basically like wearing speakers on your head and I'm not down with that when I'm on a train or in a public building.

Not all full-sized headphones need to be amped.  That was actually a big criteria in my search for a good pair.  I wanted to get one that is low enough in power usage that you don't need an amp, which is what the M50s are.  Otherwise I would have gone with the Beyerdynamic 770/80ohm which are beautiful and supposedly sound amazing but they need to be amped to get good sound.

Which Westones? Been dying to try some of those. I love both the in-ear and full-sized 'phone experience :)

I got this the other day, in preparation for the Coming of the iPad (wifi, 32GB, preordered, and about 10 days away!). Pocket Wifi, plus a 2yr sub. I decided against the 3G iPad 'cause why pay for yet another data plan? With this, we can also use our notebooks, as well as my iPhone, DS, PSP etc anywhere in Japan (in theory). It supports multiple devices at once as well, which is important as my wife has an online business and needs to be connected all the time. In fact, it's fast enough that I could even ditch my home broadband (where it not $10/mo for 100mb/s :lol). I'm beginning to wonder if we even need a landline and cell phone plan anymore.

I've had several of these, and only one left. They're fragile as hell, but it's exacerbated by using a dishwashing machine. I think the high/low heat change messes with the partial vacuum.

You should try Bonmac filters if you use a Chemex. Less paper means better coffee taste without any extra hassle.  I use them in a Hario V60 drip cone filter for the best tasting coffee outside of French Press which is an extra hassle.

I'm a semi-fan of dothack.  :-[

dothack is actually one of the most beutiful concepts ever. shame it was handled the way it was. if it would have shipped as one game by a more competant dev, it would have been a classic.

a faux mmo with a story connecting toons and their RL counterparts, BBS's and email/im's, fantastic music...arg, it's almost making me wanna give it another go. it would be so fantastic to get a remake/condensed rev of this game on PSP or the new round of handhelds.

it's really hard to give it a blanket reccomendation though, as it was archaic when it shipped. it is clever, ambitious, and also a total scam.  :lol

very love it or hate it game.

You'd be surprised at how many people enjoyed the first .hack game series.  I know many forum goers (myself included) & even credible game journalists who were fans.  The story was interesting in that mysterious way, the worldview of an MMORPG gone wrong was fascinating, the music was quite good and the gameplay was addicting and fun.  Art wasn't bad either.  It had problems and the gameplay was repetitive, but it was a cool experience to go through.  The whole multimedia storytelling idea of games+ovas+anime to tell one big story was fairly cool and almost a precursor to the ARGs and this type of game/anime/manga pairing you get these days.

The 2nd series was very nice graphically, and it wasn't a huge step down from the original, but it was basically the same sort of thing as series one but without the fresh "this hasn't been done before" feeling and so it feels a lot weaker.  The plot also wasn't as good, although it wasn't terrible either.

I played through both and enjoyed both, though I wouldn't recommend either to most people since I don't think they hold up (they were C-gameplay to begin with 5-8 years ago, I shudder to think how they hold up now) and the whole multi-game format means you have to put it the effort to get anything out of it.


I'd love for CyberConnect2 to give it another run on PS3/X360 hardware instead of NARUTO/NARUTO/NARUTO
But I don't think Namco feels there is enough money potential to give budget for a full length new .hack franchise.

My only problem with it honestly was the dates were weird. It's set in 1891, which is the start of the Great Haitus, yet Watson isn't married yet (that was 1887). But setting the movies during the Great Haitus is awesome since it does free them up a lot. It's be cool to do one movie for each year of the Haitus and have the fourth movie be based on the Final Problem.

I never played the GU series or got into that anime.  Kinda reminded me of Pokemon or Digimon or something where I kinda lost track of things as they expanded past the original.  Was Balmung even in the GU games? Balmung :bow2

I don't think so.  IIRC there weren't any recurring characters, GU was all original cast.  If you liked the original I'd say GU might be worth a shot, but it's just as repetitive as the first one and the combat is better or worse depending on who you ask.

As for me, I picked up these, both on sale:

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.

aren't the black levels in 2010 models broken?

here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10437896-1.html

I was well aware of this.  Seems like all (currently produced :-[) HDTVs are significantly broken in some regard.  Even if the blacks rise to where they end up in last years g-series (which were also broken), they're still better (based on my own eyeball, side-by-side with store units) than what I'd whittled down to being my second choice: a sony bravia ex700 led.  The panasonics meet my needs in way more regards than they fail them.

Well, he said he wanted the game as SOON as possible, which is why I shop at those stores.

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)


Remember: Amazon Prime is the new hotness, dude. Free shipping, same-day delivery if you time it right. They have 2nd-hand games cheap via the marketplace too.

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. 

Which Westones? Been dying to try some of those. I love both the in-ear and full-sized 'phone experience :)

Oops, didn't see your question until today but I'll answer it now. 

The Westone 3 Limited Edition.  LE supposedly has lower tolerance than the regular 3s because the parts are hand-picked.  However, it's probably quite hard to hear the difference in real world situations.  So unless you really want the special T-shirt, paper weight and an unique serial # etched into the phones, you might not want to spend that extra $150. 

The main advantage that the Westone 3 has over the Shure E530s is that the soundstage is much larger and cohesive.  With the 530s, sound always seems to be split from one side to the other.  Other than that, they're quite similar as both are quite close to being neutral and are very easy to drive.  I really like how I hardly have to go above 50% volume on portable devices with both pairs because that allows me to go much longer without charging. 

You might also want to check out the Westone um3x.  Some actually prefer it the Westone 3 because it's supposedly more clinical and accurate.

Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Smooth Groove on June 02, 2010, 12:18:49 AM
Not very microphonic at all.  The only possibly microphonic artifact that I get is the sound of my pulse but that could just be due to me putting in the tips too deep.

In terms of electronic noise, the Westones seem to be better as humming that I get with the Shure 530s on some players is noticeably reduced in the Westones. 
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on June 02, 2010, 01:20:10 AM
Sounds great. I'm getting by with these placeholder Etymotics ER6-is. They sound good enough in most environments. It's only when I really settle in to listen to music and relax that I miss the ER-4Ps. They were utterly wasted on casual podcast listening etc...I should really have used a cheapo back-up pair for all that stuff rather than putting all that wear-and-tear on good phones.

Luckily I still have my Senn HD600s at home :)

Pulled out of the driveway, and heard the sound of metal grinding on pavement.  The spare was flat too.   :lol

So we went down to Costco and bought four new tires.  Got new hubcaps on eBay, too.  So now this old '90 Accord will look a little less shitty.  :hyper

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 have been a few times I've wished I did a JP user account and xbox. The Midnight Club Asia version was crazy cheap compared to the US version. For a long while. Banjo Kazooie N&B, too.  :(

Remember: Amazon Prime is the new hotness, dude. Free shipping, same-day delivery if you time it right. They have 2nd-hand games cheap via the marketplace too.
Wait, what? Amazon.co.jp has foreign games? HOLY SHIT.
There's the Asia version on Amazon.co.jp, for less than I bought at PA. :fml
Cormacaroni, you need to tell me these life-tips earlier, homefries.

Great game. Scenester and I are still playing that, though Strong Arm is the only worthwhile multiplayer. Deathmatch is sucky like a vacuum.

Chrono - yeah well, this is a new development. Only discovered it a few weeks back myself. Also check out the 2nd hand stuff! I don't have a decent game store nearby so it's very handy to be able to just browse the marketplace.

I got Peace Walker with the $20 credit Amazon gave out for buying Mario Galaxy 2 from them, so Peace Walker cost me $19.99 with free release day shipping.  And then Amazon gave me another $10 credit for ordering the game from them, which I applied to Crackdown 2, which I'll be getting with free release day delivery for $45.  Amazon is just too fucking good.  Gamestop, LOL.

Also picked up 1600 Microsoft Points which will be used for NeoGeo Battle Coliseum XBLA and Earthworm Jim HD XBLA tomorrow.

That's a super-sweet collection, Bebpo! I own all the US-released games but just the standard editions of them all. Makes me feel inadequate.

I bought this for $5 the other day. Don't know when I'll get around to reading it, but I looooooooooooved Snow Crash, so who knows?

Yep :)  MGS is one the series where if I see some cool related merchandise I'll pick it up as long as the price is not crazy.  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 >_<)

I don't really have any room right now for posters/wall scrolls, but I could definitely use it when I get a new place and make my MGS display.  I'll paypal you a couple bucks for shipping if you want.

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. :(

Man...Japanese PC prices.   :-\  I think my netbook cost less and is faster/has a much better gpu.

When I got a MacBook over there it cost a good 20,000+ more than the same model in the States, too.

MANGA (and some normal books), apps (I want to fuck around with music stuff), TV shows (maybe I'll watch some "good" anime, but on the real I hate anime too much to watch it on my iPad), newspapers, etc. When multitasking comes out I'll probably use it for AIM, etc. too.

Please give me tips on how to maximize my iPad enjoyment!

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.

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!

Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Bildi on June 22, 2010, 03:54:00 AM
100W of unadulterated, useless power!  The store was selling off all H&K gear and this was the very last amp.  I would have liked the more portable 50W 1x12 but eh.

It's touchy but works pretty well at low volumes.  I'll probably get a power soak for it.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on June 22, 2010, 03:55:35 AM
Fucking hell, I bet you never put it past 2! I'd have picked it up myself at that kind of price though, even knowing that you'll never be able to crank it up and really see what it can do though. Never had a bigger amp than 50W myself, and even that was pretty scary.

Yes.

Damn near everything supports file transfers via iTunes now, but it's a pain in the ass. Even though the transfers themselves are speedy, every time I boot up iTunes, I now I'm going to be sitting there like a mong for at least 10 minutes. The useful thing about Dropbox is that you can just put your content in there when convenient to you (when you happen to be on your computer), then download it to your iPhone/iPad whenever you feel like consuming it. It might take longer to download over the internets but i find myself using it all the time to dl some new stuff to consume on the train home, for example. The one drawback is that a free account only gets you 2GB of space. But hey, it's free, and you get the additional benefit of also having that content available just about anywhere since you can access it via any PC with Dropbox installed, or indeed anything with a web browser installed.

After reading:

Quote
'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

Basically it's like the Apple bumper, but has a clear backside to protect the back of the phone from scratches/bumps.  It's pretty thin material and keeps the form factor nicely.

It's not bad and I'm having a good time with it, it's just that it's pretty much a PSP game that has been apparently retrofitted to the Xbox 360 and turned into an MMO. That said, it's basically what I expected, except ALL JAPANESE EVERYTHING. Having a good time though and I feel like once I get into the groove I got into with the PSP one I played it'll be win.

For now I'm just playing Persona 3 before I sleep because I don't have time for anything else.

Third time I have purchased Ocean's Eleven...have it on DVD and UMD too.  Popped the DVD in the other day and it was skipping like crazy.  I found some scratches on the disc I don't remember being there, so blu-ray replacement-upgrade time.

And I'm a Kevin Smith fanboy, so I got Cop Out, which is one of those ridiculous BD/DVD/digital copy combo packs.  It was cheap though so whatever.

Vitamix 5200

$400 seems a bit much for a blender but it's really not considering that I spend at least $10 a week on smoothies.  This thing is a monster.  I stuffed it with 1/2 gallon of frozen fruits and it just chopped everything up in 30 secs.  My previous Kitchen Aid & Hamilton Beach blenders couldn't even handle half that load.

How are they so far?  I've been told you can get a starter kit for as low as $50.  I'm gonna try to quit again, but this time I can't afford the Chantix.  However, the health department here is offering a free quit-smoking program that gives you the patches.  I've heard that some people are also using the e-cigs because they take away the mind's need to hold one and "smoke" it.

First DVD I've bought this year.

good movie.

I think the first movie 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.

It's the entire trilogy, actually. That's a cardboard slipcover that envelops the three DVDs.

Just bought a 500gb Hybrid 2.5" Seagate Momentus XT drive for my lappy :bow2 This thing sounds amazing, according to this (http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/seagate_momentus_xt_500gb/4.htm) and CNets review its a near match to SSDs with general tasks as it uses 4gb of onboard NAND flash memory and an 'adaptive memory' algorithm to que your most used fiiles so you access them super quick, best thing is the algorithm is embedded no drivers needed hence it'll work just as well if your OS doesn't support TRIM. Cost me $200 ~5th of the price of a 256gb SSD.

When are you going?

I sense an opportunity to ease your pain  :-*
FWIW, we'll be there tomorrow and the next day. But I don't get it. What do you mean?

Maybe Cormac thought you were talking about going to Tokyo Disneyland?

It's possible... :lol

Other purchases:
Velvet Assassin: Morphine-assisted Nazi Killing Simulator - 9 bucks used at PNT.
Band Hero: Pop Claptrap - I am a singin' fool. This supports four singers at a time. 30 bucks new at Walmart.
Le Saboteur - WHAT WAS I THINKING? So many ignored warnings. 19 bucks, new at Walmart.

Going to try and find REAL game stores in d/t Tampa today.

A taste of my recent Amazon comics splurging.

Absolute Planetary Vol. 1

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41P9arZnUZL._SS500_.jpg)

Absolute Planetary Vol. 2

(http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YY4dIGbUL._SS500_.jpg)

Seven Soldiers of Victory: v. 1  Hardcover (vol 1 of the new 2 vol. edition)

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/5186WmxLTsL._SS500_.jpg)

Batman & Robin Vol 1 Deluxe HC

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WJEqdjofL._SS500_.jpg)

Batwoman: Elegy Deluxe Hardcover, J.H. Williams art oh my gawdddddd

(http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BmNGkPh7L._SS500_.jpg)

Also got the Grant Morrison JLA Deluxe hardcovers (vols 1-4), Batman R.I.P., Batman and Son TPBs and the two New X-Men Ultimate Collections I was missing. And pre-ordered a whole bunch more shit like G-Mo's Return of Bruce Wayne, Seven Soldiers vol. 2, Batman and Robin vol 2 hardcovers etc. One click orders and comics are a very very dangerous combo with me.

I want the Absolute V for Vendetta and Absolute Ronin so fucking BAD it hurts but I think i'm gonna have to wait another month or two!

More crap:

WET 15 bucks. Or maybe it was 9.
Bionic Commando, which so many people seem to love or hate. 9 bucks.
Leisure Suit Larry: Not Sure What I Was Thinking, Since There Won't Even Be Any Tits Edition. 9 bucks
Battle of the Bands (Wii) 19 bucks. I like mashups, and this was a friend's project, so....

All got 50 bucks worth of MS points, as a present from my mom-in-law. Nice! They're difficult to come by in Japan.

Oh, forgot this was for non-game items. Thanks, Sho Nuff - time to toss up my DVD purchases:
Leverage Season 1 and Season 2, 30USD each
Six Feet Under Season 1, 15USD;I remember this came out originally at 120USD, didn't it?

Also hit one more gamestop, this one had inFamous greatest hits version for 30USD. I loved the demo. They didn't have any new copies on the shelf, only used ones for 27USD. I paid the extra 3 so Sony and Suckerpunch actually see some of my money. Also got a Joo-Li (yyik: Juri) six button SSF4 fight pad for 40.

i dunno what that is

i get most of my stuff from newsgroups

70% of it is in order in neat little folders, the rest is in a bunch of "sort1, sort2, etc" folders

if you are looking for anything let me know, i would be glad to send it to you via dropbox, or i could try that direct connect thing if you'll post a link

this thing is slick, superior to that craptablet in every way hardware-wise, but it was so easy just to drag and drop onto the sd card on the android

comiczeal is the first thing i bought off the app store :lol  i love the ipod version

Got $197 in Amazon credit yesterday, used it to buy this monitor.  HP 2310m 23".

Games look so damn good on it...colors just pop off the screen!  :hyper

Would like to update this post to "WDYR" for "What did you return?"  This monitor.  Giving me severe eyestrain.  Going back to ASUS!

Got myself an iPad. Very smooth experience. Transfered a bunch of my photos, music, vids, books, apps, etc. It's all so smooth and works so well within the Apple ecology (iPhoto).
Now I can finally advance my smugness to the next level. :smug

Nope. Broke up with my ex in early February, but I've been with my current girlfriend for six months now.

You have to ask yourself if it is worth the SOUL DAMAGE of Akiba, dealing with the desperate reek of wannabe idol girls posing in the street, or the even more desperate and reeky fat fanboys who are ogling them from the sidelines, waves of greasy sweat body odor emanating from them, because they eat McD's or Yoshinoya but have no idea about deodorant.

...Plus, hey, you can always get hit by a car driven by some shunned GunPla madman getting his hate on.

Carpet is fucking ridiculous if you want something nice.  I paid $500 for two rooms with the shittiest padding underneath and some moderately priced carpet (INSTALLATION WAS FUCKING FREE!).  TWO SMALL FUCKING ROOMS.  I was going to do it myself to try to save money until I looked at prices elsewhere and realized it was close to the same and I'd be paying for installation or working my ass off so fuck it.

I called Gamestop in Florida to let them know they gave me the wrong disc. They confirmed against their local inventory, and will send it to me when they've figured out how to get reimbursed from corporate for shipping overseas. Jesus. Just spent $2 bucks out of pocket to make up for your personal error. Anyway, it may eventually work out, I'm going to ride them until they actually send it.

bought an apple ipad case

i almost skipped it since reviews were mediocre, but van cruncheon said it was pretty good

most of the other cases i was checking out were too bulky, making the ipad as thick as a coffee table book sort of defeats the purpose

i like that it's thin, and the material gives it a nice grip when holding it in portrait mode - way overpriced, but name something apple makes that isn't

most people complained about the sealed edges hurting their hands, but after holding it myself i have to wonder what kind of diabetic baby skin these people have - since i have Real Man Hands™ with callouses and such, feels fine to me

no clasp of any kind is kind of weak, but i'll probably just get a piece of elastic strap at the craft store and make a loop for it

with the cover on it fits perfectly inside my spare netbook sleeve now, so i guess i'm pretty well covered for drops of two feet or less

Demi owed me some money from a previous interweb-BJ i gave him , i used that cash to purchase a (bargain) Like New copy of Futurama PS2.

Finally accepted that it was time to buy the English version of Rule of Rose PS2 too.

I've been filling out the last of my "missing" Ps2 titles and i'm pretty much done with US Gregory Horror Show and Sega Gems Collection being pretty much the last of what i want to get.

I guess i should pick up Trizeal, Cho Aniki and Triggerheart E. but just can't bring myself to pay $30 a pop.

Final PS2 total is going to be pretty close to 500 :/

Yeah, you got me beat by about 200 titles :P

New PC/console gaming monitor, take two!  ASUS MS238H 23" LED-backlit LCD monitor.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41spB5MjxfL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31qmUJdd0dL._AA300_.jpg)

Ultra-thin and light, with the same great picture my ASUS VK266H has, only at 1920x1080 and whites seem to be brighter in comparison.  It's pretty sleek-looking and looks less like a typical PC monitor and more like an HDTV.  Has sensor panel buttons which light up when you touch them.  Looks cool, but they aren't as responsive as regular ol' buttons.

:bow ASUS :bow2

I've got at least 200 PS2 games... can't imagine 500.

I've downsized my collection in the past few months (took a ton of old J-games to Japan to dump when I was there a few months ago, and recently sold off some more American PS2, Game Cube, and O.G. Xbox games).  Kinda over the collector thing now, but I still have a fairly large collection.

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.

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.

LKV7000 / PSP full screen thing / this:
(http://i33.tinypic.com/2rc4n5z.jpg)

I think I was looking around for a way to play my PSP on my computer monitor and I found this thing.  It was $50 and includes all the cables needed, the nicest being a long component cable (compared to the short official sony one).  I got it because it lets me play PSP games full screen on my TV, but from what I understand it also upscales the picture similar to how the PS3 does to PS2 games (or did); you set the output resolution and it goes up to 1440x900.  Whatever the case, it doesn't look that bad considering, though it is still blurry and all that.  It is a nice solution to playing PSP games on your TV with it being in a tiny box or the aspect ratio messed up.  The only problem is that it crops a tiny bit off the bottom and top of the picture (a tiny amount) and if you have 16:10 monitor it doesn't force a 16:9 aspect ratio with black bar.  Probably also has minor one or two frame input lag like the PS3 but I can't really notice.

Apparently there is a more expensive one that's HDMI and supports the PSP Go.

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. Didn't know they offered those.

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.

For me to buy a localized rpg is a very rare thing.  But I feel like I gotta support the idea of bringing Ys to the US so people don't have to wait for fan translations anymore.  Ys is good stuff.

I bought it when it originally came out and it was subsequently stolen from my dorm room. I've been wanting to finish it ever since, and it was only like 2000 yen. Also I plan on scooping up Reach, so it's the perfect way to prepare.

i'm looking to get one of those. how much did you dish out?

I got it at Officemax for $69.99.  Forgot to look for coupons; probably could have gotten another $10 off.

Also before I went to Officemax, I stopped at Office Depot.  Nobody was in the store.  Nobody was at the registers.  I find the drive ($59.99 there), grab the ticket, and go find someone.  There's two girls yapping about some shit they got into with the manager, and a dude just standing there listening.  The guy radios for someone to bring the drive and then gives me the most pathetic speech about why I need to pay extra for an extended warranty.  I am sent over to another register and with one of the girls (who is now yelling back to the other girl on the other side of the store, continuing the conversation) and am then told they don't have the HDD in stock.  Uh...? 

"Well, there's another Seagate just like this one for Macs you guys have.  It's the same thing.  Just give me that."  I get a blank stare from the guy, so I take him back to the HDD section and point it out to him.  Like the other drive, there's tickets for it.  He radios and tells me "nope we ain't got that one 'neither mayne.  But how 'bout this Verbatim?  Same thing, 'bout the same price."  I tell him I'm not sure since I want that specific drive for what I'm going to use it with.  "You ain't doing any software cracking, are you??" he asks me.   :lol  I left the store with him still trying to get me to buy it.

Officemax had people at the registers (and there were people there, buying stuff!  :o) and I picked up the HDD within minutes of walking into the store.

I was disappointed in RONIN when it came out. On the other hand, Elektra Lives was probably the best resurrection story in comics. Too bad they blew it with her afterward.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on August 31, 2010, 11:48:45 AM
You need to give Ronin a re-read, then. I've probably read it upwards of ten times and it gets better and better. The more familiar you are with its antecedents, the better it gets. It was absolutely shocking to me when it first appeared - there was nothing else like it outside of French and Japanese comics.

PS3 remote
(http://i51.tinypic.com/k8f0m.jpg)

G700 mouse
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2day9h2.jpg)

I was getting tired of using my PS3 controller for watching blu-ray movies and saw it was $10 at Radioshack, so I picked it up.  It's nice that it's bluetooth and you don't need to point it at the ps3, but it is gigantic for a non-universal remote.  There are doubles for many buttons because they needed to color both PS3 and remote buttons, except the PS3 buttons already function as remote buttons.  It was also nice of the Radioshack guy to try and sell me AAA batteries for it when the remote included the two required AA batteries.

The G700 is awesome because it's wireless (though you can plug it in and make it data wired) and has a ton of buttons.  Pretty expensive at $75 (on sale from $100) and it doesn't have that logitech anywhere surface stuff that was to compete with the microsoft any surface laser.  That's a bit weak.

I paid US$30 for my PS3 Remote.  :'(

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. It's kind of a PITA when you're used to really having to work to get an infrared remote to do what you want.

thats silly, the only real training you need when you carry a lethal option with you is something called escalation of force, i have a series of unlock codes in my head that would have to get ticked off before i let someone even become aware that im armed, if i take my knife out someone is getting cut, and probably at that point im aiming for your jugular, i guess the only other thing to know is never let your knife get taken from you, i have some knives that make it virtually impossible for you to get killed by your own

and i would never get in a knife fight, both of you are going to get gashed, id just book it

nah, the only situation i could see that happening is if i happen to be around a spree shooting when one went down (i know, not likely) and i would hide behind something until he walked right by me (even less likely) then i would try to grab the guys shooting arm while going for the neck or eye socket with my knife hand, like you said what would really probably happen is he would either been going gun first around corners and blow my brains out mid lunge or maneuver the gun around my hold and plug me in the chest and stomach a bunch of times - this situation is actually why i carry when i go out, at least i wouldnt be one of those people who curl into a ball and hope he doesnt just casually decide to kill you as he stalks through the building

i would only try that if i was trapped between a shooter and an exit, if i could make a run for it then id do that, id jump out of a fucking fourth story window into a bush before id even think of trying someone like that

Yeah, I have my CCDW but don't carry just yet.  Honestly, it's because my attire vs the size of the smaller guns that I have does not compute well.  My Sig P6 is the smallest thing I have, and it's still fairly large.  Maybe once I get a concealable holster (I've been meaning to) I'll carry, but for me it's just the peace of mind knowing that I have the permit if I ever were to think that I would be in any danger (traveling alone/small group, etc).

What the hell.  Is that a board game?  I have the Lost boardgame already and it's craptacular.  We had to make up our own rules to play it.

Yes, it's the same for me.  I have a 2000 as well (modded with custom firmware) that isn't going anywhere.  Will use the Go for new American releases that pop up on PSN, and the 2000 for everything else.  I like the Go's design and the screen is fantastic, but it's still a flawed piece of hardware.  I don't find it as comfortable to hold as the regular PSP for longer game sessions, there's no way to use another battery, PSN prices tend to suck, and there's still a number of games that are not available for purchase.  If the Japanese PSN PSP selection is anything like their PSOne selection, I bet it's much better with J-games, but you can only have one account on a PSP at a time, and it would be more costly for me to pay to get PSN cash cards from the internets to charge my J-account wallet.

But I like it for it what it is, and it's cool to be able to play games on TV with a PS3 controller.  Haven't messed with it yet, but there are also exploits available to use emulators on the Go.

I'm getting 3 copies of B&TB.

1 from Disney Blu Ray Club.  I'll pay full price since it's so fucking awesome.

2 from the Toys R Us deal.  At essentially 2.99 I'll ebay those fuckers for 25 each.

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.

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.


The original doesn't exist on the disc.

Picked up two Arc mice on sale. I've been using one for a while now with my laptop, and now I find it hard to go back to bigger, bulkier mice. One will replace my desktop mouse, and the other will be to eventually replace my current well-worn and beat-up laptop mouse. I'm going to hate it when they eventually discontinue these things.

Picked up a 2GB USB drive so the gf can use her profile on my newer 360 when she comes over. Actually ordered two, but they only shipped one, with the other on backorder. :'( Because I got them on sale, and I'm sure 2GB thumbdrives aren't terribly in demand these days, something tells me I'm going to be waiting a while before the other comes, if ever. Wanted them because of their faster read/write speeds compared to other cheapo USB drives.

Got Beauty and the Beast as well, but it's in transit from the US.

After watching these damn things hundreds of times, I still love it, but I'm surprised to say that Sleeping Beauty is now my favorite. It's just incredible.

A few more hardcover comics arrived today.

Locas II, by Jaime Hernandez - a ridiculous deal at $26 (especially with the crazy yen/dollar rate right now)

Heavy Liquid, by Paul Pope - just in love with this guy's art right now.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51dvQUqP3NL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Marvelous Land of Oz, by Eric Shanower/Skottie Young  -  been reading this to the kid via scans on the iPad, decided to get her a physical copy. She'll draw on it and rip it to pieces but whatever.

Unfortunately I bought the exorcist on a whim and didn't know there was a digibook available at other retailers (got mine at wal mart).  Oh well.  It was only 20 bucks compared to 34 at best buy for the digibook so I'm okay.  And it only has the extended cut which I don't mind since I don't really care for the theatrical.

Almost finished putting together my Halloween costume.  Still need some sort of belt, but shit is lookin' pretty tubular at the moment.

I think this is the first time I've ever been prepared for Halloween.  I usually end up throwing something together at the last minute and it always turns out awesome, so I'm hoping it doesn't turn out kinda sucky.  I had to explain what a hipster was to the only two people I've mentioned it to so far (and found it very difficult to do so, btw), so I have no idea how it's gonna play.

I have those on my Amazon wish list. I also have that Amazon price tracking plugin and it seems they are at their lowest new price in half a year. $25 down from the usual $130. Tempting...

I bought those darned cans at the full USD150.  :'(

I've been re-re-reading my trade paperbacks of The Walking Dead, wondering when the next collection would come out. I've got through collection #9, so I was happy to find out how out of touch I am. Now these are all due to arrive soon:

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.

But if a game is locked to 60fps on 360 or PS3, there is -no- advantage to owning a 120Hz display, is there?

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.

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.

Yeah, after I posted my thoughts, I read up a little, and ghosting seems like the only advantage a 120Hz set would have over a 60Hz one. Meh. 700 dollaz worth of meh.

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.

And recently picked up:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lvbwA6DtL._AA300_.jpg)

22 inch LG TV (got it free, thanks to years of points accumulated on a department store rewards card)

and

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/hotgraham/L49-2343-main01-am.jpg)

which I got on sale cheap.

The idea is to set these up out at the cottage for when the guys come over to play 360 system linked. No more hauling around giant old CRT tv's. Now, with what I already have, everyone will have a nice, HD screen and they won't be a pain in the ass to move around. Now I just need to get a set of good 360 VGA monitor cables.

This just showed up - 46' 1080p Regza LCD

A friend here had to leave the country in a hurry because of work so he sold this to me for a song. It's replacing the projector set-up I had in my man-cave, will most likely be used exclusively for gaming :rock

Also replaced the pads on my Senns. After 5 years of use, they were quite disgusting and painful to wear. I wasn't prepared for the improvement in the sound from the extra separation you get with new pads though. They feel brand new again! Should have done this 2 years ago at least.

WTF is that?

The new, redesigned (kind of) 360 controller. The d-pad transforms into a cross from the regular disc shape, the sticks are different and according to MS the triggers have been improved but I haven't tested them side by side so I can't comment on that. The sticks are way better though.

Do they come in black?

No that's the only color scheme. But it looks really nice next to a black console, I promise you that. I have the matte black 360 S and it looks awesome.

I bought one of those new 360 controllers too (got it a few days ago).  D-pad is slightly better but still not very good.  The analog sticks are much better now because they have a little dip for your thumbs now that is textured.  very comfortable.  The bumpers and feel of the plastic used is nicer too.  Shame the color scheme is so ugly, but w/e.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Raban on November 12, 2010, 07:51:56 PM
I like the color theme :(

And I think the d-pad is solid, I just played MvC2 and beat the shit out of the pad and I still popped out DPs like nothing. It's not the best d-pad ever, but it's better than the Dual Shock's.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: cool breeze on November 12, 2010, 08:02:48 PM
yeah, but when you put out a controller and hype it up with "IMPROVED D-PAD! FINALLY AFTER FIVE YEARS!" you expect more than this.  Analog sticks are the best part about it.

and the color scheme is just some nightmarish design.  I don't really look at it much, so it doesn't actually annoy me unless I think about it.  Everything from the tacky chrome to the mismatching battery pack to the face button shades of grey that have no logical pattern.  I wouldn't think about it as much if I wasn't so sure that a group of people sat down and designed the controller.

I'm not saying it is wrong to like it, only that I'm surprised that of all the ways they could have gone about designing it, they did it this way.  And to think that with the new xbox slim consoles, 360 controllers finally became pure black.

That announcer is in both versions.

RRXX has better game play than the original, plus the tag team stuff, but I also have a preference for the PS2 game as well.  The kooky story mode was fun to play.  Removing it from RRXX was a bad move.  The street fight mode also sucked.

Also Junpei, one of the "flaws" of the PS2 game is that you can only play as a heel or face version of the character, but hacked saves (and later an official "hacked" save, IIRC) are out there that will let you be able to choose all of them.  They fixed this in the Japanese and Euro releases that came later.  Those also had more animation and possibly some extra moves, IIRC.  I forget.

Rumble Roses/XX, Def Jam (the original), and Ultimate Muscle are my favorite wrestling games of the last decade, easily.  I have never been able to get into the various professional wrestling-based titles and for whatever reason, couldn't get into Firepro either.

I have the older brother of that mouse, the G9. I keep it on three solid bars on the mouse, and 2 in-game. And I added all the heaviest weight into the mouse. It's all about personal preference.

That screams Beretta, though I really don't like those due to size and weight.  But they're a full size with a double stack mag, chambered in 9 mil.  My current carry is a Sig P6, which is essentially a 225.  Old German police issue trade in.  It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.  Plus, I like that it has a decocker lever on it, honestly.

Kimber is down the road a bit, that's a really big investment.  Quick question, any particular reason you're going high cap over power?  For what you're looking for, I'd suggest maybe a 1911 .45ACP for a starter.  Single stack, usually 8 rounds, but a considerably larger punch, and WAY better safety features.  Safety to me is the name of the game, both the personal safety of myself and those that I love from others, as well as the safety of the weapon itself.  RIA has a pretty good starter 1911 for around 400 I believe, might be something to take a look at.  Or, if you're set on a double stack 9mil, (and I hate saying this) go with Glock.  I hate Glocks, but I'll be damned if they aren't reliable.

  • What dpi should I choose for Black Ops?
  • What is the optimal weight I should add to get the perfect balance between stability and mobility??

Etc. May not sleep tonight.


It's all about personal preference from the hardware to the software.

Unless they changed things from the G9 (similar to G9X, but earlier and with a lower max dpi) it should have included two types of grips to use.  One is a palm grip that makes it better to rest your hand on the mouse and move it around more with your wrist and arm.  I used to play that style and I'd use a lower DPI (and no acceleration) because I would move the mouse around more.  The other grip is more where you fingers do more work (it's hard to describe).  When I started playing with that grip (with the G9, actually) I used a higher dpi and sensitivity; I also put on slight acceleration through the Logitech software.

Acceleration basically means the faster you move the mouse, the faster the cursor will move.  Turning it off has the cursor move at a constant speed, which some people prefer because it lets you build in better muscle memory for where you aim.  There are also some games these days that have mouse acceleration on by default, and if I can't get rid if it in those games, I keep a separate profile on the mouse that doesn't have any mouse acceleration.  The software lets you set it from off to 3; I kept it at 1.

The other thing I'd suggest is that you keep a profile that remaps the side buttons to keys on the keyboard.  Some older (and even newer) games don't allow you to map mouse 4 and 5 (the forward and back buttons).

As for weight, it also is personal preference depending on your grip style.  I think I used all the smaller weights when I had it because I didn't want it so light that I could lift is so easily, but I also didn't want it to feel weighed down.  The mouse I use now, the G700, is wireless and the weight of the battery makes it a bit too heavy for my preference.

For DPI, again, it's down to preference.  The mouse lets you set 5 levels that you can switch between with those buttons under the left button.  I didn't need that much and reduced it down to three in case I needed the speed to be lower or faster than depending on the task.  But I'd say set dpi towards the middle or high and turn down the cursor speed.

Other things to note are the option that asks if you wish to use OS drivers for pointer speed and acceleration, which should be turned off if you want to set acceleration and cursor speed yourself.  Angle snapping basically assists you in moving the mouse in straight lines and I'd say to turn it off.  Reporting rate is like how fast the mouse responds to the computer (I'm still not exactly sure myself, but I've read that the higher you go, the more impact it could have on the cpu); personally I keep it at 500.  And you can also set x and y axis separately if you want up/down to be slower than left/right.

yeah i do, and its one hell of a reason - price

im gonna be shooting the shit out of this thing, anything over 9mm is a deal breaker

i hate how glocks have plastic sights and trigger, plus i kind of like the idea and look of a manual safety, btw i thought berettas were $700?

i do want that ria 1911 though, the plain looking black framed one with the wood grip

Like the watch itself but the band is kinda blah. The same brown without the textured look would probably look better and accentuate the main piece even more (though, like it needs that). And if you're still wearing your cravat, all you'll need is a pea coat and some slacks and you'll finish your "Arvie from a Steam Punk Dimension" look.

Also, here's a shot of FM looking over the typical Canadian landscape

Actually the band doesn't really look like that.  It is a lot more red in person.  I think it's the lighting in my room.  In the right light, it can look almost scarlet, which goes really good with the gold.

Took a trip to Gatlinburg these last four days and just got back.  Bought a watch at the Fossil outlet and got a wicked fucking deal on it!  :rock  Also stopped by Smokey Mountain Knife Works and found a nice Arkansas Wet Stone for $3.  Good times.

This showed up from amazon today:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Oe4medIHL._SS400_.jpg)

100 covers from DC's 75 year history. It is the classic YMMV product but there are about 15-20 in there that I'd happily put on my wall. So I went to my local crafts shop and got some cheap-ass frames, all half-price. I cut some cheap card to fit and just pasted the covers on top. It's utterly ghetto but that says 'comics' to me a lot more than expensive reproductions under glass, in a way. Big, garish cheap and disposable!

Here's the 3 I settled on (to begin with - the shop only had 3 frames!). Top is Animal Man #5, the classic 'The Coyote Gospel', which is a 4th wall-breaking exercise in existential terror based on the Roadrunner cartoon. One of the best single issue comics of the period. Cover by Brian Bolland, who does very little interior work but who is probably best known for The Killing Joke with Alan Moore. Written by Grant Morrison of course.

On the bottom left is Batman Year 100 #1, by writer/artist Paul Pope. I fucking love his art, it's just savage and lush and sexy. His Batman is genuinely weird and terrifying but very human at the same time.

On the bottom right is Ronin #1 by Frank Miller, which may be the first comic I can remember reading that really broadened my appreciation of the medium. This came out when I was about 12 yrs old and it was pretty mind-blowing, combining as it did elements from manga (Lone Wolf and Cub/Shogun Assasin, Akira etc) with European Heavy Metal-type artists like Moebius along with Frank's own post-Kirby superhero madness. It doesn't quite come together the way his later work did, but it is probably the most interesting thing he has ever done, for its ambition if nothing else. I have the Absolute edition, and I'm SERIOUSLY considering cutting it up to frame it as well. Such a beautiful book.

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 Amazon, 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.

As I said, YMMV!

It's mostly a coffee table book to flip through once in a while, getting some wall-candy out of it is a bonus really. I put it in my cart along with a bunch of other books and was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had reading it. But yeah, these are hardly definitive reproductions. I'm not quite ready to slash up my Absolute editions and such yet though. This was a dry run for such a project, really. I'm looking very hard at my copy of SOLO by Brendan McCarthy now.

Whole bunch of comics-related stuff has showed up from amazon, part of my yearly Xmas binge shopping:

SOLO by Brendan McCarthy:
(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/05/de/8ab3793509a0864732496110.L.jpg)

Just insane psychedelic art.

Prison Pit #1-2 by Johnny Ryan (#2 pictured):
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNRi3ugWL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg)

The INCAL Classic Collection by Jodorowsky and Moebius. This is one of 750 produced in English, at the original Euro size and coloring:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513ERqcw4AL._SS500_.jpg)

Green Lantern: Will World (for the incredible art by the late, great Seth Fisher. Only tangentially a GL story really. It reads much more like Little Nemo in Slumberland by Windsor McCay)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515S4A8YZ8L._SS500_.jpg)

Best of American Splendor by Harvey Pekar etc. Best toilet book ever! I love Harvey.
(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/14/24/60ebc060ada050c89cb3d110.L._AA300_.jpg)

Krazy & Ignatz 1927-1928: "Love Letters in Ancient Brick" (Krazy Kat)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51X5jZyNFjL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg)

Powr Mastrs #1-3 by CF. (#3 pictured below) One of the strangest comics ever published, and a book of the year candidate.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41aEozXkePL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Hellboy - Library Collection #1-3 (only 1 pictured below). These share the production values of DC's Absolutes, but are far cheaper for some reason. No slipcase but almost the same size and done on beautiful paper. The Mike Mignola art is a revelation at that size.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41OpnOMLgtL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg)

Duncan the Wonder Dog by Adam Hines - 800pgs of an alternate history in which animals can talk.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51GFkkXMKBL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

If n'Oof by Brian Chippendale
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/610t%2BHh1p9L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods (DVD documentary)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51b75SiNY2L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

and finally: Absolute All Star Superman
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41781uOL8mL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Don't even ASK what all of this cost. It isn't pretty.

Yesterday I spiked my good pair of headphones in a fit of SC2-induced nerdrage and ended up breaking them, so I just ordered a new pair from Amazon. I was pretty happy with my last pair (Audio Technica AD700) except that they were open-eared and kinda weak on the bass, so I went with Sennheiser HD595's this time

I think those are actually for fixing cars but it doesn't matter because you are still a loser regardless!

Now that they've hacked it, the Go has reached awesome status.

My Go's firmware is too high so I can't partake of the ISO fun (yet)...can't wait to be able to play some Lumines, Outrun, and the like on the Go.  FINALLY.

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.

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 :(

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.

We're just playing the waiting game...they'll release a hack for it too.

Although I'm still tempted to go out and buy another Go for this.

the iso loading thing works fine, btw.  you can even use the pause mode feature with it.

Nice!  I do know that some games don't work properly...people have been reporting crashes when running certain titles.

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.

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 :(

Quote
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 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.

yeah, I ordered component cables for $8 dollars, but I might go for the official cradle since it is $20 at Amazon.

In the end my setup will be: PSP Go Cradle -> LKV7000 -> TV. It will be a mess of wires but it should act like a proper PSP console I've wanted.

The go hardware itself is really nice, though.  I finally understand why recent racers Motorstorm use R/L for accel/brake since it feels natural.  On my 3000 I'd just change it to the face buttons and steer with the d-pad, but the position of the analog nub is better on the go so I switched to using that too.

Yeah, mine's not fast. I didn't realize how much variation there could actually be. US$16 is cheap, cheap, cheap, but the 360 said, "This doesn't meet spec, but you can use it anyway, you dirty poor."

i should have thought to check amazon.co.jp just as I'd not thought to check it for the HDMI cable when I needed one of those.

12 gbs of DDR3 2000MHZ + Creative X-FI Titanium HD

The Titanium HD sounds much nicer with earphones than my previous X-FI Titanium Pro and as a bonus, isn't associated with assface Fatal1y.  The only problem is now I'm tempted to buy a much more expensive DAC/AMP combo since electronics have such an impact on my earphones' performance.  I hate it when that happens.

Seriously though, I envy your rig.  :-[

Even with 6gbs, I noticed that Windows 7 was making use of the pagefile sometimes.  12 GB allows me to run without a pagefile so that my SSD won't wear out so fast.  Also, the new memory is a little bit faster than what I had before (1600 mhz).  So far, everything seems a little snappier with the upgrade but the main benefit is that now I can use a bigger ramdisk for games. 

The pic is bad because the soundcard box was too reflective and I was trying to get a better angle on it.  It was taken with my HTC G2 phone which actually has a pretty decent camera.

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.

42" IPS for $500 seems like a real steal.  There are 24" IPS monitors that cost way more than that. 

If you care mostly about gaming, then a LCD is the wiser choice although I prefer a plasma's picture quality.  It's better to not have to worry about burn-in and image retention.  They're not major problems anymore but they've not been completely eliminated either.

Just used my amazon credit to order:

There was a used copy with prime shipping for $53, so I paid about $43 total.  There are some new copies left for $49.99, but no prime shipping = no order.  3rd party booksellers always use slow ass media mail.

Not a bad price, considering I sold a copy for $250 at christmas time and wanted to replace it.

It's not my favorite of his pieces but he doesn't have much for sale, and very little of what he does sell is full color work, which is a major part of the attraction for me. My office/study/man cave is starting to come together at last :D Feel free to vote on whether it should be on the left or right!

as you can see the carpet care machines are where its at. Thank you costco for having the DC25 for regular price with all the attachments I wanted. I cleaned with our old vacuum then used the dyson and was like OMG. Decided that cause of it I'd move some furniture around and clean up so thats when I got to thinking. Maybe I should just steam the carpets and clean them that way. I'm much happier than I was a day before. Now if only I can find a good place to put my clothing in I'll be done with spring cleaning before its even spring.

Has it really not gone down much in price? $150 just seems like overkill especially when other complete series collections are going for around $100.

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 remember eyeballing one of these back when they were announced, and getting all HARDWARE FEVER about the possibilities these would have. I also didn't know squat about Linux (still really don't, outside of what it is), nor the amount of time it would take to actually get these actually manufactured, so I'm kinda glad I never bit the bullet and ordered one. I would have lost my mind waiting that long.
Still very cool though, I'll have to start checking up on these again to see how they do. I always find these sorts of things incredibly interesting.

Openpandora is many things. It's a way for me to


and all that without resorting to Apple hardware.

It's an open source handheld. Look at this here webpage (http://openpandora.org) (or here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openpandora)) for details. Basically, it's a netbook that went on a diet and got abducted by aliens to be crossbred with a DS phat.

I "only" paid 250€, but I hear the price has gone up and new customers are now expected to shell out roughly 350€ for the thing. I'm so awesome, saved 100€ by spending 250. ... I sould be a CEO or something.

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus for $10.

Is that through your workplace or is the deal available for anyone? I've been considering jumping on the student deal they have running for the academic suite for $90 but I don't know if it's worth it to upgrade or not. I'd definitely buy at $10 though.

Workplace.  You had to enter in a code and your work e-mail to get it.

After playing around with it, it seems like it could be a great package of software.  I like how they didn't ditch the 2007 Ribbon type of menus.  I knew of quite a few people who hated it and I never understood why.

I loved learning how to break down each one of my rifles and handguns and I love how easy it is.  My Makarov comes apart in about in 30 seconds. 

the cz is a pain in the dick to get apart, you have to rack the slide a bit to line a dot on the slide with a line on the frame, then hold it there while you punch out the slide stop

Post by: Mupepe on February 11, 2011, 10:51:27 AM
I own a .223, Remington 12 gauge, Remington .270, chinese sks and a 30.06. 

The sks has killed people too!  The sks is the AK47's older brother and I love shooting it.  the basic design is really similar and when I shot an AK it didn't feel much different.  So I would highly suggest the AK (or even sks) if you're looking for a good cheap, fun rifle.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: drew on February 11, 2011, 04:33:35 PM
yeah im not going to settle for less than a rifle with a 30 round magazine and the 74 ammo is cheaper than 9mm and is equal to 556 in accuracy and actually outperforms it when it comes to shooting people.  thanks for the suggestion but needless to say im dead set on one being my first rifle :P

is that remington 12 gauge an 870? im planning on getting a mossberg 590 after i get the rifle

usually around 400

then again theres always arsenal which sells them for around ar15 prices, which i feel is ridiculous since you're shooting dirt cheap cold war era corrosive rounds through it. if you ever do get one make sure it has a chrome lined barrel because of that fact

You have to wonder what it is that makes the difference between man-purse and man-bag?  Man-bags can be anything like a backpack, big messenger bag, duffel bag, or an Alice pack.  But sometimes you have to say, "Is this too gay for even me?"

I think your bag meets man-bag qualifications, Cormac.  It meets the criteria of being larger than a normal women's purse, it has a rugged look, and it has the word "Hunting" on it.

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 isn't actually all that convenient compared to my current one, which has all the right little pockets for the essentials (phone, keys, ipad, kindle) and is big enough to fit my minimal gym kit as well if need be. This one is definitely more for poncing around in I think.

I've got a messenger bag, but the only time I ever use it is when we're traveling. I carry my wallet in my back pocket, along with my keys and phone. I've never felt the need to carry around a bag with anything else in it on a daily basis.

a friend of mine doesn't even have a wallet, just carries everything wadded up in his pocket

we give him constant shit about it because he looks like a simpleton who can't count whenever he tosses his crumpled up bills on a counter - "is it this many?"

Depends where you live, I guess. If you live in Tokyo and don't drive, you need to have all your commuting entertainment shit (at least) with you when you leave for the day. (sidenote - i always lol when the aged salarymen open up their fancy-schmancy Armani briefcases to reveal a sports newspaper and a book of Sudoku puzzles, rather than top secret legal docs etc...)

Yeah.  Here in New York everyone has a bag, duffel, briefcase, etc.  But, I wouldn't need one if I had a car to store stuff.

Recent purchases I've made:

-Dragon-Age Origins Ultimate Edition (360), since my netbook just doesn't run the PC version smoothly enough.  I already miss the interface and overhead camera.
-Bulletstorm Epic Edition (360), Killzone?  LMAO.
-Apple TV, bought and hacked immediately to use XBMC.
-More furniture-shit from IKEA.  Must be approaching around $2500 worth bought in the past month now.

I really want to buy a new PC already...how to get the okay from the wife is the problem!

Post by: drew on February 25, 2011, 02:34:57 PM
paid 620 even including tax, i think the pricetag was around 590, it really isn't about that though, i guess i learned not to get hyped up about a gun then go out and buy it within the same day.  I woke up thinking "shit i just spent 1200 dollars on handguns within two months" which is money that would have much better gone towards a rifle or a shotgun, or gear or bullets or ANYTHING else for that matter.

anyways i called the shop i bought it from and they told me they would have to buy it as a used gun and i would take a 100 dollar hit, i guess that's better than a 600 dollar hit but still :(

That goes for almost any big purchase.  Let it sink in past the initial excitement.  You should at least keep it for a while, shoot it a bit and see if it grows.  Buyers remorse is pretty common on big ticket items but you'll know in a few days if it was truly worth it.

I think so, yeah.  The only Bioware games I have played are KOTOR1, a bit of Jade Empire, and both Mass Effects, and this game reminds me of medieval Mass Effect with a different combat system.  It's kinda like FFXII's, I guess. 

I also just ordered a new PC today, which will likely run the PC version adequately enough (on low settings, which is fine), so I may be selling the 360 version right back to the store.

You need to walk in Vibrams before you go jogging, man. You are asking for injuries if you do. I'd recommend at least a month of wearing around the house and casual walking outside before you go running for any kind of distance. (unless you spend a huge proportion of your time barefoot already, perhaps)

You make me sound like a thief. :lol

No, he hasn't noticed the numerals are slightly different colored.  I doubt he would since he's only looked at them a few times.

Did my friend pack it good?  Have fun messing around with the different tips to get the sound you like best.  For the Shure olives that I packed in, try putting them on in reverse but don't push too deep.  They're kinda hard to get off if you push all the way.  Sorry there was only one pair.  It happened to be my last. 

I just bought some Monster Supertips tonight.  They seem to work pretty well and might be worth a try if you can't get a good fit with any of the current tips.  I seem to get more bass with the Monster Gel tips than anything else.  However, they do have a tendency to slip off since they don't fit perfectly on Westones, even with the included adapters.

Yeah, the W3 is incredibly efficient, definitely more so than the W4.  I have to bump the volume by 20% to get the same loudness with the W4.  Also, the W3 has more bass, which is great if you listen to a lot of hip-hop. 
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on March 02, 2011, 03:02:22 AM
I'm pleasantly surprised. I put them in intending to listen for a few mins before getting back to work and I've been groovin' for about an hour now :rock The longer I listen, the more they disappear.

The isolation is fantastic too, which is handy 'cause i'm at home and have rug-rats around. They kick the ass of the Ety ER-4 and ER-4P (which shouldn't surprise me 'cause that's a 10-plus yr old design by now).
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Smooth Groove on March 02, 2011, 03:08:09 AM
Are you impressed by the soundstage?  I was really surprised by how wide it was when I first tried the W3.  It's hard to believe that those tiny earphones can produce such a big sound. 
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on March 02, 2011, 03:24:31 AM
It's about what I expected from the Etys. Of course they are a lot louder than the Etys, and it gets hard to separate volume from soundstage at some point. Got some Miles and Trane on now, still rockin' :rock

The amazing thing is that the seal doesn't feel particularly tight, but the isolation and volume is fantastic. With my old ones, I'd have had to feel like it was inserted directly into my brain to get this sound.

Zero natural filtration between the sound source and the eardrum, go awesome.  :wtf

Not entirely sure if your comment is about auditory health or audio quality but I do believe that speakers are still the best way to experience music.  The only problem is that a good stereo setup costs much more.  You'd have to spend at least $5000 on speakers + electronics to get the same level of fidelity as $400 earphones. 

Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on March 02, 2011, 10:44:26 PM
Yeah, there is no substitute for actually moving air. You will never feel music through earphones or even headphones the way you do with live music or speakers. But I can't crank up speakers up enough to make it worthwhile, and they cost so much more. High-end earphones are the best bang-for-buck by far. Even a crappy little ipod nano playing good quality mp3s can sound godly.

Yeah, the other problem of high end stereos is that really good sources are needed.  You can pretty much forget about using MP3s on them.  On my Uncle's $50,000 stereo, many mainstream pop recordings sound like garbage because they weren't produced for audiophiles.  I brought over a friend to check out that system and he was shocked at how many artifacts were in his favorite U2 CDs.

Right. I always find it funny how audiophiles end up gravitating towards jazz and classical, with a focus on who engineered the recording rather than the actual artist. If you listen to anything else, it drives you crazy so your taste in music ends up changing.

I'm only recently able to discern low quality MP3s when playing free crap on Grooveshark. My sennheisers do make everything else sound like crap, sure. And my Etymotic ER-6i sound really, really tinny anymore, but do a great job of making trains and planes disappear. Other than that, I'll probably never spend over 200 bucks on headphones of any kind.

Nvidia needs to revamp their naming system.  How the hell is anyone supposed to know that 485 is actually more powerful than 555? 

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.

iPads use a different class of processors than conventional PCs.  Not really comparable.

Aren't Ipads still much slower than top mobile processors?  That's what I based my comparison on.

Post by: Raban on March 08, 2011, 01:51:37 PM
Only KH2 is Greatest Hits :( gonna replace that sometime soon, I know of a local game store that has like 4 copies of black-band KH2. I also have around 10 games that aren't complete for PS2 sitting in a disc carrier.

And it's easier to just get everything on PS2 so I don't need to own more than one last-gen console. All these games look fantastic on my CRT anyways, Xbox's added AA doesn't really show up. My 360 collection is a lot nicer since I'm still actively building it, but it'd be hard to photo since it's on a rotating disc shelf thingy.

Sony X-series 32gb Walkman

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3659/3529902006_4c5de37e80_o.jpg)

It's been out of stock everywhere but I found one yesterday at Fry's.  I couldn't resist getting one because there's speculation that Sony might never release such a high end portable media player in the US again.  It's a nice piece of hardware, easily the best Sony product that I've bought in the last decade.  :patel

The sound quality is very nice and the battery life is awesome.  Only quibbles are that FLAC is not supported and the screen is smaller and less crisp than the Zune HD. 

On a related note, a shout out to "Mr Walkman" who passed away recently.   At least he didn't have to endure the collapse of his beloved company.

The current iPad 2 benchmarks smoke Tegra 2s, which is more comparable than laptop class processors.

The PSP2 will be using a similar graphics.  The same type of chip, if I recall correctly.

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.

HP Pavilion DM1Z

(http://common1.ziffdavisinternet.com/util_get_image/24/0,1425,i=245517&sz=1,00.jpg)

AMD Dual-Core E-350
AMD Radeon HD 6310M
4GB RAM
11.6 inch LED Screen
320 GB 7200 RPM HD

It's the same size as the HP Mini 311 Netbook I was using previously, but with double the power.  I don't need a lot from a PC and am very much a casual user, but I did want something that could handle multitasking better and play 1080P video, and this works for that. 

They're not even marketing it as a netbook anymore.  It's been getting really good reviews and is priced pretty low...cost me about $500 with tax/shipping.

I'm hoping that Dragon Age will run well enough on it (it was too choppy on the Mini 311), but I have spent the last few nights getting the game downloaded and running.   :lol  I keep getting errors with the Ultimate Edition content, and trying to patch it made the game unplayable, so I had to redownload it from the EA server again.

If it's anything like the guy's last novel, murder & mystery :) 
He's a pretty good writer!

My copy of ACE Portable from Ami Ami was schedule to ship on the 11th, I think it's still sitting in Tokyo after everything that's happened.

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. 

I usually fail pretty hard at trying to stay awake through visual novels in Japanese (I read a lot slower than I do in English, hard to skim all the animu gibberish), but will see if glorious 1080p art changes that.

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.

Well, what I played of Higurashi kept me more awake than any other visual novel to date thanks to good writing full of tensity, mystery, and creepy atmosphere.  So if Umineko is like Higurashi I might get through it.  I really enjoy horror mysteries.  The HD art should help though.

My copy of ACE Portable from Ami Ami was schedule to ship on the 11th, I think it's still sitting in Tokyo after everything that's happened.

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. 

ACE Portable was in my mail box when I got home. Took a week even with the earthquake.

yeah I was debating about it seeing as the graphics card was the most expensive item out of the bunch. Unfortunately they didn't have the other graphics card I wanted. I have no problem paying what I did for now to at least get me back into pc gaming.

I missed out on the bundles they offered in january when sandybridge launched so they gave me a crap load of incentives to come back and buy from them. Between bundles, coupons, mir's, and instant rebates I made out like a bandit.

By the way what are some of the better thermal greases out there? I know there have been some advancements in the tech in the last few years.

The case is freaking beautiful I can't wait to actually have it in my hands though.

It's my birthday today, so I got enough money to swap my Xbox 360 for the new model with the 250 GB hard drive and built-in WiFi. Gamestop is selling refurbished models for $250, maybe I'll take a chance on that.

I also got a $50 Best Buy gift card, I'm going to get the Super Mario 25th Anniversary compilation for Wii and You Don't Know Jack for X360, since the latter is on sale and I have a 10 percent off Reward Zone coupon.

Not top of the line, but it definitely helped my COD game. They are pretty comfortable too as I wore them for 3 hours straight. I'd take them off in between matches sometime though to cool off. Bass boost make explosions sound great. Very little outside noise gets in. I'd recommend these, but I'm sure there are better and more expensive ones out there.

That weird pair of Olympus EyeTrek personal theater goggles was sitting around, so I monkeyed around with it until I got my PS2 hooked up. The goggles are kind of crap! There is nothing black about the darks; it starts at about 50% grey and gets brighter. However, this gives me an option to play my PS2 games when I can't get on the living room TV for anything else.

Regular RCA/patch cables resulted in a scrambled picture and a loud buzzing feedback in the headphones. I had to use my PS2 S-video cable in to the goggles' control module for video, and the RCA-to-unified-video-jack for the audio. It works though! :lol

IPS226v

(http://www.pclaunches.com/entry_images/1010/29/lg_IPS226V-IPS236V-monitors3-thumb-450x337.jpg)

Bought and returned today.  I wanted to downgrade to a 22" because my aging eyes get tired scrolling across a 24" for games like Dragon Age.  Also, my monitor is 3yrs old so I thought that a new monitor would probably have better image quality. 

Unfortunately, this monitor has really nasty backlight bleeding.  One bottom corner is completely cloudy during any dark scene.  Other than that, the image quality is excellent.  Consoles work great on this monitor.  The upscaling is so good that 720P almost looks like 1080p.  I guess I'll just have to wait for the next reiteration to get rid of all the bugs.

Ordered this a few weeks ago but it just arrived today. It's a giant-ass (91cm x 65cm) canvas reproduction of the cover of Fantastic Four #51, by the immortal Jack Kirby.

You might remember the Brendan McCarthy painting I bought a while back, on the left:

The rest of the room is a mess right now, thanks to my wife dumping all manner of shit in there. Can't wait to get it cleaned up. It's just about done, functionally and decoration-wise.

It's a Denon, part of a set I've had for years. This room is pretty small (my home office) so it's more than big enough. I always remove the grills. It looks fairly stylish there I guess but it is literally just wedged between the TV and the wall behind it with an old t-shirt propping it up :lol

I bought the Hong Kong Blu-ray release last Summer. Absolutely fantastic (anime) film.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Bebpo on March 29, 2011, 05:22:38 PM
I just watched it (4th time seeing the movie), great video/sound quality blu-ray but I'm guessing the HK release is better because YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE SONG SUBTITLES.  Which is super annoying to me as a nit-picky fan of animation since the vocal songs are in some major major animation scenes and they cover up the animation :(  Still, it's a lot cheaper so I can't complain too much and everything else is good.

Might go HK version for movie #3

The movie has aged pretty poorly.  I used to think it was cheesy fun, but now it's just...awful.  The CG looks atrocious and the action is pretty bland.  It's like a more "mature" Power Rangers.

Looks nice, Borys!

I really need to get a new TV stand...I have a very basic one from IKEA which is fine, but the problem is that I have to use this metal/glass shelf I got to house all my consoles/modem/router/etc, and it just doesn't fit the living room...

The movie has aged pretty poorly.  I used to think it was cheesy fun, but now it's just...awful.  The CG looks atrocious and the action is pretty bland.  It's like a more "mature" Power Rangers.
Well, at least the soundtrack was decent.  It introduced me to Orbital.  Everyone knows the song I'm about to post:

Yeah, I avoid the Amazon Marketplace like the fucking plague now.  Games I've ordered from there are usually okay, but everything else is shit.  I recently ordered some protein powder for 20 bucks (usually 41.99).  It shipped like two weeks late, came in a completely fucked up package and tastes like it is old as fuck (I know because I buy the same brand, just at Vitamin Shoppe).  Unless it's a game, I'm fucking done with Amazon Marketplace.

19" Toshiba Regza LCD to have something attached to the PS2 and Gamecube upstairs. I may also move the 360 up there occasionally. Picture was really sharp, and it was a pretty reasonable 23,900 yen (well, reasonable for Japan, where they abuse their island nation consumers).

Earlier I bought a Domke F-5XB. In Olive w/ Canvas material of course...

It can hold a single DSLR camera with small profile lens attached and another lens. Or three lenses side by side with the DSLR around your neck (which is how I'll probably be using it when I'm out and about locally). Gonna feel good to finally have a place to store my lenses when at home and a place to keep them on my person when I'm out that isn't some random pocket where the lens doesn't really fit but I stuff it in there anyways.

Pretty decent for the price.  No sub-woofer included but that's a given (has the input available); works for what I need it for, which is to get better sound out of my Panasonic HDTV, which doesn't really have the best of speakers.

I think I may need to invest in a new A/V set up though.  The TV stand I am using is just too small for all the crap I have on it now, but everything I saw at IKEA this past weekend didn't seem that great or was too expensive.

I just bought a stereo-mini-jack to stereo-mini-jack cable.

I have an old Cambridge SoundWorks "PC Works" -- a subwoofer and satellite speakers set. For years I've been using it and half angry at it because it frequently wouldn't play out of the right-hand speaker. Eventually I tracked the connection problem to the integrated volume control on the cable connecting PC to subwoofer. With this cable, I hooked it up to my little Toshiba I mentioned earlier in this thread, and now I actually have decent sound on that TV. WOOT! 1000-percent-improvement in sound for ¥800.

(Yeah, I should have bought Amazon Basics again -- impulse buy just to see if this would even work...)

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.

The alcohol content is pretty high, IIRC. What was it, 8%?

9%

That's nothing, though. We had a growler of Avery's Maharajah Imperial IPA over Memorial Day weekend which was 10.3%. And I brought back from Belgium a bottle Westvleteran 12, which is 10.2%.

No, but really, why were you writing in it in a club?
Trawling, obviously.

Trawling successfully, I should add.

Part that, part so I could remember clearly who I met and was talking to.  Though "clearly" isn't exactly what happened, as I can't read my own writing for half of it.  Something about a asian lesbian and something about not being drunk.  (I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking.  It's bad.  I remember everything, but it's kinda fuzzy and such.)

Plus I always wanted a notebook to write notes in.  It seems enjoyable.

¥298

I disassembled a ¥2000 Chinese-made bug-zapper so I could auto-assassinate the mosquitoes which bit me four times last night. The thing was clearly meant to become landfill and replaced, but no. The light had died and it had been unplugged because the fluorescent flashing was going to drive me to epilepsy.

When I presented the bulb to the clerk in the light store, she said, "Oh, here's the same one, but it's a different maker. Panasonic instead of Toshiba..."

Of course when I get home, and get the whole lamp put back together, it turns out it's a white fluorescent lamp and not black, like the one I was replacing. So I'll have a well-illuminated room to sleep in for the next three months.

That US packaging is just too shitty for me to deal with. Also, language doesn't matter for either of those games. The main issue is that the JP version is ¥7000 vs the US $39.99. :(

2004 PT Cruiser.  We bought it because our old car died, and we needed something with low miles on it because my wife drives back and forth to work, which is an hour away.

I'm thinking about picking up an iPad 2 but I might just wait until they're able to be jailbroken. I've bought a shitload of games for the iPhone but those would be the regular, non-iPad versions. I don't feel like shelling out the money again to get the HD versions for the iPad.

So basically yea, I'm waiting until I can illegally download games on the iPad 2 before I get one (that and they're sold out everywhere).

I'm also thinking about jumping in with the Buy 2 games for $50 deal at Toys R Us so I can trade one in. I'm thinking Mortal Kombat and a game to trade in.

No speakers. Hrm, you'd probably have to use an optical cable to your receiver to get audio. Something like that. Separate speakers.

Is it really small on the inside?  One of the things about the Mini that surprised me was how roomy it was for the front two passengers (backseat is a bit small, but nothing crazy for a compact or two door car).

I'm about 5'6", and I can fit with room to spare. As long as you avoid the sunroof, you'll be fine. The trunk is okay, 10 cubic feet with the rear seats up, about 30 with the rear seats down.

Yeah, nobody buys a car like this for the back seats.

I picked this up at the same time to drive a couple of Bose 141s I've owned FOREVER and haven't had hooked up for maybe 5 years. Apparently these T-amps are "the shiznit" -- very reasonable prices and superb performance, based on some tripath chip thingie. I don't know ANYTHING about electronics, so I'm hoping this 20w amp will drive the 40w speakers.

Anyone know?

Tried NanoStudio? Seems like a pretty cool toy as well.

Korg M01 is quite nice, although I do miss having some more note control sometimes. slide/portamento for instance, would have been good to have in that Megaman track. Also, an Undo button in the sequencer view would have been very nice, especially when you start dragging chunks of patterns around to copy. hehe

I ordered the LOTR extended editions on blu-ray, they arrived over the weekend. This will be my first time seeing the extended versions (watched Fellowship today, really liked the added scenes and parts of scenes).

I also purchased a new programming book, Head First Design Patterns. One more on the pile of programming books I'll never finish, more than likely.

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.

I tried some more songs with which I'm substantially more familiar, and I gotta say this is the real deal. It's eerie. I honestly thought this might be some kind of Emperor's New Clothes scam, but there are some songs which sound almost distractingly different. Everything in Its Right Place is very, very clear. And some newly remastered Beatles stuff I had at 320k sounds very sharp.

Ok, been using it a few days now and it does well even in low-light rooms.  I mean the amount of power it needs is minuscule so a little light per day is enough to keep it at 100% reserves.  It doesn't even need sunlight, can charge from normal house lights.

That said, it's really reaaaaally thin and low and I need to buy one of those wrist strips to put in front of it because my wrists are not going to be happy at this rate.

No loli in Catherine.  The story is all about relationships and life shit that teenagers aren't really going to care about at their age.  I only played a little bit so far, so I have no idea about the sexual content, but with what I have seen/played, those covers really do give the wrong impression.

Mr. Gundam, are you going to specialty stores for that, or is that just what's available at, say, Whole Foods now?

Some of that was at specialty bottle shops, some was at Whole Foods and some was even picked up at Fred Meyer and QFC (Kroger).

That's the awesome part about the Northwest, everyone sells craft beer.

$25 used already. :rock

Eh, 32 is ancient by Japanese gaming standards.   :lol

That's why I said it.  ;)

Yeah, Japanese pricing --- it's almost like the country still thinks we're a captive audience, still operating on the island-based economy. Though I will say when I go to sell my import games at the Osaka shoppie, I am well-pleased that they offer me nearly heaps of money.

I didn't realize RL shirts are only US$38. I'm going to stop paying ¥15K for them, thanks.  :-\

I own probably 4 RL Polo shirts which I bought at Takashimaya because I had gift coupons to get rid of. I have another 3 of them which I bought for US$4 each from thrift stores in the USA during trips back. They're flawless; I have no idea why they were dumped on Salvation Army.

So... my average price is actually pretty good.  ;)

Got it for under $90 and just need to use it to make quick 3-4 min promo videos on youtube for my friend's comic shop. We were using a webcam, but this will work out much better.

Also got a 16gig SDHC card for it. If I end up using it a lot, I'll double that.

So, apparently I own 4 Virtual Boys. lol

I've had the one forever. But I found one on CL for $40. Missing a couple parts, whatever, I can replace them.

I post that find on CAG, and someone chimes in - "oh, i could have sold you one for $50" - so the logical thing of course is to buy it

And just now -another- Virtual Boy pops up on CL, but this one is apparently in great condition, and comes with 4 games, all of which i don't own (omg wario land). Unfortunately this guy was $80 firm... but whatever, I can just sell the unit itself for $80 (or more) and keep the games.

I ordered a daskeyboard ("silent" one, more like "not quite as loud", but brown switches are supposed to be a happy medium between blue/typing and black/gaming).

It's kind of incredible to type on.  Granted, I've been using an old Logitech G15 for years and this is the first mechanical keyboard I've tried, but it's a lot better.  I just wish it had media keys and a different caps lock key.  I just removed it for the type being and press the tiny brown stub if I ever need to be EXTRA PUNCTUAL.  also expensive for a keyboard.  even a student discount and ordering from their site, it is the most expensive keyboard I've bought.  And my Logitech G15 had a screen and macro keys.  This is a straight up keyboard and the only additional feature are two USB 2.0 ports on the side.

Coincidentally, they are very good for correcting posture issues like your monkey butt.

I tend to be barefoot most of the day these days anyway (working from home...) so it's hard for me to tell how much they help, but if you are mostly wearing regular heeled shoes all day, you will probably find that switching to no-heels alone will make a huge difference. People make all kinds of claims for them curing back pain and such. A lot of which is probably bullshit but anyway, worth a shot.

I have narrow feet (relative to their length, that is...30cm) so I don't like or need the laces at all. They do make 'em look more normal though. And they're still pretty damn light and minimal everywhere else but the upper.

That's the shittier, bug-filled version.  I got that on 360 and quit playing after the game froze up on me during the training sequence, right in the beginning.   :lol :-\

The new PS3 version has been improved and has a bunch of extras.  I figured it was worth it at $30.

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.

Yea man. It arrived yesterday, and while I haven't used it yet I felt it...and holy shit it's rough. I expected something...fluffier

Rollers are good stuff, I've had good improvement in balance and posture with one.  Hope it works well for you.

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.

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.

Well it's good to know that the chair appears to have your seal of approval. I want to do more research before I buy anything but the SAYL is looking like the front runner for now if I decide I'm going to spend that much.

And yeah, it's a pretty hot looking chair.

The bike light I have is a total pain in the ass to take off and put back on when I leave my bike somewhere.  The elastic slip is such an amazingly good idea I'm surprised I hadn't seen it implemented before.

:arr yeah elastic mounting is nice, I use a computer from Knog (http://www.knog.com.au) on my bike which uses elastic mounts both for the display and the sensor, very nice and super easy to attach/remove. They make lights as well.

Hyperdunk 2011  Black is kinda boring, especially compared to the other color schemes for this shoes, but at least it'll always match with whatever I'm wearing. 

Kinda wish I had a chance to try out the Addidas crazy light but I was already leaning towards the Hyperdunk because of concerns about the crazy light's durability.

I was surprised to find so much good stuff left at 70% off. But I think that had something to do with the store not having power since Friday.

Well since all the new #1's are coming out this month and I've been on a big comic book kick lately I figured I'd at least catch up with the ultimate fallouts before I read about the new Miles Morales. 

My next purchase will either be 252 (first symbiote issue) or 299 (first venom issue).  Both are about 40 bucks in near mint condition and I want them but can't decide.  Arghhhhhhh.

My wife was going through my comics a week or so ago and read some of my spiderman comics and then I figured eh I'll read some too and before we knew it we were nose deep in the backissues bin of our local comic shop and we've been going nuts for the last week or so.  We're fucking addicted.

new graphics cards: Nvidia GTX 560 ti

not a huge leap over my gtx 275, but it's cheap, rebated and includes Batman Arkham City, which is a game I'd buy day one.  Mental gymnastics brings it down to under $200.  Should last me a year or two, or at least put be in a better position for Battlefield 3 and Skyrim, and it has DX11.

current card is almost exactly 2 years old because it came with Batman Arkham Asylum.  Will buy next card when Arkham Nation is out.


and just realized this is almost a decade of Nvidia exclusivity.  from 4600 to 6800 to 8800 to 275 to 560.  brand loyalty  :'(

That's a cool piece.  Not that I would spend $55 on it, but it's cool.

His stuff normally runs for exponentially more than that (as do most prints).  I actually felt like I had to ask if there was something wrong with them for being so cheap, but he said it's just part of the site's mission to provide inexpensive limited edition prints for new and up-and-coming artists.

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.

I thought about getting Gears since I liked the first one and the second one was at least pretty and fun to shoot at things.  But way too many games out/coming out this fall, so I probably wouldn't play it until next year and it'll be like $20-30.  Will wait.

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.

Wife got back from the States today, brought a stack of stuff for me.

In it, it turns out I've got TWO copies of Splinter Cell: Conviction... Apparently I failed to check my order particularly thoroughly. :maf

Also have a copie of Gears of War 2 Complete Collection, which I didn't order, and am now wondering if it was swapped in for something else. I can only assume that it's a mistake in the order fulfillment, or it's a present, and someone at Gamestop said "This is hot" while giggling under their breath. I've got, like, negative interest in the series. And GOW2's camera is weird for me, so just the tutorial made me nauseous.

Anywho, I'll post a picture of The Full Monty shortly.

Edit: The haul...
(http://i.imgur.com/tQE1I.png)

That's right, 2X because Tom Clancy is 2Xtreme!

Also, it turns out the GOW2 Complete Collection was a free giveaway with the cellphone rental at LAX. Since I'm the only guy in Japan with an Xbox 360, they gave it to me.

Upgrading from what is now known as the Kindle Keyboard. Cheapy D talked me out of waiting for a Touch ('it adds nothing, and this is smaller, lighter and cheaper') and not interested much in a Fire right now (iPad rules all in this house, and will be day 1 on an iPad 3). Maybe down the road, after it brings down prices across the board and has a few more key features.

I still haven't played Rorona.  But it's a series, like Trials in the Sky, that I'd like to get to someday since the gameplay sounds very refreshing and the art is pretty good in Totori/Meruru, so I might as well collect the games while they're still in print runs.

That's the TWO copies of Splinter Cell I mentioned. I tried a little Zumba already; not sure if I'm going to play it a bunch or just rub one out daily to the chica on the cover.

It turns out the Gears of War 2 game was a giveaway with my wife's cellphone rental, which I mentioned. Everyone at my work is accustomed to xbox games selling for ¥8000, even older titles will still go for ¥3000 yen or so; they're blown away by the concept of a giveaway like this.

The two books, a Maya guide and Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, are both focused on my upcoming job switch. I'm a little nervous, but I think it's all going to work out well after the dust settles.

Well at the very least the iPhone 4 should be significantly cheaper once the iPhone 5 is out. There might be options available to get back the difference in price, I'm not really sure. Someone else who knows more about phones might have something.

Organize your own Occupy Wall Street type movement on Twitter to give you and your colleagues something to do?


Actually, they are organizing one of those for Toronto.

Unfortunately, that would just fall under the jurisdiction of Toronto Police, and there would be no reason to call out the Mounties.  No good.

As far as my critical side goes, yeah I agree.  But on a rewatch basis, I find the other just more enjoyable to throw on every once in a while.  Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE Pulp Fiction.  I tend to be a Tarantino fanboy.  It's just not one of my favorites of his.  IB is so damn entertaining to me I watch it probably every month or so by at least having it one while I do something else.

I have the HD600s, and they are simply amazing. Some of the best money I ever spent. If you are being put off by the price of the 650s, the 600s offer great bang for buck right now. Apparently there isn't much diff in the quality.

This is US$50 in beer, in Japan. They're all the smaller bottles. We went shopping at a grocery with a foreign alcohol section; they've had some Trappist stuff before, and a number of Dutch lagers, but finding Stone and Anchor Steam was like god smiling at me. Already had one Liberty Ale; it was good for homesickness.

The bottle to the left, Harushika, is very good and inexpensive in Japan, for j-boritos who like nihonshuu.

OK, wow, the WDTV is amazing :o

Bought it on recommendation from a friend, he wasn't bullshitting, it seems to play everything I throw at it without a hitch. Played one file over DLNA and I remembered it having subs. I realise .srt files won't load over DLNA since the NAS only streams the video itself. So I go back into the menu and sure enough the WDTV lets me mount the NAS shares directly with username and pass so I can play it with the subs.

Well, the pawn shop said the reason they were selling them that cheap is that the company isn't getting enough of them to make it worth it so they're getting out of them all together (like I said, it's a chain, so they have a pretty large inventory).  Had a friend that bought his there a month ago for about the same price and hasn't had any problems out of it.

Also, if I create a new XBL id and pay for a gold membership, shouldn't that cancel out any bans the previous owner had (if they had any at all)?

Went to try out the Korg Monotribe, had considered buying one. Not so sure after trying it out though, a bit too barebones for the price. 8 step sequencer only and no control over the drum sounds is the killer for me. People are modding the shit out of this already but I'm not the kind of dood that rips out a soldering iron and goes loco with arduino stuff. So I just bought some new slipmats for my 1210:s.

¥1900, mainly because it's a friend's game.

Picked up that M83 album today since I recognized it- great stuff; never listened to them before but the bore USUALLY has good taste so I took a chance.

MAF, get the previous M83 album "Saturdays = Youth." You'll love it.

Also, pick up the two Pains of Being Pure at Heart albums.

Uncharted 3 is a lot of fun despite all its flaws. UC2 is the better game by far, though.

Dance Central 2 is more of the same, now with 2P simultaneous play. 

Otomedius showed up yesterday.  The game has been delayed for months on end and I surprised when it showed up.  Still does not compare to the old Parodius games and has way more slowdown than it should.  Konami should have released this as an XBLA title...that's what it feels like.  It's visually-improved over the original, but that's not really saying much.  Can't complain for $13 I guess.

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AZ3MHJ6XFKA/Tn-sJtjzL_I/AAAAAAAABp4/6i4pGHKfqps/s1600/KAMANDItwartc150.jpg)

Some process stuff here for the art nerds:
http://bigbugillustration.blogspot.com/2011/09/kamandi-searchdestroy-twartists.html

The inspiration was the Iggy and the Stooges track, 'Search and Destroy'. The lyrics fit the Kamandi story to an eerie degree. 'I am the World's Forgotten Boy'...

The lettered and colored version is cool as hell but it's digital-only:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9_-VpdcFRfU/TojUuqZO21I/AAAAAAAABqw/RK_UvCp2tHU/s400/KAMANDItwartkyleweb.jpg)

More pics when it arrives and I get it framed etc. I'm asking him for a high-res version of the lettered/colored version so I can print it out and frame them side by side.

John Wall's new Reebok kicks.  Got them for outdoors.  They don't look great but they are really comfortable and have great cushioning.

Originally, I bought these Hyperfuses but they were too narrow for my feet so I returned them.

Post by: Eric P on November 08, 2011, 03:59:40 PM
I only read the Dwayne Mcduffie run which was uh very 90s.

Quote
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]

To be honest, one of my biggest pet peeves with spiderman is the weaving in and out of the different spiderman universes.  Like in Amazing Spiderman #252 you're fucking lost unless you decide to go buy a bunch of ultimate spiderman issues.  And then stupid arcs from other universes affect good arcs in other universes.  It's so annoying.  That's my main problem with the maximum clonage and other shitty arcs, they infected everything Spiderman.

I stopped reading spider-man for a long time when at the end of maximum clonage they were all like 'you know that spider-man youve been following for years? not the real spider-man, scarlet spider is LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' and im like FUCK YOU MARVEL.

I took some games to Best Buy and traded them towards Mario yesterday.  They give pretty good prices and I got an additional $26 extra just for reserving Mario.  That left me $50 in credit, so I picked up Skyrim as it's the only game I don't have coming from Amazon.

Mario is fucking awesome.  First original 3DS game that's worth a damn.  Skyrim is going to stay shelved for a while since Saint's Row is Tuesday.

Utage is tempting since we'll never see it here in North America.

Is it standalone or do you need Basara 3 for it? If it doesn't require a Japanese version of B3, I'll pick it up.

Post by: Bebpo on November 14, 2011, 04:36:45 PM
99% sure it's standalone.

I'm going to get Basara 3 first and put some decent time into it before getting Utage sometime next year.

batman arkham city collectors edition. Bought it on release at opening and it had nothing but the figure and a two page manual in it. No game, or any of the additional goods that it was supposed to come with. WB sucks and so does Bestbuy's return policy. I got a nice figure for a $100 bucks though and a cool catwoman guide.

Thats just the stuff I can think of. Not including an awesome trip to Washington State.

Five years ago, I found one of these in a little record shop in Osaka for ¥1500. The packaging was pretty beat up, and I passed on it. I regretted it almost immediately, but when I went back, the store was gone. A year or so ago, this was going for US$70 through just about any Amazon z-shop I could find. Just now I managed to get it shipped through a US based z-shop for ¥1575 total, in "like new" condition.

Very stoked. I hope it is actually "like new," though I'll probably end up opening it at some point.

I've had to sit and wait for Warner Bros to get a replacement. Their customer service sucks that bad, its been more than a damn month now. Bestbuy's policy is if its open it can only be exchanged and not returned. Since its opened they can only exchange it for another like product. Problem is you have to do the exchange at the store in which you purchase the product so they can do a RTV (return to vendor) so they get refunded. Problem is they don't have any stock of the collectors edition. I've raised a stink, called a bunch of times and talked to the same CSR at Warner Bros at least a dozen times. They are just stalling just like with all the missing dlc codes for the game that people never got.

As for the black eyed peas experience the misses wanted it after playing Just Dance 3 and it was only $16 bucks.

THIS IS THE HOUSE OF GAMING!

Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: G The Resurrected on November 16, 2011, 12:39:25 PM
No bank robbing necessary, its the cag way of life and some good luck here and there. Honestly didn't spend that much, between pricematching other stores and a small amount of flipping it has allowed me to get some things I wouldn't normally be able to. The only games I payed full price for were Assassins Creed, Skyrim CE, Metal Gear Solid Collection LE.

Hell I don't even have a good job and work like 12 hours a week.

Just to break down a deal I partook in.

Lego Harry Potter 5-7 pricematched 29.99 (Walmart toybook)
Harry Potter 7 Part 1 $22.99
Harry Potter 7 Part 2 $22.99

Purchase all three save $20 on Lego Harry Potter game so I saved another $20 on top of the PM.
Then there was a deal for buying 2 or more 3d blurays and get $10 off.
So for $49.97 I got 2 movies and a game.

Another would be the halo 10th anniversary edition

Preordered both copies at the M$ store get $5 off the game, go to the midnight release and you get a $25 gift card for each game's purchase.
So $34.99 for each copy along with a grunt plush and $25 giftcard.

I always buy Hitachino. Their Classic Japanese Ale is a great British style IPA, and the Commemorative Ale is a kickass 9% ABV Winter Warmer.

I also have a can of Yo-Ho Brewing's Aooni IPA in my beer fridge right now. This stuff has consistent distribution in Washington. We used to get Baird, but the distributor pulled out, so I can now only get it when I'm in Oregon or British Columbia.

It's actually the wartime flag, isn't it? The sunburst pattern is deprecated against all current official national iconography, I think.

I kinda like it, but I can only imagine how weird it would look if I tried using one in Japan.

Xam'd is really nice looking art/animations, has an interesting worldview, decent characters, and some good action.

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.

I may buy an iPhone 4S in the coming days. Sprint is dangling a $150 discount in front of me if I stay and get a 2-year plan priced at $35 a month- on up.

I'll get the 64GB iPhone 4S, and the $80 a month plan (450 minutes/unlimited data), and I can play some Real Racing 2 and Angry Birds, and ask Siri where the strip clubs are.

Meanwhile, I downloaded the Some Girls remaster off of iTunes, and bought a physical copy with the T-shirt for my aunt for Christmas.

Not really used to spending money like this but this stuff should last me several years.

A new apartment :-\

$2500 in furniture for said apartment :-\

Tomorrow I'm going to get a 60" Sharp LED TV with a TV stand that should total another $2500 :-\

Not really used to spending money like this but this stuff should last me several years.

I'm also going to build an awesome PC, which might cost $2000 since I want to have a two monitor setup.

Yeah I've dumped thousands on furnishing me new place, but it's worth it

I have to do this soon...not thrilled.  I still don't feel like I should upgrade my ~4 year old HDTV because the only new things seem to be 3D or webtv stuff and stuff I don't care about.  But I'm weak  :(

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.

it's kind of obnoxious because the first two films were released on one disc and then months later the third was released standalone so that package is two discs for three movies.  It still looks damn good.  The second film suffers the most from time and HD, though the third is improved.  Excellent Kaiju all around.

My wife and I had to buy everything earlier this year, too, and it was about the same as you spent.  $2500-$3000 really isn't all that bad to completely furnish an apartment.

Ended up getting a 42" Panasonic LCD HDTV (IPS panel) for the living room.  Looks great and was only $500.

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.

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.

Phantasmagoria 1/2 are the only Sierra games I never played as a kid because my parents wouldn't buy it for me because it was R-RATED ADULT game with sex and violence and apparently a rape scene.  So I've always wanted to play it to see what I missed out on.  Only took me like 17 years to get around to doing it, but I will play them soon!

- King's Quest 6
- Divine Divinity
- Gabriel Knight 2+3
- Gobliiins 1 then Gobliins 2 then Goblins 3 (most funny adventure game ever, yes funnier than MI)

Already played those in the past.  Great games.  I think I played some of the mainline Ultima games because I recognize the screenshots, but I don't remember which ones.  I do remember UU being my first dungeon crawler though.

Will check out the others!  I played Little Big Adventure back in the day but my memory is hazy as to if I actually finished either one.  Will see how familiar they are when I play them.

Yeah, that was my introduction to them, at Beer Belly. It was a great evening. They had the W-IPA on tap, and without knowing its alcohol percentage, I had 3 pints. I just finished the second bottle of that tonight; you can see the first one is missing the cap in the pic. Nipponia is being saved for a guest at our xmas party.

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

This includes EVERYTHING from the old Laserdisc that used to sell for $500+ on eBay. The only change was that they moved the 45 minutes of storyboards out of the main 3 1/2 hour documentary and put them into their own separate feature as Jackson explains on the disc that having to step through them on the LD in the middle of the documentary annoyed him.

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.

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.

Two of the best things to do while my wife is watching a rom-com, Greys Anatomy or whatever girlie bullshit is on is to either clean or polish my guns.  I've turned my 1911 into a mirror!  Wanna see? :)

not only is the cover revolting, they couldn't even find a proper image of the godzilla design that was used in the film on both the front cover and the inside jacket. a remarkably lazy and embarrassing effort from criterion.

i would've excused nearly any other publishing house but for the premium prices for anything that bears the criterion stamp of approval and for a company that prides themselves in knowing and paying attention to the tinniest of details, it does come off as being lazy especially since criterion has been begging both ralto and toho for the rights for nearly ten years. it's a pretty big fuck you to the standards they themselves have set. it cheapens godzilla being part of the criterion collection and places the film right right next armageddon and the rock as an easy way to earn a paycheck.

(http://www.abload.de/img/critgodz59kph.png)

goofy eyes and all, criterion should be celebrating the 54 film and not godzilla himself, especially the 2001 variant. it really isn't hard to do better than that throw away design, especially when it's coming from bill sienkiewicz

it's the equivelant of placing the 1980's remake of the blob on this

Lebron 9 freegums

I've been obsessed with basketball shoes ever since I started balling again.  Next week I'll probably get the Derrick Rose 2.5.  After that, I'm gonna force myself to stop.  Collecting basketball shoes is a too expensive hobby. 

These Lebrons were surprisingly short when I got them at my exact size (9.5).  I expected them to be bigger since Lebron's a big dude.  I ended up getting them at 10.5.  They felt really good, especially around the ankles.  I actually felt safe even without my ankle braces.  The cushioning is also excellent.  My knees didn't hurt when coming down from grabbing the rim.

I also bought these Hyperdunk supremes two weeks ago because I loved the regular Hyperdunks so much.  I'm thinking of returning them though because the webbing at the front actually makes them less comfortable than the regular Hyperdunks.

For the LED LCD range yes it is. I was thinking about plasma but the life of the phosphors was questionable. The misses leaves the tv on all day and night. Called up Samsung and told them what happened and was offered a upgrade if it was not fixable. Instead of getting a inferior 720p set I negotiated to get a better tv.

Amazing shoes for the money, maybe even the best shoes I've played in.  I was easily blowing by people or staying in front of people on D.

Build quality is also much better than Nike shoes.  The freaking Lebrons already have a few spots where the colors seem to be fading.

I dunno, I mean I tried Encounters in Space or whatever the PS2 one was, the SEED action game on PS2, the Wii Gundam FPS action game, etc... and they all seem the same.  B-/C grade generic mech shooter. 
I really like Gundam rpgs/srpgs/fighting games, but the UC space shooters all seem the same.  Just covering the same 3 series of UC is so boring in games these days.

0081 was kind of cool in that it had a strategy mix to it plus told an original story.  I really need to get back and finish that.  I've heard the GC game is like that too and I should play it someday.

Still might buy The 3d Battle because it's cheaper ($65-70 instead of $100 like most 3ds/psp/vita games after shipping) and it's Gundam, but no rush.  Like I decided not to buy G Generation 3D after hearing it's really low content, filler entry between World and the next major G Generation.  I bought WORLD on PSP instead off ebay for $50.  Will use that as my first G Gen game.

Cool stuff!  Really clean, detailed drawings.

I actually got the building construction book more for reference.  Interior designers deal with architectural details too but at a much more basic level.  Been working mostly with architects lately so extremely complex details are required. 

Like this is the kind of detail designers are familiar with:

SHITTY COMICS GET!


I have a fondness for the recent Teen Titans series. 

I was alternating between it and and The Outsiders, and I left off on Volume 7 of both. I liked both of them, but the last two volumes of Outsiders kinda jumped the rails, and I just stopped reading both series.

I've shot tehjaybo's RIA 1911 and I've never known of it to have a problem.  It's a pretty great gun.  The action is really smooth, it has an ambidextrous safety (good for lefties like me), and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.  The extended beaver-tail makes the grip extremely comfortable too.

I came really close to picking up a Springfield XD .45ACP, but in the end the 1911 was just more comfortable to grip and fitted my price range just a little better.

i got one of these the other day:
http://www.amazon.com/Brita-10060258355588-Bottle-with-Filter/dp/B004GN8RDY
(http://i.imgur.com/0Z95x.jpg)

it works pretty well. the water that comes out of my kitchen tap has a slight ting to it which disappears when i drink it through this bottle so it does what it is meant to do.
the bottle itself seems a little "first try" though. there's a small gap between the top of the lid and filtration holes so you literally can't get all the water out. also it takes a bit of squeezing/sucking to get water flowing.
also - the bottle is too small.

still though, it's pretty cool.

I tried one of those Brita bottles a few months ago and I hated it.  Leaked all over the place.  I switched to a Bobble and never looked back.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: fistfulofmetal on February 05, 2012, 08:39:18 PM
i've heard people have had that problem but i haven't myself.

i think someone at work has a Bobble though, didn't realize it was one of these kind of water bottles. definitely looks like a better design.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Groogrux on February 05, 2012, 08:46:33 PM
The only problem I have with mine is that the plastic in the bottle creases a little bit but it's never cracked yet, so....

Got it for $50 shipped off an HK ebay seller and it came in like 4-5 days.  Wish he had a bigger inventory because that's good service.

When I do cardio power walks on treadmills and stair machines, I play turn based rpgs or read books.  Since I don't have a lot of time for gaming, it's how I get through my portable backlog and novels.

But not going to play it until I get my slide pad and who knows when that's coming since Play Asia fucking sucks with backordered out of stock things :(  Ordered it 2 weeks ago with a few games :|  Don't want to buy the US slide pad and not be able to cancel my JPN order in time and be stuck with two of them.  So will just hold off playing it for a month.  Already in the middle of a bunch of other games and Vita launch is next week anyhow.

you know you can order it from Nintendo.com, right?

both it and Xenoblade are either Gamestop or Nintendo's own website.  Why? Common interest in stifling the switch to digital distribution.  Or something.

Buying shoes online is so incredibly annoying.  I need to replace my go-to black athleisure shoes because they're a good three years old now and embarrassingly fucked up, but I never see anything I like in stores and I think I'm too fickle for the ship/return process.

Anyway, I'm irritated so I'm going to ask for some thoughts.  I like these, but they look identical to generic All Stars and CK makes some really shitty products —I doubt they would last a full year.

http://a1.zassets.com/images/z/1/6/2/1622012-p-2x.jpg

I like these Asics, but they're probably too sneaker-y in actuality.

http://a1.zassets.com/images/z/1/2/9/1293986-p-2x.jpg

I like these Kenneth Cole's —they're the closest thing to what I'm looking for, but the design on these is a bit tacky.  And they're twice as much as everything else I'm looking at.

http://a2.zassets.com/images/z/1/5/0/1501651-p-2x.jpg

I like these leather Converse, but that zipper edge is skirting dangerously close to gimp fashion.

http://a1.zassets.com/images/z/1/7/0/7/6/4/1707640-p-2x.jpg

And finally, these PF Flyers because they're called "Windjammers", and I quite like them, but I'm skeptical of paying more than $50 for canvas sneakers without a toe guard.

I agree.  I'm just going to buy them both and send back the ones I like the least.

edit: I have athletic shoes; these are to replace my beater, all-purpose shoes, essentially.  I should probably grab another pair of brown leisure shoes, though.

Got my season 2 Code Geass set in today. They seriously did an 8 disc release for 24 episodes at this point? What assholes, no wonder everyone stopped buying their shit. Haven't gotten a chance to watch the Tribe doc yet.

About $4000 worth of bathroom tile, American Standard 5' bathtub, Karastan carpets, and 3 of these toilets:

tiesto bangs chicks so fat he needs three toilets in his bathroom.  One for the first half of their shits, the second for the other half and a third for redundancy.  You can never be too careful in these matters.

Tiesto you gonna do all the work yourself? If so I wish you luck on your "weekend project" that will end up taking a lot of time. Just a tip if you got one of those low flow toilets (which you most likely got due to most cities water restrictions) adjust the slack of the tank fill tube that's connected to the float ball. Then just add more water your new toilet will thank you and work more efficiently cause it'll have more water pressure to suck your crap away.

Good luck with the tile, easily the hardest thing to do right by any means especially if your redoing a shower. You mess up anything on the cement board and your fucked.

As for what I bought today, I bought a day of freedom from the misses for one day. It's costing me an arm and a leg, and possibly a deal with the devil to make it so. In the time she's gone I'm gonna clean house and god know's what else.

Basically everything but the kitchen (since that's the most expensive part of the house). I'm definitely gonna post some before-and-after pics...

Andy: Nope unfortunately! They had the Toto toilet which had a bidet (adjustable for men/women), heated seat and remote control, all for $5000! A bit out of my price range :P

Never gonna be able to live down my  :uguu  tastes



Also I'm pretty sure at this point I now own more Vita games than I do 3DS games and that's with owning two 3DS systems and the 3DS having a year head start.  Vita games skew more toward my tastes I guess.

I just got Shinobido 2 in the mail.  The Vita boxes are so small yet too big for their purpose.  I open it up and there's a tiny game cart; no manual or anything.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Bebpo on February 21, 2012, 07:53:58 PM
Lack of manuals is a long time coming but totally lame.  Especially in Japan where you would always get nice thick full color manuals and now absolutely nothing :(  3DS games win there.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: cool breeze on February 21, 2012, 08:31:12 PM
I don't mind because there are digital manuals now.  I'm just saying that it could be even smaller.  Cases tend to waste so much space.  For CD sized games, I would've rather they been the size of DS cases, or like a jewel case but less shitty.  Or even just how much thicker a PS3 case is than a blu-ray case.  I liked those Japanese gamecube cases.  And it's not dissimilar to the DS cases, but those had GBA slots.

This is definitely the most meaningless thing to whine about.

Yeah, my kids really wanted a Wii, and they turn it on about once a month to play Super Mario Bros. Wii and yell at the youngest one for ruining their game. In fairness, playing with a 6-year-old can even make Lego Star Wars challenging.

And to stay on-topic, here is my haul of trade paperbacks picked up at Dr. Comics in Oakland, and Atlantis Fantasyworld in Santa Cruz. Everything on the right-hand side was half-off:

Wanted a better semi auto/auto AEG airsoft gun, but my budget was around $100. This one retails for $180, but Amazon had it for about $100 and extra clips are easy to get for it. So I ordered one with four additional clips and 5,000 rounds of .20 BBs and I'll have it in time for another 200-person war on Sunday.

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.

Technically its two separate issues at work. Input lag and response time. But in both cases its an improvement from what I went to.

You do want a fast response time but iirc the "2 ms" thing is more of a marketing gimmick than anything generally. It's possible to get a monitor with a 2 ms response time listed but still have bad ghosting and lag issues, even more so than monitors with apparently slower response times. I guess the moral of the story is to look for reviews for any specific model you want rather than just trusting that metric.

Great answer, bro.  :bow2

You helped me remember that performance is my #1 priority.  I guess I'll keep the shoes in the box until the elites come out.  I'm not sure if the elites are limited editions so I want to have the Mango L9s as backup.

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.

I think that effect is due to frame interpolation rather than the 120 Hz generally. There should be a way to turn it off.

Turn that motion smoothing shit off.  It's terrible for just about everything.

Gaming on the sucker is beyond impressive though.  The processing effects makes everything seem buttery smooth.

It also can cause input lag problems and weird effects around moving objects.

Finally $30.  Thinking about returning it.  :lol  Game is fucking HARD for series newcomers—as I was warned it would be.  I have until Thursday, so I'll just pound it out until then and see if anything sticks.

Let me know. I might be interesting in buying it off of you.

Ack, only just now saw this.  I ended up returning it last week; haven't felt much like gaming lately, certainly not enough to get any use out of that game.

It's only $33 on Amazon right now, though: http://www.amazon.com/NBA-2K12-Covers-Vary-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0JK38/

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.

will look into all of this, thanks.

is that pouch an issued item? i thought you guys just used a SAW ammo bag to hold your stuff.

I'm not going to lie, I don't recommend that stuff for anyone that's not trained to use it.  I'm not saying it's a bad thing to have handy, but just make sure you're studied up on tourniquet use before you try to apply it in the field.  It would be a shame if you lost your J'O hand when you could have just put a bandage on it.

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.

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 had a lot of credit stock pilled from flipping. Hell I still have close to 4k or so at Amazon and 2k at Bestbuy in just credit from flipping. I stopped though since I realized I wasn't spending the money. Spent some where around 2.5k for 6k in credit and rewards.

I am however gonna go to Ikea to get a new tv stand, desk, bookcase and thats gonna set me back some cash.

The model I got launched at $2k here, then was down to $1400 late in 2011 and is being cleared out now for around $900. Manufactured in May 2011 too. The 50" version was probably only another $200 more but my place isn't big enough for it.

you made a wise choice with that particular plasma. I prefer the sharpness of the LED's but I would have bought a Panny if I was ok with plasma. Be careful with the burn in on games with static huds. Its still a big issue even when you use the software provided in the tv to "fix" burn in.

Same, I think mine was $5k at launch and it was about $3k when I bought (this was a few years ago).  I actually got it for $2100 because I ordered a 42" but there was a big mess up with availability and I got a free upgrade to the 50" equivalent. :dur

Yeah break her in slowly that's the best way. I broke my LED Sammy in slow and the blacks are even blacker than when I first started her up. By some small miracle the micro dimming didn't ruin the light bridge where the two points meet. Hope I'm that lucky with the new sammy that's coming.

For sure.  Although as far as I know if you are displaying full-screen moving content it's best to put it up to normal contrast in order to age the phosphors as much as possible.  Or use retina burn mode if your eyes can take it and you don't care what's on.

You want to get the phosphors past their fast-aging early life and into the slow-aging life.  In an ideal world I guess you'd put it on a super bright white screen for the first few hundred hours.  No idea how long the fast-aging period is on modern plasmas but when I was buying it varied anywhere from the first 200-1000 hours, and I'm guessing it's probably similar nowadays.

Years ago I bought a sammy plasma and I can't remember exactly, but within the first maybe 10-20 hours of owning the TV I displayed white menu items for a bit too long (like 3 hours, I got absorbed by Smackdown vs Raw character creator...).  Luckily it was only temporary image retention as it took about 20 hours of leaving snow on overnight to get rid of it.  So they can probably handle a bit of punishment early on, but definitely best to be careful.

Sorry if I just said a bunch of stuff you already know.  I still get carried away while talking about TVs. :-[

Came with a copy of Avatar 3D so it's not all good news :gloomy

I have a 60" Panasonic plasma TV.  It's fucking fantastic.

Kinda wished I hadn't bought the last one since once I examined the contents more closely, I saw the majority of it was reprints of stuff I already have in other collections, but the other two look pretty good, especially the Joshi one.

buy The Weird.

(http://geeksyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/the-weird-cover-jeff-ann-vandermeer-corvus-book-540x720.jpg)

Quote
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.

it's 1200 pages.  I imported my copy before there was an announcement of the American release.  It is fucking amazing.

I have never understood the Pachinko-on-console genre, but I have an even more difficult time grokking westerners who import them. I've bought a mess of them for friends -- I think it's an ownership/completionist thing in their case.

Bestbuy fucked up my Witcher 2 and cancelled my preorder at 5am today for instore pick up. So I had to go to the store at opening to get the game. Rolled in got it and the tshirt then tried to purchase it. The damn system at Bestbuy was fucked and wouldn't let me purchase it. So they took a regular edition and charged me for that. And to top it off they gave me $20 off anything I wanted in store. Since I was also in there for Mission Impossible I got that. They even wanted to give me a penny back since it was $19.99.

I later got a  OG witcher 2 for PC at target for $19.99 which gets a free upgrade to the enhanced edition from GOG.com.

It's such a reliable little workhorse.  I do wish I had gotten the previous years version with the straight serrations and metal trigger though.  I know they say polymer triggers are reliable and such but I just hate having a plastic trigger.  I'll go a smith soon and see how much for a proper trigger job.  I'd like it to be a bit lighter anyways.  I can apparently get it down to around 3 lbs which just springs but I'll see what my options are.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Groogrux on May 01, 2012, 07:03:31 PM
I can definitely see the want/need for the metal trigger.  Of course, you could take some weight off by going down to the regular clip instead of the extended one. :lol

But my god, isn't that just the most comfortable gun you've ever held? 
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Mupepe on May 01, 2012, 07:13:34 PM
It really is, but the problem is that it's only super comfortable when I have the extended mag in.  It's too small for my hands otherwise.  :(  But even with the 10 round mag the trigger pull seems a bit janky.  I love the gun though so I'll find a nice balance somehow
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Groogrux on May 01, 2012, 09:24:17 PM
Yeah, I was the same way with it.  I didn't like the feel of it without the extended mag.  That would only be a problem in California though...

I changed the spring and did a of DIY mod and the trigger pull was lightened quite a bit. Im guessing 3 or 3.5 lbs. Still not as smooth as a 1911 but it's much better now. Im gonna also pick up a s&w shield, Beretta nano or (preferably) a colt mustang if I can find it. Just something for ccw during summer months. I'll be getting a colt cco or defender for fall/winter later.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: drew on May 06, 2012, 04:23:36 PM
changing anything from factory on a ccw piece is I'll advised, if you ever did have to use it that can and will be used against you if you go to court. I'd recommend reading some Massad Ayoob.

anyways s&w's new shield is something I'm thinking about too.  I hear it has a glock tier trigger. IMO the nano is overpriced. if you don't care about an external safety take a look at the keltec pf9, which can be had for under 300, also tale a look at rugers sr9c, which also has an awesome trigger, an external safety and hold 10 rounds flush and 17 extended which you said you like.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Mupepe on May 07, 2012, 09:12:01 AM
The Keltec just doesn't fit my hand well.  It's not comfortable for me at all.  The Nano is a bit overpriced.  It's on the low side of my list.  But I hear it's a pretty damn good shooter.  I haven't run into one in the wild here though so I haven't gotten a chance to check it out myself. 

I don't mind changing anything on my CCW.  None of the mods I'm making make me uncomfortable to take out as my CCW.  If I end up using it a lighter trigger pull isn't going to factor in.  That seems like it'd be an issue with a AD or ND.

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.

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.

pay the 35 for the ic diamond application. also, 80-90's a BIT hot, but acceptable overall for a performance laptop. i'm going to disable turbo boost, which should peel off 5-8c. without turbo boost, my old m14x ran around 85c on the cpu at max load (gpu wasn't bad, and i expect the 650m shouldn't be bad either), but when i disabled turbo boost, it never broke 78c. notebookreview.com says the heat doesn't appear to be a problem unless numbers scare you.

looking at posted furmark and prime95 benches for heat, it doesn't even run as hot as my m14x AFTER all my mods (repaste, repipe, custom bios). no worries there, then.

Excellent laptop but isn't 11.6" too small for gaming? It's almost iPad size...

I'm getting it to replace my netbook and be a portable games machine.

Also why I'm thinking about getting the 90w psu over the included 120w.  From what I understand it should be fine unless you want perform intensive operations while charging the battery.  Or I'll just get both.  The 90w psu is smaller.

Love the 11.6" size of that Sager and the price doesn't seem too bad.  Would love to buy it but can't afford to shell out all the cash for it at once.  May have to look into whatever payment plan options are being offered, but I think the wife would kill me.   :(

I'm actually a fan of the low tech Kindles and Nooks more that I am the tablet versions.  If I'm going to get a tablet, I'm going to get a nice one with all the bells and whistles for a little more money that does all the same things the reader tablets do and more.  Plus, the tablets are hard to read in any setting that isn't indoors, and they give me a headache if I try to read on one before bedtime.

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.

Blazer seems to be gone from the site.  I had to order a small length so it might be going back anyways but there was a 30% off deal yesterday so it was worth it.  My two favorite shirts are BB but I had to get my grandma to extensively tailor 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.

Tread carefully with online MTM especially with a first suit as you will likely fuckup the meazurements and frustrate yourself. Start brick and mortar and go from there IMO.

You need to go with plasma if your gonna game. LED's at that level are just horrible. If you spent a bit more you could get into some great low end plasma's.

this would be my choice:

Not my favorite so far- it stays true to the obvious theme of the album, but at the very least- its a grower. Also i've noticed their releases have sounded more and more like Emily's solo albums- which isnt what I buy Metric albums for

I also purchased this. I was loving it, and then got about 8 tracks in and was a little bored. I like Metric a lot, and suspect this will grow on me.

I've already climbed the worlds tallest recorded Dinosaur today now I'm going the height of the empire state building.

Also got something for the car since I got popped for using a cell phone via speakerphone. Love the BT stuff in this and it made my stock speakers sound better. But now my fronts are out doing my rear's so I gotta put some kicker's in the back to balance it out.

What router is that?  It looks tight.

(http://www.abload.de/img/rt-n66uec8p.jpg)

I got the ASUS RT-N66U a couple weeks ago.  It works well but the interface isn't as smooth as Cisco's.  Also, I expected the 5ghz signal to be stronger.  It's better than my old WRT-610N but not by much.  Maybe I just need a range extender?

Its the netgear R6300 its a fantastic router with a full suite of applications so you can control it from your smartphone/tablet/pc. I've found the Net Genie stuff is the best software of all the routers I've tested. It's smart too and actually know's what each device is which is nice especially since we have ip camera's all over the place and just about everything is wireless. The range is the real deal I used to have that specific ASUS model but found the range lacking so I went with the Netgear N600 which gave me better range. But then I set this baby up and it's like night and day. Area's I was getting 20% signal are now getting 90% signal. And that's still using 2.4ghz wifi N.

It's an SE.  We couldn't find an SES in Houston either.  Apparently there are only two other Fiestas in Houston (told this by multiple dealerships).  And finding a manual would have taken even longer so we said screw it and got it.  My wife loves it anyways.  It's a fun little car.

Do you mean your erection lasted several hours later, or that it was delayed several hours later?

Full price, alas, but supporting a local comic shop:

And...
(http://i.imgur.com/W1Rru.jpg)

US$125 for high-mileage oil (someone tell me this is a crock, please), and oil filter. Declined all the other stuff.

My used Subaru's oil light came on while driving across the Santa Cruz Mountains on Hwy 17 --- Not where I want to see a service light blinking.

On the bright side, apparently my crap oil or oil level or something was affecting performance; the car is running much better than before.

You got shafted. I get a full synthetic oil change for $55. Back with my old car, normal 5W30 oil change was less than $30.

"High Mileage" is just marketing.

Crap.

Actually, it was $55 for the oil and filter, and then some other stuff. I cannot for the life of me recall what the additional money was for. I think it was another $55 for maybe an air filter, and $10 for the oil disposal? Crap. I'm just guessing here. I was so panicked about the oil lamp, I was just like "Yes, yes! Do it! Fix my car now!"

Great choice dude! I had them make me a reinforced bike, such an easy company to deal with. I had worked out the trouble area's and they worked on it for me without much extra cost.

Did you end up going disc brakes? I did and its such a great improvement. Not as dramatic of a stop allows you to slow down when going down hill without being thrown over the front fork. I'm working on climbing endurance near the santa cruz mountains took highway 9 last thursday had the missus follow me just in case I couldn't make it, I made it all the way to the boardwalk!

I honestly have no idea what the brakes are...I bought this thing from amazon on my phone while waiting for a train :lol  The family and I had just trekked out to this big bike shop and I couldn't find anything quite right, though the Louis Garneau models they had were the closest. The wife was getting stressed so I just said fuck it and got something that looked cool. Reading the manual now :hyper
 
I live in the city so won't be doing much serious biking on it I'm afraid...unless i get the bug and start taking it on the train out of town etc. It's actually kinda tempting.

if they are in the center of the tire they are disc based if they are above the tire and clamp they are not. You should definitely take it out for a spin in the hills. Your legs might not thank me but your bike will.  :lol

Bought it at a little hipster store in OKC. It's made by a company called United by Blue and apparently part of the purchase price went to taking a pound of trash out of US waterways. That feel. 8)

Oh, also bought this cool tee there to wear at the gym:

I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world but I wanted the Pro over the Air because of its FireWire port , Ethernet port, DVD drive, and yes, I needed the 15" screen for my design work.

Plus, my MacBook Pro has 750 GB of storage space. Which I need because I have to store many large PSD and Illustrator files on it.

On another note...  :-\  It seems that my MacBook Pro has been crashing whenever I'm using Google Chrome...

Where did you find that lens? I've been looking for something like that for a while now for my D90. The Nikon lenses are nice but I have been longing for some older lenses cause they usually have much better optics in them.

How do you like the alphas? I want to get into the micro's but till canon makes a real one I'm not jumping on board. I had a J1 for a while cause my 3100 fried and I wanted to kill someone that was a real piece of shit.

I bought it off Adorama. Some other good sites are www.keh.com and bhphoto. Key prices their used equipment a little higher but they've got a great collection.

About something for your Nikon, that's a bit tough. Basically Nikons are unable to take adapted lenses without actually physically changing the mount. With the NEX you're able to use an adapter. This all has to do with the sensor to mount distance. The NEX series has a short distance, the Nikon a prohibitively longer one.

With that said you can still adapt old school Nikon AI and AIS lenses. There are a couple of gems that can be had on the cheap like their own 28mm f2.8 AIS Nikkor, and the 105mm f2.5 AI which is an amazing portraiture lens. There are also some cheap but great, optically, 50mm lenses to find. So my suggestion is to look at these vintage Nikon lenses.

Not sure if you've played around with focusing manually and using a physical aperture but look into if your camera body can accommodate these old lenses and if it's good for manual shooting.

Yeah, it tracks everything via GPS.
The shoe pod helps for quick starts while it's searching for signal, treadmill running and it stabilizes the pace, since the GPS will make your current pace jump around.

It's a Ruger Mini 14 chambered in .223. The trigger is silver and not showing up against the white wall in that picture. They aren't terribly expensive or cheap but I was able to get it on base so it was tax free.
I took my Mini 14 out shooting this weekend.  Incredibly fun guns and damn good prices.

I couldn't find anywhere that would ship a copy of this to Japan, so I stuck it on my amazon wishlist to jog my memory in case a new edition or something ever came out.  My awesome aunt saw it on the wishlist, bought a copy in an actual store and mailed it to me :bow

Also, I tweeted about it and now Nick Abadzis is following me on twitter and messaged me about it :lol

Bought a 160gig PS3 off a guy, decided I didn't really want it so I'm selling it to a friend for $15 more than what I paid for it.  I'll use the money I saved and pick up a Bluray player tomorrow when I sell it to him.

Also, bought a three pack of Bluray's on Amazon: Firefly, Serenity, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog.

Since I sold the PS3, I picked up a cheap bluray player so I could watch the blurays I ordered.  The came in this morning! :hyper

I was more or less joking about you all being dirty poors. Since I'm not in school right now I can afford somethings since I'm working again. I'm saving right for a new car and for winter-spring school which is good cause that's when I'll be furloughed by the looks. I didn't secure my student loan unfortunately due to things kind of falling apart due to schedule conflicts. But now that I'm taking some of the required course work things should be back on track in 13. I'm looking forward to 2013 lots of good things are gonna happen. Heck my 4 months here at work = 12 months at where I was previously in terms of money coming in. It's nice to feel valued again.

Sorry to go off topic and all

Maf just sell the 3d disc off people buy that crap and the digital copies like crazy mad. I know that its not for everyone especially completists.

I don't have a 3D HDTV, and if I did, I'd rather not have to buy tons of glasses if friends decide to come over and watch with us.

Post by: G The Resurrected on September 26, 2012, 02:33:33 PM
If you buy it at target you get the 3d version for the same price as the 2d. Or if your like me you get the coupon from amazon for $5 off when it was first announced for preorder and they happily price match target so you get it for $14.99. MAXIMIZING MY DOLLARS!

heck those 4 tv show's I got at bestbuy came with a $25 giftcard minus that and the potential for price matching in the next 60 days I'll save some money.

Bond is my guilty pleasure though as I already own all of the individual releases on bluray. Its a double dip but one I'm glad to do.

You can buy 8 pairs of Samsung glasses for $49.99 they may be battery operated but they last a long time. Glasses are cheap nowadays that's not a good enough excuse to not invest in 3d. I totally understand if it's not to your liking due to headaches and stuff though. Both of my set's came with 4 pairs of glasses so I've got enough for any party that might come over to my place. 3d is awesome!

Hey MAF, my wife and I were planning on going to see Stars in November at the Showbox. She probably has to go to Boston that week. If she does have to be there that night, wanna go with me and eat some mad gyros before the show?

...for $110 together. The Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Ai. Also the adapter to adapt it to my Sony. This is one of the lenses I originally owned but got stolen. Also, allegedly that same lens was used to shoot this famous photo...

so far it's taken me about two hours to install everything.  i got to load a preprogrammed track and tool around with a scene or two before going to bed so I haven't had much experience with it.  If you've ever used the F1 or X1 controller it feels a lot like that.  I've never used anything like this seriously (being pure software back in the days of Reason 1 when hacked copies of fruity loops were king) so I have a lot to learn before I can really get going with it, but it's a solid piece of kit with a pretty interesting software lay out.

Yeah, it's a ribbon synth. You can't really play melodies with it, the keyboard is too shitty, but it does make some fun noise. What's really cool is that is has a fully analog filter (it's the same like in the old MS 10/20 synths) and you can route audio into it. The filter sounds really smooth, better than my softies or those of the Pioneer DJ Mixers. Only downside is that the output is rather noisy, so you can't really use it in productions.

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.

Also I work at MS, so read some other reviews too so you dont feel like yer gettin splashed with kool aid

Picked up two pair of Nike Free Kukini, the most comfortable shoe in the world. I got the black-on-black ones, and the blue-on-red, which make me feel like Spider-Man.

Hey Businessman, what was the store called where you bought that fly green canvas bag?  If I buy one now from the United by Blue site, they won't even ship it until November 25th, and I am in desperate need of a bag for work and such.

They are super comfy. I recommend them highly, and they were cheap on Amazon -- 60 bucks or so, down from 90 something.

I almost got the blue/green ones, but they look like someone sneezed the laces onto them. :yuck


Those soles look like the ones on the Nike SFB combat boots.
:o

I didn't know Nike made combat boots, but I suppose I could have extrapolated that from the Adidas GSG-9 which German special forces use, according to recent William Gibson novels...

It's seriously about time I check this series out:

-I love the whole conspiracy theme, hearing that this game references the Bilderberg Institute (a thing my libertarian alex jones listening truther friend frequently namedrops) sounds awesome
-I love cyberpunk
-Director mentions Suikoden was a big influence on the first game
-Met the art director for the most recent game at a comic-con afterparty last year

If you saw the pic i put of the swelling on my face i put on twitter...that's what i get. Itchiness and swelling. The thin membranes are affected first, as with most inflammations - eyes, mouth, ears etc...but I also got it in my feet so bad it was painful to walk at times.

It's fucking crazy considering I ate the stuff daily for most of 4 decades but there you go. It's just like booze - you build up a tolerance to the poison but stop taking it for long enough and your body responds to it badly again.

the online mode is amazingly bad.  why in the flying fuck did they put that in there.  Co-op stuff would be cool (if the game were good) and they should've worked on doing that with good netcode, unlike NGS2.  That would actually play to the strengths of the genre while pushing it forward.  I'd actually play online in a non-fighting game for once.

but no, they had to go and make it this whole suite of bullshit that didn't have a chance in hell of ever being popular.

Gordon Biersch makes the Kirkland Signature beers for Costco, they're really not bad.

Sign up for Untappd, you can see what people near you are drinking, and it helps you find new stuff sometimes.

chrono, add me on Untappd as well, I'm either ldrelick or tiesto643, I forget what one at the moment (I'm on Gundam's friendslist so you can prob find me from there)

Neither of those returned results. Add me! I'm just "chronovore" there as well.

said fuck it and indulged in some video game sales :rock got halo 4, black ops 1, starcraft 2, and 360 expansions for left 4 dead 2 and mass effect 3. GAME ON

I said the same thing the other day and got the Asura's Wrath DLC and the Arkham City Harley's Revenge DLC.

Harley's Revenge is fun, but ultimately quite short.  :(

I had given up on buying fighting games since I never play them anymore even though the fighting game genre used to be my favorite genre.  But when I saw the last year of not-boughten-fighters at discount prices...my will broke :(

Going to invite my 1 fighting game friend over one night and we'll play all these and have AWESOME BEATING UP DUDES times.


The rest of the Black Friday haul (all PC unless otherwise stated):

Dishonored $22.50
Forza Horizon X360 $15
Walking Dead $12.50
Dragon's Dogma X360 $10
Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams $9
Mark of the Ninja $7.50
Deponia $7
Orcs Must Die 2 Complete $6.50
Spec Ops: The Line $6
Fear 3 $5
Hotline Miami $5
Tony Hawk HD $5
To the Moon $3.39

Spent about $180 total on myself (and then more on xmas gifts for others).  Not a bad haul.  Just gotta find the time to play some of those!

Decided not to upgrade my GTX 460 yet, hoping it doesn't bottleneck the whole system...we shall see. Also debating on OS (leaning towards win8) and whether or not to get another monitor lol.

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.

Not much to see, really.  It's quite literally a grocery list—basic essentials for a fresh start at the new job.  Some washed shirts, some ugly socks, a scarf (that I'm probably going to return tomorrow evening), and a bunch of 484 chinos in various colors.  I'm thinking of returning a pair for some cords now that you mention it, sale be damned.

If you're a 10+ the Alden 405's are $360ish, and about as cheap as you will ever get them. The Barbour bedale waxed jacket is another good buy IMO.

ONTRAC is the rogue element of Amazon's shipping system- before them was errr DHL I think? FedEx has got a little weird too- they do weird cost saving through USPS so it MAY come on a fedex truck but MAY get delivered by USPS. I got my Black Lagoon bluray set so wheeeee

I could never figure out why people would buy movies or TV shows from iTunes until I got an AppleTV unit. Now I'm able to watch my stuff on my iPhone, iPad, TV, or computer whenever and wherever I want, and Apple isn't giving me any shit about my physical location, unlike Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video (including shows I purchased, not just their free streaming stuff!), and Zune/Microsoft Xbox Video.

I could likely get much better here but the world of Japanese knives is impenetrable to me, and this was highly recommended by Tim Ferriss (or to be more accurate, the many experts he polls).

The gear section in his new book is pretty handy - i picked up a bunch of stuff like the Polder thermometer, the microplane, the juicer and the Hario coffee grinder. The last is the only disappointment so far but it was only $30. The thermometer is a game-changer
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Cormacaroni on December 05, 2012, 01:07:27 AM
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?

recommend me one! They all look the same when viewing online. There is actually a part of the city where there is a cluster of shops that specialize in cooking gear, but I'm never in that area.

I think you'd get something out of 4 Hour Body at least. He throws a lot of shit at the wall and I am by no means vouching for all of it. But the reason I am at home right now instead of in a cubicle is largely Tim Ferriss, and he gets a lifetime pass from me for that. I'd rank him up there with Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson for people who have influenced my lifestyle.

And hey, I learned how to make bacon-infused whiskey from his latest. And made Irish Coffee with it. So there's that :rock

Cool, they have it on amazon japan for about the same as the US price. Bought. It's a different profile from the Wusthof so should get use out of both.

A nice recent discovery is that Xbox Media Center partially supports AirPlay now, very handy for surfing youtube on the big screen (although there are of course many other ways). Weirdly it supports video + audio, but not audio streams alone.

I have the Global 8" chef knife. On Amazon it's called a G-2. I highly recommend it and so does Anthony Bourdain.

been using it for a few days and it is SCARY MARY. Works basically like a light saber. Being super-careful with it. But it is awesome, thanks!

I am probably going to grab TDKR on iTunes, having somehow missed its theatrical run when I was in the USA.

I could never figure out why people would buy movies or TV shows from iTunes until I got an AppleTV unit. Now I'm able to watch my stuff on my iPhone, iPad, TV, or computer whenever and wherever I want, and Apple isn't giving me any shit about my physical location, unlike Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video (including shows I purchased, not just their free streaming stuff!), and Zune/Microsoft Xbox Video.
Same. Will probably get it on iTunes as well. You have airvideo right? If not, look into it.
You mean AirPlay, right? I've got all the items I mentioned, and turning on home sharing turns on airplay for that. I've also just figured out how to get AirPlay running from my iPad and iPhone to the AppleTV.
no no, airvideo...

with apple tv and an idevice it becomes godly

Wow, looks great! Thanks!

yes. this. i would never allow a kitchen knife into my home. never cut myself actually cutting food but its just by doing stupid shit like opening up packages. i will never have the same level of use in my left thumb as I did before, it bothers me every day. be careful.

I've been looking to get some knives, but I already have Cutco. What is the advantages of owning a Global or a Henckels knife over my Cutco?

And yes scary knives are scary. I was left to open a package with some of the Cutco scissor knives, and damn near took off my right index finger. Still years later the scar goes all the way around my finger almost.

Glad you like the knife, Cormac. I don't know what to say about everyone else's comments about knives in here. Wouldn't let a kitchen knife into your home? Opening packages with one? Wearing a protection glove? Too much SMH here to comment.

I had a real chef (not a cook, a lead chef at a major hotel in Tokyo) give me a knife skills demo once (he taught me how to prep veggies for soup, getting everything equal size...) and he said for safety reasons, he strongly PREFERS the sharpest knife possible, because instead of catching on something like an avocado seed and going in an unintended direction (i.e. into your thumb), it will just go straight through. So long as I use the correct hand position, which I think I do, I feel comfortable with it. It helps a lot that I don't have mountains of veggies and meat to prep every day, so I can concentrate long enough to get the job done safely. My wife and child have been strongly warned away from it though.

Yeah, I have been looking for a magnetic strip to hang above our stove area. It's tiled though so can't just screw something in unfortunately. Would love to hang pots and pans and stuff up there too. I got a whetstone today too, looking forward to practising on some of our shitty old knives (my wife insists on using this one she'd had for over a decade that is basically just a lump of steel with a handle at this point)

I've been looking around the local stores where I live for a magnetic strip and can't find one.  Guess I'll either have to make one myself or buy it off Amazon.

In other news, I picked up TDKR on Blu-Ray.  Shit's pretty sweet.

Can you get youtube 3d working?  I can't seem to get the driver to recognize it. 

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.

It may have been part of the driver bundle. It works perfectly although obviously depends on the bitrate of the rip. And there are a bunch of different ways to encode 3D rips so it was a pain to configure.

Tell me about that grinder. Do you recommend it?

It is very nice although can get a bit messy. I had a Japanese blade grinder before that was actually very solid, but everyone says burr grinders are the only way to go for consistent results so I took the plunge. The Gaggia was actually way cheaper than the one I had before (a Kalita).

I've only had it for a week but it seems a solid upgrade, and can grind way finer than I need it too - fine enough for Turkish coffee, which would choke any espresso machine. My old one could not, and had far fewer increments.

Are you looking for semi automatic? or do you want a fully automatic? Do you want a steamer/frother?
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Groogrux on December 17, 2012, 10:44:42 PM
Burr grinders are the way to go.  I've had a GE burr grinder for the last 4-5 years and I wouldn't part with it for the world.  Granted, it doesn't grind as fine as yours (I'm jelly that you can make your own Turkish), but it was cheap and it does the job.

As far as an espresso machine, I've got one that I'm not proud of in any way.  It was a wedding gift from years ago and I used it a few times before I realized it was junk.  When I want espresso I just go to Starbucks.  I will be interested to know what you get and how well you like it though.

As for me, I want to try some different brewing methods and see how they make the coffee taste.  Has anyone here ever tried or owned a mocha pot, a vacuum pot, or a Chemex before?

Don't give a crap about steamers/frothers. Semi-automatic - yes but prepared to deal with more hassle for awesome espresso. Automatics are probably way out of my price range, and I can't get into stuff like re-plumbing the whole kitchen for the water supply.

I had a Hario vacuum pot for a while, 'til it got smashed. It's fun but a lot of grief. I use Hario stuff for pourover coffee though (I have a Hario Mini Mill and V60 brewer, both great).

The machine I have can actually do shots just as good as I usually get at Starbucks. But I want the kind of shots I would get from a sweaty hairy Italian man with his shirt slashed open to his midriff

I have a Gaggia Platinum (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Gaggia-90901-Platinum-Automatic-Espresso/dp/B001G8Y1QO/ref=sr_1_34?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1355806300&sr=1-34 (http://www.amazon.com/Gaggia-90901-Platinum-Automatic-Espresso/dp/B001G8Y1QO/ref=sr_1_34?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1355806300&sr=1-34)) and I've had a Gaggia Evolution before that (plumbing problems in 3 months of regular use). Personally I think it all comes down to the grind and the temperature. Experiment with how you grind and look for a really hot machine. If you continue to grind it a certain way your only going to get that same taste. That's why Starbucks tastes like Starbucks, and why Peets tastes like Peets.

I think your going the right route with the Gaggia's cause if it breaks down and have a Starbucks in your area you have a service person near by.

Personally I think these are the best you could buy right now:

Cheers! Will take a look at all of those.

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

Went out for lunch yesterday and bought a 64GB ipad 4 for no reason other than it was there.  I guess it was time to upgrade since I just have an ipad 2 but all I'm really using it for anymore is the internet and that was more than fine.  The new one is a hell of a lot faster though and difference between my old ipad and the new one with the lightning cable when I was updating and transfering files was pretty eye opening.  It's like going from dial-up to broadband.

So, i'm probably gonna go for the Gaggia Classic espresso machine. It's going to be way the hell cheaper to import - Amazon ships it globally relatively cheaply, and the high yen makes it a steal. It's also nice and small and suits my limited needs - espresso only for me only, pretty much. Don't need to be pulling 20 shots in a row for dinner parties any time soon. It seems like you can do some pretty awesome shots with practice, good beans and good grind.

After nearly six years, I've finally left the iphone pool and wandered into the android wilderness.  Bought a Galaxy Note II the other day.  This thing is HUGE.  It's kind of weird having people come up to me and ask me about it when I don't even know what I'm doing on it.  I feel like a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.   But people definitely notice this thing.

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.

good man, joining team android

feels like getting how a mac user must feel the first time they touch a pc

once you realize how easy it is to share files, stream material, move around your files, change your theme, etc etc ETC, you'll wonder how you lasted so long in iprision

Tell me about it.  It's hard leaving the iphone behind.  I've spent so much time with that thing and there's been a few moments that I grabbed my wife's iphone just because I'm so familiar with it.  It's like I've developed  Stockholm Syndrome.  I really do love the Galaxy Note II though.  It's a pretty impressive device, I especially dig the stylus.  I just hope I can eventually get to the point where I'm not looking around for Angie's phone.

Bought seasons 3, 4, and 5 of 30 Rock, because Tina Fey.

Bought BBC Sherlock "boxed set" on iTunes ( ??? ), but it doesn't have Closed Captioning, and the UK accent is difficult for my wife to follow, so now I'll be renting it from the video store as well.  :maf

Bought a Revoltech Tachikoma, in yellow. It was this, or Kotobukiya's series of modular mechs.

This is one of the big reasons I don't switch to iPhone.  I've got so much stuff set up for my Android that I would hate to have to go and recollect/repay for all of it again on a different OS. 

Those Galaxy Notes are sexy though.  I would love to have one, but the carrier I'm switching to doesn't carry them... :(

I kind of gave up importing for most of last year outside Ys and SRW, especially the 2nd half because my tastes having been skewing more and more toward western/Euro games on PC like Sleeping Dogs, Hotline Miami, Giana Sisters, Walking Dead, etc...

But Play-Asia was having a sale so I AM BACK IN THE UGUU.  Plus new Nippon Ichi game came out like same day as the sale and it wasn't "Let's try to save our company by releasing another Disgaea" so I had to support them on that.  No idea when I'll time to play any of these, but they'll look tempting on the shelf for the next year.   These are all games that if I had infinite time in the universe I'd actually play.  I beat the original Namco x Capcom, and didn't hate it so I'm down to play the +Sega sequel.  I like Layton a lot (though still need to play Layton 5 on 3DS) and like the cast of PW more than the actual games they are in so Layton x PW is a fanservice I can get behind.  I was a big Tales fan until I never finished Xillia.  But I'll get back and finish that one day and play this sequel.  And I passed on Bravely Default at launch since it was the spiritual sequel to 4 Warriors of Light which was kind of bad, but I hear BD is pretty darn amazing and has a fucked up adult storyline, so I gotta find time for that one.

You wash it in literally one minute.  Just pop out the grounds, run hot water to get the rest off, wipe it down with paper towel, done.  Hard to explain without showing, but there's basically no clean up.  The longest part of the whole process of making espresso with it is heating the water.

Yeah, my friend and I played a bit of the 50 Cent game last nite... I am very surprised that it's actually a quality game (considering the subject matter), it's got a high framerate and an actual scoring system, I'd much much rather play this than Gears or Uncharted.

Neptunia 2 looks to be a step up from the first one, which was pure crap.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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." 

No, it is not the same. The publisher and developer theoretically get some money when I buy a new copy.

So I appreciate that you're not pushy about it.

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.

I did this yesterday, it was faboo.

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 back

Yes, I preheat the cup. I don't have a thermometer, may buy one. If you say it makes a big difference, I believe you.

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.

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

The first thing you realize when you get a thermometer is that you have NO FUCKING IDEA what temp things are. Until you start measuring it, you'll be wrong, but think you're right. This applies to cooking as well as coffee. You only get consistent results when you start locking down as many of the variables as you can. Until you have the water temp consistent, you can't start figuring out what kind of grind to use or how long to brew.

Postive Touch - yeah, but I will be making coffee at least 3x a day til the day I die. Why not get better at it every time rather than making it the same way ever day? It's fun

its fun to be ritualistic and weird about coffee.

Making the switch from drip to some kind of press or percolator or espresso maker makes the biggest impact on the flavor, then water temp, brewing time, and amount of grounds can affect it majorly if you majorly screw those up. but otherwise, the switch from using boiling water to perfect 175 degree water is more about feeling like you're doing it perfectly. 

I'd never become snobby about it though...even Folger's is "good coffee" with enough cream and sugar.  And a black cup of crap they serve while you're waiting for your oil change is better than nothing in a pinch.

If I have grounds here, I can take my time and geek out on how I make it.  If I run out and don't get more, it's more about getting caffeine before the headaches hit in the morning.  :lol

Post by: Cormacaroni on February 06, 2013, 12:11:06 AM
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).

I said it's different depending on the device you use, not better or worse.  Depends on the quality of what you're using-- my cuisinart has always been weird and the aeropress instantly beat it.  I'm sure there's some bad ass twenty grand drip machine that runs the coffee over the tits of a virgin before dripping it into the cup.

I'll see if I notice any difference between a perfect temperature cup and one I guesstimate.  They recommend 175 F for the aeropress, so it's a 36 degree difference from boiling.  I don't see how boiling it, then letting it sit off the range for a minute would make the coffee taste like pudding trumpets.

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 said temp is important already...sure if the coffee is at a rolling boil or brewed in luke warm water, it's gonna suck. like i said, I'm gonna get a thermometer and see the difference b/t my guesstimate (boil it, then let it sit for a bit to cool off) and perfect temp.  I said the difference from drip machine to some other kind of press or flask will be more apparent to people than other aspects of the brew, since most people go from a drip machine.

Post by: Cormacaroni on February 06, 2013, 12:53:05 AM
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.

I like the aeropress better for cleanup, and a little for speed, and some for consistency -- those great filtered cups were not as common as they are when I'm using the aeropress. I am not Mr. Science, but I suppose I could be. Not like I'm doing a fuck-tonne of anything else right now.

Oh, um, how about something OT?

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.

I did this yesterday, it was faboo.


ah, that's close to how I do it.  I pre-soak the grounds a bit and pour slowly so they get soaked and I leave it in about 30 seconds, rather than the 10 seconds the instructions say.   The grind is in the water probably close to 40-50 seconds total, now that I think about it...

I also like to drip some water on the filter after I set it, to make sure it stays in place and covers the bottom fully.  This helped me save all but about half an inch of water when I brew it.

Yeah, the default instructions for the Aeropress result in very underbrewed coffee. It's nice and clean-tasting (largely free of oils and sediment) and my wife likes it. But I require a headier, darker brew. I like my coffee like I like my men, dark, strong and rich. Gonna try the inverted technique with a 1 minute brew and hotter water today (the 80 deg. C temp makes no sense to me, no other coffee is brewed at this temp AFAIK).

The easiest way to heat mugs etc is just to boil more water and fill the cups for a while (before adding the coffee! - yes i have done this :lol). You should heat up the Aeropress too (which is why I was leery about it in the first place, heat and plastic don't mix well with food)

The riffs are SO TINY ON THE SCREEN. Naughty Bear had a 50% metacritic, so F that.

I went a little crazy in the Rock Band Music Store today and spent like $30+ bucks on DLC. What the hell was I thinking? Now I've got pretty much every New Wave track, and some other '80s stuff, and I am now replete with Rob Zombie and White Zombie, except for War Zone, which is just not a good song.

It may even get me playing Rock Band Blitz again, which I apparently logged 84 hours in while pursuing game completion.

Also, on the recent XBLA sale, I got the Alan Wake American Nightmare, EA's Warp, and Hybrid. Prolly should start playing that before the post-sale boom dies off.

Also bitched to Apple that their Sherlock "boxed set" didn't have closed-captioning, and the standard version does, so they ended up refunding my money.

There was a whole passover section at my grocery store, I'll have to look for those. 

Finally, a Jewish tradition that doesn't involve something pretty boring.  I should stock up on this Coke.  It's cheap as hell.

Went out this weekend to buy a new car for my wife 'cause  her car was totaled when she got t-boned at an intersection from some lady that ran a red.  I originally was set on getting a Mazda CX-5 and started negotiating with the dealer but I kinda fucked it up when I walked away from a price I would've accepted but I tried to go lower and went home.  When I went back the next day the car I wanted was gone. Ugh.

So I started looking elsewhere and came across a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe.  I never, NEVER, thought I'd be interested in a Hyundai but I'll be damned if it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.   I was able to get a 3.7 AWD Santa Fe fully loaded with a rear entertainment system for a little over 30k.  Hell, I almost want to get another one so I can drive it more.  Cool car for the family.

No doubt the CX-5 was more fun and I felt like an ass when I wiffed but we really got a lot more for our buck with the Santa Fe like heated leather seats, touch screen audio/GPS, rearview camera,  DVD player with 10"  drop down monitor, bluetooth, etc. 

Not missing the CX-5 at all anymore.

Nice.

The funny thing is that it may even have an XMB-style interface like the PS3. I used one similar in the USA, which was really odd.  It was so sluggish; there is no way it was the most efficient choice for the device.

the price on high quality ak's hasn't gone up all that much really, a brand new arsenal cost 900-1100 before the crazyness began.  now a piece of shit chink WASR goes for a grand, this was a killer fucking deal and would have made me set in the shade drinking cold ass lemonade on the rifle front, my brethren.

luckily i got 500 rounds of 7.62 before the craziness began (got it for $109, now it goes for $378 :-X).  So I'm gonna go shoot it this weekend at the range, in Maumee they have a nice new range called shooters that is the only place from Detroit to Columbus where you can shoot a rifle indoors.  Right now I'm just having fun rocking mags in and looking at the craftsmanship, a milled receiver means it was carved out of a solid block of steel, most AK's are stamped from sheet metal.

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.

don't know if you caught the part where i said i bought the ammo at pre panic prices, so its not like i'm blowing hundreds of dollars.  my cousin is gonna give me 200 rounds the next time i see him (he mainly shoots ak74's which are 5.45 x 39 aka the poison bullet from the russian afghanistan war)

the prices will go down, 7.62 is the most produced caliber in the world I believe...

as for bb guns i can and do, have an old crossman with a 4x scope on it that i shoot when i go up to the cabin in michigan, cant shoot it where i am now 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.

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."

WELL, NO. That's why I paid Amazon motherfucking US$72 UP FRONT.

Worse is how they are handling subscribe and save customers now. So say you want to get into a subscribe and save deal, Amazon will tell you when it will ship. Then all of your other S&S stuff will ship on that date. They no longer offer you the convenience to change when things come to you with S&S. You used to be able to tell amazon that you were low on something and they would ship it earlier, but no no not anymore.

Also Amazon has started to use the USPS for some things from prime. They aren't like UPS or even Fedex with packages. They just throw it over the fence or worse bend up my comics and shove it in our mail box. Which end's up costing Amazon more cause I'm not spending money on bent up shit!

I hate to bag on Amazon, but their changes over the last few months have really soured my experience with them. Things that were once easy to deal with now require a lot of hoop jumping. They also question me far too often on my returns with USPS. What more can be said if something is not in new condition when it arrives, I want a new one.

We have requested that they get a new mailbox, but they don't think our mail should be private. Not only is it not big enough for packages, but it's not even locked cause the USPS just leaves it open cause of packages and mailers spilling out. When you find your w2 half a block away cause it was blown out of your mailbox that ain't cool.

I'm gonna continue my decent into madness with Cool as Ice.

This probably isn't worth discussing as you've already ordered but the i5 3570K ($229) beats the FX 8350 pretty easily in gaming performance: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/697?vs=701. This might change if next gen PC games take advantage of more cores but for now Intel is easily the better performance choice.

Found all six seasons of Oz for $20 at a local video place going out of business. While there I overheard some folks talking about Apple TV v Roku; I'm kind of thinking about buying one, once I get a decent TV. Any of you guys use either of those? I don't have cable, not interested in getting it either, but I do have Netflix (and the occasional free Hulu trial).

I'm leaning towards Apple because I could transfer videos from my iPod to the television.

I love my AppleTV to death. You can plug in your Netflix membership and stream through that, as well as YouTube, Hulu, Vimeo, and the sports crap. Anything you've bought on iTunes is also stream-able, and you can use airplay to send stuff from any iOS device running 5 or higher, iirc.

You can also stream your iTunes content from any PC on your local network using Home Sharing. If you listen to music in it a lot, you can access your Apple photo stream, or any RSS feed as a screensaver.

I've not used a Roko.

Roku is nice. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Crunchyroll, all that stuff, and you can stream anything from your PC with Plex.

Ah. Neither Crunchyroll nor Amazon Streaming on AppleTV.

In my case, they'd be blocked by IP address anyway. Amazon doesn't even let me stream tv shows I've purchased and previously seen. It's ridiculous.

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.

 Joy riding on someone else's bike is quite different than actually trying to commute on your own I've found.  I'm in love.

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

Yeah it's rough.  I haven't really taken a look at the adjustments yet, but I believe by default it comes on the setting for my weight range.  Touring springs are 89 bucks and are soft as air.  So I'll just pick those up I think.

Plastic stays work well enough at keeping the collar in shape, but simply don't weigh enough to keep the collar points down in the position they looks best in.

Got an Email from one of my credit card companies, stating that their reward points can now be used on Amazon.  Linked it up and got $430 to use.  Finally bought myself a gaming PC- dirty poor budget version.

http://www.amazon.com/CybertronPC-Escape-GM4222D-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B00A2J4YZG/ref=sr_ob_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368813965&sr=8-1
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71-PVrWr5HL._SX522_.jpg)

I know it's not the best thing out there, but it seems like a good entry-level budget rig.  It's only going to cost me $268, and it's my birthday tomorrow so I know I'll be getting some extra cash anyway.  Will probably get a much bigger HDD ASAP.

As you said, seems like a decent entry-level rig and for $268 it's a sweet deal, but good lord is that thing ugly.

It looks a bit better in person, but yeah- "gaming PC" seems to generally mean "hideous 'aggressive' designs for 13 year olds."  It's just a case and it's gonna be put somewhere out of the way, so it's no big deal to me.

I tried SSF4 Arcade Edition and it ran smooth like butter at 1920x1080.  The Resident Evil Revelations demo was  :o :o :o and also ran on high end settings at 1920x1080.  I didn't think this PC was going to be able to handle games at those resolution settings, TBH.  Now I'm gonna be torn on buying games for PC versus consoles.

Neither SSF4 nor REvelations are particularly demanding though, keep that in mind. Always look at benchmarks to avoid disappointment or spontaneous GAS (gear acquisition syndrome).

(http://i.imgur.com/HnT4bhn.jpg)
Two HTC one's one black(mine) the other silver. For $79 after 2 year contract, plus I get $125 bucks in google play per phone, and best of all no tax! Fuck you very much california where it legal to charge tax on a item based on "actual cost," we all know those phones don't  really cost $799.

Oh I also got some Dogfish Head as a treat for the 4th. Got a 4pack of these:

This is a strange one, I inadvertently found out that if you drink this and have a peanut butter cookie it tastes like PB&J. Not very sweet, but you will noticed the sweeter notes.

Not pictured is the soda stream... Don't buy one if you have animals. The noise from the fucking thing scared the literal shit out of our cats. Thank god I got it from costco, it's going back. Soda wasn't bad though!

I've been needing a new headset for a while, my old one pops and wearing it for more than an hour feels like being raped in the ear by satan. I also needed a new drive for a my "media"* to live on, so that I could free up my main drive for TEH STEAM.

I have the D series from 2 years ago and it's a horrible piece of crap that keeps changing inputs and audio problems with the rear channels. How does this one do in comparison? Worth a shot or get a refund and buy something else?

Foam is just as bad as far as keeping them clean. That shit is going to be grimy as fuck, especially if you use them in summer.

Leather or synthetic leather is better, though even the latter will get brittle and break down after a while. Anything you can wipe down after use is better in the long term.

I've only thumbed through it briefly, but it seems great. I wish it was a hardcover though. The binding is a bit flimsy.

Recently I bought a Nokia 521 and a Nook HD+. For being some of the cheapest options in their respective categories I am very happy with both :)

The Nook HD+ screen is good and the build feels solid, a little heavier than I would like. The google play integration seems flawless and I haven't had any issues buying, downloading or updating any apps (even installed the kindle app :-[). I grabbed a few games and they all run fine. The nook interface could be faster and it takes a second to open the app drawer instead of the split second I imagine the Nexus is. Minor complaints aside its a great tablet for $150.

The nokia is nice also. The camera is much better than I expected (which probably says more about the smart phone cameras I am used too rather than the quality of the camera itself). Windows phone has a slick interface and all the nokia apps are top notch. I really like Nokia Transit (too bad the buses never run on time :-\). The app store could be better but otherwise its probably the best phone under $150. I never liked the cheap $99-$150 android phones I've tried. I mean if you have the money might as well go with the Nexus 4/5 but I'm pretty happy with my purchase

I wish windows phone had a great podcast app though. After some online research I picked the best reviewed app and its still pretty shitty.

I think it's funny that they're marketing a hole in a rag as some sort of patent-worthy innovation. I'm sure the cloth is fine for breathing through without ice build-up or whatever, but that's not enough. They have an Airhole(tm). For breathing.

Post by: drew on January 09, 2014, 06:41:08 PM
yeah but you can't sip or smoke through a regular cotton one, and the material is much MUCH thinner on this as opposed to a fleece so it doesn't choke you when you inevitably pull the thing off your face and around your neck.  Also your breath can get trapped and creep up to your goggles over time and fog you up...also, maybe most important of all, is that with a regular cotton/polartech tube mask you can't look like: a shark, McCully Culkin, Chewbacca. Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, etcetera and etcetera with one on as seen HERE http://airholefacemasks.com/unisex/

Got a Kindle Paperwhite recently.

I admit that I was very ignorant about Kindles.  I assumed that reading from my phone or my laptop was good enough.  The screen is clear but without being too bright, which lets me read more and more at night.  I've been reading a lot more since I got it and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up sooner.

Epic Mickey 2 to co-op with my kids, US$18 at a non-Gamestop reseller (woot!)
SJG's Zombie Dice and "expansion set" - did anyone else know Santa Cruz' longest running game store went out of business last year? I am sad.
Latest 3 trade paperbacks of The Walking Dead and Invincible because: dat Kirkland
Blood Stone 007 - How disappointed am I going to be with this game?
3 bombers of unattainable-in-Osaka good beer which will show up soon in my Untappd feed

From what I've seen/played of Blood Stone, it's just a generic shooter with bits and pieces taken from more popular action-adventure games. Please post your impressions in the "what are you playing?" thread once you've finished it, though! I'd like to know if it's worth seeing to the end.

Yeah, that's what the reviews I read said, while standing there in the aisle, waffling on whether or not to get it. I'd been looking for it for a long time; this was actually an Osaka purchase, having been unable to find it at any of the shops I hit in California.

The consensus is that the driving is better than the cover shooter/CQC stuff, which is too easy and derivative. I dunno, I'm OK with content tourism in a Bond game. I'll post impressions as I play.

when calibrated correctly they can look great, but side by side with a samsung/etc you can tell the difference in the black levels

oh and fuck a 32", had one for years and got a 40" for xmas and I could never go back, even in my tiny room.  for a living room I would go 50+

Since we got our 4k Samsung a few months ago I've been in desperate need of a new sound system to get rid of my home theater in a box we had. So I went ahead and bought a bunch of stuff to get into the 4k mood.

Ended up with this setup:

Bluray player: Oppo BDP-103D
Receiver: Yamaha Aventage 730 7.2 4k receiver
Speakers/Sub: Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 5.1
Cables: Monoprice 12 gauge 100 foot spool, 24k banana plugs, 6 hmdi cables,  and bunch of wire hiders to hide the cords.
Misc: Theater curtains for our living room window. Sound dampening foam sheets for the ceiling and speakers.
Extra: getting rid of this piece of this piece of shit that isn't working.

I should have everything before this weekend so I know what I'll be doing. Can't wait to get my first noise complaint

Also got some other stuff:

Doctor Who:
Day of the Doctor w/ Slipcase and Collectible Cards Blu-ray
The time of the Doctor w. Slipcase Blu-ray
South Park: The Stick of Truth Grand Wizard Edition 360
South Park guide (hilarious in its own right!)
Venture Bros Season 5 Blu-ray
Gravity 3d Blu-ray (blind bought it since I found it for $14.99 at target)
Dark Souls 2 360 for a person I know that recently got fucked over
Proactiv +
Gameboy Color with new case and new backlit screen
A new device I'm testing from Cupertino


I took ownership of some furniture from my local Starbucks, the manager was going to throw out a new set since it didn't fit in the store. So I now have a freaking place to eat once I get the area prepped. I also took a high chair set and the standing table for them and two varisimo coffee makers.

Thank you Obamabucks! I didn't owe shit this year after some careful deductions and itemizations.

The answer to that question was in my post. I got my tax refund for this year and instead of spending it all I gave myself a budget. So I set aside half of it and spent the rest to stimulate the economy a little.

Get low-profile ram. The heatsinks on those don't do shit and only get in the way with coolers. Won't matter if you have one of those Corsair watercoolers, but in case you don't (you're not going to use the stock cooler, are you? <.<), something like this will be A-OK:

Buy a decent brand PSU (Seasonic brnd and Seasonic manufactured units) if you're going to splurge. Are you going SLI, or will the PNY replace your other 780 Ti?

Post by: Joe Molotov on March 09, 2014, 03:26:07 PM
The heat fins are removable on those sticks, so I think they'll be alright. No SLI for now, this is only 780 Ti I have, so it's just gonna be flying solo.

I guess it's just because of the neat cover, I don't think any of the stories are particularly rare (The Colour out of Space obviously isn't). The selection is pretty good, though.

Edgar Allan Poe, "MS. Found in a Bottle"
Bram Stoker, "The Squaw"
Ambrose Bierce, "Moxon's Master"
Ambrose Bierce, "The Damned Thing"
Ambrose Bierce, "An Inhabitant of Carcosa"
R. W. Chambers, "The Repairer of Reputations"
M. P. Shiel, "The House of Sounds"
Arthur Machen, "The White People"
Algernon Blackwood, "The Willows"
Henry James, "The Jolly Corner"
Walter de la Mare, "Seaton's Aunt"
H. P. Lovecraft, "The Colour Out of Space"

I'm familiar with Pierce's "Damned Thing" and "Carcosa" and Chamber's King in Yellow stuff. Most of the rest sounds familiar, but I haven't read it.

Edgar Allan Poe, "MS. Found in a Bottle"  <-- good
Bram Stoker, "The Squaw" <-- ok.
Ambrose Bierce, "Moxon's Master" <-- good
Ambrose Bierce, "The Damned Thing" <-- very weird. have to keep in mind the psychology of the time period as to why somethings would happen the way they do
Ambrose Bierce, "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" <-- good
R. W. Chambers, "The Repairer of Reputations" <-- u already know
M. P. Shiel, "The House of Sounds" <-- have read the purple cloud by him, but not this
Arthur Machen, "The White People" <-- white people, amirite?
Algernon Blackwood, "The Willows" <-- love it.
Henry James, "The Jolly Corner" <-- love it
Walter de la Mare, "Seaton's Aunt" <-- not a huge fan of this but i haven't read it in a while.
H. P. Lovecraft, "The Colour Out of Space" <-- who?

I'm familiar with Pierce's "Damned Thing" and "Carcosa" and Chamber's King in Yellow stuff. Most of the rest sounds familiar, but I haven't read it.

Well, I've tried to watch some of the classic anime. I've gone through Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and about half of the Studio Ghibli movies. They're quite good but most of the time I would rather watch a non-animated movie. I'm not into Pixar or DreamWorks movies either even though I loved the Disney classics growing up.

cut for size; why the hell is this pic bigger than the phone?

iPhone 5S 32GB, after dealing with a 16GB 4S for the last two years. Having 32GB is nice but I haven't even pushed new stuff onto it yet; so far, the biggest improvement is not worrying about my battery CONSTANTLY.

The prints come from a guy on Flickr by the name of Floodspectre. He's got a bunch of cool stuff on his page. The booth itself where I bought them was from Puccoon Racoon Jewelry  (https://www.facebook.com/PuccoonRaccoon) the exhibitor sells custom casting jewelry of which I bought a set of earrings for the gf.

If you wanna know more about the kind of stuff my gf does PM me since I'd rather not post her info publicly here.

Discounts on hardware are pretty trivial and they don't get them for employees until later. I just bought one at the store. Discount would only have been like 50 or 100 bucks, and since I bought mine on opening weekend I got an extra year warranty which is probably worth more than 100 bucks anyway.

It's a seasonal cheese at costco outside of washington. Look for it around october/november time. Flagship is what they usually carry and man does it make for an awesome Mac'n'Cheese.

It's called the exchange.

http://theexchange.com/

There are two of them in Chicago. The one on Belmont has a retro game store close to it called People Play Games:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/People-Play-Games/142415859646
Though honestly I don't think it's as good. Though they do have a lot of Saturn games and I was able to get R.A.D on the PS2 there for $15.

As for the prices:

Growlanser Generations: $25.
Gitaroo Man:$25
Suikoden 4: $20
Rogue Galaxy: $10
Contra SS: $6
Empheral Phantasia: $6
Chrono Trigger (Sealed) $30-I actually did'nt think this was a good deal.

I think the prices are usually fair. The one I go to the most is the one in Wicker Park. Last time I was there they had copies of all the Fatal Frame games, all of the PS2 Suikoden games and the 1st for $40, the Lunar games, all the SMT PS2 games, lots of Dark Cloud 1 and 2, various Sqaure PS1 games with all the FF games sealed(if that matters to you) and some other things I'm sure. The last time I was at the other one up north they had Persona 2 EP. The stock changes pretty regularly as well.

I think I've goten a lot of PS1/PS2 games from them such as:

Resident Evil Dead Aim, Resident Evil Outbreak 1/2, Onimusha DoD, Okami, Viewtful Joe 1/2, Beatdown Fist of Vengence, Clock Tower 3, Star Ocean 3(with the pointless outer box as well!), Romancing Saga PS2, Wild Arms 3/4, Sukioden 3/4/5, Grandia 2/3, Shadow Hearts 1/2, Legend of Legaia 2, Metal Saga, MS Saga, Gungrave 1/2, Evergrace, Ace Combat 4/5, Rez, Space Channel PS2, Urban Reign, Art of Fighting Anthology, KoF Max Impact 1/2, Rygar, Fatal Frame 1, Arcana Heart, both Castkevannia PS2 games, Nanobreaker, Neo Contra, Ring of Red, E.O.E, BloodRyane 1/2,  Way of the Samurai 1, Trapt, Samurai Western, Indigo Prophecy, MK Shaolin Monks, Winback 1/2,  Oni, Spy Fiction, Radient Historia, Bushido Blade 1/2, Evil Zone, Galerians Ash, Illbleed, and Soul Blade.

So clearly you can see I've bought some games from there and out of that list Radiant Historia cost  the most $25. Came with the soundtrack though.

So I'm a fan. It's a nice store and they just don't have games. I can't promise they'll have something you want if you were to ever vist, but it's a cool place to visit. Plus, the one in Wicker Park is in a very lively and hip part of town. The one on Belmont is in what we call Boys Town. So I'm sure you'd find some other neat things around them.

That Lufia 2 remake was such a disappointment. Horrible framerate and combat mechanics, and they went ahead and changed much of the plot and character personalities. Shame since the original Lufia 2 is one of my favorites... DQ5 and TWEWY are excellent though, and also pick up Radiant Historia if you haven't.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Rahxephon91 on October 06, 2014, 10:44:07 PM
Yeah I've got Radiant Historia already and the Chrono Trigger DS port.

I'm just going around Gamestop's and picking up these things. They don't have cases, but I can just print out decent covers and then put them in the much nicer 3DS case. In the end the lack of manuals sucks, but I'll deal with it. I mean Glory and Sands may be meh, but they were $3-$5. Lufia was $6 and Solatrobo was $8 which seems like a steal since it goes for about $20 without cart and then much higher for complete.

Next on my list provided no one gets them before me are:
Dragon Quest 4
SMT: Strange Journey
Suikoden Tierkries

I would love to get Infinite Space, but good luck finding that.

360 version of Dragons Dogma was only $11 on sale at GameStop, where it'd been $25 on Amazon, and DD:DA was over $25 both places, so I'll be enjoying the non-expanded goodness.

Also bought a few trade paperbacks at an Idaho chain called Hastings. Death of Spider-Man, Kick Ass 2 hardcover, and one other I can't remember.

Went crazy during the Hellblazer sale on Comixology, thinking I'd have more time to reason the planes between Turkey and Seattle, so now I've got 3GB of Constantine on standby.

GUNDAM PS3 GAMES!!!

Do you already have Unicorn?
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Rahxephon91 on December 10, 2014, 01:56:15 AM
I actually do already have Unicorn. I'm aware that you're a fan of it, but I think I actually like Side Stories a bit more. I know Side Stories is a bit hated, but I don't know I find it fun. There's not much to the game, but flying around with various different MS feels good enough. So it gets the job done.
Title: Re: [WDYB] Things are still being bought!
Post by: Mr. Gundam on December 10, 2014, 11:22:44 AM
I enjoyed Side Stories actually. It and Unicorn are the only two games I've Platinum'd.

There is still a solid group of people who play Battlefield Record UC 0081 online, make sure you check it out.

I bought a handmade biretta (http://cyclingtips.com.au/2012/04/how-to-wear-a-cycling-cap/) and it finally arrived today. Fits my ugly melon of a head perfectly. :lawd

WWWWWWISE FWOM YO' GWAVE!

So, I bought a bunch of perishables in the USA, but I'm excited about a couple of digital purchases:

Animatrix, the only true sequel to The Matrix, is $5 on iTunes right now. It hasn't been on any of the Japanese editions of Netflix or Amazon, despite the films all being free. So I'm STOKED to grab that.

Also grabbed Nidhogg 2, because YAY it's awesome.

Reloaded is fun, but nothing really happens in it. They devote over 7 minutes to a dance sequence in that fucking cave. SEVEN MINUTES.

Revolutions is so far off in the paint, it can't even find its way back to being a Matrix movie.

These are just about all the physical games I picked up over the past five months going through early February.  I left out some titles for the Switch and probably forgot a Limited Run Games release or two.  Got hit big by the collecting bug!  The majority of the older releases shown were found for $15-$20 each on average.  Got more to add to this ridiculous waste of money since then, too.  HELP

Hopefully you'll learn how to draw after examining the works of the master (Kelly).
