[WDYB] Things are still being bought!

[The Fake Shemp]

I'll play against you, soon enough.

I might even win a round this time.

[Herr Mafflard]

[AdmiralViscen]

[Raban]

Note: Don't play RoboJ.

Don't deprive me of crushed spirits, man.

what's your gamertag? I only have XBL Gold for like three months, so might as well use it to take all comers.

I like how he asks for RoboJ's gamertag, but not mine!

dude we're friends already! In fact, yours was one of the first I thought to add! JOKEFAIL

[Robo]

You've already added me too, it's "jim robobo".

[Raban]

You've already added me too, it's "jim robobo".

lol aight

you gonna get on? play like three matches?

[Robo]

If I get on, it's gonna be much later and I'm gonna be drunk.  I'll be down for tomorrow or Sunday, though.

[Raban]

Tomorrow then, lol.

[Mupepe]

No.  Play him when he's drunk.  Then you can mock him to hell and back when he loses.

[Raban]

No.  Play him when he's drunk.  Then you can mock him to hell and back when he loses.

He would probably still win :'(

[Mupepe]

Bullshit.  I've seen you play.  You just gotta believe in yourself baby. 

Is it like rock band where you can play at different levels?  If so, just play on easy.

[Robo]

Real talk: I honestly play better when I am drunk.  Anyone who has experienced it will attest that this is true.

[Raban]

Bullshit.  I've seen you play.  You just gotta believe in yourself baby.

Nice try Mupepe

[Mupepe]

well shit.  I didn't count on robobobobobobo being a sexy freak.  you're screwed raban.  Just enjoy it.

[Mupepe]

Thanks to the outside link thread, I just bought the first three seasons of the drew carey show on dvd

[Joe Molotov]

Imma getting my filmfag on with some Blu-Gay action:

[The Fake Shemp]

Good thing I bought all that cool shit to balance all that filmfag shit.

You know what's a great film to watch with friends? The motherfucking Princess Bride.

The 400 Blows? Yeah, that'll be a real lively party.

[Joe Molotov]

Good thing I don't have any friends. 

[The Fake Shemp]

"My name is Joe Molotov, and I watch all my Criterion Collection Blu-rays while sipping tea with my pinky pointed up."

"Hey, Joe - do you want to go see The Crazies with everyone tonight? It's going to be fun!"

"Pardon me, but I will have to decline said invitation, for I have a prior engagement with Ingmar Bergman and a bowl of scalloped potato soup."

"... Sounds like fun."

"Indeed! Great fun!"

[Ichirou]

Joe Molotov's taste in movies is awesome.

[The Fake Shemp]

Damn, I was really hoping to snag Ichirou with my 400 Blows troll

[Ichirou]

Actually I really loved the 400 blow

[CajoleJuice]

Will is just bitter.

(8:52:15 PM) Will: The Third Man Blu-ray
(8:52:16 PM) Will: Give it to me.
(8:52:32 PM) Joel: just noticed a post where i said i own it?
(8:52:41 PM) Will: Haha, yes.
(8:52:46 PM) Will: I want it
(8:52:52 PM) Will: Damn you Criterion

[Mr. Gundam]

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

Can't wait for Happy Together and Fallen Angels on Blu-ray this Spring. Still need 2046 and INTMFL on Blu, though.  :'(

[Ichirou]

Willco should just demand free blu-rays from Criterion in exchange for product placement in The Projectionist.

[CajoleJuice]

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

But neither of those are OOP.

[Mr. Gundam]

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

[The Fake Shemp]

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 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.

[Powerslave]

They may not be OOP but they're surely POOP!

[Ichirou]

[Joe Molotov]

The only Criterion I really want is The Third Man.

Studio Canal will be re-releasing The Third Man eventually, if you want to buy the non-Criterion version like a pleb.

[Raban]

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.

Also I have an HD .mkv rip of it on my computer.

[CajoleJuice]

I really really wish the 360 played .mkv files.

(If it can, someone please tell me how.)

[The Fake Shemp]

I really really wish the 360 played .mkv files.

(If it can, someone please tell me how.)

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.

[CajoleJuice]

I do have a wired connection. Hmmm, I'll mess around with this after I install Windows 7 in a little bit. Thanks.

[The Fake Shemp]

I do believe the file size STILL needs to be under 4GB, though.

[Joe Molotov]

And now I own every Star Trek Blu-Ray, and every Pre-Craig Bond Blu-Ray.

Was lucky enough to score this sweet deal:

[demi]

A poopy laptop?

republic of gamers just WOW imagine all the gaming

[The Fake Shemp]

I bought my current notebook in 2008, and it's more powerful than that!

[Kestastrophe]

You had Win 7 64 bit in 2008?

[huckleberry]

Just bought a mint condition iphone 2G.  cheap cheap cheap!


 

[The Fake Shemp]

You had Win 7 64 bit in 2008?

You bought a poopy laptop for an OS I've been running since 2009? (And a stable 64-bit version of Vista before that.)

... You should have just bought a copy of Windows 7 from Newegg and saved yourself the money!

[Kestastrophe]

The old laptop died a few months back, so this was a nice replacement for only $300.

[Brehvolution]

Nice find Kestastrophe. That hard disk is pretty slow for a new laptop. Keep your eye out for a 7200 rpm drive. Then throw that 250 in your PS3.

[Eric P]

i bought a 30 day unlimited metro ticket.

and an iced coffee

I found two expensive Clark Ashton Smith books at about half of what they'd cost new.  I'm thinking of picking those up.

[Eric P]

Forgot I had ordered that.

[duckman2000]

Got some wicked deals on 5.11 stuff, so I got some storm boots and lightweight tdu pants. I don't trust the "waterproof" thing, but this model is supposedly both nimble and sturdy.

Nice boots!...just as long as you don't wear those horrible black metal pants tucked into them, then we're cool.   

[duckman2000]

I'm grasping for an idea of what that even means. Are you talking about the lycra shit? I had a friend who was into that back in our day, "true metal" was the idea.

[Mupepe]

Bought this from a friend Saturday night.  (picture not mine.  Mine is sitting next to me on my desk at work )


A Remington 700 .270.  This isn't my picture and this guy has an aftermarket stainless steel barrel.  I have the stock black and my entire rifle is flat black.  I have the same aftermarket scope on mine though.

I couldn't find a picture but we're probably thinking along the same lines...probably.

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