$5 brand new... can't wait to see just how terrible it really is.

I didn't even know this was released.   

It looked absolutely horrible in a review I watched on it.

[Mr. Gundam]

Xplay's review was pretty hilarious.

I've got a fascination with kusoge, so this is right up my alley. Especially for $5.

But will it be worth your time? That's going to be HOURS you can never get back.

I don't have a basement to renovate this summer. I'll need something to do.

man that is a lot of crap

[duckman2000]

I'm barely a gamer these days (no troll). But I'm getting Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm with the PC, other than that it's an After Effects station with neat gaming performance on the side.

If there is a god, Duckman'll use it to create something for our otherwise entirely worthless thread.

Filming paintball, airsoft, various outdoor stuff (basically, the places I wouldn't bring the top tier camera to).

Vizio VSB200 Sound Bar.  Was $89 at Costco and didn't want to spend a lot on one of these things.


But it didn't come with one of these:


So hopefully it will work with my TV...have read the VSB200 doesn't work with everything.   

Also got this.  Hope the online play is good.

Let me know what you think about the sound bar.  I've considered getting proper speakers, but the wire clutter drives me mad.

I think I might as well.  Half of the time slim fits work for me and the other half they don't.  I've but on to much weight.

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.

[TEEEPO]

is that their led 3d model that had a ridiculous sale recently?

[chronovore]

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 Ą800.

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

I have a Dyson with just an airflow-powered brush.  It's bitchin'.  With the motorised head that'll be unstoppable.

Russian River ships Pliny up to Seattle every four to five weeks. I bought three last night at Whole Foods, and those two are going to last me until the next shipment in July.

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.

So far, it has been pretty impressive. My brain keeps saying "eight hunnerd yanqui dolla" though.  :'(

Having used it myself, I kinda agree. It fails at sucking, as it were.

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

My man. That is the way it's done.

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%.

[Brehvolution]

Are those in the 2nd pic Oil Rigs? They look kind of like the set I wear. Best since the Eye Jackets.

I got them both with some Japanese Game that doesn't have an English title or a box and the Super Famicom adapter for US SNES for 20 bucks.

Just got a small hardcover notebook to carry around with me and jot down things. 

Was writing in it at the club and a chick asked me what I was writing.  Told her I was writing about her, she grabbed it and wrote down her phone number.  Works for me.

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

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.

been meaning to get one for an age after i jimp after having Hyoushi demo his years ago

seems they are in the bargain bucket so rescued one for 8000 yen with a shit up box (12,000 with nice box but no ta)

Works fine - jamming on the train > *

Nice, I'm really getting annoyed with the 8 bar limit on this though, the Pro has a 16 bar limit but that is fuck expensive and not portable of course... I'm really tempted to get a Monotribe as well.
