HELLBOY

Mignola is so good.

I'm looking to upgrade my PC monitor to something I can use the 360 on as well. So far I'm looking at this and this. Any advice would be appreciated.

poor confirmed

Brehvolution · « **Reply #2766 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:16:33 PM »

it's more than the other 2 and a 26 inch. I"m worried that 22 inch will be too small for my 360 gaming desires.

edit: I think I found the winner.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #2767 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:54:33 PM »

I also have the BPRD hardcover to read...not sure whether I should read that before Hellboy 4 or after. Anyone know if it matters?

I would like to confirm for you that 20" is too small for 360 gaming. Good one on going for 20% more diagonal oomph.

I believe there is a mod of sorts you can do to Sennheiser 555s that effectively turns them into 595s, in case you're interested. I have a set of 595s and they are absolutely lovely. they sit on my head for most of the day, feels good man.

Eastern Mountain Sports was having a stupid sale. Your most expensive item is 20% off, everything else is 15% off.

So we went and got a pair of bikes.

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.

How far could you talk them down from the list price?

I eventually paid sticker minus $3K trade-in for my hooptie.

This is the little fella that followed me home.

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.

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.

trying to appease the cat god
some of my recent purchases:
x2 Evo 3d phones
Jawbone Era with the Noise Assassin 3.0 killing' background noise like no one's business!
A Invicta Russian Diver Model 0563 (my early birthday present for myself)
Shadows of the Damned
x2 Fear 3 which I got 2 of for $50 as well as a $50 giftcard to toysrus, thank you toysrus.
x2 Dungeon Siege 3 for some awesome cooping

Biggest pickup of all I finally got my license after all these years and a nice wallet/money clip to go with the new id.

and not picture cause it took the picture is a Nikkon D3100 using a 50mm 1.4 Nikkor lens. I love and hate this camera so much. Took nothing put horrible pictures during my recent Disneyland/Universal Anniversary trip. Not too sure if I'm gonna keep it or not.

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.
