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.

Where are you going to school? Also that amount of money is scary as fuck.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #3541 on:** January 18, 2012, 11:56:28 PM »

Coop is usually a contracted agreement between a company and the school to hire students in their prospective study for experiance in real world application of your studies.

The school I was accepted into is Santa Clara College its in the heart of the silicon valley so its a great opportunity for me.

Though I get a 30% first time buyers discount - tariffs so I think they will come to $240 in the end

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.

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.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #3569 on:** January 25, 2012, 03:22:18 PM »

Yeah, and Godzilla never fought Megalon on top of the Twin Towers. Who cares? It's still a sweet poster.

Eric P · « **Reply #3570 on:** January 25, 2012, 03:34:32 PM »

Godzilla 54 had goofy eyes anyway.

TEEEPO · « **Reply #3571 on:** January 25, 2012, 05:22:55 PM »

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.

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

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #3572 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:04:48 AM »

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.

Got a UN55D8000 for the bedroom its so huge! I now feel small with my 24 inch monitor next to this thing. It's only temporary till we get an E series sometime later in the year. Ended up paying just $1300 for it also came with a 3d bluray player and some extra 3d glasses.

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.

My FPS clan/MMO guild is made up of real-life friends and former co-workers so we've been taking BF3 to the next level and playing airsoft on the weekends. We're so hooked we're going to be doing it up to twice a month no, so instead of renting equipment I bought my first guns:

I may upgrade to a FAMAS or P90 after our next couple of matches. I really want to do indoor with the glow-in-the-dark tracer rounds.

Also went in to work (Gamestop) this afternoon and bought a 360 controller and Nyko charging station that were brand-new but being sold as pre-owned. I know they were new because they were stolen from us a few weeks ago, and they were traded in with most of the packaging still attached. The manager on duty had no way to prove the guy stole it!

Only paid for part of the 360 version since I got a $100 BB gift card over the holidays. I don't generally like buying stuff from them so I wasted it all on Soul Calibur.

Also got a BESTA shelf unit from IKEA, but I couldn't find a pic.
