Barnes and Noble is having another 50% off Criterion Discs sale. It goes until August 5th. You can actually pick up the The Devil's Backbone from them a week before other retailers have it on sale at $20.

I just grabbed it myself.

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?

I decided to pick up some old PS3 games now that the generation is almost over. These will probably not show up as PS+ freebies.

It's an Ibanez RG2620 from '04 with Joe Satriani's signature pickups.

Rufus · « **Reply #4939 on:** August 03, 2013, 09:35:07 PM »

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.

chronovore · « **Reply #4940 on:** August 04, 2013, 12:09:32 AM »

I'll keep that in mind. I buy too many headphones and earphones. I don't know why; I have he same number of ears as anyone else.

Rufus · « **Reply #4941 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:24:20 AM »

I have a few pairs I could be repairing as well. I should just bite the bullet and buy some triple digit priced ones where you can replace everything easily. The ones I currently use don't even have a detachable cord, even though that's the thing that usually breaks first.

I did some shopping in California:

Peter David ST:TNG Excalibur series Treason
Willingham's Fables trade paperbacks (x4)
Kirkman's Invincible trade paperbacks (x5)
Kinect Nike+ 235 Fitness
Kinect Disneyland
Kinect Pixar Rush
Disney Infinity and everything except Cars, because Cars sucked (360)
Nerf Something-Something Elite for US$3 on BOGO at Gamestop (Wii)
DJ Hero 2, as the other part of the BOGO, for $4
Clive Barker's Jericho (360)
Saints Row IV, bitches (360)
Uncharted 2
Lollipop Chainsaw (PS3)
Fuse (PS3)
Crysis 3 (PS3)
Last week's EA Humble Bundle, mainly for Mirror's Edge
cheap ass graphics card and 8GB RAM for my slow-ass PC, so I can join the PC master race before the consolocalypse.
Persona SE w/ soundtrack CD (PSP)

...then I come home with the stuff and immediately spend my first hours bashing my forehead against Europe 4 and 5 in Doritos Crash Course.

WTF!?

Latest Edit: I overestimated my TPB amounts, added Persona, and want to bitch that I AM STILL PLAYING Crash Course.

I've only thumbed through it briefly, but it seems great. I wish it was a hardcover though. The binding is a bit flimsy.

Say what you will about the motifs in Gust's games, but the art is undeniably high quality.

It's Elminage Original, a Japanese first-person dungeon crawler inspired by the Wizardry series. The European physical release was limited to 300 copies. It's available as a digital download in both North America and Europe, and it's compatible with the Vita.

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.
