damn bad traders. Just PMd a guy to ask if he sent his end of the bargain out yet. Previous PM from him was "It'll go out first thing this weekend!!"

Last PM was him backing out....thanks for letting me know jackass :roll:

I only deal with 400+ FB traders to avoid that sort of thing. ;)

Quakecon this week! Woo! And I get to defend all of Nintendo's honor against that dallow in Smash.
We have a hotel room nearby and a few extra reservations. Its for serious.
I wont be beaten by some PS Triple owner.

Haha!
You act as if I hate Nintendo or something.

From what Colbert has told me, you're a super freak with Smash. I'll give it all I got.
For the PS Triple.

Though if I lose, I'll blame it on your RF connection hurting my eyes.

[Pookymeister]

What was it for?



I was trading my old digi camera, a dvd, and $20 in Amazon GC for DDR Universe 360 bundle and Viva Pinata CE(really only wanted DDR)

I was making him send first ( 5 feedback) so besides taking the stuff off my tradelist and losing potential trades i didnt lose anything else.
It was still a pain b/c he said he would ship out next weekend so i was waiting a week. Blah.

[fart_bubble]

damn, I'm gonna have to buy this album after the con

DMK, can you fill me in on the details of all this?
Where, when, should I bring my own controller? (her name is Daisy)

[AngellicLulu]

I hate fickle fansubbing groups.

Dallow it might be worth the trip just to beat your ass with a character like...Bowser or some shit.

[Dr Mario Kart]

It starts thursday, but I'm actually leaving Tueday and plan to spend all of Wed waiting in the early regristration line, because I like getting a good seat at a corner near the front.

So maybe I can give you calls Tuesday Night maybes. You better give consent now, because otherwise, its gonna be the rapes.

[Dkellar]

Must start studying! But...lazy...busy freezing green beans..

[mr ryles]

Oh, I hate that. I hate it even more when they're in the back and the window doesn't go down all the way. And so it gets on the window. And they roll it back up. Then they roll it back down and it gets down in crack of the window sill.

Now that there was sunlight out I could see all the damage that was caused.

Oh it was in the window sill, on the floor mats, along the side of the car,under the seat, and the worst was the little side compartment on the door. It was filled about 3 inches deep in puke. It took some thinking on how I was going to get that shit out, but I got a hold of a shop vac and sucked most of it up. Spent at least the last good hour and a half cleaning it, cuz the thought of it sitting there until late in the afternoon with 100+ temperatures just baking it into my car, I had to wash it.

Now I can't get the smell out of my head. I just got out of the shower so I know I'm so fresh and so clean, but I still smell the vomit. :puke:

[dallow]

I'm not scared of someone who likes Resistance.Hey, that game gets really good after the first couple levels! Psh. :)

[Strell]

Too bad there's no way to play Smash Bros with a GBA and a PS3 controller, just to double reiterate everything.

[Dkellar]

Thanks, mang. I'll check it out later.

Do you like beets?

[Strell]

Does the mOTT not keep the Black Knight at bay? I thought it did.

Also, dallow, I demand we bring treats that represent said companies. So I'm going to dress up Twinkies to look like Wiimotes.

Hmm. What in the hell looks like a PS3 controller?

Oh yes. Crabs.

Go get you some crabs and paint them black. And then wobble them around so they get all dizzy and stop vibrating, to further drive the point home.

Be that sig Inside Man, Makler? I only ask because I downloaded the ending credits song and keep listening to it.

Yes sir. I have a whole Inside Man theme workin right now. And that Chiya Chiya song is amazing. When I first saw Inside Man I dled it and listened to that song over and over. If I werent at work I'd go give it a listen right now.

Yeah, I guess it's better to do it yourself than to run the risk of it getting baked in and have your brother try and chisel it out later.

Problem is, no HD-DVD player yet, and I'm not sure if I want to spend money on the 360's HD-DVD drive versus using it towards a better player, like a Tosh XA20.

HD DVD version of 300 is technically superior because of the extra feature.
But eh.

Picture quality is exactly the same though. Same encode.

I need to move to a new desk away from this new guy.

He always wants me to look "funny news stories" he finds, which end up being things like "Marijuana found growing behind law enforcement agency." "Check this out, isn't this funny?"

It's just that I've seen that shit on Fark so many times years ago that it's dull.

He's like - as Brak pointed out before - the unfunny uncle who sends you those shitty chain letter e-mail jokes.

Ahhh, skeet.

Mosquito "Skeeter" Valentine: He is Doug's best friend, he is rather off-beat and is famous in both versions of the series for his "honk honk" sound. Some fans think this is caused by some sort of autism or Tourette syndrome. Skeeter is from a blue-skinned family who lives in Bluffington. His dad has a foul temper but slow vocabulary, his mother is kind-hearted and rather meek, and he has a mischievous two-year old brother named Dale who once gave Doug a hard time when he babysat him. He also had an on-again/off-again relationship with rich girl Beebe Bluff and a crush on a girl by the name of Loretta. Skeeter helps Doug order from the popular Bluffington restaurant The Honker Burger (later demolished) in the series premiere (resulting in their friendship), and later helps him to learn to dance. He has a superhero alter ego by the name of Silver Skeeter, based on The Silver Surfer from Marvel, who helps Quailman, Doug's superhero alter ego, in several situations. It is revealed that Skeeter is a genius, gaining the respect of geeky twins Al and Moo Sleech. He is very laid-back and willing to take any situation in stride. His hobbies include air guitar, listening to The Beets, and hanging at the Honker Burger. It is often speculated by fans and critics of the show that Skeeter was African-American (due to his facial features), despite his blue skin. Skeeter was voiced by Fred Newman.
autism eh?

Oh, I saw The Simpsons movie last night.

You know what, it was actually pretty good.

And as I told my friend, it was because, unlike the episodes they show now, it had a consistent plot, and kept pop culture references to a minimum.

It was pretty cool to look into the crowds and see old characters.
Even saw the foul-mouthed shoplifting kid.

BONESTORM!

I'm leaning towards B+, but I wouldn't mind giving it an A-.

[lordwow]

I can't believe how many people don't password protect their photobucket accounts.

Checking boxofficeguru for the details on The Simpsons weekend and I can't believe how well Chuck and Larry is doing. Thing looked horrid from the ads I've seen and the reviews back up that as well (14% on RT.)

I haven't seen it, but I thought it looked good. I find Adam Sandler and Kevin James both to be pretty funny, pretty good premise too IMO.

oops, the song is Let The Bells Ring on Anna Ternheim's new ep

Good morning, OTT. How was your weekend?

"Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!"

Oh, I saw The Simpsons movie last night.

You know what, it was actually pretty good.
Saw it over the weekend, too...it played as part of a double feature at the drive-in with Die Hard 4. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed both movies. I'd give 'em both a B+, easily.

I've heard it is literally every gay joke from the 80s.

It looks terrible.
My thoughts exactly. Is gay still funny to people? It disappoints me that Adam Sandler does really substantive movies like Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me...but still feels compelled to do shit like this.

It's the Hyde Park Drive-In (http://www.hydeparkdrivein.com/schedule/) in Hyde Park, NY...it's about 30 mins away from my hizzy, but completely worth the drive.

Tickets are $7 for adults, and you get to see both movies...an amazing deal, I think. They even drop it to $5 on Tuesday nights, which is just a steal. It's dog friendly, too.

I wouldn't pay $10 to see the Simpsons or Die Hard, but I have no problem with paying $3.50...and I don't have to deal with the unwashed masses at the local 27 screen movie space-ark.

[AngellicLulu]

I'm having my lady buy the limited edition of it, but she doesn't know that yet.
boy, i remember the days I used to make my significant other buy me stuff. Oh, how the tables have turned... well, not really, I just buy my own stuff and he buys his own stuff.

I read that 60% of engaged couple that live together share the same bank account... I think that it why so many relationships end in divorce. Money is a nice relationship killer. That's why it is always good to not mix funds. If Jonathan needs to get something at say the grocery store, I'll give him my debit card... therefore I see exactly how much he spent and where with my money. His money, whatever...

In the same article I read that 50% of the 60% that share bank accounts, have seperate credit card accounts. So this creates a nice way to hide just what money is being spent on. "Oh, dear, why'd you take 300 dollars out of the bank account?"
"To pay my credit card off." (for that one 300 dollar pair of shoes bought)
"Oh, ok." (no idea it was one purchase)

I have my own account, he has his own account. He has his own credit card... I haven't bothered with that yet. So in conclusion of my theory is that mixing funds, causes divorces... the end.

I forget what got me started but whatever.

boy, i remember the days I used to make my significant other buy me stuff. Oh, how the tables have turned... well, not really, I just buy my own stuff and he buys his own stuff.

I read that 60% of engaged couple that live together share the same bank account... I think that it why so many relationships end in divorce. Money is a nice relationship killer. That's why it is always good to not mix funds. If Jonathan needs to get something at say the grocery store, I'll give him my debit card... therefore I see exactly how much he spent and where with my money. His money, whatever...

In the same article I read that 50% of the 60% that share bank accounts, have seperate credit card accounts. So this creates a nice way to hide just what money is being spent on. "Oh, dear, why'd you take 300 dollars out of the bank account?"
"To pay my credit card off." (for that one 300 dollar pair of shoes bought)
"Oh, ok." (no idea it was one purchase)

I have my own account, he has his own account. He has his own credit card... I haven't bothered with that yet. So in conclusion of my theory is that mixing funds, causes divorces... the end.

I forget what got me started but whatever.
I do the same for her.. we don't live together.. far from it, but I babied her the first 3 yrs of our relationship. As soon as she got a job she started doing the same things I did for her and I'm not complaining, but it's not outrageous things.. just mainly gaming things and a dinner here and there. She only pays for her school, so everything else she makes is just money to spend and lately I've had some pretty big bumps in the road with my mother and stuff so she's been glad to help out and all that. We take turns paying for movies when we go out, or take turns paying for dinner, and it really doesnt bother her... or atleast I dont think it does, especially cause she offers and what not. Most of our time is spent on weekends, her parents are insanely strict and uptight assholes and we usually only hang out twice a week or so... so it's not too bad. That does explain why I'm hardly ever going out with my friends, she's not the partying drinker or anything like that, and that's usually done on the weekends, so I choose to just hang out with her rather than my buddies... cause usually that's the only time I get to see her unless she stops by for a while after work or something too.

Happy b-day TFN. To celebrate you should have wild monkey sex with the gf and then post the video.

Oh yeah, you'll be the first to see. ;)

I'm grateful I am able to provide for him since he did the same for me when I wasn't working and I was going to school. Now he's working and about to get back into school (yay, he has orientation on Friday)... though we were expecting more financial aid since he is an independant and doesn't make much money. He got about the same I got when I was dependant under my parents from federal funds. I'll probably help him pay for that, but he's gotta figure out what he's going to do, past "maybe politics."
Anyways, he usually pays for his own games, and I'm really only handling the bills for him and food, which he did the same for me before I finished school. Though he is two years older he wasn't blessed with a stable home life to pursue college immediately like I was. So I'm further along in that part of my life.

She also helps me a lot due to the fact that even living here at home, I'm still pretty much on my own.. My mom lost EVERYTHING a year and a half ago.. and is still struggling to get back on her feet (she didnt go to college so finding a job was really tough for her age, 53) so I'm helping her out as well with rent/groceries/bills and also saving for school/a car instead of riding my bike everywhere. I blame my brother mostly though, he ripped my mom out of thousands and thousands of dollars, been in and out of jail since he was 16 (he's 25 now, which my mom ALWAYS got him out of, no matter the cost), and now he's finally stuck in jail and my moms still coughing up money for attorneys and what not.

Basically all it is going to be used for is writing papers, but I want to make sure I get something halfway decent.Only thing I can suggest at that price is adding in Bluetooth to it for the $20. It'll be cheaper than adding in one later, and no dongle to lose. Rest is stuff you're likely not going to care much for.

With XP, 1GB of RAM will be OK. For Vista, 2GB would be a much better idea.

If you're just going to use it for schoolwork, it'll do OK. Even some light gaming should be OK with it, though I wouldn't plan on anything too intense on it.

[Warner1281]

I hate working for Blockbuster for the sole reason that we have the most fucking complicated online service imaginable. Happy with Netflix? BB has the same service for a dollar cheaper. Want to exchange your mailer's in-store an unlimited number of times? K, pay $25 a month (same price as the 2-at-a-time movie pass before they just upped the price on that). $25 too expensive for you? K, pay $18 and only exchange 5 times a month and then if you want to exchange more, your game/movie rentals will just be half price instead of free. Yeah... by the time I get that sales pitch out, the customer will have already checked out and driven off. :bomb:

Why can't corporate stop beating around the bush and simply raise the price of the in-store exchange program to $25 and say "hey, you get a good deal out of us, but we can't make money at $18, so we're upping the price. If you don't like it, use our mail only program."

[CaseyRyback]

That is what I was thinking. I am going to end up getting Vista and throwing in another gig down the road. I believe the extra gig makes the video card work out much better since it doesn't share as much ram then and the card is much more powerful with two gigs.

I believe the extra gig makes the video card work out much better since it doesn't share as much ram then and the card is much more powerful with two gigs. You'll probably be able to pick up a educational version of the Vista while you're in school, and RAM's much cheaper from someone else on the Internet than Dell.

Rest of the upgrades aren't needed for a laptop that you'll just use for schoolwork.

I'll tell you that buying the batteries after the initial purchase are painfully expensive. If you're thinking about it, and it'll be something you'll use, do it now.

Ram is definately something I am going to do later and I will buy it myself from somewhere like newegg. I can't see it being too much of a pain in the neck to install.

And since the battery is only 40 dollars more I think it would be worth it. I don't think I will be away from outlets all that much in class, but in some classrooms it is a PITA to find a seat near an outlet.

Gamestop gave me $68 dollars for the 8 DS games. I bought a Game Informer card thing, since it got me like $2 extra on trade ins and $5 a new game (Gitaroo Man for PSP for $15, yay for first PSP game), so it really only cost $8, which I'll make up in a year, I'm sure.

Ended up with $37 and Gitaroo Man, as well as a GI Sub, for the 8 DS games. Sounds good.

Is it desktops you've been discussing all afternoon, or laptops? I kind of tuned it out b/c I have a newish laptop...but my PC is getting up there in years and I've been thinking about an upgrade.

Desktops.

surely you can get an increase if you've had it for 4 years.

I've had the credit card for two years, but hardly use it so it's only been upped once from $500 to $1000. I just started using it again though so here's hopin'.

I'm not a fan of this one buyer of mine on eBay, as he seems to like sending me a lot of emails, all in CAPS and no punctuation, to ask me when his package has shipped (three of them the day before I went to the PO) and to leave feedback (every day since he left his feedback).

What's a good credit card for someone new to credit cards? My fiance has Capital One but it seems meh to me. I might get one from my credit union when I go ask about an auto loan.

Once I get verified I think I'll make my first sale on eBay. =O

Capital One is pretty good. I have a Chase, too, but don't go with them.

Damn...going to have to read through it again.

Check out www.wamucards.com. I got a really good rate from them with a high limit, and their credit monitoring is awesome.

I've been thinking about unloading the rest of my ps2 games, I don't currently have a playstation and I think I might just stick to next-gen from now on, especially with the arcade and what not. I've got a lot of good ps2 games too. :D

Fuck, dude, I'm sorry. I totally zoned out. Everyone was talking about laptops.

[Liquid 2]

I need a new desktop, but I can't pay for it with one lump sum and my dad won't let me get financed through him (probably for good reason, but still) :-(.

Time to start saving.

Poor fledgling PS3 board. I try to help it out as much as I can.

It's gotten a huge influx of new faces in the recent weeks though. (for better or worse....?)

I once called the Wii board dead, but it got a lot of life a couple weeks after that.
The PS3 board was dead a month ago.I've dabbled a bit in the PS3 board, more so now that I have one.

I might get one from my credit union when I go ask about an auto loan.Big thing you want to look for is APR. That's what will make it easy to deal with a CC versus painful. I did a balance transfer option with the card I now have and have a 7.9% APR that won't change. Current balance transfer is 0% APR for the first year after transfer.

The card's with Bank Of America, and was the lowest APR I could find.

Well since I have a limited credit history, it looks like Capital One's APR is pretty high. I'll use it to improve my credit history I suppose. But I'll look into my credit union's card as well next month. We'll see.
I knew I should have gotten one of those student cards when I was in college.

Better question is how I made 20,131 posts .

Not according to the wiki. How much was it at GS, any idea?

I believe 16.99, I really wouldnt mind turning credit into money for ya if I get over to that side of town anytime in the next few days.

50 more posts until I hit 6000. Yay?

Most of the good APR's are for 700+ credit score people, so I've noticed.

[tiredfornow]

hey rocko, this ninjas got Okami for sale, not too sure how much though.

yeah well I'll work on it with car payments (hopefully) and a small credit card. My fiance's credit is fucked because his father used my fiance's information to get a credit card and didn't pay it off. And Jonathan didn't know about this until after his father passed away a few years ago. I'm urging him to get it cleared since the debt collectors just started calling after he got a credit card.
So that's fun.

So that's fun.If you get a car loan somewhere, see if you can get a credit card from them as well, even if it's a small one.

If your finance's credit is screwed because of someone else's issues, then he needs to get that resolved ASAP. Otherwise, it'll haunt him for a very long time.
