    Old School CAGs

    I think I discovered cheapassgamer through egm or another game magazine. I just started working so had some money and the time for video games. I would hop on to check out the morning threads before going to work. 40 now and I got married this year and expecting first child in May; cleaning out...

    Gone but not forgotten - CAGs of the past

    That brings back memories. I would check the ebgames thread before going to work...sometimes shopping at work. Maybe it's because I got older, or the thrill of getting a deal went away, or the games changed but I quickly lost interest after the PS3/360 came out.

    Surprisingly The Last Movie You Saw Didn't Suck Pt. 2

    high noon - I picked this one up at the library just because it was a western and then saw the high reviews it received. One of the greatest westerns?!?! Why do people like this movie so much? I thought the story was unbelievable. Everyone was cheering for the sheriff but then all of a sudden...

    Surprisingly The Last Movie You Saw Didn't Suck Pt. 2

    Fast Five - was really long and I was disappointed that there weren't many car scenes. The ending car chase was ridiculous. A really poor heist film, the cops/fbi were just plain stupid.

    Gamestop PS2 Rumor Sale

    I had $50 in erewards giftcards and was fantasizing about the haul I would return with but once I got to the store and started looking, I quickly realized I wouldn't be leaving with much. Ace Combat 4, wreckless yakuza, nba ballers, micro machines (for nephew but cars are too damn small)...

    Furniture buying advice?

    cash as in bills because of what you said. I thought only asians did it. It's been mentioned but a lot of the small independent stores sell the same furniture from Coasters, Home Elegance, Ashley. Comparing online prices to store prices should give you an idea of how much stores mark it up. I...

    Selling items through Craigslist- need advice

    Craigslist is mainly for selling/buying locally. Always cash, good idea to have someone else with you if there's a lot of money involved. Signs of a flake - too many back and forth emails. A lot of people lose interest and it's part of posting on Craigslist. I've also had people haggle price...

    Surprisingly The Last Movie You Saw Didn't Suck Pt. 2

    Paul was boring. Another thing I don't like - does Seth Rogen always have to be a pot smoking idiot? Kristen Wiig's character was stupid and childish. I thought Bill Hader was the highlight of the film. Saw Chronicle and loved it; I would rank it as one of the best superhero movies.

    People watch the olympics?

    wow - how can you be so ignorant? I don't watch all of the different sports but you're talking smack about swimming? You've got to be really fit to compete in that. Swimming and track might be the most exciting to watch for me. The swimming relay race yesterday was incredible. The US was...

    CAGcast #287: Stand and Deliver

    I was going to make a comment about both of these too. They were shown in the Animated Series and even though I wasn't a big fan of Batman Beyond but I remembered the items were also shown. I think the dinosaur attacked Batman in a Beyond episode. I will admit that only Batman fans/readers of...

    Old School Poster Thread

    Reminds me of the Golden Axe and Altered Beast posters that I had. I'll have to search and see if I kept them. No interest in trading or collecting but curious how they'll looked framed up.

    What are you currently reading? Post here!

    Re-reading Grapes of Wrath. John Steinbeck should be required reading. My favorite of his is The Winter of Discontent; I've read it at least 3 times since I first read it in high school. Reading Jane Eyre also. Next will be Journey to the West.

    87 TV shows were cancelled in 2011 check out the list

    Parks and Rec and Community are in trouble? They're NBC's funniest shows. Whitney is mediocre at best. I've only seen it because I don't turn the channel. But I think it's switching nights next season so I can't imagine it being successful then. 2 broke girls is also horrible. kat dennings was...

    Did you guys dump your PS2 console?

    If Sony still made a backward compatible PS3 I would sell or give them away to family members; I kind of want to play them upscaled. Currently I have 3 with HDloader and huge hard drives attached and even then my complete library doesn't fit on them. My desire to collect PS2 games seems to have...

    Have a question about Klonoa on PS1 value if factory sealed?

    I was saying that I wouldn't put it at a starting price of $75 on ebay. You're hoping for a bidding war that might not happen. This is a rare item, but maybe very few people are interested in having (referring to it being sealed). Those people will be hardcore collectors and will gladly take it...

    Have a question about Klonoa on PS1 value if factory sealed?

    If a used one sold for $60, I wouldn't list it at $75 unless you really need the cash. can't compare a used one to a sealed one (some collectors want a sealed copy and it's probably really rare to find one). price it high and see if anyone buys it, relist if it doesn't sell. listing's free right?

    Where were you when you first heard about the 9/11 attacks?

    I was in my college apartment; I had an early summer class and would wake up before 6am. Saw the 2nd plane crash and the pentagon in flames and then went off to class. I didn't know what to make of it at the time. I never imagined terrorists would hijack planes to use them as missiles nor would...

    First time flying...advice/tips?

    I've only traveled to Asia so maybe it depends on the airline but I basically watch their movies. They generally have a bunch to choose from. I might get like an hour or two of sleep but it's just not comfortable, just sleep early on your first night of arrival. For some reason I've always...

    Grounded for Life was mentioned above. Loved that show when it originally aired. Cougar Town Modern Family Supernatural Glee Frontline (PBS - no matter the subject I'm always captivated) Community The Office Nikita Hawaii Five-O (I don't know why I keep coming back to the show, probably because...
