So instead of sending me an e-mail about the Georgia Tech Co-op/internship program, I have to meet with the lady that runs this Friday or so. I would aim for some day earlier than that but two exams Wednesday and working late all week.
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']I'm going to go spend money I don't have on things I only kind of need, now.[/quote]More DDD sale? :D

Just kidding. ;)
 
Someone needs to open a poll on that guy's "Opening a Game Store" thread to see if, in fact, he will ever open his own store.

I'm voting no.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']More DDD sale? :D

Just kidding. ;)[/QUOTE] Actually I placed my first, and only, order of the sale yesterday. Just 3 items, less than $40.



No, I'm going to go buy some new clothes.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']Holy crap.

Nice find, zewone.[/quote]

Wait, what's in the link?
HD, Akira, XBOX?

I thought Akira was BD exclusive.... :(
 
[quote name='Gothic_Walrus']Out of boredom, I decided to go through a random month and see what I could come up with. I got three that are decent, I think...

Very good. I like the one I left on my quote the best. :applause:
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Watched Pan's Labyrinth and Spinal Tap last night. Currently listening to the director's commentary for the former. God-damn good movies, Pan's Labyrinth especially.[/quote]

Commentary on Spinal Tap is great too!
They stay in character, it's hilarious!

Everyone's dead, haha.
 
What a day!

Terminated my old cell phone contract (Alltel is the worst provider in the world, I think, I am done with their screw up's, $200 to kill it is a deal, especially since they said they can't change my area code when I move, and my phone roams if I leave the damn city), signed up for a new one with my gf under Verizon, sent out 13 packages so far (only need 3 more people to pay), someone just bought Far Cry for $12, and ordered some HDMI cables from Monoprice.

Going out later to get the $45 upscaling DVD player from Wal-Mart, since the one next to Alltel didn't have it =O

Gotta love how the HDMI cables are $4 at Monoprice but $70 :)rofl:) at Circuit City.
 
Saw Fantastic Four the other day on Showtime... it wasn't too bad, seemed very comic book like, imo.

The fight with Doom was way too short, though.

I'm hoping the Extended Edition tomorrow adds some decent length to the film.

It's a listing about more content for XBL Marketplace.

We see ads for AllTell out here, though we don't have any of their stores out here. :whistle2:s Sprint/Nextel, Verizon, US Cellular, AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile out here. I'm curious, what phone did you pick up from Verizon?

Yeah, Monoprice is where I've been getting most of my cables recently, and I'll need to order some more from them when my basement is done being partially finished, as my existing cables will be a bit too short for how I'm going to redo the layout of my stuff.

I thought it was by far the worst Marvel movie. Somehow managing to beat out The Hulk

for that crown.

I got the Chocolate... I checked out all the phones at Circuit City when I was in there, and this one appealed to me the most. Gonna stick a 1 or 2 gb card in there and load in some mp3's as well - the only reason I never used my Ipod is half the time I forgot to take it with me or it wasn't charged, but neither happens with my cell phone. I figure I can sell my Nano to offset some of the cost - I'm not someone who needs 40gb for music so it works out.

It's got free overnight shipping so it'll be here Wed probably... my old phone is a piece of garbage, Alltel at the time told me how amazing it was =/

That was the other problem, is that my girlfriend didn't think there was any Alltel places around where we were moving to. I'm just glad I'm finally free of them.
 
[quote name='zewone']Yes. American HD debut. :drool:[/quote]

Ooh, that's cool.
Hopefully an American BD shows up.
The import is EXPENSIVE!

I didn't see anything wrong with it, but I didn't take it seriously at all - I mean, cmon, it's a comic book movie of all things.

I actually think Spider-Man and X-men took themselves TOO seriously.

It was a decent movie to relax and enjoy, it wasn't the great thing in the world but it was a decent popcorn flick.
 
Someone release Akira with both dubs in America already, perhaps even with HD content if I ever manage to get one of those stupid formats.

Funny...I thought Daredevil usually took that crown.

I've been meaning to see the director's cut of Daredevil, because I'm curious as to what was added to it. It wasn't a complete disaster, but there was definite room for improvement.

Haven't seen the Hulk yet, though. Should I?

Decent little phone, all told.

Me, I'm sitting on what I have for now, unless Sprint releases a EV-DO Rev A phone, or my need to keep an eye on my work email forces me to a WM6 phone. Which would be a pain for my existing Palm. :whistle2:s
 
[quote name='wubb']Looks like you won. A $40 old magazine. Congrats?[/QUOTE]

Not even in English!

Hope you can read French ;)

Yea, it had a decent set of features without going overboard... my girlfriend got the enV, which is like a sidekick clone, because she texts and uses the IM's more than she does actually calling people, so she'll get a lot of use out of the sidekick.

I just liked the sleekness of the Chocolate too, and that it seemed to be pretty versatile.

I think when I pick up the DVD player at Wal-Mart, I'll also snag that Age of Empires Collection for $10.

I think most people hate Daredevil because most people hate Affleck. I don't mind him though. I would avoid The Hulk at all costs if I was you.

So, dare I ask what color phone you picked up for yourself? :D

Cherry, because my favorite color is red... it's more like a maroon color.

Shouldn't the Chocolate come in white or various shades of brown?

Red seems... wrong.

:lol:

If given the choice, I'll always choose red ;)

Black leaves fingerprints too easily, and white is so... I don't know. Boring.

I just got 4 packages in the mail with a ton of goodies =O

Chocolate the food comes in colors other than white or brown.
 
Gotta love paying for four items, and only getting three on Ebay.

I was already annoyed that my order wasn't shipped "within 1 business day" as they advertise (it was paid for Monday, shipped Friday), but now, I open the package and I only got 3 games when I paid for four.

Already contacted the seller, but I'm not too happy.
 
[quote name='Pancake Rabbit']PROVE IT[/quote]


Don't tell me you've never seen them. On holidays like Valentines or Easter or St. Patrick's day the roll out the multi colored chocolate.
 
[quote name='Pancake Rabbit']PROVE IT[/quote]

Chocolate is like a shit. It can be brown, white, or any shade inbetween. If you're really lucky, you can pop out a green one. If you're having problems, a red one.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Cherry, because my favorite color is red... it's more like a maroon color.[/quote]Yeah, they're trying for all kinds with all of those colors. :whistle2:s

[quote name='dcfox']Chocolate the food comes in colors other than white or brown.[/quote]All food ends up as the color brown. :D

Well, Shrike, if they want to turn into a bitch, I will just open a Paypal Dispute and claim "Significantly not as described"... I have to imagine stiffing me a on fucking game is not as described.

I mean, did they think they would get away with shorting me a game or something?

They didn't even use any packaging at all.
 
[quote name='wubb']White chocolate isn't even really chocolate.[/quote]

(A) Correct... but since it has chocolate in the title, I felt I should include it.

(B) As far as other "colors" go, fuck that. Adding dye doesn't count.

If you called the phone The Ketchup, it could come in red. Period. I don't care that they made green and purple ketchup. There's a fucking reason I haven't seen it in stores lately. Cause it was fucking disturbing.
