I know how the Razr phones are only for the really cool and trendy people, but my family may go with some T-Mobile plan (rather than Verizon) that includes free Razrs. Are they any good? The only upsides that I can see are the larger screens, but nothing much otherwise... especially since I have valued pictures and tones on my old phone. :(
 
[quote name='s1eepinglionhart']Same here on both counts (minus a gb player).

Searching on Freeloader and Wii, it seems that people have had success with it. I've been hoping Tanuki would confirm, but he's probably been pulling FINRATS while on breaks from class and Wii sessions, so I'm still waiting.



Shiiiizzzz. That Gamestop/EB? I wonder what the current value is... If it's still $50, that's tempting. That's REAL tempting.[/QUOTE]

It's normally $20. But they ran a desal where you got an extra $30 on top of that.

I dunno if that's still running though.
 
It was trading in for 30 and they were giving 20 extra. Last time I checked they still had the deal going but knocked down the value of the cube.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']I didn't even try it out before I had to own it. It was all the promotional videos that made me need it.[/QUOTE]
I just thought the promotional videos were kind of ridiculous. The overreacting actors really annoyed me, and everything seemed really fake.

If you're talking about the videos of people playing the wii, like on Gamespot or wherever the crap they were, I haven't seen them yet, but, unless its something I was already genuinely excited about (Oblivion), I'm not gonna go through the trouble of looking it up.
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']Well, fuck. I wonder what I can get for my cube and gb player ... :whistle2:k

I still think I'd rather play the cube version of Twilight Princess, though.[/quote]
What version of Freeloader do you have? Check the underside of the disc for the version number. Some work and some don't.

Razr pisses me off. I though I wanted one when my phone was due to upgrade... I ended up taking it's big brother, the e815. Razr's battery life is supposed to be horrid... and I hated the buttons (they're all flush). Add to that the fact that I'm on Verizon, who cripples the phones (but they can be hacked... :whistle2:#), but also that the Razr had Verizon's OS while the e815 still ran the Moto interface -- that's how I ended up with an e815.
 
$7 for an 8x10 poster. Yay!

Goodness. Our phone's batteries are crap too. This Razr shenanigans is mainly thanks to my sister who, in her typical spoiled brat form, is begging for a pink one. With fucking cherry blossoms tattooed on the goddamn phone for $20 extra.

Miami Ink edition? heh.

e815 battery life isn't bad, so long as you have a decent signal. except mine. it's cursed. xchika's however, the battery is the fucking energizer bunny.

That one should work, but mine, 1.06B, doesn't work. :bomb: I'd either have to track down a 1.06b or get an Action Replay, which seems like the better and easier choice.
 
[quote name='s1eepinglionhart']1.06b.


Miami Ink edition?[/quote]

Probably.

Cingular had one that was black and blue, which was cool looking, but honestly, what a phone looks like means shit to me. :lol: Give me a clean, clear screen, decent camera, decent call clarity, deliver my texts, voicemails and calls on time and I'm good.

Oh, and let me have my awesome 80's ringtones.

"Dance, into the fire! The fatal sound of broken dreams... ~ ... It's a view to a kill!"

A lot of that is dependent upon the carrier and their network in your immediate area. The camera and screen are nice on the e815, and I want to say they're the same as the Razr.

One of the big problems, besides battery life, from what I hear, is that they're easy as hell to snap in two. Forget which pocket you slipped it into... sit down. crack. go directly to the store. spend $300 on a new phone. do not pass go.

Ja, true. I love it when Verizon delivers 3 day old voicemails to me at 6 in the morning. :D The only reason I would keep Verizon is my friends also have it. But then, T-Mobile has that Fave5 thing.

No doubt. I wear a vest most of the time, so I stick the phone in a side pocket.. it's generally pretty protected.

Now, if I can convince them to get a different phone, what would y'all's faces reccommend?

Weird. Sorry to hear that mang.

What's the deal with the action replay?

Does anyone know anything about the Blackberry Pearl?
I'm looking into it for my next phone.

Action Replay, at least the versions marked as such, have the Freeloader software included on them for easy importing fun.

I'm done with Trauma Center and it's fucking GUILT for now. I'll move onto Zelda.

That sucks. I wish someone I knew would get a Wii so I can test my combo out, before I buy one.

Please give your impressions with Zelda in here after you spend some time with it.

Good episode, probably too early in the series to be in my top 3, but definitely quality and that's definitely a good quote.

I'll see what I can do.
 
I feel like I can skip some of these cutscenes in Xenosaga Ep 1. I played through about 10 hours and can pretty much remember how some of the cutscenes go (like the opening one I'm watching now) but I feel weird skipping them. I'm just dreading everyone's favorite, the hour long cutscene.

Xenosaga Episodes 1 & 2 are on my backlog.

How many hours of gameplay do you figure an average run through takes?

You can push X to skip cut scenes in gears of war. It doesn't work for the in-game phone conversations though (the parts where you're forced to walk).
 
Well I have completed that review for that travel case, and I think it got the creative writing juices flowin'.

I am going to enter a Reader's Digest short story contest, and I'm about to write the submissions, both based on events I talked about in the OTT. Namely, that weird fucking job interview I had, and losing my childhood home.

Here's hoping they turn out well.

Good luck buddy. I'm sure your writing style will catch their eye, it's just a matter of whether they believe their audience will be interested in your endeavors.

Shouldn't you be building a test box... out in the snow... or something?

It's 23:00. Are you fucking insane? :lol: Horse don't go out frolicking in the snow and -12° weather. You're very much welcome to, however. :D

He's probably off taking Aleve for his arthritis. I hear it flares up in cold weather. ;)
 
Time for me to hit the hay. Time to sleep in and catch up on the deprevation thanks to (hah) life.

See ya, OTT. Glad y'all don't hate it too much. :lol:
 
I'm actually going to sleep early on time tonight and I'm going to get a full 6 hours of sleep (which is quite good for me).
Waking up is gonna suck though, because my bathroom is going to be cold as shit, and it'll be hell until my shower warms up.

Well, good night OTT.
 
I was playing basketball tonight and forgot my new beanie I just bought today at the gym, which happens to be the high school gym, so now I have to wake up at fucking 7AMish to get there and grab it before some fucking kids jack it.

DO NOT BUY A RAZR. I can not stress this enough, it is one of the worst phones I've ever owned. You get about 6-12 months of good use out of it and then it goes to crap pretty much overnight. First will be the battery life, good luck getting in more than a couple calls before the battery is low (even on a full charge!). Then, it will start making this buzzing sound in the middle of calls that gets incredibly annnoying. Finally, the fucking thing will just blank out and go to a white screen in the middle of a call. It doesn't shut off but when the screen does finally come back it takes a couple minutes for it to reconnect to the cell network.

Trust me, I've run into all of these problems as have all 4 other people I know that own it. What was funny was that one friend of mine swore up and down that he hadn't had a problem with it and I kept telling him "just wait". Sure enough he comes to me one day and tells me the battery holds no charge anymore and that he's started to get the buzzing noise. I told him "just wait till it starts blanking out on you, that part's a blast."
 
So I need a job. Turns out the walmart I worked in last year wants me back to work the cell phone section. I hated the fucking job just due to the fact that you did nothing all day. I turned down the "job offer." But then got to thinking what the hell am I doing so wrong that I'm getting job offers from a walmart. That I quit at, and by quit I walked out in the middle of my shift.
