Phew, just finished reading The Grapes of Wrath. Took it down in about 3 and half days. Leveled in FF5 the entire time, I'm at level 98 now. Not something I would normally do 'cept I could do it while I was reading.

Kind of a downer. I liked East of Eden better. There werent bitches fuckin everyone's shit up.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']The fuck you doin'? There's still 5 posts left in the other one.[/QUOTE]

I figured the other one would be done buy the time I posted this one.

I guess my timing was off a little.
 
[quote name='Graystone']The planet earth HD set was making me want a HD player. I went to sams to see if they had the 360 HD player for $130 but they didn't so I passed on it. Maybe in the future I'll buy one. For under $150 I'll bite for sure.

I put up the new OTT. So 3 to go on this one.[/QUOTE]

The only reason I bought my HD-DVD add-on when I did was because of the $40 off $200 coupon from circuit city (and I actually had a genuine one, not a printout/copy from the internet) so I got it for $160. Also, I've since sold off the free King Kong HD-DVD for $10 so its more like I got it for $150. If I hadn't gotten such a great deal on it, I would have waited for sure.

(Decided to move the conversation over to the new OTT)
 
Out of boredom I went to some old search engines (lycos, jeeves etc)

Wow they suck so much. Google has me spoiled.

I had one of those coupons but didn't want a HD player at the time. But I would have done the same as you. Sold king kong off, and had a nice new player. The only thing is that the Hd player up-converts but only over VGA. So basically unless you have an LCD your screwed. I have an HDcrt tv, no vga to be found. But I have a samsung upconverting dvd player, and HDMI.
 
This is going to sound really insensitive (VT shooting related) so spoiler tags:
Anybody have some links to funny pics of it/parodies? Like the previously posted "You/32 students/delicious cake"?

I feel terribly insensitive about this as well. One of my first concerns was Atlus having to edit Persona 3 like they did with Persona 2 since it came out a little after Columbine.

You're really not looking then. It's fucking everywhere. Though, /b/ was down a little earlier.
 
I had a mini rc helicopter but I can't find it now. Now I'm sorta looking for a new one, but so many choices online its so hard to choose.
 
wtf Hobbyron has a rc helicopter for $59 or you can buy it in a case of 8 for $20 a piece = $160. You buy the case, and then sell the other 7 on ebay and get yours for free + profits.
 
As a result of a fried video card (again), a constantly garbled display and a corrupt operating system (as a result of trying to fix the aforementioned problem), my computer is fucked and all of my files are long gone.

The motherboard is fucked, too.

Now I have to buy a new computer, and I can only use the computer at work.

Lame.

I think I'm going to go Mac, because Windows is a fucking joke.
 
Mornin OTT. That was the first Saturday in a long while that I didnt drink. As a result I slept from about 9 last night to 8 this morning.
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']You have backups of your various works?[/QUOTE]
Some. I had some internal harddrives that I disconnected prior-to the meltdown, so I have some of that shit.

I'm not really sure what I'm missing, but I know I'm missing a lot.

More disgusting, all 600+ of my album collection is gone.

My condolensces ... that sucks big time. I recently purchased a 160gb external drive for the purpose of putting all my music on to avoid what you're going through as I feared a crash of my computer was imminent. It would be a major pain in the ass re-acquiring all that music again.

Yeah, something about kids running around shooting themselves in the head probably won't sit right with the general public.
 
Well, it's not like the general public gives fuck all about Persona anyway. [quote name='Brak']Some. I had some internal harddrives that I disconnected prior-to the meltdown, so I have some of that shit.

True, but not caring has never stopped them from sticking their noses into the game industry fucking it up for the rest of us.

Ya know, it might have just been a failing harddrive or even bad ram. A bad video card shouldn't destroy your filesystem. However, if the RAM flaked out while loading the drivers, that could corrupt them, same for the HDD.

What I would do is first get memtest+ and let that run for a while. (It fits on a bootable floppy.) If that comes out OK, it might be your HDD. Then I'd recommend a new install on a good HDD. If that works out fine you know its your current HDD. Actually, if you want to ship it to me, I can probably use the cloner at work and get all your files off of it.

Well, the last time this happened, the video card was genuinely fried... When I replaced it, everything was fine.

(This time was sort of different, though, in that it was only terribly garbled, as opposed to horribly garbled, when I swapped a new video card in.)

With that said, do you think that things could just be burning up? My computer, in recent months, has been noticeably slower, one of my CD drives won't read CDs (this happened with a DVD drive before -- off and on), etc. Come to think of it, the dial-up modem on my motherboard died a couple of years ago, when I used to use dial-up. Strell sent me his old dial-up card, in fact.

And thanks for the offer... but after I couldn't access my old files, and when I just couldn't turn on my computer, I just completely reformatted it... which didn't help. (And now I regret it.)

All my shit is long gone. :'(
 
Did you reinstall? If you just formatted, I know I can probably get something back.

... I dunno. ;o

I put in the factory CD thing the second time it fucked up, and it would only let me reformat. It warned me that all of my files would be deleted.

[quote name='evanft']The new Tori Amos is really good.[/quote]

Pixie said the same thing (actually, I think it was closer to "not bad"). I'll have to check it out soon.

I was dozing off last night while Pixie watched March of the Penguins, and man - that is not a movie to fall asleep during. I swear, everytime I would go in and out of consciousness, I heard Morgan Freeman saying "but after surviving blah blah bla, the worst was still to come." After declaring MotP the worst "Choose Your Own Adventure" movie, I went to bed knowing that being a penguin sucks.

Now, I have to get off my lazy ass and do some laundry and dishes....
 
Just ordered Planet Earth from Amazon. Their preview video sold me on it. It looks fantastic, and has quite a bit of extra footage, it seems.
 
Oh dammit - I forgot Best Buy was going to have Wiis in stock this morning - I was thinking of taking a run up there around 9 to see if there was a line.

(Not for me, but for a friend that has been trying to get one.)
 
[quote name='evanft']The new Tori Amos is really good.[/QUOTE]What's the title? House of Lies?
 
Holy shit!

I'm debating whether or not I should pick up the new Pokemon. I just started Leaf Green a few months ago and I'm still playing it quite a bit. I don't care to trade or battle online but if I could import my Pokemon from Leaf Green to the new game it might be worth it.
