Here's the beginning to a mural of a Centaur and a Unicorn letting their forbidden love shine through the land of Narnia.[/QUOTE]

Moments like this remind me how we made love for the first time felt like.
 
I've got to know how and why you thought that mural up Vulgarism. I didn't watch the movies but I still remember enjoying the Chronicles of Narnia series. I read the books in either 3rd or 4th grade but I can't remember which one because it's been too long.:p

I don't have it listed for trade or sale anywhere I just figured that I might as well give it away since I'm probably never going to use it :cool:

Next time Killing Floor is on sale and you don't buy it for me, I'm going to have to break up with you.

Oh no, I would be utterly devastated :roll:. Seriously though, I have a bunch of stuff that isn't listed that I would give away for free if anyone would pay shipping. I used to just give it to my nieces or people I knew at school and work. I also didn't want to waste a bunch of time listing stuff that I'm not going to make any money on:lol:

You better be devastated.

What free stuff! Tell me!
 
Hey, thanks for the heads up, but I'd say I'm content on my RAM at the moment. It's more HD space and a video card that I'm desiring, but just can't get the nerve to go out and do something about it. Don't listen to Meatwad, he just mad cause he so lonely. He needs lady.

Hard drive space is the easiest to remedy just look to see what type of connection (IDE or SATA) and make sure you have an extra power cable. As far as the video card goes If you have a newer operating system and a decent power supply just get an ATI 6000 series card. Meatwad is online quite a bit so...:whistle2:k
 
I'm a console only gamer now. I got tired of always haveing to upgrade Vid cards etc or buying a game and first having to download a patch before you could play it.


Bump.
 
[quote name='Megiddo_CAG']Oldschool, I take it your childhood sucked.[/QUOTE]

Are you kidding it was awesome to have a 70s childhood. I learned to fish and hunt early on and we actually went outdoors and ate fairly healthy homemade food every day. I feel bad for the kids born later, they are going to have so many health problems in the future.

[quote name='5of9']I'm a console only gamer now. I got tired of always haveing to upgrade Vid cards etc or buying a game and first having to download a patch before you could play it.[/QUOTE]

I play on both PC and consoles and ever since Steam started up I don't have to worry about finding disks or updating my games anymore. I started playing PC games more often lately because of all the issues with updating firmware and overheating hardware that the newer consoles have;)
 
I can only imagine growing up in the 70s being dark and cold and depressing. The 80s is when being a kid became awesome.

As for the HD, I'm probably going to just throw it inside my computer regardless. Whatever I can get is what I'll pick up. Thankfully, there's six SATA ports on the mobo, so I'll have no problem throwing in a few more down the road. Unfortunately, I've been pretty much completely broke for a year and a half now, so the only money I can spend on upgrades are when I sell stuff, or, like this great chance, getting an Officemax gift card.

I will say every single time you post about computers in my thread, it makes me want to just sell off all my games and splurge on new stuff for the computer haha. My problem is I never just have enough to go and upgrade, unfortunately, but HD space is necessary right now. I can live with the games I can handle at this point, but it'd be nice to really go all out in a year or so.


Let's find Meatwad a woman.
 
bump back

my childhood sucked. I hated everything about the '80s - the clothes, the music, the games (cuz i knew they could be SO MUCH better), the cars (i did have to ride in them, lol), the technology, etc. (as you get the gist of what I'm saying). i would've preferred to grow up in the '70s or the '90s (probably the latter).
 
Bump...

The 70s was the era of too much color and noise Vulgarism, for example the walls inside our house was bright orange with yellow shag rug. We also had Navy blue and Avocado green colored furniture. The music was so upbeat that it's annoying to listen to now, The Bee Gees tunes still make me cringe:roll:

I've thought about selling games off to upgrade my PC as well but it's hard to get rid of even a part of my gaming collection. I don't think I could inflict a woman with Meatwad unless I really didn't like her;)

I agree about the cars and clothes in the 80s twztid13 but I liked the music and the T.V. shows from back then. :cool:
 
just voted bump. voted for change, yes we can (do better than we are doing now w/ one party rule, lol)!

my halloween was okay. just watched NFL football (Miami won, yay!) and played Fable 3 & Halo Reach. nothing specifically haloween related (my apartments seem to be too scary for kids to knock on doors).
 
[quote name='Megiddo_CAG']I've decided not to vote, how does that make you feel karl?[/QUOTE]

If you lived in California I would be deliriously happy but since you're in another state...meh:lol:

I really wish there was another competitive political party or even better no parties at all and everyone would run on their own merits:roll: You must live in a really spooky apartment complex if no kids came trick or treating.

I visited some friends who lived in a run down apartment complex once and they had tons of kids, of course that was in the 80s when people expected Halloween to be scary. I used to play scary games during Halloween but now that I have to answer the door I'd rather just watch movies. I don't mind being interrupted watching old horror movies :)

i cant play scary games anymore. i have high blood pressure, hypokalemia (low potassium), hypochondria and severe anxiety disorder that all come into play when i try to get into a great scary game. RE4 was the last one i was able to play. this all happened when i first got a 360 (Dec. '09). i tried to play dead space, but i focus more on my heart beating irregularly more than the game. it sucks. i wanted Costume Quest by then, but everyone only wants othe XBL games or paypal for it and i don't have either :cry: .

Also, I need a new comp-monitor combo. 200-300$ budget. I'm ok if the system has no OS, but needs decent ram and a decent graphics card. Can you make it happen brother?

High blood pressure I can understand but Hypochondria prevents you from playing scary games! Do you mean that you actually psych yourself out playing a scary game? I actually had a boss who had severe anxiety attacks, I had to take over for him for a week when they took him away in an ambulance a few months after I started there.

That's okay it's the kind of hate I can live with :lol:. It depends, I need to know a few more specs since I consider 4GB of DDR3 Ram and an ATI 5770 or Nvidia GTX 260 decent ;)

If you can squeeze in a decent processor with that, that would be sweet at my budget. :lol:

costume quest came out like the 2nd week of october for ps3/360.

like i said, it all works together to form a perfect storm. the hypokalemia causes nerve pain (feels like i'm being shocked in any given area at any given time) & irregular heartbeat (which i psych myself into thinking its worse than it probably is). it's too much too explain here, but the hypochondria is more than just playing on my current medical problems, if my left arm hurts (from carrying in groceries, for example) i immediately think i'm having a heart problem & can't think about reasonable explanations. it all stems from anything that makes my heart beat fast. it beats very irregularly & it feels like it's pounding out of my chest, but anxiety/panic attacks is what makes it intolerable. playing horror games, or any game that gets me too excited, triggers the fast/hard irregular heartbeat, then i can't focus on the game AT ALL. i take meds for all (except hypochondria), but it keeps me on a normal level if i don't subject my self to extreme circumstances (things that tip the scale toward anxiety/irregular heartbeat - like caffeine, horror movies, games, etc). i may be able to over time, but i have several other (legitimate) medical problems that contribute to the hypochondria & anxiety, so it sucks to be me. my anxiety med is just enough for a normal day, but if i had unlimited supply, i could ignore all the other problems and play whatever i wanted. i'm gonna try again with Dead Space 2 since alot of the anxiety & symptoms from hypokalemia come from the times i've passed out standing up, came to & thought i was dying (i fell flat on my weights and it knocked the wind out so i couldn't breathe). just being off balance triggers severe anxiety (because of those traumatic experiences). since it's getting alot more manageable, i'm going to give it another try.

anyway, sorry so much useless info, but it's really hard to explain (even to the doctors i have to see). my doctors understand and usually help me to describe the feelings, because i can't think of words to describe the terror i feel in many instances.

That was kind of the point, what do you expect to get for $200-$300. The RAM and video card that I mentioned are almost $200 each:lol:

That sucks twztid, I've seen the effects of anxiety attacks before. I had a psychology class in college so I kind of remember what the causes for anxiety and phobias were but I had thought that maybe there were better treatments or medications now. Does eating more potassium rich food help with the hypokalemia?
 
Well, I took the Ford to the radiator place and they couldn't find a leak anywhere even after putting the system under pressure...

You are so dirty. I hate you.

I can round up about 400-450, but I would need a cheap but relatively good notebook as well.

I should also mentioned, refurbished/used aren't an issue. May try to buy some stuff of from CAGs, see if someone can offer what I am looking for at reasonable offers.
 
bump

foods high in potassium arent enough for me. i have to take 20 m/eq of potassium hybromide? a day and i still have low readings sometimes (have to get blood tests once a month). i still have to eat potassium rich diet on top of that. it just came out of nowhere. so many tests and doctors have no idea why it was fine for 31 years then plummeted.

i wish i could afford to move. until i can find work, i can't afford to do much of anything. anyway, enough of my pity party, lol.
 
Ghosthunters:

i'm not sure why i keep watching that show. The wife likes it more than me. In 10(?) seasons they've only caught 2 or 3 things that were truly Paranormal. mostly it's crap.

Bump
 
Thanks for all the bumps everyone :)

I had the same problem with my radiator dabamus, it ended up being a tiny rock that had lodged itself in my radiator. I don't know what year your car is but it ended up being easier and cheaper to just replace it myself on a car from 94.

I think that to get a desktop and notebook for $400 to $450 you're going to have to either get it from CAG, Craigslist or eBay Megiddo.

having sudden onset of any condition would make me worried twztid. I would try and look online to see if there's any info online since doctor's don't always know everything. I usually go to the Mayo clinic website since I don't have access to the medical research journals at school anymore.

The Ghosthunters have actually caught stuff on tape?! I only watched a little bit of some episodes when it first started and it was funny because they were always so excited but they never actually found anything 50f9 ;)
 
Thanks for the bump good chap!

Unfortunately, I believe I am the lead detective on finding Handsome, but no luck is coming my way. Like I posted in his thread, he does disappear every now and then, and I've been meaning to get a good way to contact him when it happens just to make sure he's doing alright, but I haven't had any luck. I have him on my friends list on PSN, but he hasn't been on in over a month, so that's a bit frightening.

I checked for him on Facebook, again, no luck. It's not like I'm stalking the poor man, just trying to make sure he's not having any major problems or anything... He's always been super-nice, and a great guy, and I know he'd never just pull a fast one on CAG, since this place used to be like a home to him. I'm just a little bit worried.

Karl you are so silly. Check your PMs

Have you looked at geeks.com? It is a site I saw recently, very inexpensive computers in general. Their sale items have free shipping. Everything they sale for the most part is refurbished, which I have no issue. I checked out reviews for the site, and they are positive for the most part.

I am glad you know how to cook Karl.
 
Thanx for the Dantes inferno tip but you used a bad word. BUY. The only games i actually paid for in the last few years were the COD series and Halo series. Everything else has been a trade. LOVE this site!

no family history of kidney illness. the 1st 2 times time i passed out, i went to the hospital & they gave enough meds to make it normal & told me to eat more potassium rich foods. went 5 more times to the ER before the end of last year. they've checked my heart (wore halter monitor for 48hrs & saw cardiologist), kidneys, lungs, ct scans for brain, liver, & constant drug & blood tests. i visited www.wrongdiagnoses.com & searched around last year and found that guarana that is in the energy drinks i was drinking can deplete potassium, but i have drank nothing except water for 1 year & its still low.

i had a problem w/ my platelets not clotting before and my legs filled up with blood so bad that they were black. i couldn't walk & was hospitalized for 4 days. they couldn't figure out what caused it, either. this was 2006. they gave me a blood transfusion and it seemed to fix it. i followed up with a cancer docter for 1 year afterwards. i am an only child, as is my mom. she left my dad when i was 2 months old (i never knew him). we have always been poor/no insurance. this expensive doctor was very generous in seeing me that long for free (giving me samples of all my meds at the time to save me money). anyway, internal bleeding is another cause of hypokalemia. they have found no evidence that i'm bleeding internally now, so my family doctor said he would keep me on prescription potassium supplements as long as i get monthly blood tests. i've been getting better (feeling more normal), but not having a job is devastating to my health. i get out as much as possible, but my body needs to get back to a normal cycle (besides making money). sorry for so much info, but i figured it couldn't hurt (& something may stand out to someone reading).
 
bump

your are dead on about the health insurance!

hey, i've got $3.50 i could gift you in paypal to mail that windows XP 64-bit. you think that'd be enough? if so, i'll pm you my address (pm me your paypal addy, too). no hurry for you to mail it, but i want to give you the postage fee while i have it. thanks, man.
 
Hey, I am not getting a netbook/notebook anymore. Just going to use that cash to get a all-in-one desktop. I am sure I will be able to get a great deal on one come Black Friday.
