[quote name='shrike4242']All the scathing emails about the Xbox 360 fiasco must have done some good. Including mine.

They gave me a dib on the $100 toys/games credit + Amazon Prime for $120, which is what I voted on for this week. :D[/QUOTE]

They game me jack and shit. And jack left town.

If I had the mopney I'd buy that 360 at TRU Next week. But unfortunately I'm about to drop eight bills on having my floors refinished.
 
[quote name='6669']Damn, I should have complained too.[/quote]
I was pissed at them for it being such a fucked up mess, plus letting people go directly to their https:// site to bypass all the traffic was fucking ridiculous. There was no reason for them to have such a boondoggle like they did. And I told them as such in an email to their CS.

I guess after last week's mess of the DVD players selling out in seconds :roll: , they decided to change it around for the people who didn't vote for the winning item.
 
Anyone have recommendation for a wrestling fan for around $10?

I know he actually wrestled the Dudley boys once so I was thinking of getting him those as action figures but I havem't seen them anywhere.

They may be caught in action figure limbo. They left WWE a while ago and I don't know if TNA has made a figure of them. They have a new name BTW (Team 3D).

I would ask in the wrestling thread if you are looking for a figure since some of the people over there collect them.

As far as something for around 10 bucks, a book like Death of WCW might be good or the CM punk DVD that is coming out in a few weeks (I have not seen the content but he is a really good wrestler). If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks and can find it at Wal-Mart, the best of the X-division volume 1 and 2 double pack has like 7 hours of great matches.

Did download it off OiNK? The chorus for Hip-Hop Is Dead on the torrent from OiNK is different.

Thanks for the advice. Looking around I might spend a little more and get the Rise and Fall of ECW.

OIr better yet get Turning the Tables.

Yeah, I got if from OiNK. I thought I got the censored version because the chorus says "wreck" instead of "kill", but than I heard "bitch ass nigga" on the following tracks. I don't know what's up with that.
 
Home from work. Shitty, shitty day at work. Just going to sit at home, smoke and play video games tonight. "With that distain in my membrain, Got on my pimp game, fuck the world my defense came."

Rise and Fall is a really good retrospective. Even better is that at most stores it comes bundled with the first ONS (relaunching of ECW that took place last year).

Do it yourself and save your wallet.

It's not that expensive and can have a relatively short turnaround, especially if you're doing something that's not high-traffic. (Oil based poly is probably better for high traffic, but water based poly works just fine in low-medium traffic areas (like bedrooms).

If you have a big area, rent yourself a buffer and go nuts. You could have the sanding done in probably less than a day for most houses... polying would take a little longer, but you'd save a nice chunk of change and have the satisfaction of your beautiful floors being a product of your own hands. :D

Everyone is telling me to do it myself but I'd rather have someone else do it. My fathers in construction and he recdommended that with these floors. Not to mention there are steps and a landing, and that has to be done by hand. We're ghetting a decent trate topop, a $1.80 a square foot.
 
[quote name='Admiral Ackbar']Everyone is telling me to do it myself [/quote]
i did our two guest rooms with lionhart's assistance. it's really not that bad to do yourself if you have the right tools and supplies ready ahead of time. the worst part for me was using a palm sander for the whole floor in both rooms.

*edit* using the sander wasn't the worst part. cleaning up the dust was the worst part.
 
I've been looking into a new computer mouse for a while now. Being that I've been getting back into PC games (having a decent PC helps with that), I decided to look into some gaming mice. With the Google Checkout coupon I picked up a Razer Copperhead for around $35. When I read some reviews elsewhere saying it's an extremely fast mouse I thought it sounded cool.

Well it finally came in the mail today and damn, this mouse is truly fast as hell. There's going to be a fairly decent learning curve with this beast, that's for sure.

Same here. Tomorrow evening can't come soon enough... I envision a $450 paycheque for this week. I'm stoked. :D

it's open to all people with AIDS and people that work for ASO's (AIDS service orgs). it's supposed to be snowy. I have 3 different radio broadcasting companies contracted to provide snow closing info just in case. the hotel (where the event is going to be) has my cell phone in case they decide to cancel all events due to weather. ugh.

I guess I don't qualify.

We might be getting snow over here, too. If that happens I just might take the day off from work.

i'm leaving after the event (noon-ish). after the past week leading up to this freaking event i'm going crazy. really. my eye is ready to pop out of my head. which reminds me, i have 36 yards of ribbon and 200 mini safety pins in the car. i need to make at least 100 red ribbons for tomorrow. fuuuuuck.

You get snowed every night.

I make sure of it.
 
finally a kinda kick back day but I should start preparing for my math final this saturday.

also for the past week my fucking internet has stopped working from about 9 pm til 8 am. havent had a chance to call comcast but hopefully my roommate gets home early tonight so he could call them.
 
[quote name='getmeoutofjoliet']So I quit my job today.

Awesome. I plan on deep-sixing my job come February. Medical Center of the Rockies is desperate for Clinical Assistants, and hopefully the CA positions at Poudre Valley Hospital won't have filled up by then. All I need to do is take a course on Medical Terminology (easy subject for me). :D
 
What a night. I ignored people so I didn't have to do anything. Been sitting in my boxers playing PS2 for about 2 hours now. :D Too bad I have to work tomorrow :sad:.

Funny story about this.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my older sister got this for her son to watch. She is uber over-protective about him in terms of the things he's exposed to. I gave him Feel the Magic last Christmas (he's 13 now) and she swiped it away and berated me about giving it to him. You see, she is worried he'll learn about violence and sex and women and all the other things a normal 13 year old boy craves to learn about. She's a bit religious for my tastes, and since she and the father divorced about 6 months after he was born (total high school pregnancy thing), she basically flips out if anyone (in her eyes) challenges her parental authority.

This is always a chore every Christmas, as I try to give him games (no one else seems to) for his systems, and she completely thinks everything I am giving him is total trash. Or. Paganistic or something. I really have no clue.

At any rate, she gets him this movie and he watches it. I'm in the room grinding through FF2 (which is a bitch, btw) and just listening about how every other word is a cuss word. Then the one somewhat erotic scene in the middle of the movie.

She wasn't watching it, but her new husband (who might actually be more of a prude than she is) was flipping out, especially during that somewhat erotic scene (which is really nothing more than a lot of innuendo and double entendre). I'd see him twitch with every cuss word.

Double standards are so FTW. She flipped out when I got my nephew to switch beds with me, so I could be in the main room and watch TV after he went to sleep. This set her the fuck off. I was amazed.

This all said, the only thing I do with my nephew is let him know he can call me about anything and I'll give him a straight answer without any kind of ulterior motive, which is more than I can say about most other people around him.

Also, as for the movie itself, I did like that Bernie Mac taught the Asian guy on his team proper trash talk ettiquette. He quizzes him later and says "Kiss my...." The Asian guy goes "BLACK ASS!"

That was a good line.

It felt AWESOME to quit, there had been way too much tension the past few days, knowing me and a few other people were gonna eventually get fired, but we knew it was true when they hired 4 more people today and wanted to start training people for our positions. So me and my friend said fuck it, took an extra long lunch break and actually ate at a normal pace (30 minutes to wait in line to go through a metal detector and get out of the room, wait in line again at the cafeteria and sit down and eat is impossible.) Came back and said our good-byes to all the cool people (the rest of those whiny brown-nosing assholes can die from AIDS for all I care) The best part is we were receiving 4000 units today, double the highest amount we have ever received. Who's gonna file those phones now, bitch!?



:mrgreen:
 
I got a 100 on the Lab Practical I needed a 70 on.

I'm finally going to graduate and get my AA.

I finally feel like I've accomplished something in my life.

In addition to my OTHER awesome news I already posted, now my DDR Mario Mix just sold on Ebay for $130.

That's more than 1/2 of a Wii, and I know of a few stores I think where I can grab some more ;)

That is insane. I'm gonna head out this weekend to see if they have any at Target or EB... they had them last weekend so I'm hoping.

I just want it to play ;P

The one I sold tonight is the one I kept for over a year sealed... I bought it with the full intention of playing it, but my Cube is never hooked up anymore so it just sat in my closet.

Fast forward to now, and I won't get $130 worth of enjoyment out of it, EVER... if I'm going to play DDR I'm just gonna pop one into the PS2.

Funny how everyone is so amazed at Mario DDR yet no one cares I'm finally graduating ;)
