The Spooky OTT

Hotline Miami is all sorts of fucked up. I think the main character is schizophrenic. I also don't get motion sick from games but god damn do the visual effects in this screw with you.
 
Two more days to go this week. Then the wife works thsi weekend so I have to watch all three kids (shudder). Have to start planning meals and activities now before I wake up sleep deprived on Saturday.
 
[quote name='Number83']Morning, OTT.

Happy Friday...for me! :whee:[/QUOTE]

Ditto. Three day weekend coming up!
 
I think this third kid will finally be "normal" (fingers crossed).

I'm strangely not enjoying DW Gundam 3 as much as I did the second one. It's essentially the same game.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Budget Budge are you Mormon or Jehova Witness? I'm thinking the latter but I don't remember. If the former, I'm curious who you voted for.[/QUOTE]

Well I don't wear magic underwear...
 
[quote name='seanr1221']I'm buying a Lumia 920 tomorrow. Goodbye iPhone 4.[/QUOTE]

Wait...WHAT?!?! How? Where?

I think that covers all my questions. :D
 
It comes out tomorrow. 99.99 on contract at AT&T. I'm buying it at a store near King of Prussia with cash. Answer your questions?

I'll definitely post impressions.
 
Yes, Thanks Sean. Please post your impressions! I was just on ATT.com.

So let me get this straight:

Plan:
Mobile Share 4GB with Unlimited Talk & Text
$70.00




Services:
Mobile Share for Smartphone 4G LTE

$40.00





One-Time Activation Fee

$36.00
___

$110 dollars a month...Why do I need both plans?
 
That's odd. You shouldn't need both. You need a data plan and talk plan, you can only get unlimited or no texts, but both seems odd. I'm on my brothers family plan so I'm not much help with this stuff.

Edit - mobile share sounds like the goofy tethering stuff but I'm not sure.
 
I think I'll drop by an ATT store tomorrow on my day off and ask. I'm OK with $70...$110, not so much.

Thanks again! Looking forward to your review.
 
For those of you that are more knowledgeable about computers than I am, how is this specs/price wise for a mid-level gaming system? It won't really be used for high-end modern games.

[quote name='darthbudge']Never seen it, but it's looks good so I got it. Thanks![/QUOTE]


Make sure to post your impressions when you're done. I assume you'll like it though. I should really watch it again. Levitt was great in it.
 
Uhm, hello? I did make a Cell Phone/Plans thread.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331202
(which promptly vanished off the face of the earth)

I'm in the same boat. I'm finally upgrading my cheap, do nothing AT&T Go phone.
I'm cheap so I just went with a no contract virgin mobile phone
Kyocera Rise for $79.
Went with the Unlimited data, unlimited text, 400 mins per month $35. No-contract.

They had cheaper plans with more minutes and less data, but much lower quality (and cheaper) phones.
Wife pays about $90 a month for unlimited everything on Sprint, I believe.

I think that there is a way to get that plan for $ 25 through virgin mobile. There's a thread about it at slickdeals.
 
8 more hours til freedom and a three day weekend. I think I'll try to go see Skyfall and finish up my Christmas shopping. (prob just end up stting in my house playing Skyrim, getting gin drunk, and eating cheetos though)

I couldn't find it. This is the time of year i start checking slick deals daily, too.

Saw a thread that target will have the same phone on sale black friday for $29. (Oh well.)
Also a thread that Wal-mart will have 1Gig data plan for $19. But you had to buy the phone at wal mart. (?)

I've seen worse, and the price is obviously telling you that this isn't a super computer. Games that are a couple years old should be able to run on it perfectly fine.

Only if you don't sell their shitty replacement plans.

If they want you to quit, yes.
 
Lol at skrillex in blops2

I am debating switching phones as I'm out of contract and I have always liked that phone in both yellow and black.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']black. I really don't like gloss, matte is where its at.[/QUOTE]

You really kicked the iPhone habit huh?


Oh bee tee dubb, I'm addicted to X-Com.
 
Went with my Mom to Beef O' Brady's for supper. Pretty good place. It replaced a really terrible local pub where the service and food were bad.
 
I dislike the whole concept of college football and the status it has been elevated to. ( bitter nerd)

It's getting down to 38 degrees tonight. Activate the channel 8 STORM TEAM!

(Currently watching Marge vs the Monorail)
 
Damn might have to exchange my phone. I think I have a faulty battery. Yesterday it was dead by 2:30. People in the Lumia neogaf thread are getting double that for battery. I'm going to let it die then charge to 100% a few times before going back to ATT.
