Awesome. Warranty's are a pretty sweet deal.randomlyrossy said:
It's actually super super easy and costs a lot less than an out-of-warranty repair but I understand how some people would be nervous dicking around the inside of hardware. The repair would cost a lot less than buying a whole new 360 in the case that you mess up the repair yourself.
Man, I'm trying to hold off getting ME2 and finishing up a big ol backlog but all this talk from people is whittling down my defenses. BALLS.

Just got all 3 from a dude at work for $50.
The one in the center is our fail of a hockey team here in Jackson, MS. They got shut down in 2003

OMG Aero said:The fifth part of my slowly growing PS2 collection arrived today:
I am thinking about buying a PS2 just so I can own SOTC and ICO.
Wow. This must've had a massive effect on your life. Was it because of the snow, by the way? A White night can result in these things ;/ But don't look at the darkside. There's always a last hope.Gouken said:i got into a major car accident that totalled my car which renders every game i'll buy for many months unexciting

Good to hear you're all right. I thought I was going to die on the way home from getting Bioshock 2 because it managed to come a blizzard while I was gone. It sucked, what is usually a 10 minute drive back was more like 30 minutes. I practically slid the whole way back. :lol
I laugh about it now but I wasn't last night. JORDAN THOMAS YOUR GAME BETTER BE AMAZING

wow, you ok or injured?
well, at least you have some awesome games to get over the shock
Majine said:
you seriously made my day and put a smile on my face after reading that smart reply!
it was just a damp road and my tires were on the verge of wearing out, so i spun out of control like mad
likely i'm fully insured, but still i still have to pay a lot from my own pocket since the car value depreciated and i caused public damage to a fence and shit, which i had to pay close to $1000 to repair

I heartily approve of both of these. I haven't seen BSS in a couple of years and I'm looking forward to seeing them on the island again. They usually pull out all the stops for the hometown shows, so I'm hoping they get all the girls onstage. Also, well...Pavement!
Which pressing of Loveless is that? I'm pretty certain that one came out in the late 90s that was all messed up....something about "improperly compressed drums". I'm not a musician so I don't know the details but I remember it being worth a few bucks more. Either way "When you sleep" is definitely in my top 20 songs, and the album is in my top 10.

why not just listen to brian eno then?Lemmy Caution said:
I've heard loveless I just didn't get it I'm a person of the mind that music sometimes fit time or place in your life. Coming out of my punk phase to the "I heard radiohead and it blew my mind" phase. When Loveless started making the circle of friends, I was in the saddle creek records "folk" revival and Modest Mouse Built to Spill stuff. Is loveless just heard to get into or are their more accessible shoegaze albums? Mind you I hate Sonic Youth.WEGGLES said:Well it's music, so I doubt a picture of a record will change anything for you
February has been awesome so far. And starting next week I will be on vacation so I can start playing all those new games.
But some other loot for now:
My newest rodent, the Razer Mamba. I love it already, the DPI is crazy and the packaging was batshit insane.
Alan Moore's From Hell graphic novel. A good read, but now I wish I had gone with the hardcover (the paperback feels iffy).
And the Metal Gear Solid 4 artbook. This is a rather phenomenal piece of material, with massive illustrations for all characters, concept drawings of what the BB unit could have looked like and so much more. Obviously heavy spoilers for anyone who hasn't finished the game so far.
Also got the following PS3 games in the mail: Bioshock 2, Sturmovik, Star Ocean, NFS Shift. Picked up Castlevania Curse of Darkness for the PS2 as a rarity find in the local game store.

Awesome art style on that poster, I listened to them a long time ago, haven't heard anything they recently put out. Surprised there is not tons of Bioshock 2 posts..

goMaki said:Just got back from the Splicers Unite / GameStop Midnight Release Party for BioShock 2. I got some really cool stuff and a special surprise from 2K! All the Developers that attended signed out copies, so they kindly signed my CE! I am so HAPPY! I was the last one to get their copy ( held out for a lone CE since I pre-ordered at a different GameStop; Manager was kind enough to let me purchase the last one available ) signed, so I believe they took more time in talking with me and signing it. <3 So ecstatic!
Signed CE:
Sorry for the crap quality! I know my camera sucks. I haven't actually opened the game yet, so maybe inside content pics later. For now, sleep. It was all worth it...
God I hate you!!! lol, actually I'm just toooo jelous; and I know quoting pics is taboo, but F it; those beauties need to be seen again and again. Nice job!
here's some of my swag. Not nearly as awesome as yours though.

Did I forget to mention how much I hate you! lol.goMaki said:I thought to share some of my BioShock 2 event/Launch Party pickups. The figures were not from there, but I still picked them up recently.
Everything:
O.O.L. Wanted poster they were handing out:
They were giving out shots of Cherry Vodka, Red Bull and Cranberry juice in plastic syringes. The nice "Officer" gave us both a card scattered around the missing body:
The two Splicer masks they so generously gave out to us after the I.O.O.P event concluded:
Can't wait for the Splicers Unite! event tonight. I'm hoping for more swag.

That poster is hellua cool. I was wondering the same thing I wonder if the fact that Bioshock 2 is not reviewing as well as people were hoping is effecting that. Not to say a B isn't good I'm just saying compared to Mass Effect 2.red shoe paul said:

I was very lucky to have both events very close to home! Your stuff rocks, too! My local GS where I pre-ordered my first copy is supposed to be giving me some of the stuff like you have ( posters, box ). I'm at least hoping for that midnight release poster. That just looks awesome.MortalMonkey said:

I'm quite sure it's the newer pressing then, it sounds excellent.PalaceBrother said:
I'm most pumped for Pavement, but BSS I've heard amazing things about live. AAA can't wait. And there's more acts TBA. Maybe DMST?
Well. Not everyone will like everything. It takes a bit to get into. But if you've listened to it a bunch and aren't feeling anything maybe it's not for you?practice02 said:

I love my Harmony One but I'm just hoping the buttons don't start to fail after a year like my other Harmony remotes did.
