  1. The Avengers - It was ok, not the best not the worst. Loooong!

     

    Opposite opinion here...Avengers was awesome and easily THE best Comic adapation movie ever.

    As for the Hunger Games? It sucked, the acting was very bland and it was an obvious take on Battle Royale, even though the author claims to have known nothing about it(ie; She's full of shit). I walked out of the theatre wanting my money back after seeing it.

  2. Playdium? Cool, but I think I prefer my basement...at least it has pins, 5 of them actually. Last time I was at Paydium, I think they had like 2 or 3 and they were in shit condition.

     

    I have:

     

    Bally\Midway Fireball Classic

    Williams Phoenix

    Gottlieb Arena

    Data East Robocop

    Atari Middle Earth

     

    I got rid of my video game arcade machines, pins are way more fun.

  3. Ok if we're going to touch on the Inflation aspect, which I've seen referenced before...I'll call bullshit. Let's take the SNES for example, and since it was released here in 1991, and had a (true) lifespan of 5 years we'll put the median for game prices at 1994.

     

    A 1994 Dollar, adjusted for inflation is worth $1.55 today. http://www.dollartim...s/inflation.htm

     

    SNES games when released were on average, $34.99(Probably something like $45 here). What's a game cost now? $59.99($69.99 for the same title here, such a ripoff when our dollar sits par or more often, but nevermind that).

    Yes of course there were pricier titles, as there are today, but we're talking "average".

     

    So while inflation has kept prices up, they are still higher by about 10% on average than they were then....and cart hardware cost MORE TO MAKE than cheap flimsy optical discs do now(Pennies...fractions of pennies, versus probably a few bucks a cart at least).

     

    The "Inflation" cop-out is serisously flawed, just on the principle of tech cost alone...todays software medium tech is easily 300x less costly, maybe more.

  4. Never bought any, never plan to. I also won't pay the sickening prices for games new these days either, $60-$70 a game? Screw that noise...

    so u dont buy new games at all?

     

    Define "new"...if you mean when they are first released, then no as I do not have the sheep mentality where I have to have it too. Probably helps that I don't care much for online play.

     

    If you mean new as in unopened, yes I have bought games that are new and sealed, when they've hit a ~$20 price point.

     

    The asking prices on new releases are absolutely disgusting.

  5. Just further progress towards the rest of the world putting up walls around the US...soon enough US users will be blocked from outside websites, kinda like alot of US content providers block you unless you live in the US!

    Sucks for you guys, but that's what you get when you let your government have free range to play world police...

  6. She's not a teenager obviously but they're definitely not fake.

     

    Those are DEFINITELY fake ta-ta's, they're way too round to be real. If they are, that's one magic bra....but I was more refering to what looks lik facelift/botox and hair extension. I'd still hit it, but it's nothing special for sure.

  7. Own a 2005 Hyundai Accent 5 in gunmetal grey. Loaned it to my mother for 8 months, got it back via tow-truck needing several (mechanical)repairs, never again...it's currently sitting in my garage until I can get it done in the spring(money and I don't wanna work on it in the cold.

     

    My Fiance has a 2001 Pontiac Montana, which I'm mainly driving at the moment. Piece of shit...US companies can't build a quality vehicle anymore to save their lives. I will NEVER buy a vehicle from the big 3, I previously owned an 89 Cavalier myself, and a 94 Dodge Spirit. Both fairly solid cars, but everything newer that friends and family have owned have been nothing but poorly built headaches.

     

    I also ride...owned a 2008 Honda CBR 600RR that was written off at 3 months old by some stupid douche making an illegal turn infront of me. Currently have a 2000 Ninja 500R sitting in the garage with just over 4000km on it, I'm probably gonna sell it as it's not what I was looking for in a bike.

  8. My avatar is screwed...wonder if re-upping it would fix it.

     

    And I'm finding that either the site is slow, or certain aspects of the forum software is. Category pages load fine, and topics load ok...viewing pofiles however seems to take forever to load.

     

    Edit: Definitely the forum software itself, going back to the main index took an execution time of over 10 seconds.
