  1. Been playing WoW for the past month, I'm waiting for cataclysm like no tomorrow come next week. Have a guild of 10 Locals so its pretty bad ass, also I've realized that its much cheaper than what I was doing prior to me re-starting the game. The grind-fest is slowly disappearing from the game (I made a new toon, at level 30 atm), in the time that its taken me to level to 30, I've helped save one of the major city leaders from dying, cleared an entire area of opposite faction mobs with nuclear missiles, and watched an Orc die in my hands for the sake of the Horde. I don't believe that in its current setting WoW can beat what I expect in a MMO (for you still from time to time, spot instructions from the designers to extend your time playing), but until Guild Wars 2 I'm stuck playing what I can, and its the best at the moment in the genre (WoW I mean). I only hope that when it does get released, GW2 does beat my expectations and it becomes what the original goal of an MMO was all those years ago when I was first introduced to the genre.
  2. I prefer AMD atm, it offers more flexible choices with the other parts. I haven't been keeping up with the Intel series post I7 however and that could have changed. If you're building a gaming rig, then I would think twice about sticking a quad core in it, it is the way of the "future" but most if not all games require nothing more than a duel core (again, opening up more space with other parts). With video cards, I would go ATI series straight up, they have a shit ton of more cores, the only thing that I would consider from the Nvdia 4XX series would be the speed, if it's not a 58XX it won't go faster than the Nvdia, and even then I don't know the difference between the DDR5 ram sticks in the 58XX series over the DDR3 in the Nvdia enough to tell you if it is indeed faster (it's what I've been told). I believe Cindr lives by the Asus, I'm currently using one as well and so is everyone around here who I've helped build or built for, I've never had a problem with them except for a bios chip upgrade on my first rig that took for a loop (I expected problems so it wasn't that bad). Do you have a case? They're easy to find (I have 4 empty ones in my room atm, they're "outdated" but a case is a case), could give you another $20-100 to save up on depending on you're goal with aesthetics. Also make sure you have a screwdriver if you're putting a mobo (with a static strap for the wrist, I've been told you just need to be barefoot on a hard floor but its a safety thing) into some cases. Are you going to "burrow" windows or purchase it for yourself? I'd help you go more into detail but I'm low on time atm, and I'm sure there are other members on the board that have the ability of being more informative, just throwing out there my 2 cents for now.
  3. I'd be able to go at it Shiba, but to each their own, it's in my personal opinion one of the most fun films I've ever watched, even if it goes against a ton of rules in standard film. I'm not saying it's an Oscar worthy film that influences emotion the way a good film does (however it does move me), but it did entertain me, immensely. I just watched Sherlock Holmes, maybe it's because I went in expecting shit (word of mouth by my friends, one even told me the ending was disappointing for him while I found it fitting and the entire point of Sherlock), but I found it interesting. I'm a little disappointed that they insisted on focusing the story on Holmes relationships and not him himself. The story however was compelling and I was consistently attempting to keep up with the movie's train of thought (from the very beginning , the "little" things was what I was looking for). I enjoy movies that I can't figure out the ending with using story analysis (as long as the end makes sense, Shit Shymalon has been horrible with that since the 6th sense, and even then I can't vouch for that movie since I haven't seen it in a long time), I'm hoping there is a sequel .
  4. Same here, the store brand disc packs go on sale for the same price but usually a dollar less.
  5. When on sale the dvd-r's (50 pack) here drop to about $5. They always usually on sale...
  6. Damn where you get that Cinder? We had the WD's here for that same price, and they were 1 TB.
  7. Those may be the only type of people that you know that liked the movie, but something I always read into with the comics and the film is the "fuck the douchebag" mentality. The film does a bad job of portraying this, but the comics biggest point resembles a Saturday morning cartoon G.I. Joe public announcement that asks the viewer to NOT be a dumbass (IE: Asshole, Hipster, Douchebag). Hell the evil ex's all have a dip shit quality that the movie constantly says don't follow (when the majority of the world does). Idk it's kind of hit or miss for a lot of people, but I enjoyed it a lot, not just the video game references or the jokes but the way it kinda tingles my metaphor senses. The best argument I've read for the older crowd not enjoying the film is the constant ADD attitude it has with its material. I can agree that the film does not STFU (and at times feels like a 7 year constantly pinching at you for attention), but that's something I personally enjoyed about it. Felt like an action flick with more to it.
  8. Lol wow, you're completely putting the movie in the wrong group of bullshit in this world.
  9. Lol I like the website where I can order Spam from .
  10. I have watched Scott at least 10 times since it arrived at my house last week.
  11. Just found one at http://www.di.fm/ seriously sexy music. But I was wondering if anybody here had any other sites. Or other gaming music, like http://www.rainwave.cc/ I like that station but it tends to play some slow gaming music that doesn't suit what I'm ever doing lol.
  12. FB auto-locks you out when someone from a different location logs on your shit.
  13. I cream my pants every time I touch it.
  14. I got that but I didn't get it "that way". I understood it as a take on modern culture, I met kids that fell into each "evil ex" category every day in high school and they were all douche bags at the end of the day that anybody would want to see get beat down. But a lot of the stuff in the movie did get mixed with music for the sake of pace, in the books the events took place over a year and a half of time and there wasn't any "battle of the bands".
  15. Scott Pilgrim is hit or miss for everyone apparently. I enjoy the movie to death and consider it a must watch for anyone who does anything game related, even though they're truly just additions to its story(as is its hilarity and music, the entire point of the story is a modern take on growing up). I remember reading a review on Destructoid where the reviewer stated he was afraid that the current adults (late 20s early 30s) would understand it yet scoff it off as "trying too hard". But I felt pleased with the film, having read the series about 5 times already I found it quite pleasing to see it on the screen (part of me still feels it could have been better as a series, there is simply too much back story to satisfy my fan side of the film, but my appreciation for the film is extremely high as I consider it something that should have been explored a long time ago). Remembering one of Edgar's interviews, he asked why a video game movie with video game speech hasn't been made yet, after watching Scott I can only agree that it's a style that should be built upon.
  16. I'm interested as to how you came about to that conclusion?
  17. Thanks for the info, and I'm jail breaking for the carrier.
  18. Anybody here have any experience with this? I'm going to attempt to do this tomorrow but can't find any links I would consider "trustworthy". If anybody can post some links/tuts it would be greatly appreciated .
  19. Supposedly it's a fake, but if it's true I might finally get around to buying a smart phone.
  20. Omg I would woop a little child to the ends of the earth if that shit was mine. Love ain't worth that much holmes.
  21. Anything with pizza in it, or on it, is my favorite food.
  22. Really fun demo, hope the entire game gets made, I'm surprised as much as the rest of the internet that Sega's lawyers haven't already destroyed the creators of this.
