OMG, did I have a freakout moment when I found a clip of this on YouTube. Haven't seen it since I was VERY YOUNG.

Here, check it out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqi5F5MqqTQ). See if you remember it too.

Seriously I despise Mark Twain. His books were... not good to say the least. My preference though.

~sigh~ a slice of Cake at my school's Bake sale...I got a huge sweet tooth for cake man.

I like to spend.

I am now living HD. I picked up a 32" Sony Bravia HDTV in all black and a black, glossy, glass tv stand all to complement my PS3. Everyone, movie and game night at my place!

Updating with pics! I went from this...


to this!

Sweet! I hope your PS3 is now hooked up to the new TV via HDMI instead of the ol' RCA. That usually brings on better pics.

Actualy it was hooked up to my old tv with component cables. But I did switch to HDMI, not as an upgrade since they both do the same, but I like having 1 cable going into the tv instead of 5.

Should I go back and get my Selphie, now?

^^ Awesome sauce. Where can I find one of Ashe?

She's not in that line. At least not the first run. You got a real figure of her :mad:

I want one like that of Penelo.

Yeah, they don't make the Play Arts figure of Penelo, at least not yet. Just Ashe, Vaan, Balth..whatever and Judge Gabranth. Oh, and I just ordered the Play Arts FFVII Cloud and Tifa the other day.

Balthier

I did, I did!

^^ Awesome sauce. Where can I find one of Ashe?

comes out in April iirc

I am not really into final fantasy much these days but I'm in love with these things.

bottle of coke zero

Corona extra.

Was gonna make a video review like KNeg, unfortunately I came out sounding not too good. So pictures it is.


V.Smile Pocket. One wonders how it got the pocket moniker. Certainly doesn't fit into my pants pocket the way my DS Lite does. It has a crappy LCD display (ancient PSTN based LCD, and thus blurs and ghosts when there's lots of action on screen), plus, it's mono only. And at it's price, an extra US$15 could've gotten me a modded PSP. However, for what's it worth, it's games features a lot of speech samples (which I find lacking on games out for the DS/GBA), it has a unique technology that allows one to flip the D-Pad and action button, and it's size and shape doesn't give me RSI as much as my DS Lite did. And oh, I needed it to run a particular Care Bears game I bought of eBay.


Comparison to my DS.


Strawberry Shortcake shampoo and shower gel. Gonna try this tomorrow and see if it's any good.

A Black Nintendo DS Lite w/ FFXII Revenant Wings.

Worth every penny...

Give me your Ouran High School Host Club, kkthx. But anyway, she is incredibly adorable and I am jealous.

Also, I just commissioned my Sailor Scout tiara for Chibi Moon so that, ladies and gentlemen, would be my latest purchase.

But anyway, she is incredibly adorable and I am jealous.

I desperately want the Ogiue/Renko statue, but I can't find it here in the UK.
:puppydog: Boohoos.



Also, I just commissioned my Sailor Scout tiara for Chibi Moon so that, ladies and gentlemen, would be my latest purchase.

Now I'm jealous.

Now I'm jealous.
Only cost me $6. It's actually foam painted gold with a gem and such. But I'd rather wear a comfy piece of foam that looks great than metal.

I recently found out my Chibi moon wig won't cost me over $200, I'm incredibly excited ^_^ Just as soon as my Warcraft account sells I can start working full force on everything else !

a box of ramen

I, for one, welcome our gigantic guinea-pig overlords and their cohorts.

2 x 1GB PC2700 RAM
1 450 watt echostar power supply
1 nVidia XFX 7200 GS with 256mb vram and 512mb if you have at least 1 gig of RAM.

totaling about $80

School lunch

$1.40 worth of goodness...sorta

My work lunch today cost me like $9 ;( They had a fancy fresh made flank steak salad though, and it was delicious so it was worth it. Sorta. I had a cookie too.

Sauerkraut.

Yummy.

this has become a what have u bought to eat lately thread....

well i bought a double double for din din

if ur from cali u kno what im talking about!!

A venti Vanilla Latte, With an Extra Shot of Vanilla, extra shot of Espresso and made extra hot <3<3<3

Latest purchase has to be 2 Final Fantasy figues. I just recently bought the new FF VII figues with their original looks. The play arts line I believe. I got Tifa and Aerith. Still waiting on the Cloud figue with bike.

2 x 1GB PC2700 RAM
1 450 watt echostar power supply
1 nVidia XFX 7200 GS with 256mb vram and 512mb if you have at least 1 gig of RAM.

totaling about $80

Is echostar a good brand? I've never heard of it. Also, are you sure 450w is going to be enough for the rig? I made a miscalculation once, and ended up having to spend more money on a higher capacity PSU a while later.

Again, school lunch... cost me like $2.50 since I bought a BLT sub and the second choice....totally worth it though

Yeah I should have a 50-100 watt surplus. And seeing as the video card asks for a minimum of a 300 watt power supply it should be sufficient.

As far as the brand it's just average I would have gone for a better one but, I couldn't find a cheap one. I hear the only complaint is a loud fan, but you can replace the PSU fan.

I bought Excel Saga IMperfect collecton, Platinum boxset of Evangelion and the boxset of the evangelion movies.

FFT:TWOL
Transformers Movie Deluxe Arcee - This will be my first attempt at customizing, so stay tuned to the Transformer thread :coolegg:!!!
Hooded Cobra Commander
and a
Mega Bloks Plasma Tech Cyborg Pod - I got this 'cause it reminded me of some toys I used to get from a vending Machine when I was a kid. The ones I got came pre-assembled and were about 1 inch tall when built. Although they came in fu-gly colors, they looked cool cause they resembled Macross, Gundam, Voltron and all kinds of other cartoon mechs.

Its a Circa Survie T-shirt.
Not the greatest band but i like them. Its as colorfull and kept my attention.

A large chicken pizza.

You know how, uh, when you grab a woman's breast, and you feel it, and it, uh, feels like a bag of sand?

Lol I remember that, the 40-Year Old Virgin.

Got the book "Dreamweaver CS3 for dummies" yesterday.

Because my uncle in Singapore insists that I create a webpage in Dreamweaver for him instead of my usual HTML hand-code or MS Frontpage method.

You know how, uh, when you grab a woman's breast, and you feel it, and it, uh, feels like a bag of sand?

I went to see No Country For Old Men in teh theat0rs and I bought some food, SOME FOOD

No real purchases worth talking about until next Saturday, when I trade my current car in for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer (and get the hands-free bluetooth and navigation system in it).

Pictures to be posted once I get it home, maybe, once I'm done playing with the GPS system and getting familiar with everything in it.

Here he is at his first birthday (dog years)

A bag of chips... the best kind in the world... SABRITONES!!!!!!!!!!

W00t! Here's a pic of just a couple of the latest things I've purchased:




The TaleSpin sure does bring back memories. I remember that coming out back in '90 when I was 7. The CD on the right is Bjork.

I also bought some Adhesive Caulk (for a cosplay wig stubbing technique I've just recently heard of), my sisters birthday present (a 12" glass dolphin), and my shipping fees for a Christmas present for my best friend Angela and an ebay item I just sold.

Bought some rolaids.

Seriously though, I just bought a Wii Zapper monstrosity and a PSP TV output cable from Amazon. They should come on Wednesday. My self-respect should reach them by Thursday.

Back to Basics by Amy Winehouse

Hahahaha.

Here he is at his first birthday (dog years)



it's very nice of him to wish us all a happy birthday when it is, in fact, his own birthday

He's an unselfish type of dog.

What a lovely dog indeed.

$32 bucks for a full tank of gas - Petrol for you Euro-shriners.
$2.87 per US gallon, which is roughly 11.15 Gallons or 42.2 liters.

I see that the dog I've posted has become quite famous around here lately. Wow! lol

Anyway my latest purchase was my lunch today before my college class. It was a low calorie flat bread at Quiznos.

I also bought coffee and a cranberry muffin on campus.

Enzotech DDR-C1 forged copper heatspreaders, since I bough some oem Team Research memory with micron D9GMH chips that I intend to overvolt the fuck out of. I will, of course, remove the stock thermal tape and use real thermal compound.

Nice purchase. I got myself 2GB of these - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Crucial/Lanfest

Be careful with the voltage settings on that stuff. The 2.2v listed by Crucial is the absolute max you should put through them for 24/7 use. Any mroe than that will likely kill the memory over time.

Hitting 1152MHz will be more than enough I think anyway but cheers for the advice. Good to know these things lol before I try things out and blow up my PC... like I've done a few times in the past.

Just two days ago I moved everything into a new case and dropped my 250GB OS installed HDD... watched it bounce four times off my tile floors before it stopped... it didn't survive.

A box of Dots :D

Witchblade Volume 4. Damn, it's getting pretty good.

Wow I've been away for a while lol. Can't believe this thread is still going.[/IMG]

No, he was hired in the first.
The scene is as goes:
He walked in after seeing the ad for the job.
He was pretty much rejected everywhere,
and although he didn't believe in all that ghost stuff,
he decided why not give it a chance.
That's when Egon and Ray walking with a smoking, slime covered, trap
and that's how Winston gets more curious with the job and becomes one of the original Ghostbusters.

I have the ones in the middle - for those of you who don't know, the big guy in the middle is Pitt, and each figure has a piece to build him.
I just need Judge Dread and Ripclaw - the ones on ether end.

Madman is a sweeeeet toy
Yep!
I also found Ann O'Brian from the Build-A-Monkeyman line, but I'm not interested in that series except for The Darkness and Marv.

Secksy line up, I've never been into action figures but those are great.

The latest added to my Final Fantasy Play Arts collection. Final Fantasy VII

Burnout Paradise for the 360.

I don't care what anyone else says, I think this game is awesome.

I packed my 360 away since I'm moving in a couple weeks. When I get settled into the new place, that is one game I'm looking at buying :D

It's Friday, and what a haul I pulled in:
- G.I. Joe Sgt. Stalker
- Dreadnok Buzzer :)
- and several Hot Wheels "Rat Rod" style cars.

I'm thinking of going down to Walmart this weekend to see if I can hopefully find le coup de ma�tre, Ripclaw to complete my Pitt series set!

Where you going?

I picked up a Pioneer 215DBK Dual Layer Burner and an E2180 C2D CPU as my interim processor while I wait for the Penryn 45nm Quad Cores.

A Gatorade.. I didnt know they sold them in the UK.

Where you going?


upstate NY, but I'm already here D:

cheap standby tickets ftw

- 2 packs of Marlboro
- bottle of Evian
- apple pie
- Orange juice
- deodorant that doesn't leave white stains
- Something that makes my face less shiney

A bottle of Mars Milk

I bought infinite ammo for that.

Not my pic. Left my camera at work ;_;;

a slushi. hell yeah.

40GB PS3......
Uncharted, Drakes Fortune
Sonic

I finally pulled the trigger with $290.00 in BestBuy gift cards

A bottle of Mars Milk

I love that stuff.

A Nuts magazine

2 bottles of Mars milk, Jelly Tots and hair gel.

A Gatorade.. I didnt know they sold them in the UK.
Eh, they're even available here in Malaysia.

I bought some Cadburys Old Jamaica Rum and Raisin chocolate. Just came back from vacation, and those are extremely hard to find anywhere else other than duty free shops over here. Also, a bottle of Hooch orange-flavored booze, which I drank an hour ago and am beginning to feel the effects (I seldom drink, hence even a little bit of alcohol can pretty much cause me to mumble incoherently for a while).

My other purchase that I made before that? A My Little Pony Sing and Dance Pinkie Pie. Because it looked so cool on Youtube.

some formal clothes for new job in march. shirts, ties, trousers etc.

Maryland Cookies and Ready Salted Walkers.

A Diet Coke Zero.

Dracula and Stargate SG-1 season 2 DVD box set.

I now have them all. Mwahahaha!

A tube of hair gel.

Bottles of mineral water. I'm feeling extremely thirsty since morning.

40GB PS3......
Uncharted, Drakes Fortune
Sonic

I finally pulled the trigger with $290.00 in BestBuy gift cards

Awesome fucking game! Some of the best game play, reply value, graphics, etc. You should also get Ratchet and Clank Future and Heavenly Sword.

I heard that game was just meh, but plenty of add-ons in the PlayStation store.

I can't remember the last thing I purchased, BUT DON'T WORRY! I am resilient, resourceful and rich in self.


+ I AIN'T SCURRRED !!!

Bought my motherboard :/

Damn they just get more and more expensive everytime.




If people like having a motherboard that has pretty lights and has a heatsink that gets to too hot to touch temps... this is the board for you. It also is unbelievably fucking shit when it comes to overclocking quads... and the Supreme FX II "onboard sound" that you need to plug into it, was warped so I had to bend it to fit it on the PCI slot and have the ports properly exposed and set in the expansion slot....

If you're looking for a 780i motherboard.... don't. Wait for the 790i chipsets and pray they're better than these...



Note to self : RESEARCH MORE BEFORE BUYING!

Me and my stupid impulse buying crap. I'm just hoping there's a BIOS update that will fix this problem. This board cost $400AUD and I could have bought a $150AUD non-SLI board that would OC so much better than this. I'm fuming at the moment!

Sorry just needed to vent.

I decided to go to Toys R' Us during my class break. I'm glad I did, 'cause I snagged:

Serpentor
and
Cobra Officer

If you're looking for a 780i motherboard.... don't. Wait for the 790i chipsets and pray they're better than these...



Note to self : RESEARCH MORE BEFORE BUYING!

Me and my stupid impulse buying crap. I'm just hoping there's a BIOS update that will fix this problem. This board cost $400AUD and I could have bought a $150AUD non-SLI board that would OC so much better than this. I'm fuming at the moment!

Sorry just needed to vent.

lol I ended up with my fair shit from impulse buys.

lol, yeah. 1/5th the stuff in my room comes from my impulsive buying too. But when it comes to computing parts I tend to go overboard with the research.

I wish I had your patience. My most recent folly, i bought a PCI-E GPU nvidia 7200 GS to be specific. little did I know it was a PCI-E x16 card. So now I need a new motherboard, RAM, and case. Although it's more want than need

Well, for me, when building a new PC, I don't have as much funds as I'd like to have (especially after binging on eBay), so it takes time to save up for that. Hence I have time to do research. Also, I don't build new PCs often, so I have to make sure I made the right choice as the result will stick around for years to come.

I read over a dozen reviews on it from different sources. The issues that are popping up everywhere now are coming from personal users from the hardcore overclocking scene.

It doesn't matter, I'll just get a dual core and clock it to 4.0GHz and then keep it for a year until the new Nehalem chips are released.

All I need now is a powersupply and 2 x 500GB HDDs for storage and my computer will be complete.


Clicky for larger images. All I need now is PSU, case fans and storage HDDs.

Ow. Well, this kind of things happen. I personally don't overclock because the current setup of the rig is more than sufficient for what I intend to do tho (a little bit of emulation, and perhaps a few PC games). Btw, any beta BIOS for it? Tried making a fuss of it on Asus' support forums?

I guess no matter how much research one make, there's still room for mistakes.

Well, if you're going to overclock the thing, I recommend a good PSU. You don't want the PSU to go off with a bang during a heated multiplayer match.

Really? That show rapidly bored me tbh.

@Stenchlord I suggest a Antec PSU their PSUs are top notch, stylish, and have the best reputation. But as a result it may be a bit pricey so I'd suggest eBay, just get one with a warranty/return policy.

I believe it is.

I went to McDonalds while I was in Indiana and asked for a sweet tea. They handed me tea and a bunch of sugar packets.

''What the hell is this.'' I said. :D

No it's not popular but they seell tea in McDonalds and Burger King in Philly.

Well, they're having sweet green tea at McDonalds here in Malaysia. A limited time offer to coincide with Chinese New Year season I believe.

And yeah, you can get hot tea at McDonalds with sugar packets here at any time.

yeah, ive heard it has its fair share of problems. My XFX 680i board is more then adequate right now. best board ive ever had, overclocks good, and is ultra stable and no Vista issues, whatsoever.

also, my latest purchase was a new pair of shoes.

I just had a vanilla latte from starbucks

This baby here!!! It was about time I get an original copy of FFIX after all!!

I'd make love to a vanilla latte if i had the chance..

Yeah that was the main reason for originally going with the ASUS over the eVGA and XFX. ASUS' driver/BIOS support is normally fantastic.

I finally got around to building the bloody thing after I purchased my PSU and then installed/updated everything to latest.

I've done a really modest OC with the CPU atm. Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 2.0GHz stock is not at.... *drumroll* 2.4GHz... :/

Since I leave my PC on 24/7 I'll see how it goes after a few days then I'll look at pushing it further.

I've purchased a Corsair HX-620W Modular PSU.

Corsair and Antec have their PSUs made by the same company. Stock design is from out of the Seasonic factories, Antec and Corsair then do a little modification here and there and then rebadge and sell. All three have the 5 year warranty from each respective company :)

I was really interested in the XFX as I've been really happy with XFX in the past. e.g. My 8600GT OC out-doing my 7900GT OC and I've now purchased an XFX 8800GT 512MB OC Alpha Dog.

I would have gone the eVGA over the XFX though as XFX only supply a 2 year warranty compared to...


Link (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/01/10/xfx_nforce_780i_sli/7) - In that respect, XFX's two year warranty is clearly outshone by its American alternative, EVGA, which offers a fantastic and industry leading ten year warranty

Tell me if I got a good deal.

Compaq Presario tower:
Intel Celeron Processor 420
DVD/CD burner with LightScribe
1024MB memory
120GB HDD
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Windows Vista Home Premium

It was an open box at Best Buy for $200.

I have it plugged into my TV so now I have a 32" widescreen monitor. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-very-happy.gif

That's a pretty good deal since Windows would have cost half that on its own. 120GB is decent for windows + apps and 1GB is ok. Upgrading to 2GB would be recommended since Vista is the OS.

All in all a decent package for such a cheap price.

My old laptop is pretty bad. I've had it since 2000/2001 so anything new is a million times better.

Here's the old guy...
Intel Celeron
497MHz
96MB of RAM
5GB HDD (WinXP is taking up approx 3.25GB)
Has a CDROM that hardly works.

Now if only I can find a copy, I can FINALLY play American McGee's Alice!

A GPS system for my 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer and a keyless entry/ignition system that will be installed tomorrow.

question what's your Celeron's speed?

question what's your Celeron's speed?

420 @ 1.60GHz

Hmm I thought so, that's not bad but then again it's not great. You may wanna get someone to work on it for you. get it above 2.0 and you'll have a good PC.

I just got a 20p coffee from the vending machine at work. It wasn't very nice.

Organic peanut butter and jelly, wheat bread, and ham & cheese hot pockets. :3

I really do get fussy about cable management lol.
Well, I tried to with my gaming rig, but ended up not doing so. A lot of the cables are just too short to allow for cable management.

Agreed. RAM is pretty cheap nowadays. If you can cough up an extra US$50 or so for more RAM, that'll do.

Heh, I drank out of those exclusively between classes during my college years. I'm okay with them, but at one time I pushed the button for Milo (a chocolate malt drink) and got in return a cup full of hot water and dead ants :O . I threw the cup away, and although I didn't complain (only cost me 70 cents, which wan't too big a deal for me), I think someone else did because the machine was gone the next day xD .

Thanks for the advice, guys. I may have to upgrade.

it shouldn't be too much, a 1 gb of ram cost $35+ and a good Celeron can cost you between 35-85. Just check your Motherboard before you buy anything.

Cat treats and Uri-Ease.

Well, I tried to with my gaming rig, but ended up not doing so. A lot of the cables are just too short to allow for cable management.

Depends on how your gaming rig is performing. The reason for good cable management is mostly for airflow. As long as you have good airflow it doesn't overly matter too much.

I do it cause I'm an anal bastard who likes having everything neat and tidy... cept my room. If you've got adequate airflow then it's fine, if not though I'd suggest looking into a way to organise it. You can buy extension cables for whatever is coming up short.

I fixed up the cable management in my friends case (didn't hide the cables like mine, just shifted them neatly aside) and his case temperature dropped by 6 degrees celcius which is huuge.


I've now got my CPU at 2.8GHz, crashes at 2.9GHz without a volt mod and I don't really want to change volts yet. No need for the extra performance. Currently get 11000 in 3dMark06 which isn't bad for a single graphics card and a pretty much bottom of the line CPU.

Wow, didn't thin cables mattered that much.

Wow, didn't thin cables mattered that much.

Most definitely. For the majority of users who won't be pushing their PCs the difference is negligible but for those who are expecting to push their computers as hard as they'll go, 6 degrees celcius is a pretty big factor.
