"...and some of those pretzels."

The bartender looks at him at asks, "What's with the big paws?"   

I like reading Bill Harris' Dubious Quality (http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com), so I'm not bashing him too much.  But for the last couple of months', Bill has been obsessed with nitpicking everything Sony is doing wrong with their launch of the PS3 vs. the Wii.  Enough, Bill!  We get it!  You hate Sony!

He very well may be right that Sony will end up the loser in this round of the Console Wars, but the amount of nitpicking against Sony is getting absurd to the point that I don't want to read the blog anymore.  It's too bad, because it's been a great website up until lately.  I just wonder if someone at Sony stole his lunch money or something.

Or is it just me who feels this way?

Just out of curiosity...did you bother to voice your displeasure to Bill directly?

And I can buy a new PS2 for $129...   :icon_confused:

Sweet!  I was wondering when this was coming out.   

This thread proudly exclaims "more Winona."  I keep checking back in this thread and, while I enjoyed the initial picture, I find myself wanting more.  Please fulfil your promises or the internets will burn.

BURN!

Heh.   

I eagerly await responses also...I'm getting ready to restart after a significant hiatus.

Well, how about that?  It showed up today.

I've got to say that it's refreshing to see EA do the right thing for a change.  Thanks, EA.

This concerns me as well. I was interested in grabbing a copy, but if after 3 months, and there's still buggy copies on shelves, that's a problem.

Let me know if you get yours replaced, I may need to jump on this.

Well, I ended up mailing it out on the 7th, and I'm still waiting.  Hopefully it'll arrive in the next couple of days.

I found 4 copies of MVP baseball 2005 (PC) a few days ago, priced at $11.50 each (on clearance) for a total of $46.  I just sold the last one on Ebay.

I made a total of $177 on them, for $131 profit. 

Suckas.

That's what I get for not coming here more often.   :icon_confused:

I hope it's not too late to get mine replaced.  It's going into the mail this morning, regardless.

...it also has one episode, "The Girl in the Fireplace," that I'd rank in the show's top five stories.

Sophia Myles. 

Yum.   

Horrible ping.  Of course, I'm in the middle of nowhere. 

Sold locally for the original asking price of $300.

Price drop.

I picked up a PSP back in June after my computer got shipped prior to our return to the US.

Now that I have my rig back, I'm really not finding the time or inclination to play the handheld. 

It came as the PSP Value Pack ($249), meaning that it has earphones (with "remote"), a carrying case and strap, and a 32mb card.  I have since added a 1gb SanDisk ($50) memory card and a screen protector ($8). 

The included games are:

Virtua Tennis ($20)
MLB 06: The Show ($30)
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror ($40)
NCAA '07 ($40)

I'd like to recoup $250 OBO out of the roughly $440 I put into it.  I hope that's not too unreasonable...the screen is immaculate, and the PSP has no dead pixels.  I also have a small carrying case for the 4 games that is basically the same size as the PSP itself.

Please PM me if interested.  Paypal only, please...I'll cover insured postage with a USPS tracking mechanism (certified or registered...I forget which is which *g*).


Thanks in advance!

The next contest should be a test to see who can use email.  

Jerk.    

It was there.

I'm a moron, but I'm a moron on his way to the Wizard's Tower.  

*smacks head*

D'OH!

It never occurred to me to check email.  I've been waiting for a PM.   :oops:

I sure am looking forward to trying out that new-fangled Wizard's Tower (hint, hint *g*)  ...

/cheer    

Agreed.     :lol:

I could clearly see the one on the dusty hood with the hand and boob prints. Im just not making anything out on that one no matter how much I stare at it.

There's really nothing to make out.  It looks like they drew that picture out of the dust on the side of the van.

I'll be purchasing these and Mike will announce and distro these this weekend - you have my word it'll be on the site by Monday.

Thanks.  

Will we ever know the winners?  

That's it, you're DEFINITELY not winning one...<checks list>

 :twisted:


just kidding  :wink:

DOH!   :shock:


 

Will we ever know the winners?  

*sigh*

No 24 goodies yet...but I'll keep looking.

And they arrived today!  Thanks GT!!!  

*sigh*

No 24 goodies yet...but I'll keep looking.

July 1995.  Luke AFB, Arizona.

I went up in an F-16D for an hour flight north of Phoenix (Flagstaff/Sedona area) while I was a reservist.  

I will NEVER be intimidated by a rollercoaster again..mere child's play now.  

Post.   :shock:

Nicely done!  Congratulations!  

I will have mine soon...I've got about 8 classes left through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for a BA in Professional Aeronautics.  

I should've done this a LONG time ago (I'm 41).  *sigh*

Congratulations!!!  

Congratulations to Soulchilde and ChaoZ on some tough competition there, and thanks to the fools at Starforce for their "inspiration"!   :twisted:

Now my wife has no reason NOT to let me pick up a PS2 for our son:  "But honey, I've got a game for it!"   :lol:

Jack Bauer is Ubisoft's replacement for Starforce.  Let's see you pirate games now.   :evil:

Oh man, what was the funny thing about this guy from back on GG?  Didn't it have to do with a lobster buffet or something?

Is this it?

*yawn*

SSDD, Drazzil.   :roll:

You know what sucks?

I won't see it until at least a week from Monday because I live in England.  It'll take at least that long for it to arrive in the mail.  Do you have any inkling how hard it'll be listening to you all rave about the game???  *sigh*   :cry:

Currently at RAF Lakenheath, UK (about 75 miles NNE of London), but will be in Alamogordo, New Mexico (Holloman AFB) starting in July...

I wonder what took so long for this parody.  

Nice.

You can look at it this way - you have to do 30 in 60 seconds or somesuch right?  Once you are past basic, you never have to do them again.  Can you tough it out or does it hurt that badly?

Actually, he will.  The new AF Fitness Program requires a pushup, situp, and 1.5 mile run as an annual requirement.  Failure to achieve a passing score will land the individual in remedial fitness training programs.  Subsequent retests will follow, and 4 consecutive failures will result in dismissal from the USAF.
