    (The package was not filled with anthrax. Thank you so SO much, Corruptbiggins! The condition is great!)

    That's good, and it's a very nice picture you've done there.

    Enjoy!

    The summers are perfect though. It's just the winter... and the fall... and the spring(unless you live in vancouver, but that's not really typical canada as it's right on the boarder and shares topography with seattle, like toronto and detroit).. lol Yeah, it's kind of crappy the rest of the year and I think about moving every February, but then the summer comes and it's just beautiful out.

    But see... I live in California. Which basically translates to beautiful weather all year round.

    TTG and Atari should collaborate and make a game combining The Walking Dead and RollerCoaster Tycoon

    It's my street, a Sierra dialog, and me making a stupid face with foam shopped in. :P It took me two or three minutes to make.

    The PS4 has no backwards compatibility.

    Well that's annoying! Still I can't imagine how cool Mortal Kombat will look on PS4 graphics.

    I keep hearing about the PS4 and it just reminds me of how little I cared about the PS3.

    Apologies to Sony, but I'm not buying what you're selling. Because I don't care.

    I'll only buy a PS4 if they make Walking Dead Tycoon for it. Otherwise, fuck no.

    I bought a PS3 because:
    1)I didn't have a Bluray player;
    2) 360's have problems with hardware failure;
    3) PSN is free.

    Errr... where were you before?
  • edited February 2013
    The place where I was at before, though in Portland, was pretty dumpy out of necessity and my roommates were really creepy and constantly fought loudly. I found a place in inner (real) Portland in the most desired neighborhood and near public transit that the boyfriend and I can afford. Really beautiful area and cute, yet not tiny, apartment. I'm really excited.

    Would it be awkward if due to a sci-fi thingy you ended up with a offspring who is older then you and was created that way so you never got to raise them and they have adult knowledge programed into there brains.

    Go!! Fast. We all deserve a bit of peace and quiet.

    There's no compatibility of the hardware, it is said - downloaded PS3 games could still work.

    It IS still one of the best BR players on the market - probably due to additional processing power not really needed for "pure" BR players. For the same reason, I am at least considering a PS4 at the moment, as it will again play BRs. Also, it looks as if the price tag is hardly any different from an actually decent BR player.

    Yeah... that indeed is bad. Then again, it's not even clear if Sony will let their PSN customers play their old games on the new console even though it IS technically possible. That is something that's still to be decided. Weird crap. Good thing I skipped the PS3...

    Don't forget to take pictures. And also to make the apartment bunny safe.

    That's more plausible a future than you'd think.

    Well, I started dating someone at work (who I wasn't friends with prior) and everything is going really well. My only concern, I guess, is that things are going so well to the point that things seem to be moving kinda fast, but it feels right.

    Mid-January: Concerned things are moving too fast.

    Mid-February: Signing a lease together.

    Yep, that's fast! Good luck, though!

    Welp I decided that the only reason why I was worried was that others would think it's too fast. Heh. If things felt the least bit off, I wouldn't be doing it, but I'm pretty excited.

    Most spirits generally pass on to the afterlife within a hundred years of their passing, sooner if they are ready. Only the very traumatized spirit may linger, but most likely only up to five hundred years after their passing.

    why bother with a PS4 when you can just build an equivalent PC for a similar price

    Because you cannot compare a PC ad a console by simply looking at the specs.
    Have you ever seen the "crap hardware" that is in a 360 or PS3 and wondered why games that run on those consoles simply do not run on a PC with the same specs?

    My heat keeps breaking down. I've been filling bottles with hot water and refilling them every 3-4 hours just to keep from freezing. I have to sleep with my head under the covers and get up to refill the bottles several times a night.

    The landlord says he thinks it's fixed for good now, but... I'm not sure I believe him.

    I see you talked about Kinder Surprise. When I was a kid, the only two types of Kinder I knew originally were Surprise and the tiny sticks. Then I gradually discovered all the others, until I was something like 11, the last ones I discovered being the tiny eggs.
    Quite honestly, Kinder Surprise were never my favourite. Very little chocolate and most of the toys suck. Every so often you get one you need to build instead of a pre-made one, which is cool, but mostly, the packaging around the toy was more fun than the toy. There was a way to make it pop open (when it was empty) so that one half would just bolt over the room.
    It was a lot of fun, but kids would sometimes get it thrown into their mouths and they would choke, so now they put a hole in it. As a result, it doesn't work as a projectile anymore, and the main attraction is gone.

    I was really shocked when I learned they were banned in the US. At first I thought the brand just wasn't sold in the US (which happens sometimes with European brands) but then I realised it was specifically Surprise. Only reading this thread did I realise they were worried about choking.
    If that's the case they should lift the ban since now the things have holes in them, so you can breath even if one is stuck in your throat.

    It's weird that they don't allow the sale of Kinder Surprise in the United States because of a ban on non-edible items being in confections, but they allow the sale of King Cakes that have little plastic babies hidden inside of them.

    well that article was more a vague comparison than an actually saying it was the same, but you could build a PC that could do what the PS4 does for a similar price and save money on games and have a larger selection of games.

    also you can compare the specs if you go into detail about the specs not just the superficial labels like "8 gig of ram" there is more to it than that if you look into it, and obviously on a fixed machine you can optimise better so you could get better performance from comparable hardware from a console, but i really hate the myth that you have to spend thousands to be able to play games on a PC, you can spend thousands if you want, but for most games (especially because of console bias developement) you can play them on full settings with an affordable PC
