    Black Friday 2014 Gaming Deals

    Target's BF deals from last year helped me get a great discount on the Wii U. I recorded my savings, just to remember and be happy. I would have done even better if I signed up for a Target CC at that time, but I didn't. Ended up getting one a little before Christmas, however. Sean was pushing...

    Black Friday 2014 Gaming Deals

    This is a direct copy and paste from another forum I post on, and it certainly isn't about only games, but I don't see any other Black Friday threads on the board.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've learned from working with him for 17 years now, that my father is a HUGE pig. And I'm not just talking about being a fat mess (he's that also). We've had customers complain to us after he goes to visit them because he does nothing but stares at the female employees chests. I mean...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The only "Meal" game I can find on Amazon is this, so I doubt it's what you're talking about. Amazon.com: Dino Meal: Toys Games Care to fill me in some more? I'd love a game to play with my wife.

    Homeland

    She gave him hope because she didn't want him to kill himself. He trusted her as she lead him along the maze until they finally grabbed him. The only thing I didn't understand is Saul was inside of the factory completely out of eyesight. The door he rushed through had a window in it. Why...

    Fantastic Four

    EDIT: Never mind. I just remembered that I never finished reading the 669 issue Ultimate thing I had started... I stopped at 525 (Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates) because I no longer had physical copies to read. I'll have to finish this series up soon enough.

    That's cool. Can't wait for my blu-ray to come in.

    Home Improvement

    Ok, we'll continue to use Sherwin Williams or PPG. The stuff is between 80 and 150 a gallon (if it's a custom color it's a lot more expensive), but at least it works well. Not as good as powder coating, but the next best thing. Plus, you can paint plastics.

    I wonder if Behr makes an epoxy enamel style. If so, I might give them a try in our paint shop.

    Fantastic Four

    There's a lot of that movie story that relates completely to Ultimate Fantastic Four. Except thing can never "shut it off", and Johnny isn't Black. Oh, and Sue is his biological sister. And Doom isn't xHaCkErXx. See how scary that typing looks? Imagine if it were doom? I can't even type it...

    Go sound bar and get some wireless speakers. While they're technically wireless, they still need to be plugged into an AC outlet, but if you have one in the rear of the room, that will give you the 3D effect to go well with the sound bar.

    Home Improvement

    I don't have any painted counters. Just a large window sill and this half wall. And shortly, we'll have a painted pantry type of thing. Does the Marquee stuff ever fully cure? IE - If you paint a window sill and let it dry for like a month, then put plate down and pick it up the next day...

    Home Improvement

    The pros are easy. A nice clean installation with hidden components. The cons are that sound is directional. It'll always sound like the TV show you are watching is above you. It's great for ambient music, but for TV shows and stuff, you really want ground level sound.

    What type of paint should you use for ledges/furniture? We've used Behr (Home Depot generic) for almost everything in our house. I have this half wall in my living room. The surface is painted with Behr semi-gloss white. It's been painted for almost 8 years, and things STILL stick to the...

    I meant because I'm planning on playing in 1st person. I won't visibly "see" them, because I'll be playing from inside of their perspective.

    Fall 2014 Anime Thread

    I had never read the FMA manga. Then I watched the original anime and loved it. Everything was great until the very end. Then I was a little confused. I gave Brotherhood a chance, and how quick they seemed to rush through some of the earlier plots threw me off, but I stuck through it...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    GTA 5, as a whole (not just the stock market part), is a masterpiece. They made a damn good game. My only complaint is in the physics with ground vehicles. I guess they couldn't have different plane and car physics, so as a result the cars tend to "fly" every time they hit a bump. It makes...

    Big Hero 6 (Marvel/Disney)

    After the first encounter with the kabuki bad guy, Hiro made betamax a new program card in addition to his wellness one. He put aggression and karate on it. That's about all. It's why he removed the wellness card mid fight later on and the robot went crazy killing machine mode.

    I'm in the same boat. Never played Smash before, but I asked my wife to get it for me as a Christmas present.

    Wii U

    My favorite (looking) map right now is the old west one from the new Link DLC. It's a great map. Aside from that, the Link world one is beautiful, and the little purple diamonds instead of coins are a nice touch.

    Well, I downloaded the DLC tonight. I paid for the 1&2 pack.

    IGN linked this deal to me, for anyone that cares. Sony PlayStation 4 Destiny Bundle | eBay It's the White PS4 (Destiny bundle) for $409.99, but if you throw in code "CPLAY10" during checkout, you get a quick $10 off. So $399.99 for the White PS4 Destiny bundle.

    Health Problems

    So, my health problems are still fun. I have Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and a blood disorder called Factor Five Leiden (the opposite of Hemophilia... I clot easily). I found out yesterday that no life insurance company will touch me with a 10 foot pole. That's really fucked up...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    I've made my life into a completely porn free lifestyle. It's kind of nice. My mind is a lot more active now. Yes, you might occasionally see things (I'm on the internet, after all), but I no longer search it out. It's been about a year now, and I really don't think I'm going to swap back.

    Big Hero 6 (Marvel/Disney)

    Wall-E was awesome, as was the first Cars. PIXAR does a great job of making you care about objects that are not people. Up was extremely sad in the beginning.. showing the guy meeting the love of his life and then her dieing like that. Wasn't expecting such a tragic opening. Didn't care...

    Unfortunately, there aren't any "cheap" theaters near us. There's 5ish movie theaters within a 30 minute drive, yet none of them even offer matinee prices. Everything is full price or go home. It really sucks.
