    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Pretty sure I have 2 or 3 copies. *edit* 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr Rookie Card BGS 9 5 Gem Mint | eBay I know these are "asking" prices, but that's better than I ever expected. I might go have a look at what I've got.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    My card collection (shoved away in a box somewhere) has most all Upper Deck cards from 89-91. If they are really not worth anything, I guess I might just toss them in the trash vs taking up space. Are they really that worthless? I never kept up with it since middle school, so no idea what the...

    Awesome kids toys that you play with

    Funny, my Transformers remained in good shape. They were absolutely my favorite toys growing up, so they remianed in the house for the most part. GI Joes, on the other hand, were almost played with exclusively outside and often with firecrackers. They were pretty wrecked.

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    I started up in July. I found quite a lot of groups along the way. Depends what you want to do, really. If getting to max level is your goal, just hit the golden path (FoB, Kurns, PC, HHK, HK, Planes) and there's always people around to group. If you are trying to hit random dungeons for...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    EQ Mac, but even that is getting old now with the blatant hacking and griefing raids. (Hi level 1 trainer in PoTime)

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    So, I have never played the game outside of Beta 2005/2006. What is the current state? I might give this a shot, as I have nothing better to do. What is a good high pop server? Should I pick a solo class (Necro?) or should I box a couple classes? Which classes are fun / which should I avoid...

    Yea, you missed my point. I wasnt saying either was preventable per-se... just that accidents do happen! So when you have the chance, always wear a helmet and gloves, etc. Shit happens when you least expect it.

    Well, if it helps... good high end audio gear generally will not depreciate as bad as (non-classic) vehicles will!

    Well with EQ history, FOH was probably the biggest following of Sigil and VG during development. What else would he have expected?

    Just so I dont seem like a holier than thou audio snob, I was actually in the same position Keotat. I remember a good 15 years ago or so I wanted a new Ht setup and I had some cheap Kenwood setup. I wanted to go more upscale, so without knowing any better, I check out Best Buy. I listened to...

    I'm sure we just put stuff like this off as one-off freak accidents. Last year, my best friend's brother was riding a bike home from a pub (had a couple drinks sure) in light rain. He wasnt really going all to quickly but yet the front tire slipped on a turn and he went off the road into a...

    Horrible horrible pain.

    I'm being optimistic that hes just been held longer for treatment (he mentioned pneumonia?) and his cell battery died. Who drags their charger to the hospital? *btw* Who's that? ^^ Any nudes? =D

    So computer diagnostic question....

    There's a large portion of circuit boards (like MB, video cards) that are actually covered in a laminate. Having crap spilled all over it, generally will not hurt it. It's running electricity through shorts created by the conductive fluid spilled that will kill stuff. Anytime you have a spill...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Picsasso came home drunk and peed in the fishtank murdering all of his fish. If he bought from petsmart, they would replace them all for free (albeit more costly).

    So much fucked up hype marketing out there too though. Most people believe audiophile grade equipment is their Bose or whatever shittastic setup they bought from Best Buy. It's always amusing seeing the big looks of astonishment when they hear my HT setup, then the look of utter disappointment...

I guess I knew better that horror movies were just made up stories, but I lived in Florida and god damn it, sharks are fucking real!!

    EQ Never

    Not only that, but as a Barbarian you started in Halas. To go out into the world for killable mobs, you had to cross that lake into the tunnel leading from Halas to Everfrost. At night, it was pitch black.. while nowhere near as difficult to navigate as the Surefall tunnel, it was still complete...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Good read there. It's a shame this game didnt work out. I really dont know what tech specs there were going for, but I had a cutting edge gaming system at the time and it NEVER ran well. I never gave it a realease chance though, as I was fairly heavy into EQ2 at that point. I actually was...

    Horror Movies

    Just saw Insidious last night for the first time. I think it was pretty damn good, but the last ~10 minutes ended a tad weak. I dont really get freaked by anything horror, but there was some tense moments throughout the film. The day before I watched Evil Dead (new one) and thought it was...

    I just went through my IPT invites. Seems that you are my best invite so far, killing it at 7+ ratio!! Thanks. lol I find it odd that Homsar (who invited me from FoH) was banned last month. He had been a member for years without issue.

    I honestly dont get it. That system is basically idling running 1080p monitors. If you spent all of that money on the rig, you might has well fucking upgrade to triple 30" monitors. It's like buying a car with a 1000hp engine and running all four wheels on donut spare tires. Nevermind the...

    The funniest stashes I had ever stumbled across was in a government Navy building 13 years ago or so. I was an enlisted scrub at the time and was tasked with a few others to re-paint the bathroom. Now, this building had been around for decades and the paint wasnt in too terrible shape. However...

    Pound Rebka was a test involving observations with the Viking 1. I was talking about: Optical Clocks and Relativity I think we are in agreement here though, but Time Dialation is achieved both ways. 1) Gravitational Time Dilation = in respect to distance to mass 2) Relative Velocity...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    There was a pretty cool "Into the Universe" episode where they went specifically into this. Time dilation as in: closer to mass, the more time is (relatively) slowed down to time measured further away. Scientists in Greenwich took two identical clocks extremely sync'd to who knows how many...

    I always farm my best ratio by hosting entire Season packs of older TV shows. Mythbusters and Top Gear (UK) are my bread and butter! I've probably uploaded a TB or more of that shit alone.
