I'm at work, I has no say :(
The wife gave him hell though. She apologized to the supervisor, but he told her not to bother, the tech is a jerk.
I lol'd, but why do they keep him?

PC build specced out. All essential parts ordered.
POW, RIGHT IN THE WALLET.
:bounce:
I'm just glad I'm able to reuse the power supply and, for the time being, the case from my last build. I think I've actually managed to put a decent system together for cheap. Except for this ridiculous space heater graphics card that I'm having second thoughts about and cost almost as much as the other new parts combined... :dread:
I love impulse purchases. :wacko:
My biggest scare is I'm going to be starting from scratch. I don't have anything that goes into a desktop PC -- no keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, spare parts, nothing. So on one part it'll be nice because everything will be brand new. On another part, all told it's probably going to cost me close to $800 (rough estimate).
I finally got my hair cut today after putting it off for about two weeks.
MY HEAD FEELS SO LIGHT AND STRANGE NOW WITHOUT ALL OF THAT HAIR :ahhh:
Yeah, I used to start from scratch whenever I built a PC because my dad always wanted the old one. :lol Bright side is you'll be able to get some really nice peripherals that will last for future builds though. I actually don't have space for a standalone monitor so this new one is going to be hooked up to either an iMac screen or a TV and used as a media centre/gaming rig. Redheaded stepchild of the PC master race right here. :wacko:
Leave it to RadioShack to have nothing I need ever.
That solution to the monitor was the same idea that I had. I was going to buy a 21"-27" flatscreen and hook it up to that, then use it as a PC/retro console desk. The only problem there is that LCD TVs don't work with light guns, so if Dallas and I want to play Duck Hunt we won't be able to on that TV. Which actually is a bit of a bummer. ;_;
Thanks man, the sticker on the cartridge was particularly difficult to get off. It also left a lot of residue on the label. Which I was successful at removing, but it was a pain. Still for the price I think I did okay. ;)
Since I'm not going for PAL/KOREAN region games. Only US and Japanese releases(including duplicate releases). I have 29 games total left to get. Although I only have 9 more before I'll have a complete US release collection. It's getting there, although I'll probably be slowing down adding to until after the holidays. Except for maybe some of the really cheap titles.
Yeah, I'd say you did pretty good at that price. :top: Especially considering how amazing the end result looks.
And that's way too many Phantasy Star games. :lol Then again, at one point I wanted to build a complete US collection of Mega Man games. Which is probably somewhere close to 50 games. :wacko: So I guess it's not as crazy as it sounds.
They need a cupcake man!
Haha, actually there's 31 games I have left to get. :lol I only have 20 Phantasy Star games as of right now. Still, at least there's only a few more somewhat expensive($50+) titles left to purchase. The rest will be fairly inexpensive, probably less than $20 for most of them. Some of the Japanese PC versions might be hard to get a hold of CIB though. Seeing as I never seem to see them on eBay. :-P The real expensive part will be when I start trying to get all of the Japanese Art/World book, Manga, and Strategy Guides. :wacko:
I actually love all 10 original Mega Man games. Although 2,3, and 4 are my favorite in that order. The Megaman X games are also really good. Loved the first one, I remember how badass I felt getting the Hadouken finally. :D The rest of them with the exception of MMX7 were pretty solid titles. Also whichever one had the ninja armor(MMX5 or 6) where you could hang from the ceiling and rain down shuriken was awesome.
:ahh: I have been called that from time to time. :lol
Pretty good, still feasting on Thanksgiving leftovers. Trying to grind some souls in Demon's Souls and subsequently getting my ass kicked. :lol However that damn red-eyed knight with the spear is now my bitch. :wacko:
date rape.
OMG OMG I HAS INNERNUT!~
Can't think of anything else except for that scene in raiders of the lost ark. :wacko:
