The Hang-Out: SnesObama Foogee Camp

I've run into random Gamestops that have had an array of PC games, nothing was less than $20 no matter when it was released . Did you try the stock locator on the Gamestop website, it's pretty useful for finding locations that have something in.

The website says my local store has a copy

Did you ask for it specifically the last time you went? They hide games behind the counter sometimes.

Yeah, I've asked a few times, actually. I've even tried to rent it from the video place, but they don't even stock it. I've hit every store in the area that sells and/or rents games. Nothing.

There was a deal online a few weeks back...could have got it for $15, but by the time I got off work, they were sold out. Can't remember where it was, but getting deals pushed to my phone is useless when I'm at work

I'm off to bed

[Slacker Magician]

Goodnight.

[Slacker Magician]

I'm going to head off as well.

I haven't posted all day so now I am just to feel complete.

My Gamestop has like 12 PC games

I've been looking for Catherine for the 360. At this point I'm considering buying it new, but I can't find that either.

You're in the wrong country.
There's heaps of copies of it sitting around in shops here......it's like nobody wants it

Import Dan and keep him as a manservant.
He can buy stuff like games for you while you're at work.

So a co-worker of my dad's asked me to look at a netbook (HP Mini 210) of his that was having problems. It was connecting to the internet just fine, but none of the browsers would start when ran. I scanned for malware, updated Win7, updated some drivers, nothing fixed the problem. Finally last week he said he was fed up with screwing with it and said I could keep it.

Fast-forward about a week later. I find a program that will allow me to convert Windows installation disc images to a bootable USB flash drive. I try for hours to get it to work correctly. I get consistent BSODs with XP, and with Win7 Ultimate i get some missing files error. Finally I say fuck it and run a repair through the Win7 install setup from the USB. It finds the original installation of Win7 Starter, repairs it, and now all of the browsers work perfectly fine. 0_o

Tenacity pays off with a nice free working netbook.

Many recent HP notebooks/netbooks have issues installing 7 via any method afaik.
I got my niece a HP ultraportable (not a netbook.....it's a Pavillion dm1-4108au, AMD version) recently, it had 64bit 7 Home Premium on it.
I removed the single 2GB stick of ram and installed two 4GB sticks
Then I installed Ultimate on it instead, using the HP product key that came with it.

Dunno about XP, but I haven't had problems installing it on a few HP's that are like 4-6 years old


Good score for you though dude......can't go wrong with freebies

[deadlegion]

Overdrive.
Eh?


Does that go away if your activity drops, or am I marked for life now?

Guys... I think my not-girlfriend went on a date tonight!

Pseudo-Edit: WITH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!

Yeah, currently looking online at some of the upgrades you can do to the HP Mini 210-1010NR. You can upgrade it with a Broadcom Hardware Decoder, for HD video. The LCD screen can be upgraded to the HP Mini HD's WXGA (1366X768) screen. Last, you can upgrade the wireless G adapter to an Intel 5100 Wireless-N card. First off though, I'm going to spend less than $30 to upgrade the RAM from 1GB to 2GB.

Might have to pimp this little bastard out.

Soundwave tomorrow.

Time for my yearly dose of boozing and socially-acceptable brawling.
