Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Commander, how much did the DVDs cost you all together, I need to go pick them up I few cents under $80 individually. Though, I do suggest you purchase them on Best Buy this week since they are about quite cheap. And I comes with a tin. Otherwise, it will cost you a bit more if you go to the stores. Though, I hear Best Buy has a good deal on them this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can RH please explain?[/quote'] Here is a couple links with some info about the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, Ming the Merciless is the Villan in that movie and the whole of the the Flash Gordon series.

Physically and Socially! They were supposed to build a new, larger, and nicer, Wal-Mart here but the people turned it down because of the neighbors N.I.M.B.Y. fears...

NIMBY... *goes to Wikipedia* oh I get it now... lol, Wal-Mart is pretty rediculous, where I am in AZ, there are two within 5-10 minutes of where I live, and they are going to add another one about 20 minutes away, well 10 minutes if I drive... ridiculous, back on-topic, my roommate also bought this from Wal-Mart, so I might steal it and give it a try: I dunno should I?

Astrotoy7 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 What exactly is a mo-fo? Can RH please explain? LMAO Ming The Merciless is a character from a very old space adventure show called Flash Gordon. Star Wars itself owes alot of its inpiration to Flash Gordon. Before George Lucas actually ended up with "The Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" he called the project "my Flash Gordon movie" for quite a few years He stole the opening scroll idea from FG mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Damn. I just just return them and re-buy them at Toys R US. But, then again I may just wait to see what is happening with the 30th anniversary set, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search Engine anyone? -RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I dunno should I? It can't compare with a good RPG, but it's worth a play. I didn't like the maps as much as the ones in the first game, but everything else is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 I havent got one of these yet, as they havent been released(due very soon), but am drooling to get one. The Asus r2h mini tablet pc.... sporting full xp(tablet edition), wifi, satnav, digital tv tuner, 1.3mp cam/webcam, can also make sandwiches It also has the very sci-fi fingerprint recognition security feature. it would be ideal for uni, and as a long time pda and (intermittment)tablet pc user i love the stylus handwriting interface of xp tablet/windows mobile At under 800g. it is half the weight of my blasted laptop. mmmm.....tablets rest assured, I will be back to show mine off when I do get it mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONLY a graphics designer would rate the quadro fx card as worth the pcb its printed on hehehe I've met CGI artists who rabbit on about them with nothing but reverence. Of course, they are of no use to a gamer or anyone else ! *GeForce FX "GO" (mobile) come with utterly rubbish driver support. Some GPUs nevere even get updated !!!! The ATI card you listed is the only one I would use if you gave it to me for free I'll stick to my 7950 GX2... I may go quad sli eventually but really there are no games that will push the gx2 at the rez I play at(1360x768 - due to my larger monitor size ) but enough gfx talk.... back to the "cool stuff" !! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
