edlib Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Nice color. I always wanted a "blue-burst" guitar. I saw a Steve Morse model with that finish once, and I've wanted one ever since. Good find. Slap some Seymour Duncans in there, and you should have a killer instrument. In other news, my PC booted up normally this morning, and the C: drive is reporting no faults. Strange. Sunspots... or something. I'll keep my data backed up just to be safe, though.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Got the Empire At War a few days ago. Modded the game to be more in line with what i see in the movies, I.E: bringing 10 Star Destroyers down upon the enemy. And there is nothing greater.

Nitro Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I always wanted a "blue-burst" guitar. Same here. Don't see many of 'em. As for the pickups, I'd been looking at Duncans earlier in the week when I was thinking of replacing the ones in my current axe (a POS Ibanez GRX 20), so the second I saw the Les Paul, my first thought was an SH-1 in the neck, and an SH-4 in the bridge. My second thought was that sooner or later I'm gonna need to buy something with single-coils. I've thought about popping a P-90 into the neck of the GRX 20 to give me something different for now.

Rogue15 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i played kotor 2 from 10am-6pm yesterday...then from 10pm-12:30am... gotta love this cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 In a rare burst of commercialism, I made two moderatly large purchases in one week when I picked up the Saitek X52 HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) rig... First thing I did was re-install XWA, hop in my trusty B-Wing, and singlehandedly hose a whole squadron of TIE Interceptors. I don't know how I lived without a HOTAS setup for so long, but damn... All I need now is a set of rudder pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 New guitar. New joystick. Wow! Problem is: Finding enough time to enjoy both new purchases equally. (Or at all... if now you find yourself working overtime to pay off the credit-card bill.) At least that's the problem I often have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildstar Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Looks like a nice pick-up, Nitro. I hope your new rig serves you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or at all... if now you find yourself working overtime to pay off the credit-card bill.) At least that's the problem I often have. Yeah, same problem here... But the guitar got here today, so that feeling's been temporarily assuaged. I won't be able to afford those new pickups anytime soon, but the stock pickups actually aren't *that* bad... Granted, I'm probably just used to the factory pups in my GRX 20, and compared to it, this sucker sounds like hot sex on a cold February morning..

Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hey, a question to all of you who have/or will buy such embelishments for your signifigant other(s)*. How much does yoru average engagement ring cost? Say if i wanted an opal as a center stone, flanked by a ruby and a diamond on either side, with say..... silver. How much might something like that cost? *For those of you that may be Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, or any other religion that may promote having many wives.

edlib Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Can't help you there, chief. (And part of me hopes to never have to find out, either...) Isn't the tradition for that "(X)-weeks worth of salary" though? You buy the ring you can afford by saving up a couple of weeks salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 no clue. prolly over $2000. i got home at around 6:30-7ish and put in KotOR II til 2 am. Woke up this morning at around 8:30ish... Yesterday my manager wanted to know during the summer if i would be willing to close at 1 am instead of 11pm, since the camp counselors usually start showing up at 10pm and they have til whenever to shop, so it's basically to get camera sales up. But it's also cool because the hours would be like 3pm-1am or 4pm-1am, not too bad. She said she was going to hire someone else to close with me then since nobody else cares for those hours. I was like 'ok' hopefully i don't get screwed over after the campers go home though....but i have plans if that happens. well, it all depends. Still haven't gone for inspection...today's the last day then i'm driving illegally. who cares, if i get pulled over i'll just say i just payed all my ****ing bills and since walmart pays biweekly i can't afford it til next paycheck, which is the ****ing 9th. -_- funny thing is, my registration is due next month. i HATE penndot laws. at least in florida there was no such thing as a stupid inspection. -_- hell, half the people up here drive without a license AND under the influence anyway. /rant......

edlib Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 I never get my inspection on time. I always seem to put it off until a week or so into the next month. It usually takes me that long to even notice. I bought my car in May, and now my next inspection is due in December. So that actually means January for me, most likely. By the time the car is 12 years old I'll be back to May again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 heh. i dont really see the point in inspection. i wish penndot would take the money and make the roads SAFER. unlike that ****ing intersection that has me paranoid that my car will fail inspection.

Rogue15 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 i went to get the mail this morning...got home and went to open one that was advertising a bunch of cds for the price of 1 (not including shipping i guess) anyway, i got a critical papercut on my right index finger...i yelled and ripped the package in half. almost fainted with all the blood gushing out, i probably would have had i not drank like 5 glasses of water. i poured peroxide in it and that helped. sucks because i just got a papercut in my left thumb right next to thumbnail while qc'ing a camera i was selling yesterday. that hurt too, this one was like taking a razor blade and skinning myself tho. fortunately it healed fast and no skin was removed from finger. i'm conducting an experiment seeing if i can drink 16 eight ounce glasses of water a day. so far this morning i managed it-from the tap. tap water>bottled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Evidentally I tricked some girl into liking me? Or something. I'm watching curling, girls are chasing me, I'm listening to the rap music, the whole damn system is falling apart over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute's post troubles me... surely, these are some of the warning signs of the impending Apocalypse? I'm pretty sure Revelations said something about watching Curling and enjoying it...
