Kain Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Proof again that every system in society is broken...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Well, I'm pretty sure this year, movies like Milk with Sean Penn and James Franco, amongst other great actors will win. Despite the fact that it didn't have much of a theatrical release. (at least here in Edmonton) So, I haven't really been able to see it yet. Or such movies like "The Wrestler" which seem to get rave reviews and what not. Not like I don't think they deserve it, but movies like The Dark Knight deserve some consideration at least since everybody has seen it and the popular consensus is that it was quite amazing and well done.

Ohh, I forgot about Milk... that's the perfect Academy Award movie they can latch onto besides The Dark Knight and Wall-E (and Benjamin Button). It has the elements of the things they usually pick. Not necessarily the political/gay thing alone (remember brokeback mountain didn't win), but that would probably be part of it. It's got that historical drama-ish look to it with that highbrow (for lack of a better word) kind of feel, plus the big name actors like you mentioned.

Boba Rhett Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 i saw a buncha deer in front of me so i just kept going like hell whatever happens happens right.: This was your first and biggest mistake.
Ray Jones Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 You are a mean guy fifteen, and driving while being drunk is not going to make that any better, only more stupid. A shame that this makes you proud enough to boast about this all over LF.
IG-64 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 *Waiting for it* *Looks at Bongo* *Waits for it...* Surprise!
BongoBob Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Damnit, I always miss my queues due to sleeping :|
Ray Jones Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 It's okay, Bob, at least, if your penis had intense contact to female genitals during that time.

Do you happen to drive one of these? otherwise i have the impression you didnt infact hit real deer, only styrofoam decoys.
Rogue15 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 no, chevy tracker 1998. lol i just went outside to see any damage, all that's there is a few deer hairs, nothing more. not even a dent. now, if it would've been my old buick lesabre '89...that deer wouldn't stand a chance against that. nothing did...until the alternator and transmission went.
Kain Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 BAH!! I smashed head-on into a concrete barricade in a '94 Grand Prix. Not even a scratch. Them old cars, theys can takes a beatin.
RoxStar Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 No damage because you hit a baby deer Monster.
BongoBob Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Well, my 360 just up and died on me with no warning signs whatsoever. Just playin CoD:WaW and started getting artifacts in the sky, turned my 360 off, and turned it back on to recieve 1 red light. And of course the f***in things out of warranty for the past 3 f***in months, so now it's either 94 bucks to get it repaired, or 216 for a brand new arcade unit with brand new hardware and brand new warranty. Of course all this happens when I no longer have a job -_-
Boba Rhett Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Dell was selling the Arcade bundles for $154 two days ago. They may still be doing that. Just a heads up. You could then also sell the controller and your old power cables to recoup money.

Of course all this happens when I no longer have a job -_- Dang, Bongo. That seriously sucks. If you aren't going to get it repaired, I'd take Rhett's approach and sell off as much as you possibly can, then just go for the cheapest deal. Craigslist, maybe?
BongoBob Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I'm gonna try to sell it on the Xbox-Scene forums where I've bought and sold before. Hoping to get like 40 for it, but I don't know, cause it's not as easy to fix as the 3 RRoD. Gonna try to sell it though. I do technically have a job, it's just complicated to explain. Hopefully I can have enough for a new one by next friday, but I'm not gettin my hopes up.
TiE23 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Wait, don't repaired 360's get their warranty renewed? Like, $94, wait two weeks, new 360 with a one year warranty... or ... wait... Option one: Sell broke 360 + $40ish Sell PSU (remember, there are different types, look it up before trying to sell) + $30-60 Buy new 360 Arcade - $200 Get a new 3 year warranty + All right! Sell Wireless controller + $40-50 Downtime: As fast as you can afford the Arcade $$$ : - $30-90 in the end ****** Option two: Send it in - $94 Get one year warranty + Eh... Downtime: Two to four weeks D: $$$ : - $94 Yeah, I can see your point.
MrWally Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Leave it to TiE to break down the monetary issues. :] *hides* But no, seriously. I agree with TiE's approach fully.
MrWally Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Double Post Thread Bump. So. I'm kind of an audiophile. I set up surround sound on the computer in my room two years ago and even since then It's been pretty important to me. I'm not super picky, but when I notice static or something just a little off it bugs me horribly until I finally fix it. Well. This morning I open iTunes to play some Jason Mraz, I start up "I'm Yours" and it sounds as if my ears are being raped. It really wasn't that bad, but there was a definite, harsh crackling coming from my right front speaker. I was upset because I thought my $150 speaker system would have to be replaced, but I wasn't going to give up quite yet. I unplugged and replugged all of the connectors, and made sure that my Sound Card was all of the way in. No luck. But then I decided to mess around with the wiring a bit, switching the front and back connectors, so the computer would be sending the front right channel to the back right speaker. After doing this I noticed that the back right speaker was crackling, while the front right seemed fine (from what I could tell). Essentially, I need to fix my problem, but I don't want to spent too much money, preferably none. I was looking at some X-Fi cards on newegg but they're all around $80+ for a decent one, and I was wondering if anyone had some advice? Is there anything I can do to fix my sound card? Could it be a driver issue? Or will I just have to give in and go with the new card? Any help would be appreciated.
Boba Rhett Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Before grabbing a new card, completely pull out the sound card, blow out the socket, wipe off the card pins and then re-seat it. Also, does your card have a digital output you can try using? I think you'd have to set it up under Playback Devices > Digital Output.
leXX Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 This morning I open iTunes to play some Jason Mraz, I start up "I'm Yours" <3 We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.
MrWally Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Clearly that means I should steal a new Sound Card after a night of partying.
