Just Trials so far, but I have all the PS+ games downloaded already. I'll probably get Watchdogs just so I have something to play on it.

Get Infamous too! Or rent it from GameFly, at least. It's a very fun game that can show you what the system is capable of. Though there's no multiplayer and I don't know how many times you'd want to replay it after you beat it, if you even would at all, so you're probably better off renting it. That's what I did.

Trip report: Stroh still a bad idea

Still piecing my rig together. I rather like how everything except the video card has come out black and blue. Didn't intend that but it's nice.

in addition to the case(Thermaltake A31), power supply(Corsair CX500M), SSD(240GB PNY XLR8 Pro) and video card(PowerColor Radeon 7850) I previously got, I now have my motherboard, ram and optical drive.

MOBO is an Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 socketed for AM3+ at $107 w/rebate
Optical drive is a Lite-On DVD writer at $15 because I've had both Samsung and LG white goods die on me almost immediately after the warranty ended. Not doing Korean electronics if I don't have to.
Ram is a pack of ADATA XPG 2x4GB DDR3 1600 at $55 w/rebate

So far the rebates are:
Corsair: Arrived first and was a nifty visa credit card with the Corsair logo on it.
PNY: Arrived second and was a check.
PowerColor: Processing
Thermaltake: Processing
Asus: Rebate documents in the mail
ADATA: Rebate documents In the mail

Got the build more or less done and all I have missing is the CPU and which version of Windows to buy. Next paycheck I suppose. Jeb is there for moral support and as a reminder for what game needs to be purchased first.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
So do you have a phone or tablet that you get a lot of glare on? Does it collect fingerprints to the point of absurdity? Do your fingers keep slipping when you try to do a longpress because you're a clumsy idiot?



I love the hell out of these matte finish Tech Armor protectors because they cut glare, have a nice texture to prevent slipping, and are amazingly good at resisting fingerprints. I bought one for my Nexus 4 last year and I just got one for my Nexus 7 as well and I just can't do without them now. They also come with really good installation instructions, dust-removing sticky tape, and (most importantly) a set of three so you can gently caress up the first one or two because you're a clumsy idiot like me.

They don't look as nice as the clear ones (which is what my wife uses on her devices) but I think they're fantastic. They make a ballistic glass version too which I've never used but it's probably good too. They also make them for drat near every device you can think of.

If you weren't aware they also offer a lifetime warranty and will ship you a new set of three for pretty much any reason.

I need to do my laces like this, standard criss-cross just doesn't do it for me any more.

Smart colourway, too.


My last purchase was a pack of Tesco's Finest Salted Caramel and Chocolate cookies. But I don't think I need a photo, because biscuits.

A bought a condo about a month ago, for a home that's a recent purchase. It was priced to sell quick so I got a really good deal/interest rate. My monthly payment (inc principal, escrow, interest, hoa) will be cut in half once we complete the move. It's about half the size of my current house but less than a third of the price.

I think utilities will be much cheaper too but I'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, I always lace straight-bar if I'm gonna convert them to slides. Though I thought about picking something crazy from here: http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lacingmethods.htm

I go with what that site calls straight European lacing. It tightens more easily, and it doesn't corrugate the vamp like standard straight lacing seems to.

and this app:

so I can keep an eye on my car without having to go to autozone.

It also has the benefit of being able to add additional gauges and whatsits using my tablet/phone. Kinda neat.

The kryptonite chains are pretty drat good too, I had one on my motorcycle when it got stolen (chain went through the wheel and frame, sadly not anything else and the bike was put in a van). According to the police it really stumped the thieves for a few hours (they were a bunch of armed robbers who, unfortunately for them, were under surveillance at the time). They eventually got it off though.

My buddy had an R6 for a while and loved it. He eventually sold it and got an R1 and totaled it within 24 hours of buying it. Whoops. Great bikes but I'll never get one.

Picked up the Lotusgrill last night at a local shop in Nuremberg. We saw this over the weekend and did some research. We needed a new, portable grill and I was thoroughly impressed with the small amount of charcoal that is needed to cook for over an hour. The design is perfect and the color was great for the retro look we are going for on our balcony. It also helps that this grill doesn't warm up on the exterior which makes it perfect for patio grilling.




Also this Edwin Buddy denim jacket for occasional wear:

We also have this grill, it's pretty drat nice honestly. Just have to think about having spare batteries around :eng101:
