Washington Redskins Sold Brokers Tickets Despite... →
You just KNOW this goes on in Toronto all the damn time. My dad has Leafs season tickets. We had amazing seats in the Gardens. We got screwed over in the move to the ACC. How do you go from front row grey at the visitor’s blue line to 7 rows from the back purple deep in the corner? Hell if I know. I’m sick of the whole thing.
ThinkGeek :: Sun and Moon Jars →
I really want one of the Moon and the Sun. So cool. Better than the LED light I have now!
yay, gh5 arrived.
whee
now i need to buy an xbox
always good
good time to buy
are the 250GB models out yet?
not yet
i want one of those
ok then not a good time to buy
what's the scoop on when those are out?
i bet those go on sale in like october
no rumors that i have heard
hmm
well
i can wait
i am just guessing about a month to clear out the pros
yeah
a few friends have spares they'll let me use til i get one
spares!
who even does that
it's for fucking gaming
we have a spare
do all 360 owners have spares?
... I have a spare. It's my elite that sporadically works.
hmm
well more like one that was about to break so we got a replacement
i know the failure rate is/was high, but damn.. no wonder ms is 'winning'.. everyone is buying a spare.
So I only just realised why Guitar Hero is so dominant here... because there's apparently only one version of Rock Band in Australia.
Harmonix must hate money or something
I swear. If I ever move out there I'm keeping all my region consoles. I'll import.
yahtzee always complains about game prices in australia
I heard games were significantly more expensive when compared to the USD/CAD.
That's because they suck...
Yahtzee? COMPLAIN? No !
That's true
lol
ie: batman is about $120..
yikes
the biggest annoyance for buying games here is when dev's figured they could price fix for the country over steam.
Which is why when I first bought Fallout 3 is cost me $140.
I got a refund pretty fucking quick
WTF
Would it maybe be cheaper to get one of our systems and import? Or do your customs fees suck as much as they do in Canada?
jesus
not sure on customs fees.
However I am very careful what I buy over steam now.. I'm trying to avoid any store that price fixes based on country.
it costs money to ship the internets you
Yes, they must air mail ones and zeros.
hehe
n: yeah game pricing there is fucked... hence, my buying games as 'gifts' for Z on impulse/steam
Yeah exactly, and that will happen more and more.
I remember paypalling UC cash to go get WoW for me when it first came out.
yup
seems to work out
you guys are ruining gaming.
gifts?
that's just wrong.
what
Australia needs the tax money.
Now I know what happened to the other nine Eduardos.

Enable or Disable Aero Border Frame in Windows... →
The ONLY way to use MSN on Vista. I don’t know how people stand it otherwise. I used to use Trillian but I tired of its quirks ages ago (I hear it is better now). Fellow geeks are encouraging me to switch back to Pidgin (formerly known as GAIM. Which was the last time I used it) but I have a serious issue with the ugly on my new machine. No GAIM for now.
Install Flash Plugin Manually in Firefox on Vista... →
It’s a pity I had to do this. On my new 64-bit Vista machine I tried to install Flash the usual way, several times, to no avail. This method worked, well, in a flash. I have no idea what caused the failure but I know it wasn’t UAC issues.
IKEA says goodbye to Futura: idsgn (a design blog) →
I love font fights. I can’t explain it. I care about typography, of course, but it’s more fun to watch people far more into it have a slap fight across the internet. Go ahead, ask a designer about comic sans. It’ll be fun!

Billy Bishop! →
I see Billy Bishop next week at Soulpepper. Can’t wait!! The current run of Billy Bishop Goes to War is 100% sold out. The hit show will return in 2010. I am soooooooooo glad I know someone who knows someone so that we got seats :)

I am not surprised.

It’s scary just how much of this I agree with. The more I think about the more disappointed I am that my parents spent so much money on the Macbeth tickets in Stratford for my birthday.

Wow. Netflix instant viewing has some movies so bad I wouldn't even suggest for the Bad Movie Night.
Suggest Birth!

I think that poster would make people weep because of the lost potential for a real Atomic Robo movie.

(filmed in Rimbo's basement)
haha
lol
by using SCIENCE
are you shitting me? Script aside, *I* can produce a better looking movie than this!
Here's the comedy, Jenn. You could go and produce that better movie, get it on Netflix Watch Instantly like this movie, and then not be able to watch it.
&%*$!
And the actual video is actually youtube level quality, which makes it even better.
stupid Netflix.
Diablo 3 Preview from 1UP →
I haven’t read it yet but I am extremely hopeful that Diablo III will be as good as, if not better than, Diablo II.
The Expurgation of Maniac Mansion →
I love it every time I read this. Yet another series I know far too much about.
reading ftl
I need to read much more carefully. @CBCArts posted “Animal Art Explored in Ottawa Exhibit” and I read that as “Animal Art Exploded in Ottawa Exhibit”. I became less interested in the link when I realized my mistake.
Self-Reliance →
It’s a great read.
a surprising confession
Jenn, just started Season 2 of Slings & Arrows. Hilarious.
^__^
I'm really glad you like the show! I guess I feel personally invested since I begged you to watch it :)
haha
Good recommendation. You are now in my wife's good books.
hahaha. Was I in the bad books before?!?
Which probably means she'll try to set you up with her brother.
haha
depends, is he smart? ;)
Yes
And a family lawyer
those are two good things.
Probably not your type, though
You need a man of action. Like Wendell Clark. Or Albert Schultz.
The very fine Mr. Schultz is married to the possibly more awesome Susan Coyne. Honestly I think I might have proposed to either one.
haha
This season at Stratford: ThreeSome with Schultz, Coyne and Cutter. A romantic comedy that no one expects!
lmao
I wonder if anyone has used that as a title before.
FOR A PLAY, I mean.

If “All games supported” is true then this could change console shooters and bring in more PC gamers.

People keep telling me this is a better and cooler version of Animal Crossing. Having never gotten into AC I’m debating whether this is a recommendation or a warning.

I have to confess that I found this pretty darn funny and, sadly, pretty accurate ;)
I should have seen this coming..............
Hey B
sup jenn
I did work out a place to stay for tonight and tomorrow. So around 6-7pm I head for windsor, tomorrow I yell at the school, friday I hang out in the morning and buy Shane breakfast at the Bake Shoppe (the one place in Windsor I truly miss. MMMMM, STRAWBERRY BUTTER) and then I head to Sarnia for the concert.
what concert is this now?
Cynthia Dale. Yes, again, shut up :)
lol
^__^
you've been to more Cynthia Dale concerts than Cynthia Dale
hahahaha
hahaha
hahaha
that is the greatest line of the year.

Heroes of Newerth
I really suck at this game, especially when compared to all the people with eons of Defense of the Ancients experience. Thus, people have been kind enough to send me some links to guides to help me improve. Or, at the very least, suck less.

Ultracade: the copyright disaster →
How on earth did David Foley think he could get away with this forever? Selling other people’s games without so much as a request for permission is a definite no-no. Tsk tsk is one thing but now we’ll see how the law handles this case. It’s a pity this wasn’t legit since it’s a very cool idea… at least it was before we had nifty things like the Wii Virtual...

Holy crap, I never thought he’d get that much. I still don’t know how I feel about the whole thing. I loved that Toronto became a legitimate theatre town but, obviously, not how it turns out he made it happen. Boo.
Also: Peter Mansbridge? Still awesome :)

to blog or not to blog
I’m having an interesting crisis as it relates to my blog and OA and video feeds and all that nonsense. I think the main issue stems from the fact that I am tired of wordpress/k2 and haven’t found anything worth switching to. OA needs a theme that’s far less a pain in the ass to update and tweak and I’ve found a few that I’m even willing to pay for.

I love this place. I’ll do a write up on how to navigate and sign up for it later so you can properly download from it. I get most of my wallpaper images from here. Amazing artists all over the place. I could click around here for hours!
