I have both BF3 and MW3 so I can play with my friends. If I'm not playing with friends, I prefer Homefront.

I was left undecided by the clips Amazon provides, so I delayed purchasing the bluray version and got the MP3 download ($6.99) for the time being. I like  it a lot. I think it's much better than The Incident, which I felt was disappointing.

Quote: It's a pretty good game, not up to the original, but better than IW or Snowblind. I found the environments to be not as open as I'd like, and the enemy AI needs some work. I've only just completed my 1st boss battle and am moving into the next area.  

I'm a bit of a penny pincher myself. It's because of that is why I can afford stuff I want.

I've never had a problem with stock coolers as long as thermal paste is properly applied, but yes, even an inexpensive aftermarket cooler will bring down core temps. I prefer aluminum cases for their light weight. The Corsair TX750 is a helluva nice PSU and if you shop around you should be...

I dumped the last GF I had because of her obsession with my toys.

The History Channel's Modern Marvels did a show on hot and spicy foods.   http://hotsaucedaily.com/2010/02/18/hot-and-spicy-on-history-channel/    They explained in detail the differences and mechanics of various hot substances,  between chiles, pepper, mustard, and horseradish. Good show!

All my GFs knew/know I'm adamantly pro-life, so that wouldn't work on me.

Finely made items have a certain feel to them. Magazine advertisements impart intangible properties, and urban mythology reinforces that. So.. when you have that thing in your posession it may take awhile to push away the pre-conceptions and realize what you really have. Could be an...

If she's been supporting your education, or community property income has supported your education, expect to get hit with more than average maintenance. A good friend of mine supported his wife through an MBA degree, she wanted to split the month after, and in the divorce decree, he got half...

I'm not a fan of intense heat. I like Tabasco brand Chipotle, but it seems to have a fishy tase if I use too much. Red Hot is good too, but most of the time in cooking I use a Vietnamese Chili-Garlic paste from Huy Fong foods. I like it because it scales the heat well. A small amount delivers a...

About a year ago I got an Ibanez electric guitar beginner set with a small amp. It's pretty nice. They have a similar set for bass guitar. Maybe that's what you're looking for? I got mine at Guitar Center. HTH.

All structured payment schedules have a present value. I'd be interested to see what percentage of that JGW offers. Most people who get a windfall end up in worse financial condition because of it.

I tried a Zelda game on my N64, but there were no instructions for it and I couldn't figure it out. I think that was the last game I even attempted on the 64 before going on to PC games with Diablo and Starcraft.

Quote: Is that on the N64?  

Here's some used games I got cheap:   Geometry Wars. Wow, what a fun game. If you liked Asteroids this is an updated take on it. The version I have is GW: Retro/Evolved which came in the XBox Live Arcade Unplugged bundle. Other games on the disc include Texas Hold'em Poker, Backgammon...

Go ahead and speculate. I shall be waiting for the next issue of Weekly World News to learn the truth. (And how Batboy's new live-in is working out).

I played 2500 hours over 4 years on City of Heroes, a MMORPG. Then I burned out on PC games for awhile. I got an X Box 360 last year about this time, but only now have begun playing Black Ops on it.

Erectus Walks Among Us  by Richard D. Fuerle. Highly controversial but interesting.

The newer ones seem to work better than the older ones. Better color, faster getting fully bright etc. The area I live in has fairly horrendous surges, and the CFs last a lot longer than incandescents do.

Quote: I have a Kindle with the hooks case. I've not experienced lock-ups, but rather a very short battery life. A firmware update seems to have fixed that problem. 

Quote: Well, I'd be reluctant to believe the government/press in regard to inevitable doom. After all, the Earth has been struck many times by asteroids, and something has survived all of those events. I have a place to go to. I've been into survivalism in one form or another since the...

Try Buy.com. They might be able to ship to you quicker and their price is $149 usd.

I like not having to patronise the B&M snob shops where one is greeted and lectured by an effeminate geek as to why anything but what they sell is garbage. Online buying is a godsend to the consumer. I've found Amazon and Buy.com to be the fastest shippers, as I usually get stuff from them in...

 “Most manufacturers aim for a 5-1 ratio of the retail price to the cost of the good,’’ Krampf says. “Bose gets to about 7-1.’’    What I was taught in college is that an item's manufacturing cost cannot exceed 10 to 15% of the retail price. While the writer muses why the price hasn't come...
