Thanks to the new beta regional pricing a few things have come down to acceptable levels on steam for those of us outside the US.

It is also nice not having to use google to convert the currency and then add 15% for the tax.
So I bought myself:

Oh, I preordered that on Amazon and got it the day it came out retail. Damn good game Left 4 Dead is. Apart from the damn lobby system.

I have people to play it with, so I don't really have any problems with it. *shrug*
It is a very good game though, we've already had some pretty epic moments. This inspired me to make yon sig below ↓
I actually had to edit out louis' and francis' hair, because the art I used for it released on the website is still using the old design (link (

I found that hosting a server (on your own computer) is relatively easy - just go to play with friends, press host, then make it public (if that was what you were looking for). Useful if you want to spawn neverending hordes on an unsuspecting group of survivors. :dev7:

I bought myself a traditional wooden hunting bow.
Its ****ing sweet. Although now I have to figure out some way to make a decent target. I tried using an old door for a target and the arrows went right through it :|

Hobos. Years of sorrow on the streets have toughened their skin into leather. Plus, they have enough fear of death in them to keep them on the chase, but a lack of nutrients and hope ensures they never move too quick.
$10 at Target, best "Nerf" dart gun ever.

Buzz Bee Toys Double Shot dart gun, total awesome in a orange, green, and yellow package. Shoots nicely, hurts a little at close range, great for Mafia style kills on your siblings, parents, or complete strangers. The kicker is that it comes with shells that you load into it, and when you fire both shots off the shells eject, totally awesome. :V
I'd be playing Left 4 Dead, but my xbox is broken and I haven't sent it in.

and that's a very good thing? that's almost as good as groovy getting his car back, posted in the very bad things thread...
good things....i may be getting a promotion at work, the pieces may be falling into place..
In my never ending quest to outdo myself in the "holycrapawesome gift for girlfriend" category (I got her a heart shaped meteorite pendant for Thanksgiving) I just got my girlfriend a promise ring that I plan to give her for Christmas. This is no ordinary promise ring, mind you. I got her an ancient celtic bronze ring unearthed ten years ago from the Roman Legion occupied area in Vidin Bulgaria. Based on its design it most likely dates from shortly after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the beginning of the medieval age.

Seriously, how cool of a boyfriend am I? :emodanc:
P.S. I'm in desperate need of a ring box. Can anyone help me out?
rhett what if there's a ghost in it do you speak latin
Oddly enough I have already considered the possibility that the ring is, in fact, haunted given the fact that, you know, it's probably spent the better part of 1200 years on a corpse's hand.
Fortunately she digs that kinda stuff. Thank you for your concern though.
you should get her a latin<->english dictionary as well and tell her it's for in case the ring is possessed
Where do you find things like this, Rhett?
And the Meteorite . . . that's freakin' awesome.
I usually just cop out and make a picture for them :/
Holy cow Rhett, that's awesome.
I got a hacky-sack a few minutes ago... :D

@ Rhett... That's Awesome I'll be sure to do the same thing when I start dating... :xp:

That is the total opposite of Wally!
But still, that's great TiE!
Haha, I don't care, because I love 12 Angry Men, and the lead character is the best :D
Awesome work, TiE.
Why the hell am I the 75 year old.
Oh and like all crazy weird things, I found it on the internet through an antiquities dealer.
Oooh that's neat. I love browsing the Antique shops by my house. You can find some sweet stuff there that you'd never expect.
And don't dis Juror #8!
Preordered the Coheed & Cambria Neverender 4 DVD 4 CD Box set (
http://coheedandcambria.com/neverender) for $130 shipped.
Coheed & Cambria did a concert series called Neverender, 4 nights, one CD played live in it's entirety from front to back each night. This includes a DVD and CD for each night, as well as a Dragonfly, and since I ordered before Dec. 16, I got my name in the Children of the Fence book that's included.
Very very happy, can't wait til March 3 for it to ship :)
You made me Juror #12? That guy was lame. But I commend you for your taste in film. Reminds me of a sig I thought about making awhile ago from this picture:

Also, good choice for Dath. And haha, ET is piglet. :p
I just love how I'm owning all of your jerks with my sweet mustache.

Ok, so I get these random fits of insomnia where, despite my best efforts to sleep, I simply can't. So after 3 hours of lying in my bed doing nothing, I hopped onto the interwebs and started browsing random youtube/collegehumor videos to keep me entertained. Now I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I stumbled across this (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4). Now, I don't normally listen to the softer stuff, but god damn, that song really blew me away. So I decided to, ehem, acquire the cd it's on.

And now after seeing the cover art, I swear I've seen it posted in here before.
After giving it a full listen to I can definatley say I agree with you. I need some more time really listening to it though.
Definately a great download, er, I mean, purchase.
i did a 360 degree turn going 50mph driving down the street in my car today, that was hella fun
Real men be pullin' 720s.
Yeah, I skidded on some black ice going round a corner a couple day ago, and it scared the bejesus outta me. =/
Real men be pullin' 720s.
is that so? well i did a 69 to your mom the other day
Man Dath, you gotta 86 the 69 jokes. Dey gettin' old... like Rhett's mother.
I pulled a near 180 today.
While trying to drive down my street in 6 inches of snow.
It was not enjoyable.
awesome. i love driving in the snow. it's the best!
Haha, it is fun, except for those few moments when you come inches away from hitting someone else on a busy road. Those aren't fun until 5 minutes later looking back, after the fact.
Very good thing:

Good thing: Nerding out with IG so hard that it hurts... sleepy tiem... sleeepy tiem...
*dead*
Oh, and by nerding I mean buttrape training in the ways of the force 3dsMax.
Hope she doesn't accidentally take it as a proposal there Rhetty boy. Just.. yeah. : D
I'm going to make sure and specify that it's a promise ring before giving it to her. :D
Which definition of promise ring do you abide by?
Also, since I seem to be extremely late to the party on these things this year :/

After Christmas I'll hopefully use Gamestop's Buy 2, get 1 free used games for Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Grand Theft Auto 4.

So she's a sicko......Does she have a sister?
Well damn, I hope it's not a scam or anything... and I hope it doesn't take 6 months to arrive, but damn, $3 and you can get a cloth (not crappy plastic) custom printed mouse pad with free shipping. (I mean, they use "lol" on their website, da hell?) I ordered 5 for $15. But they do promise they will arrive in about 6-10 days. Oh, and they accept Paypal, which was the deal maker for me.

I used my most mild examples. :V
That seems really cool!
If you get your mouse pads and aren't beat up by Nigerian thugs who take your bank account hostage, I will buy one as well.
I've been getting custom mouse pads out of china for that price for going on two years now. Did I neglect to tell you guys? I've got a stack of Vaders, some Star Wars Rock Band ones and even a Schroedinger's Cat one. :D They are VERY high quality. Expect a couple week wait though.
As for my definition of a promise ring: "A Promise Ring is a ring that is given before an engagement ring, promising that the proposal is coming soon."
Isn't that the fairly universal definition of it?
I always thought it meant "I promise I will be nice to you as long as you continue to put out"
Clearly I was mistaken.
