Better seats, though usually you can hear them from every seat in the house. :)

Nice pictures too, I never have gotten a camera along with me, usually I don't want to keep track of one during the concert. :)

Most of the people I talked to the next day said that they could hear from their house so it was pretty damn loud.

Yeah, I didn't bring a camera. It would've been too much of a hassle. I just used my phone which apparently has half decent quality. :p

The first "gaming" mouse I've ever owned. Love it so far. I'm actually not used to having something this sensitive. I can tell it will be fantastic for games, I just have to let myself adjust.

Got it for $20 off of Woot.com.

Curve 8900. Love it

Got me my new Sennheiser HD280 Pro's. My first real set of head-phones. One of their most acclaimed sets, and for under $100.
(Got mine for around $70, and got a $14 rebate using Bing Cashback).

Nearly 400 reviews, 4.5 stars.

Only thing is that these are monitoring headphones, so they are designed to be completely neutral and accurate to what's being pumped through them. So they're a little flat at first, but using Equalizers fixes these problems.

Also, since my bro is going out to live on his own at college, I got him another copy of Sins of a Solar Empire so we can play each other, as a going-away present. Yay.

Following my weekend in New York City for my birthday:

The bill from a fancy shmancy sushi place in the city, thank God I didn't have to pay for it. Oh, and add another $100 onto that for tip.

I seriously need to work at a restaurant where I can make $100 tips.

Well, to be fair, most of that tip goes to the sushi chef who was preparing the meal. It was at a sushi bar, so we were literally sitting right in front of the chef who hand made the nigiri we were eating.

Mmm. Samsung 32" 1080p HDTV. A great deal at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN32B550-32-Inch-1080p-Touch/dp/B001U3Y8PE/ref=pd_ts_e_19?ie=UTF8&s=electronics) if you're in the market.

Excellent quality. Practically a picture in a frame. <thumbs up> Only $709? Not bad at all.

Amazon has an excellent selection of fringe metal. I got my Jason Becker tribute CD in the mail in three days imported all the way from Sweden. Awesomely excellent ablum BTW. Best album I have bought in months.

I got pulled over in Missouri for suspicion of drug running

****ing A

Did you tell the cop "I'm not running, I'm driving"?

no, but i did mace him

And it probably was a mace, too.

Anyway, at day three at PAX09 atm, sitting in a sea of sumo bean bags with a bunch of people, 30% on a DS, 20% on their phone, 50% apparently asleep.

Pretty lax day today. Lines are still long, and the panels aren't that great right now. I've already played the BFBC2 demo three times, but I think I'll go and grow my wrist band collection, soon. Like this girl: http://mypict.me/show.php?id=yj0G)

Yesterday was our 13th wedding anniversary, which in my books makes for a very good thing. :)

Also, got this on ebay for cheap...

Congrats leXX!

As for me, I recently picked up a USB Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. It works very well and the mic on it is far better than any analog mic I'd used previously.

Before or after they added cut copy and paste? Oh and remind me, have Apple finally got round to supporting Flash websites?

PAX was fun. Meh.

Also, random thing time:

Though the story seems to be insanely sappy, and not something I wanna watch at the moment (apparently, it'll make you cry for like three days straight), I think I've found an anime movie... thing, that quite possibly has the greatest art and animation of anything I've ever seen, ever. Every god damn frame looks like an individual work of art.

I mean, f*ck. It looks better than Spirited Away.

Wow, looks interesting. I'll have to check that out.

Just got back from seeing Inglorious Basterds.

The last half hour of that film was filled with so much epic death. Hitler's face being torn off by bullets was so boss...

I was actually pretty disappointed with the movie :|

7/10. Meh.

The only part about it I didn't like was...when the jewish chick shoots the gnatzee soldier, then he starts moaning, so instead of shooting him again (preferably in the head) she walks over and he shoots her. It just seemed so cliche.

Yeah, I really mostly had problems with the scene where Diane Kruger's character is introduced, because they were in that room for enough time where it really felt like the scene dragged on, especially considering the film didn't really progress much during the scene. Especially since everyone except Kruger's character dies and it takes us 20 minutes for her to spit out Hitler's going to the premeir... I can't spell that word in english, French is relevant so have that.

Although, best part of the film was "Bone-Jore-No." HANDS. DOWN.

I was actually pretty disappointed with the movie :|
Same here, in the end I felt like Tarantino started out with a potentially great idea (the violent and ruthless anti-heroes wrecking havoc in nazi-occupied france), but then he fumbled it away by making it into an awkwardly-paced revenge-plot. Instead of showing things that would actually be interesting how did the "Little Man" get captured? What was the back story of some of the other Basterds?, we were treated to pointless conversation between the bitchy Jewish girl and the German sniper. Oh well, I guess pointless conversation is Tarantino's trademark. Even though I can appreciate some of the "subtler" themes of cinema as brutal entertainment, I still felt unfulfilled by the ending, since it just seemed to drag on and on.

On the positive side, I thought Cristoph Waltz as Hans Landa was absolutely brilliant and stole every scene he was in, and the bar scene was extremely well done. Not even close to being a masterpiece though, and this is after my second viewing.

Awyea

On 9-9-09 I purchased the following in honor of The Beatles:

http://i28.tinypic.com/qyixkl.jpg/)

Beat the game first night i brought it home. 5 starred every song. Planning on going back through with higher difficulty settings. I just wanted to see all the animations and unlock all the venues first.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ANS85BCJL._SS500_.jpg)

This is the 2003 DVD version of the 1995 mini- series that was designed to help sell the Beatles "outtakes and rarities" cds known as "Anthology". If your a Beatles fan, the best part of Anthology was the mini series itself because unlike most Beatles documentaries this is the band talking about themselves through they're point of view. George Harrison was still alive during the time of this recording. There are 11 hours worth of performances, and behind the scenes footage here. Unless you are a true Beatlemaniac you will be bored to tears. It's an 8 part series plus extras on 5 DVDs.

Oh yes.

http://i28.tinypic.com/qyixkl.jpg/)

I'll just repeat the last three posts. I got Beatles Rock Band too. Revolution is an excellent song, and is now my favorite song ever.

BUT

I got:

Oh snap! That's actually pretty sweet. Nice to see the Furries getting some love, eh?


...wait.....

She yiffs for the crowd's cheers. :xp:

Nah, just kidding. That's actually pretty cool Ave. Perry Panther's got some moves.

* New headphones, they're pretty sweet, although not too expensive. Good deal.
* Signed CD from one of my favorite local bands, The Will Evans Project, yesterday.
* Javascript book so I can write some greasemonkey scripts.

Picked up Braid on Steam yesterday. For anyone who hasn't bought it, it's marked down to $5 so there is no excuse not to get it.

Meh, I'm happy with my Intuos, but that is pretty awesome.

I beg to differ. What if you spent your last $5 on a discount/refurbished hooker?

Anyhow, the magical internet fairy's that sounded vaguely like pirates delivered me a present today.

Absolutely fantastic CD that will be receiving heavy rotation in my foobar2k. My only gripe with it is that half the tracks sound more Brendon Small than Nathan Explosion. The Cyborg Slayers is absolutely amazing.

Brutal.

They've got all the bases covered, it seems.

No.

Did 44 Alphonse Mucha works today, I'm on a roll.

Also, did more character detail in Musashi... there are A LOT of named characters.

Got my 10,002nd kill in Battlefield Bad Company, earning me 30 pts with the Beans, Bullets, Bandages achievement. Took me 152 hours of online gaming, too. One heck of an achievement... hah. Anyway, that pushed me over 30,000 achievement points, so yay.

I saw like three dozen people at PAX with those things in their bags. Crazy Street Fighter peoples. Crazy!

I played Tekken on an arcade a long time ago, and I have to admit, it was pretty cool. There's something about all those buttons that makes you "weeee, this is fun :D"

I've got tickets to see these mother****ers in October with Deftones.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb289/Guntur_ROXX/Slipknot-AllHopeIsGone2008.jpg)

On Tuesday, I went to see Killswitch Engage, In Flames, and Protest The Hero. ****ing awesome. Meet Protest The Hero. They definitely have to be my favourite band right now and bought this bad ass shirt.

http://www.protestthemerch.com/photos/pth_poseidon_shirt_thumb.jpg)

Eventually I hope to get their other shirts, with Hades and Boreas.
