I played it yesterday at a best buy, and even though the pad used mainly for the hi-hat was busted, requring me to use the lefty flip and play it kinda weird, I still almost five starred Sufragette City. Had the broken pad been working I would have easily five starred it.
You're lucky Grooves. All you care about is the singing, and because any USB mic works with it, and you already had a USB mic, you are able to get it for a reasonable price. Even though all I care about is the drumming (I'd still play the guitar, just not nearly as much, and would probably never sing), I still have to pay for the guitar and mic in addition to the drums. So a 90 dollar game becomes a 170 dollar game, which is too far out of my price range :(
If/when I do get the game, I'll gladly drum for ya though grooves.
61 degrees is underwear weather here. : P
Hah. Yeah, it's all relative. I've had a few family and friends come from Southern California up to Seattle where they complain it's cold and wear pants and jackets, while we walk around in shorts and T-Shirts.
If thats the case then 61 degree here is too hot to go outside..
I dont even wear a winter jacket anymore
It is snowing, there is ice on the road/windows and I'm walking around around the house with my coat on.
I'm currently in Michigan though, not Chicago.
It's dark for ca 20 hours here now, and we keep getting snow...
I gots me some glasses for my nearsightedness.
Seriously, I'm tripping out on all the detail that my world failed to have before. It's like going from Kansas to freaky-deaky wizard world, except there aren't talking lions walking around and I lit the scarecrow on fire.
Hey, he wanted a heart so he could feel the warmth in life. I don't see how I didn't provide for that.

Oh yeah, when I first got my glasses it was going from a 13" TV to a 72" HDTV - yeah... bad analogy but it's pretty much true.
When I first received my glasses, it felt like going from standard-def to high def. Then, once I got my contacts, it felt like going from a 13" HDTV to a 72" HDTV.
Hey, that's what it felt like for me. ;)

Sorry, I want to shoot things down and actually have a frame rate of over one digit at any time.
But really, it's a pretty cool game, arcade style. It's basically realistic, but you have 100 missiles, no black/red-outs, and I've only been hit twice in the first 2 hours of the game. Once from a SAM missile, and again barely strafed by an AA gun.
But when you strafe AA guns it's pretty cool, you'll see tracer rounds flying around you and stuff.

my truck (the construction yellow, ford ranger) needed too much work (lead spring busted, catalytic converter was going, muffler was shot, brakes and rotors were shot, and the left wheel axle was a little bent), so i just decided to get a low mileage vehicle, and this only had a little over 41,000 miles on it. it drives nice, still getting used to switching to 4WD when i need to though...
(note: vehicle pictured is not the exact one i have, but it's the same color and model)
What year and model? I can tell it's a Ford, but nothing else.

Today was my english final, which from what I knew was going to basically be short answer questions about what we've read since the midterm. Only problem is, I've been there so little since the midterm that I don't even remember what we've read. So I walk in expecting to bomb horribly, and he instead simply asks us to right a short essay about whether or not English classes should be manditory. In other words, instead of bombing, I passed with flying colors.
Dodging bullets ftw :D

Free gift from Nintendo... Manager's perk for attending the manager conference back in September!
Hate to say it, but it makes playing Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles a lot more fun, and makes me thankful that I hung on to the Wii after all.
I was tempted to trade the damn Wii in because I am fed up with the daily nonsense that customers put us through, and an overall lousy selection of games in the past year.
Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil 4, and Super Mario Galaxy are the only things that make me hang on to this system.

Now I can use my 7900GS KO on my main computer friggin' finally, thinking of getting a new $130-180 CPU within the next few weeks then a 8600 or maybe a 8800 - expecting a lot of Xmas money.

Oh yeah, you bet! I played SH3 a year or so ago and it was some of the best fun I've had. It really sucks you in, sure- it's incredibly complicated at the beginning even with more of the assistance turned on, it's still a boat submarine load of fun.
Also, I played the Rock Band demo today (I already have the game, though) and tried the Strat controller... it's freaking horrible. Feels cheap and fragile. The buttons are a little too large, get accidentally hit all the time because they fall off the edges. The whammy bar is in a weird position. The tilt function didn't work for me. It just felt wrong, I'd rather use the SG than that piece of crap.
*Edit*
I finished my first mission of SH4... Well, I thought I did but was then told to patrol somewhere else so I decided to call it a night... at 1:45am... It took me from around 10:30pm to 1:45am... It was a lot of fun though. I sank a lot of Japanese fishing boats with my cannon. Destroyed a freighter with one torp, it took around 30 minutes for it to sink, though. And had to deliver a spy to a Japanese town by dropping him off in a life raft in 30 foot deep water... mere feet from the bottom with rocks.
But anyway, a lot of fun, the water looks great, above and under. Hunting is a lot of fun, and I'm glad you can time compress all the way to 8192x, SH3 had a max of around 1024x I think, and it doesn't lag when changing the time.
Only disappointment is that the explosions look a little bleh. They look big and all, but it's like the explosions are going through a sort of filter that make it look compressed and muddy. And game run at 30-35 fps at max settings @ 1024x1280.
Double post, sue me.
But I'm poor now. But I did the math and I decided to get it last night because by New Years I predicted that with collected debts, paychecks, and gifts, I would get over $700. So I just took a cash dump of $420 and have plans to still make a gain. Hope my bank doesn't call all pissed off that I just emptied a good chunk of my bank account.

Big upgrade from AMD 3800 Single Core and a 7900GSKO 256mb. I plan on selling my CPU to a friend for like $30. And I might sell my 7900GSKO on eBay of something. DX10 here I come... this **** will run Crysis and UT3 no problem... muwahahahaha...

UT3 actually runs incredibly well on any system that can play most games. They did a good job with it.
It runs great with an ATI X800XL and a Athlon 64 3500 with 1GB of cheap ram
It runs perfect with an ATI X850XT and an Athlon X2 4400, with 1gb of good RAM
and then it just cannot be slowed down with a Q6600 and an 8800GTX
Crysis on the other hand...only ran well for the last option
I sure love my Q6600. I was thinking about getting an 8XXX series card for my new computer, but I found a deal for the 7900GS for about $120 at TD about 4 or 5 months ago and I haven't really regretted my decision. I decided that the only reason I'd want an 8XXX generation card would be for DirectX 10 capabilities, but in all honesty, I don't see a reason to upgrade until they release the 9XXX series. It will probably be much more efficient than what appear to be simply over clocked 7XXX cards with a few goodies attached.

Personally I've only REALLY seen the benefits of a quad core processor in two games..supreme commander and crysis.
I remember I was stuttering like hell on the 81x81km maps in supreme commande r with a dual core processor and now its completely smooth. Huge performance increase with that
Well I wasn't even talking about gaming. Just regular daily computer use is so much nicer. I'm the type of person that has pidgin, firefox, zone alarm, music, word, steam, skype/vent, and any other programs I may be using up all at the same time and I rarely encounter stutters.
My XLR8 8800GT 512mb arrived early yesterday. But I'll need my CPU before my computer starts to purr.
But I'm like super sick, I'm having trouble walking and anything else I do.

Frame rate in Crysis on minimum settings with a 7900GS was only in the 20's.
But with my 8800GT it runs high settings at around 20-30 fps. I plan to adjust though once I get my new CPU, my 3800 was clearly killing my frame rate.
I was commenting more on UT3, though.
Since you said "This **** will run Crysis and UT3 no problem"
But you're right about it having issues with Crysis.
Anyway, got the CPU and after spending 20 minutes trying to apply the right amount of thermal paste I've got it running.... and holy sheeeet, Crysis... mostly high and a few medium settings @ 1280x1024, no AA... Getting 30-40 fps and only dips down a little in heated situations (25-30 fps). I'm so freakin' happy. And to top it off, it got rid of my sound bug problem in Crysis, so I know what I'm getting for Christmas! : D

This made my day so great!
Finally got my free copy from Ubisoft!
Reason I got this game for free? My store outsold the entire district in one single day. My entire staff got free copies of Assassin's Creed!
So far I LOVE this game. I was kind of doubting it at first thinking it would be another Splinter Cell/Prince of Persia clone...but it is soooo different than that. My only problem with this game is finding places to stop, because I have to work in the morning...etc. :)
I just watched 28 Days Later. Again.
I love that movie.
