Random thing:
Anyone want a copy of Battlefield 1943 for XBLA? I've had this code for it for like 7 weeks now just sitting on my desk. Post here, PM me, or IM me if you want it.
I'll decide who will get it (if, ya know, if more than one even asks) later (like, some time tomorrow) on a combination of random selection, quickness to asking, or whoever I like best.
Only thing I ask is that you actually want to play it. I'm gonna hate you if you play it for like 1 hour and never touch it again.
:thmbup1:
Edit: Okay, I want a few more people to ask before I decide, cause I like being in power (muwahahaha). Choosing between two people isn't any fun. :P
I'll take it if no one else will.
I'll take it, Rogue Nine told me via PM he doesn't want it ;) :P
give it to me, ill give it to niner
Speaking of giving away free stuff, I think I still have an extra copy of Half-Life 2 left to gift on Steam. If anyone wants it PM me an email to send it to.
GIMME THE PRIZE! (

Just pre-ordered the 4-pack for Left 4 Dead 2. One for me, my brother, my sister, and Bongo.
Behind schedule.

Whoops, time has passed me and I haven't finished the last three levels yet after 5+ days of down-time. Very good game and undoubtedly the best graphics. Ever. Too much (as I tirelessly report) Battlefield Bad Company multiplayer to go back.

Very fun stuff. The new weapons and vehicles and the parachute really re-fresh the entire game. Took a few notes from Saints Row 2 and decided to liven Liberty City a little. If you thought Brucie was Alpha, wait until you meet his older brother Mori, he's like Alpha times Ten.

Also, I pre-ordered Battlefield Bad Company 2 twice. First for 360, then for PS3 to get into the beta that's coming out on the 19th just for PS3. Though at the moment I'm sorta paranoid that I'm not going to get my code, so I may be pre-ordering it again. I can always get the money back, of course.
Alright. As you're all probably well aware, I am currently Jobless (no this unfortunately is not a post about me getting a job). And you're also probably aware that I am a huge CoD4 nut. So not having a job means not having money, and not having money meant I was unable to pre-order Modern Warfare 2.
Well, yesterday, Josh finally got off his ass and pre-ordered it from the Gamestop by my house so he could pick it up at midnight. We got there around like 9:40PM, and were the 3rd and 4th people there. Come around 11:55, this dude comes up to the guy in front of me and says "I'll buy your spot in line." He responds, saying he was fine where he was at. Then he asked Josh, who said no thanks as well. Then he asked me. I thought he was joking so I said "Sure, how much?" He then proceeded to pull out his wallet and hand me 50 f***ing dollars.
That's right, the kid that didn't have the money to pre-order MW2 who only went to the midnight launch cause he had nothing else to do came home with a copy of MW2.
I have a guardian angel, and apparently he's a bald latino with gauges.
Bongo, that money was hot... good thing you got rid of it.
The only very good thing that I've gotten recently is an unfinished 10 page international studies paper, and an unfinished 5 page international studies paper... whoops. ;D
oh, and acceptance into a study abroad program!
woooooooooooooo

Congrats on the study abroad thing man :)
And yes, it probably was, however I don't give a f*** because it got me MW2 :D
Also, MW2:
Campaign: Extremely short (took me about 4 hours on easy), they pull a Halo 2 ending (AKA No resolution BUT WE'LL BE MAKING A SEQUEL IN 4 YEARS), however it was insanely intense and fun.
Just reading your story made my night, Bongo. That was ****ing awesome.
I got a code for the BFBC2 beta on PS3 through IGN today. Applied for a code and got in... and it was the 6th code I've sought out. Two pre-orders at Gamestop (I'll get them refunded) and three applications for a drawing on the official Battlefield site. So, if I get more, I'll just cruise around some BFBC2 forums looking for people crying about not having a code and give them a little anonymous present.

you played it on easy?! what the ****

I do that with every game. I don't initially want a challenge, I want fun.
The next night I beat it on Veteran, it only took me around 6-7 hours though.
Got tickets to see Motörhead in Cambridge on the 23rd, and Lifelover+Urfaust in Oslo on the 28th. :)
^^^Motorhead? I'm envious! Saw them in Reno, NV once, or it could have been Sacramento CA.
Well, despite going to my uncle's viewing today (funeral's tomorrow) for 3 hours, I did get something good out of my birthday today. My uncle from the other side of the family has a relative who got a guitar and decided they didn't want it, so today my uncle gave it to me for my birthday, since he knew I wanted one.
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/IG-64_photos/guitar.jpg)
It's a Peavey standard guitar, and it's really nice. :D
I thought I might as well upgrade from all the GH and RB I've been doing. :p

I just watched The Waters of Mars.
This is a very, very good thing.

Yeah, I've seen them once before in my hometown, but will undoubtedly be cool to see them again. :)

Yeah, it was pretty damn awesome. Doctor Who turned to the dark side. Can't wait for the Christmas episode. ;)
A couple of things arrived in the post today (and yes, Star Trek Blu-ray on a 40inch TV with Surround Sound = nerdgasm)...

I broke down and bought a Bluray player that plays games.

And grabbed this for now.

I also grabbed a bunch of Blurays for 8 bucks each off amazon.

I found it on Dell.com for only $30 and had to pick it up.

I got this off a friend for 100 bucks, he didnt want it anymore (!) so now I have an ultra phone which I dont really use for a phone but more for messing around on the thing
EDIT: I just realized I'm a total sony whore... Sony laptop, sony camera, sony phone, ps3, freaking sony USB memory stick, and loads of old sony things

Random remark: Our family has always been a Sony whore in one area: the living room entertainment center (you know, TV, CD, etc). We have a Sony HDTV, Sony 5 disc CD player, Sony "receiver", Sony DVD... and we used to always have Sony VCRs and a Sony tape-deck (long time ago).
Basically, for the last 10+ years, our living room has had a wall of black plastic and Sony logos in it. The PS3 Slim I bought a bit ago may go into that collection some day, too. We don't have Blu-ray anything except for that.
Oh, and on a tangent of a random remark:
On Thanksgiving I spent some time showing my uncle (and coincidentally my aunt at one point) what games really looked like (not just the crap that's on the Wii). So I played some Uncharted 2. Did some of the train sequence, did the walk-through of the mountain village, fought the helicopter in the city, did the falling building section, did the starting train scene, showed him the whole "some parts of his shirt get wet!" thing. And he lol'd hard when I switched to Doughnut Drake and did some high-adrenaline action.
Tangent again:
We spent like an hour playing Nerf gun war in our house. It was stupid and random, but really fun... :V
finally decided to get a contract cellphone after dealing with gophone bs.
my mom informed me of a great deal on at&t's site last night. i ended up getting a sony ericcson c905 for free with 2 year contract, activation-fee waived, and free overnight shipping...the site said i saved $699.99...the phone should be here by tomorrow! i can't wait!

Agreed, and I'll judge the quality of said photos... you know, count pixels and stuff.
haha nice camera is that the w220?
Saw The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day today with a few friends. Very entertaining movie.

We've had snow in Finland for about a month now :¬:

BLAH BLAH FIN FIN BLAH BLAH!!!!!
snow in houstan isnt very normal numbnuts
This is the lamest Holiday season ever for Chicago. Normally it's snowed fairly heavily 2 or 3 times by now, but aside from a very, VERY light flurry the other day there hasn't been a flake in the sky.
Lots of snow here in northern Norway.
Completed my custom lightsaber, more or less. Now just needs the belt clip and the costume to go with:

Cool what you can do with some craftsmanship, tools, a visit to home depot, and a few pre-made components from TheCustomSaberShop and UltraSabers.
I just came to my attention today that apparently, back in May, three new chapters were made of the Azumanga Daioh manga... And I got my dirty hands on it already. It's cool seeing the characters being redrawn in Azuma's updated art style.
That's all. : P
I just submitted my last assignment for the semester, which means that I am now (unofficially) graduated with an Associate of Arts degree, with a (probable) 3.9+ GPA after over 60 credit hours.
Now I can start really building a portfolio and looking for a job. I've been told by professionals that I don't really need any more school in order to be hired for an art job. I may eventually go back to school if I ever want to move up in the game or film industry. However, before that happens I have to figure out what I actually want to do. In order to do that I actually have to get into the industry first in order to figure out how everything works and what I like doing.
[EDIT] I ended up with 3.951 GPA over 67 credit hours. All As and one B.

I never played these back on the PS2 and due to a recent development of no girlfriend, I've been tearing into games again. Snagged this collection and HOLY CHAINSWORDS BATMAN! It's friggin amazing. Epic, gory, intense, an awesome story, mind boggling puzzles, and some of the most infuriating, entertaining, and intuitive combat I've ever come across. These games are taking their rightful albeit tardy places as some of the best games I've ever played. Can't wait for March 31. OLYMPUS WILL FALL!!!
