Cool thanks for the tip on KDHX I tuned in yesterday and it was all soul, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a good alternative but god damn do I miss scrobbling with last.fm

I forgot to mention I have an android device not an iphone.

I normally use my phone in conjunction with last.fm to provide my driving music but since they now make you pay for subscriptions I'm looking for alternatives. I don't much like Pandora since they don't find half the bands I'm looking for.

I found an app called tunein radio that let's me listen to internet radio but I'm not sure of any good places. So if you know of any I would greatly appreciate it.

I've wanted this watch for awhile now but it's pretty hard to find. The Nixon Dictator

I just watched the whole scene and the same part never shows the full motorbike. Only from the back of them and right at the beginning can you see the full motorbike. There are really no good shots to work with. This is the best I could do.

People who get upset with lowballers need to suck it up and learn how to haggle. My first offer is always a lowball. Don't ask for offers if you don't want to haggle. Just set your prices.

The thing is, I do set my prices whenever I put something for sale unless it's a test and I'm not sure what to set it at. People still lowball at set prices. Moreso at deadformat than here but I still constantly get pms from people trying to be cocky as shit telling me how they can get better prices elsewhere and I need to sell them the record at their price.

Yea lowballing happens a lot here and over at deadformat.net. I always tell people that I look at what a record sells for on ebay and then subrtract a few dollars, if that's not good enough they are welcome to shop elsewhere.

I'm definitely going to read Preacher and I'm about halfway through the boys right now. I'm starting to become a huge Garth Ennis fan.

I'm realizing with the vast ammounts of arcs and different stories it's just a lot easier to follow certain writers as opposed to just reading full series and putting up with it when the crappier writers step in.

I'm getting caught up in Greg Paks's run of Hulk right now, it's awesome to see someone actually write a good story about my favorite superhero when I was a kid. Pak seems to be an all around solid writer, I just read his mini series Magneto Testament and it was awesome.

Invincible. Seriously just buy everything now. God dammit it is my favorite book.

I love Invincible or anything written by Kirkman. It's so awesome that the high school principle looks like Carl Winslow, is named Winslow, and the schools name is Reginald VelJohnson High plus all the Invincible trades are named after an 80's tv show.

Have you read his Irredeemable Ant Man series? That was a good read also.

I know where all nerds here, who's into comics? I just started reading again and I can't believe how the level of quality has ramped up so much.

It's every bit as addicting as collecting records. Thanks to half price books I've gone from no comics to about 5 longboxes in a couple months.

oh and my sister has a high end dell and loves it and my mom just bought a sony and loves it.

I would back this, I just got a dell XPS and love the thing.

Just keep checking the forums over at slickdeals.net and you'll find a good basic laptop in no time.

If you don't want anything fancy why would you contemplate spending all that money on a Mac?

Candid photo from the Kinect.

We're pure trash.

Someone really needs to make something competitive to Ebay. These guys just get more and more ridiculous, between ebay and paypal theres almost no point in even bothering with it.

Anyone picking up Yakuza 4 today? If you get it at Kmart Yakuza 3 is free with it. I'm pumped since I never got around to picking up 3 either.

Also the government just came in and made a lot of the ingredients illegal so things are shifting towards a new formula that's not quite as potent yet.

I'm not sure what you smoked or what these kids smoke that gives them seizures and shit but some kid at the Fest introduced me to this and I've loved it ever since. Don't get me wrong I still prefer the real thing but while I'm looking for a job it works wonders and is dirt cheap. I definitely wouldn't trust all brands of it though, certainly not something you can pick up at a gas station.

If you can find it try Mr. nice guy it's the absolute best of the stuff that I've tried. It gives me a strong but focused high, I never feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest and it lasts a lot longer than some of the other stuff I've tried. Seriously though I've gone through a lot of brands and I've never had a shitty experience, the worst I've come across is shit that just felt like it was nothing, I may as well have been smoking tobacco.

I'm getting ready to pull my hair out playing the Cotton Alley levels in Super Meat Boy

Questions?

What's the catch?

The catch is he's not trying to make you money, he's trying to get referrals so that HE makes money.

So any company putting out a tablet won't be a money obsessed corporation?

Like I said, sometimes it's unavoidable. Some times it's just picking the lesser degree of evil. No matter what everyone goes into business to make money, I understand that. The important thing is how they go about their business. If they participate in bullshit tactics it's not really something I want to be part of no matter how good the product is.

yea all those dicks over at apple...

I'm just saying, I know it's business but it's harder for me to swallow. It's fine that most people don't read into it as much as me.

And sometimes it's just unavoidable. I don't see Microsoft as being much better than Apple but it's one or the other.

Which is what I was talking about earlier, it could easily and very cheaply be integrated into the ipad2 but to cash in they choose to sell adapters which are a pain to carry around with the ipad.

Apple is good at 3 things. Design, monopolizing accessories and being proprietary toolbags. This is a great example, charging $30 for an unnecessary accessory just because they can. You're right, it easily could be integrated but why bother when there's money to be made on it? I love their products but I hate them.

Which is why I can never bring myself to buying apple products, my friend has the ipad and I actually do love playing around with it when he brings it over. I just can't bring myself to give money to assholes.

Just a couple days ago I had a couch picked out, even brought the moving truck and everything but the salesman was a complete douche so just about when the sale was final I told him to fuck off and maybe next time he'll be nicer so he won't lose out on a 1,400 dollar sale. I still really want that couch but every time I would sit on it I would just think of that asshole enjoying his commission he made off me.

Point being, I just don't think I could enjoy the ipad as much knowing I just helped make a bunch of dicks make more money than they already need. The android tablet market will catch up very soon and I would feel much better giving my money to some of those developers.

I wouldn't hold my breath on an SD card. I don't see much of a need for it on the iPad anyways.

They probably won't bother since they already sell adapters.

Which is what I was talking about earlier, it could easily and very cheaply be integrated into the ipad2 but to cash in they choose to sell adapters which are a pain to carry around with the ipad.

And there are other uses for SD besides storage. I bought my dad an android tablet and I know he loves to be able to put his cameras sd card in and show people his pictures easily on the fly.

I really don't like how they omitted a lot of features fans were clamoring for specifically SD support, I just don't see any reason not to include this except to cash in on more money which is part of the reason why I hate apple in the first place. This is really what I can't wait to get my hands on

Wow, I guess I don't pay that much attention to the news.
