I cant add too much other than I got my first big boy phone last month and the wife and I went with Android phones because of Amazon's deals. She got the Droid X for $.01 and I got the HTC Thunderbolt for like $170. We are both very happy with our phones and geeking out over the customization available. Previously I had a non smart phone and used my iTouch for that stuff. The change has been great. My only complaint is the sheer volume of Android phones makes the pre-purchase research a hassle.

I wasn't talking about Led Zeppelin though...I was talking about classical music and it's influence on popular music (you know, blues, folk, country, r&b, rock and roll...) I was completely puzzled by these 2 posts for a solid day. I came back with fresh eyes and saw your screen name. I meant "tangent" as in a tangent to the thread, not to you. Good shit. Whats on second.

The show runners did many interviews after the episode and resounding confirmed there was no trickery in the finale. Although the camera moves, it is only for visual appeal.

I'm not sure why you're telling me this? it was a horribly executed attempt at referencing the fact they stole a shit ton of content.

tangent, Led Zeppelin were more than influenced by certain acts when putting together a good number of their songs. um on topic, I think having a working knowledge of what influenced your favorite music is essential to having a complete understanding of what you like, but there is no shame in not enjoying those influences as much as what lead you to them. for example, I know a guy who is a huge SOAD fan who only recently listened to Faith No More. He might not enjoy FNM as much as SOAD but it did give him some frame of reference when listening to those early SOAD albums.

we're all pretty sure that one of the super secret acts that they cant announce is Steely Dan, right?

I checked this out while in Boston a few weeks ago. It was a nice way to spend 2 hours. Wouldnt say its a "cant miss" exhibit and the admission is a bit steep. Some of the views from the CMOA were better than the pieces.

I will do the same, my puppy nommed on my headphones so I might not be in full communication. Anyway, XBL is Oniwana

Im a trained professional, I appreciate your concern though.

the big one was 21, the small one was 14. Those were 2 separate nights, the picture was taken the morning after 21 before leaving the house. I was presentable after the 21 beer staff, I started around 2 and spent the day mowing the lawn then tending to the fire pit until after midnight. I have a video of me opening beer 16 (which was taller than me at that point) and then chugging it. I gotta find a cable to upload it with though.

Drink 1, tape a fresh one to the top. Around beer 12 it gets to be a great challenge. The big one woulda been bigger but we ran out of beer.

Today i ordered my first real record player, with speakers and a receiver. Its been a great day Pro-ject Debut III BIC America DV62si Bookshelf Speakers Sherwood RX4503 100 Watt RMS Receiver Audio Technica PEQ3 Phono Preamp and now I wait.

Treyarch made the most balanced, best supported CoD. Haters gon hate.

I is wisest wizard.

I will also freely admit that my love of the first Hangover was HIGHLY influenced by the fact I saw it soon after booking a trip to Vegas for Pacquiao/Cotto, my first Vegas trip, with 7 guy friends. We had an insane trip and while hungover and near dead on the plane, we all queued up The Hangover on the headset TVs. It capped off the greatest trip we've ever done. Also, Mike Tyson singing In The Air Tonight reminds me of that ill Cadbury commercial featuring a Gorilla playing the song on drums.

Loved the first one, thought it should have had a Best Picture nomination in the expanded Oscars. Saw the 2nd one last night and it made me so so sad. I think the location was it's biggest fault. Vegas has a certain charm for debauchery. In Part 1, the guys fucked up but there werent going to be long term implications. Bangkok raises the stakes as a setting and that doesnt translate well. Spoilers, natch Stu pulling out his own tooth? Funny Stu getting fucked in the ass by a tranny? Not Funny Chow (really want to call him Chang) being locked in a trunk and popping out? Funny Chow OD'ing on coke and having his body hidden in an ice locker then popping out alive? Not Funny Getting punched by Mike Tyson for stealing his Tiger? Funny Getting shot for stealing a monkey? Not Funny It all felt forced, when Ed Helms strums away on his guitar about being stuck in "Alantown" I just cringed. Speaking of Alan, he was completely unredeemable this time. That character wasnt 1/3rd as intolerable in the first one. my 2 cents.

I find MW2 unplayable with the abundance of Quickscopers, Noobtubers w/ Danger Close and Marathon/Lightweight/Commando rushers. If my copy wasnt scratched to fuckery I'd happily sell it.

AMC did themselves a huge service by reairing S1-S3 over the last few months, I watched it the first time they did it because it was mega DVR friendly. Now I've forced all of my friends to do the same thing. July 17 is gonna be amazing.

Im playing all scatterbrained at the moment Mass Effect 2 (2nd file, rogue Cybil Shepard) EA The Masters (shitting interface doesnt outweigh great gameplay) CoD Blops (so great and even better when played in a rotation. Had some really good games last night)

eh, that stuff doesnt matter to me I guess, I just care how the game plays. Black Ops dropped Stopping Power and gave guns noticable recoil, which IMO changed the gameplay for the better. I guess there are some carryovers but the Enfield, Galil and G11 were first timers if I recall correctly. That G11 was a unique gun that was really fun to play with. I'll be playing MW3 but they have better support the title after launch this time. Im willing to give them a pass on MW2 because of the lawsuit and shakeup at IW. This time there is no excuse to wait months for a patch a Care Package glitch , Akimbo 1887s and that insane Javelin glitch. Last month IW got around to patching a map glitch from the DLC packs, and at no point did they do anything to address Noob Tubes + Danger Close + One Man Army. All of those things broke the game. Treyarch didnt have one issue approaching those levels during Black Ops, they earned my respect.

Guns in MW2 had no recoil, they were a joke.

fair enough, wasnt sure if the music was known to be someone else's. Really nice touch with the empty gameboy though.

Zune marketplace. Cost me $30 but I rationalized it off as "I just watched 3 seasons of this show for $37 when I include the Netflix cost". Well worth it to watch it comfortably from my couch in HD without a laptop burning up my nuts.

I'll be getting it but until MP details are rolled out in mid to late summer there isnt anything about this that interests me yet. I am extremely satisfied with Black Ops and have minimal complaints about how Treyarch handled both the release and support. While I'd prefer for the game to have a better sound whoring system, I'll happily trade that out for a developer who listens to feedback and rebalances weapons as needed.

My favorite TV seasons off all the times. The Wire- Season 3 The Wire- Season 4 Breaking Bad- Season 3 Mad Men- Season 1 Parks & Rec- Season 2 Arrested Development- Cant pick a season, watched them in one blur on Netflix 30 Rock- Season 2 Always Sunny- Season 2 Think thats about it. I moved about 300 miles away from my friends and family, into the goddamn woods so Ive consumed way too much TV in these months. I am eagerly awaiting the return of Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. Game of Thrones has high potential to crack this list, and Im looking forward to the HBO show Luck premiering.
