Yeah, I was weighing the pros and cons of buying the model kit and commissioning someone to build it, but then I thought, it wouldn't look right, the only other 1/72 I have is a custom YF-19 by Kurt, everything else is in 1/60, so I might as well just buy the 1/60 and leave it in fighter mode. It'll probably cost the same after commissioning someone.

After a thread hits so many pages, it slows down the board, so it goes into megathread heaven. I'm still debating getting the Alto DX or waiting for Bandai to release a Alto fighter mode only model, seeing as I have only been displaying stuff in fighter mode, I don't really need the full transforming toy/kit.

Haha, just watched this and that was the first thing my son and I both said, give her a gun!!! So Leon tosses her his gun and he pulls a backup gun out to finish, might as well give her the backup gun in the first place, you know she can use it. And where was Leon keeping all his extra magazines?!?!?!? I want to know so I can do that. I usually only carry two extra mags when I carry concealed. Also, what was the point of having Angela in a dress at the end???? And another thing about those SWAT guys. WTF???? I'm just going to rush in and pick this guy up that's lying on the ground? Ummm...no. Spraying and Praying?? No, I only have so many magazines on me, I better make it last. All in all, I did like the movie. It held my interest that my son and I watched it late at night and didn't get to sleep till 3am. It's a school night too, I'm a bad father.

I just got the single DVD edition, nothing else on it but the movie.

I'll check it out, I still have an old save where they are mad at me and i can't do dialogue, but it will do scripted dialogue, so i will try to do that and see what happens. My next time through, I'm just going to maintain neutral karma, save before an achievement, and get my neutral and evil karma achievements at the same time and only do the quests i missed the first time through. === ok, you can still play the main quest with the BoS mad at you. When Sarah asks if you're ready, you have to say yes, so the main quest dialogue will continue, then it plays normal after that. time to start over

crap, was going to try and finish the game today, after finishing agatha's quest, i went back to the citadel to finish the main quest, but everyone is hostile towards me??? I reloaded, went back in with NO companions, and they're still hostile. I'd hate to have to reload to just after getting out of Raven Rock because I went and did a bunch of quests after that, but if I have to, I have to. this sucks! --- ok, i guess maybe it was agatha's music playing in the background making people insane??? I changed radio stations, slept and went back in to the citadel and everyone was fine. now i am done with good karma, will replay next with neutral karma

crap, i was going to borrow someone's Halo 3 to copy to HDD because mine is a bit scratched. Oh well. Guess I won't be doing that. HDMI cables for less than $10 at monoprice.com

I thought all newer 360s have the HDMI port now? I was at GS a few weeks ago and they had a used Elite HD (120GB) that I bought for $65, then I was wondering what to do with my old 20 gb Halo 360 HD, so I bought an Arcade system (the cheapest one) for my son (since I sold his old system back in the spring because of bad grades), so he can use the Halo HD, and the Arcade system came with an HDMI port.

I did my best to base my avatar off myself. I'm trying to finish up Fallout 3 as a good player, then I'll play it sporadically as an evil character. I just loaded COD5 and COD4 onto my hard drive. I still have not opened up Gears2 or Dead Space yet. I'll get around to them eventually. I'll install those onto the HD later, thankfully, I have the Elite HD. I'd run out of room if I still had the 20gb HD.

a coworker has Verizon and we just unlocked him phone (yes, hack), but it was pretty simple, we followed instructions we got online and the software was found online as well. it was a seem edit or something.

I've been mixing up different songs from Dragonforce's fourth album.

yeah, i know i'm a bit harsh on the power supply, i just can't seem to get registered on the Dell Community to ask questions. I've had no problems with either of my Dells, they're tough and they work great. If you're having no problems with the 8800, then I guess I'll spring for a 9800 for him since they're running around the same cost as the 3870. one of these I guess: XFX EVGA MSI here, found an old pic (don't really feel like going digging the XPS out of the desk again until I'm ready to swap cards)

looking to upgrade the video card in my computer before I give it to my son for school/college. it's only got a 375W power supply, so I wasn't really looking to do that big of an upgrade. (yeah, Dell power supplies suck) it's currently got a GeForce 7900 GS with 256MB Ram. (this is what it came with in 2007) I was looking at replacing it with this Radeon 3870 I don't think it'll overtax the power supply. The computer is: Dell XPS410 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo 2GB Ram Vista Home Premium 500 gb HD (Raid 0?) 2 DVD burners nothing else attached. There's plenty of room in the case as the only card inserted in there now is the 7900GS. His montior will actually be my old 32" Sharp LCD hooked up by HDMI hopefully. If not, he can have the 22" Dell LCD and I'll buy myself another monitor. Will he notice any improvements with the 3870 card, or should I just leave him with the 7900 GS. The 7900GS was good enough for me when I played Oblivion and Crysis (medium settings only), but since I built my own computer with two 9800GTX SLI'd, I'm pretty much spoiled. I don't want to replace the power supply since I still have some warranty left in the stupid thing (work made me buy it since they paid for half of the system) If anything happens, I can swap out the video cards before the tech gets here)

I'm picking up my copy of COD5 tomorrow. I'll start playing Friday. I'll probably wait for Left 4 Dead until it comes down in price. I still haven't opened up Gears of War 2 yet. I changed my gamertag from Sarge051 to Chowser51

Did you find the two ghouls in the tunnel? One of them asks you to find Sugar Bombs for him. In their area is a room with some radioactive canisters. There is a manhole cover in there that you can take down, then follow the arrows to find the Family.

My coworker bought Fallout 3 for his 360 and even on my aging Nvidia 7900GS (256mb), it looks better on the PC and I don't have all the settings set at max either. I have an 8600GS on my laptop and that looks even better. Haven't seen the PS3 version to compare yet. For these type of games, I prefer the keyboard/mouse set up. For games like Gears and COD, I'd prefer the 360 controller. Also the cost of video cards have come down. I was planning on getting a cheap 9800 to replace the 7900, but why bother, the 7900 is running things fine.

For games that aren't multiplayer (like Fallout 3), I'll buy it on PC to save $10 as well.

I still haven't opened up Gears of War 2 yet. I'm too busy playing Fallout 3. I just hopped back on the COD5 beta last night (it's over today folks) just to get used to the controls again. It doesn't feel much different from COD4 except for the lack of Modern Weapons. I started with COD4, so I've never played a Treyarch version, but it plays alot like COD4, so I have no gripes. Yeah, I hate when the dogs come after me, but I don't mind when I send them out. Did they ever fix the glitches on Roundhouse? I'll probably be changing my gamertag soon, if I do, I'll post it here. I'll be picking up COD5 and WOW:WotLK on Thursday.

I still had some problems after disabling FFDshow audio stuff, but I added Fallout 3 to my firewall to allow it to do whatever, and I turned off my virus scanner while I play and I have no more problems. I do get some graphics flicker because of the stupid sidebar, so i have to turn that off as well when I play.

I haven't bought it yet, waiting for a used copy: This is my current schedule: Call of Duty 5 or Gears of War 2 (picking only 1), then Fallout 3, then either Fable II or one of the other two depending on which I get first. I'll get either COD5 or Gears2 new first, then I'll pick the others up when I see used copies while I finish whatever I got first. I still have to finish SW:TFU, I'm only on the 3rd level, kids won't ever give me enough free time to play. I'm still working on the COD5 beta right now.

I just got my code today, I never played Resistence 1. If 94medition doesn't want my beta code, I'll either play it or post it here for someone that is willing to give it more time than I can.

Works fine on my Razr V3xx and Razr2. Just need to figure out how to get rid of that AT&T logo...

I was leery of COD5 because of it's WWII background, but since playing the beta for a couple of hours, I am hooked, I've already put away my copy of COD4. Of course, people are already glitching and jumping out of the map. But that's to be expected with any online game. Even without the lack of modern weapons, I still like it. This FPS will tide me over till Halo 3:Recon. I'm gonna pick up Fallout 3 also since I liked Elder Scrolls. Don't forget Gears of War 2 is coming out as well.

Haha, turned it in.... but I did read the novel that takes place before the game...can I get a half nerd badge? I never left the Citadel (yes, I'm that close to the beginning). I was searching for all the workers/repairbots/see I can't even remember what they were called. Maybe I'll give it a shot during Xmas break.

ack, saw you guys on Gears tonight, couldn't join you as my Gears disc is all scratched up and I get booted alot. Waiting for the fall update and hopefully it'll remedy my problem (plan on borrowing a coworkers disc for the hard drive install, he's borrowing my COD4 for the same reason). Then again, Gears 2, COD5, Left 4 Dead, Fable II, etc. are all coming out soon. Got Dead Space here that I haven't unwrapped yet. Never did finish Mass Effect, Ace Combat 6, Dead Rising, or Assassin's Creed yet either. Only games I finished are Halo 3, COD4, Elder Scrolls + expansion.
