I went to Arby's a lot as a kid, but eventually got tired of their roast beef.
But I really want poutine now. Any good places in Vancouver?
There's a $10 off $50 code you can use on the Toys R Us website which brings it down to $60 plus tax for both ($30 each).
I forgot what the code is but it's related to Cineplex.
The code also means you can get MK8 or Smash for $45, but you need $50 for free shipping.

I actually prefer shredded, too. Melts better and is a more even spread.

The Disney Infinity Spider-man set is actually cheaper on amazon.ca right now. 21.99$ I was tempted to get it for me and my son, but he hasn't finished the Avengers or GOTG yet... will wait for another sale
and play what we have for him
Ok then. You'll have to drive an hour and a half towards Montréal for a visit to Drummondville, more precisely at Le Roy Jucep. Your opinion might change, even about the cheese.
Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive is fantastic. Fritz on Davie & Granville have poutine as well but I've only ever gone there for their cone of fries.
This seems like some just-missed cheese grater joke. (i.e: I have no idea if it was intentional)
So basically, eat it until I die?
Is La Belle Patate still around? (On Davie and Jervis, in the West End.) I used to go there all the time and it was great. Cheap, too, with a bunch of weird kinds. Go Habs.
Hey all --
Maybe you can help me... I really want to get a new PC monitor (144hz), but I'm a little in the dark about them. I was looking at the 24" BenQ monitors from NCIX, but my main concern is.. will I really notice a difference between 6- / 144hz, especially if I play games at fps lower than 144? (Say I play a game at 30-60 fps, would that still be smoother on a 144hz screen compared to a 60hz?)
Any recommendations you guys can make for 144hz screens? I'd be buying in Vancouver, so probably something from NCIX? Thanks

I'll admit, I prefer shredded over curds in my poo-teen. I had a friend who would dump a tonne of vinegar into his, I refused to defile myself to that point. All this talk has gotten me craving poutine now, I'm thinking I might attempt homemade.

I don't think there is any real benefit to using a 144Hz monitor when you don't plan to run anything above 60Hz. Here is a "blog" http://www.blurbusters.com/ that kind of has some creative ideas about what you can get out of one.
But unless you are planning to do backlight strobing or actually run things above 60 FPS, then its probably better to just get a VA panel monitor in the same range.

And even cheaper @ EB Games. It's $19.99 there. I posted it thrice on GameDealsCanada as I stumbled across incrementally cheaper deals.
Yes it is and still my favourite spot.
I'm assuming these are last gen only?
Probably $14.99 and under. Are any next gen games $14.99 used yet?

I remember being genuinely surprised by KFC's poutine. Used to eat it all the time when I was back at uni.
Also, Amazon's had Legend of Zelda: ALBW listed as out of stock for a few months now, is the game out of print? Might have to swing by EB tomorrow to see if they have any copies.
Putty Squad, maybe. But no one deserves that kind of punishment.

Nice, what course?
My gf is really into Smoke's Poutinerie (sp?), might be just an ontario thing.

Smoke's is hit or miss. Either you enjoy the meal and come back or feel miserable and never return. Those are the only opinions you'll ever hear.

You'll get less screen tearing with a 144hz screen if you play at lower framerates and don't want to use vsync. Your desktop will be noticeably smoother at 144hz too. Moving your mouse and windows around feels good. That's all I can come up with.

That's just fresh unsalted cheddar. The squishy plastic feel goes away after 12 hours in the fridge. That's why they sell curds at room temperature in grocery stores. So, if it feels like plastic you know it was made the same day.
Well it's no longer just niche titles hitting the high note....
Battlefront is $79.99
So quick to jack everything up when the dollar went south, with the dollar seemingly starting to bounce back how long before we get re-adjusted back down you think?
Although considering even when the dollar was strong we still got screwed on book prices, I am assuming this is our new standard no matter what the dollar does.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
E. Poutine
Fuck these Harper prices. I'll spend all my disposable income on poutine instead.
I bet it will be B.

There's no way it's not C or D. This is ACTIVISION we're talking about. I mean, unless they charge MORE than $84.99, I'd believe that too.
$89.99?
Battlefront is $70 CAD, $3 cheaper than buying at $60 USD and converting to CAD. Alternatively, pre-ordering the online game code for Origin through Amazon US would yield a cheaper price from not having to deal with HST.
edit: this will probably be the case with BLOPS3 too unless Steam prevents you from redeeming US codes.

I thought they didn't take Canadian credit cards. Gonna check this out.
They do, you just need a US billing address. Doesn't matter what it is though.
Battlefront will be part of the E3 buy 3 promos that always happen. Probably best to wait for those before pre-ordering imo.
