I'm still pretty sore that Squaresoft & Enix didn't do something like this back in their PS1/PS2 days. I bought EVERY game they released on both consoles, most of them at launch.

I went to Toys R Us today, random visit, and after crying about a $70 Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock I wandered into the R Zone and discovered DJ Hero clearanced for $20 from $70 or $80 for PS3 and 360. I snatched the last PS3 one (zero 360 versions), and there are now a ton of Wii copies.
Also, yes, I snagged two Star Wars figures (to help my sister get the mail-in Boba Fett), and I'm kind of sad that the ESB vintage line for these figures does not include Bespin Han Solo.

Danielsan said:It definitely doesn't look like your Haworthia.
I tried finding its species online and then quickly gave up seeing how many species of Aloe there are. Here's a better picture of it.
Haworthia minima var. minima -- Synonyms Aloe brevis, Aloe erecta, Aloe erecta var. laetivirens, Aloe granata, Aloe granata var. major, Aloe granata var. inor, Aloe margaritifera var. major, Aloe margaritifera var. media, Aloe margaritifera var. minima, Aloe margaritifera var. minor, Aloe minor, Aloe pumila var. beta, Aloe pumila var. gamma or maybe Haworthia minima var. poellinitziana
I'm also reading that Aloe x Haworthia hybrids are not uncommon, so it's highly possible that you've got a crossbreed! The naming system for hybrids is pretty loose so hybrids are often sold under a wide variety of names. That would explain both the tag on your plant and the reason that it looked so familiar to me as a Haworthia
Question solved!
The plant is very good at telling you. Keep pouring until it comes out the bottom, and then stop. You'll water a lot less in winter than in summer, so don't try to pick a certain amount. Like I said, just wait for them to be read to water, and then water deep.
As long as the plant isn't sitting in the water that leaks out for too long (I normally just water any of mine that are double potted like that and then come back ten minutes later and dump out the water in the surrounding pot so the plant isn't sitting in it.

What series is this? Fucking beautiful ride.

Wow. Color me jealous.
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W Power Supply. $50.
Upgraded my PC's 350W power supply to this bad boy in preparation to get an additional hard drive and a GTX 460. I was a bit intimidated when it came time to remove my previous PSU and replacing it with this, but it was easy as pie. I bought this from fellow NeoGaffer, MomoPufflet. It was a steal at that price!
Tamales. Casa de Tamales. $17.
There's this new place that sells these traditional, sweet, and gourmet tamales. Of course, I couldn't help myself to get some. Looking at the second picture of the tamales, starting from the top-left going clockwise: Portobello & Asparagus, Pineapple Coconut, Strawberry Cream, Blueberry & Cream, Creamy Chicken Alfredo, and Jalapeno & Cheeese. My favorites are easily the Creamy Chicken Alfredo (sauce was tangy and oh-so-creamy) and the Blueberry & Cream (tastes like blueberry pancakes!). I didn't care too much for the Pineapple Coconut as they used canned pineapples and the processed shredded coconut meat. Jalapeno & Cheddar was a fairly standard tamale whereas the Portobello & Asparagus had a very subtle flavor but the added topping of guacamole gave it a nice kick. Lastly, the Strawberry Cream received mixed reviews from my family and friends. I, personally, thought it was interesting and wouldn't mind eating it again. Tastes like just like Good Humor's Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar...but, y'know, in tamale form.

Thanks, it seems there are some bits that aren't in the Persona 4 artbook and enough P3 and P3P stuff to save buying those books. I think I'll go ahead and order that instead of the Nier one.

After 8 years of searching I finally tracked down that 'Top Secret' promotional copy of TimeSplitters 2 I've been after.
Turns out it is actually a demo that was given to journalists which is based on an early-ish build of the game, it contains quite a lot of things that were changed before the final release.

I know gun models were changed sometime prior to release (don't the boxart screens portray them?). Were the AI-only moves like diving and such intended to be in the game?

I'm afraid it's not as exciting as you think, this disc seems to be almost the same as a demo that OPM UK later featured on one of their discs._dementia said:
It's a one level demo of the Siberian dam stage, changes to the final game include different weapon models, slightly different HUD and menu, some changes to the level layout and mission objectives and other miscellaneous things that I can no longer remember.
I did an in-depth analysis of all the changes years ago when I used to run a TS site that focused on the changes from the final TS games and that missing TimeSplitters GBA game (similar to Unseen64), but all the files relating to that are in storage so I can't give you the full list of changes.

OMG I'd love to try some of those... especially the Strawberry Cream, looks so delicious...
Too bad that kind of tamales are so freaking rare in México that's pretty much impossible to find them here [how ironic is that? :lol ]
I'll look for the recipe online and suggest my mom to prepare them
