- Thread starter MarkMan
- Start date
G73 I believe, I'm at work ATM (yes I'm working Xmas weekend it sux I know) so I cant verify the exact model number. I read reviews about problems ppl have had but so far nothing and I've ran everything from WoW to the Witcher on it on max settings. Such a bad ass laptop and it was only $1100 at Best Buy on sale.Smokey said:
Perfect upgrade from my old Toshiba Sattelite.

Roughly 215 CAD. I got them from hmv.co.jp as they have better deals than amazon.co.jp when you buy a good number of CDs together. So yeah, an average of about 30 dollars per cd, japanese music = expensive :/

I won a contest held by Simon & Schuster (book publisher) in November and didn't know it until this showed up on my doorstep yesterday unannounced. This makes my third copy of the book, but that's okay because this one is autographed by the author, my biggest celebrity crush, Hilary Duff. Best Christmas present ever (for me, anyway)! Now I have two of her autographs and one of Selena Gomez, my other celeb crush.

Couple of apologies: I don't have a camera and had to use my cell phone. The lighting in my room is awful right now because I just got back from break, which is also the reason for the state of my room in the background. Had to photoshop the brightness up immensely! Please don't hurt me...

Hehe, something feels wrong about what I just did. Then again, it's Christmas.
Worked like a charm.
It's good to see you back in this threadGameboy415 said:At long last, here are my pickups for the last 4 months!
Long story short, I ended up moving into my late-Grandmother's house, finally got my (HUGE) pension refund from Japan, and got a job. Basically everything's coming up Milhouse! :lol
Face it Tiger..

Good luck with the Doxy. I was in Africa for 3 weeks and the company I worked for was militant about not forgetting your doses. Also remember to keep taking it once you get back. I'm sure you had lots of fun vaccinations as well.

Xmas stuff...already had the iPad but mom got me the $8 wood Crowncase from Amazon that I wanted and it has a great look and feel for around the house...will still use the Apple case out of captivity.
The rubber mats were a nice surprise and a must with all the damn winter salt everywhere.
And Nightmare USA, wow...incredible book if you're into drive-in/exploitation movies from the 60s-80s.

Got this awesome danish Bodum travel mug. It has double walls which keeps the drink warm longer and you can brew coffee with the mug.
I also got Metal Gear Ac!d but you know how that looks

Is that EGM on the iPad? When did that happen? And who do I give my money to?

Actually it's the old Electronic Games magazine from the early 80s. There are CBZs of a few issues floating around out there.
