A flaw that, if ignored, damages your hardware. We're arguing over semantics here, fact of the matter is that you shouldn't have to accept (or have to remember to put a cloth in there to protect the screen... remind me, what's one the main benefits of a clamshell design?) if it's an acknowledged design flaw.FTH said:

This ugly, yet oddly adorable, little guy was too cool to pass up at a shithole swap meet I went to, especially for a mere 50 cents:

New Amp and front speakers to replace my old set
Old set - HK AVR 240 and Thiels CS 1.5s. both died in the space of a week
New Set - Denon AVR 1911 and JBL ES 100 fronts
Sound is good. loud, punchy, great midrange and nice top end as well. havent calibrated it properly but the ES100's give so much presence in the room. really like it. brought an instant smile to my face cranking up cloverfield and Batman: The Dark Knight.

Those of you in here that would know. Do you think there is any difference between the old phat ps3 and the slim when it comes to display and Blu Ray picture quality? It's a really dumb question, but somebody is willing to sell me an old one for very cheap. I want to jump on it. Just need to know a few little details.

They've closed the store I believe. Until they can fill all the orders from the sale last month.
Hehe, my stuff finally arrived yesterday as well. I also got those figures and the poster. Look really awesome. Also got a signed ToMI poster, 5 pack poster set of S&M, S&M buttons, and a ToMI art pack. Already had a lot of mech on the store, such as the homestar figures, soundtracks etc.Sourtreats said:I placed this order with Telltale Games Start of June. Finally arrived today.
My Sam & Max Symbiotes figures. I had orded some Homestar runner ones but I only just found out they were cancelled.
This was meant to be a father day present for my dad, he introduced me to Sam & Max when I was a kid with Sam & Max Road Rage. Awesome game. Poster is signed, just need to get a frame for it now.
(Didn't bother doing photos of the figures and other poster since you can already see them above, mine look no different)
I was missing the BttF Card Game though, which on my invoice says it was cancelled.

The Homestar figures are pretty nice, tiny, bit nice. Shame you didn't receive them. I've sent them an email regarding the missing item, going to see what they say, as I've not received any refund for the cancelled item(Not that I care a lot about £4ish). Not expecting a reply for a while though, considering how iffy their customer support has been during the sale and warehouse moving.Sourtreats said:
I believe Steve Purcell is also at Comic Con for signings as well at the moment. So yeah, I don't doubt it lol. Probably nice seeing fan reactions though while signing.

I used to have one of the family games computer things in one of my cabs. Not too bad, the emulation isn't perfect, but pretty close. Swapped it out for a dreamcast instead.
Or maybe the TV is just to small for it's surrounding. I already have problems with my 40'zoll one playing games.
Never got to play the GC games, still need to get Yakuza 1 for the collection and never played through Blue Dragon and Odin Sphere.
Love his artwork, wish I could have gone to his exhibit.

you mind giving a write up of what you like about it? its my first denon amp and its been a week and i have mixed feelings on it. i went from a harmon kardon unit which even tho it got worse reviews i actually think i may have preferred the sound more..

A few pickups...
First, a spare Game Boy Advance SP, i got it for around 3$, so thats pretty cool. I am on a tight budget, so i can live with the scratches as long as it is cheap.
And now my controversial pickup. Keep in mind that i am not a Nazi, nor am i a racist, but i have a wierd fetish for 3. Reich stuff, and now i finally got a genuine WW2 memorabilia. I think it is creepy, disgusting and fascinating at the same time.

WTF Junior!?!
Speevy said:
Haha, i am NOT a Nazi, i think i made that pretty clear in my post. This is more like a collectors item. I know it is bizarre, but maybe that is why i am fascinated by it. It is gonna be my only Nazi item, so it is not like my apartment is full of that shit
I love old stuff with history, and this must have history behind it

We are pretty sensitive when it comes to the past of our country. And i don't think posting Nazi symbols in a gaming forum is appropriate.
Benjamin1981 said:
I can take it down if it is too much, but again, it is a pickup not just a random Nazi symbol. It isn't gaming ofcourse, but i thought it might fly since other people post things that arent gaming related.
Edit - I know that Germans are sensitive to this stuff, but it is not just your history, we where occupied by the Nazi regime

Why should you take it down?LulaBrasi said:
LulaBrasi said:No fucking way that thing is EVER getting on my chest, i do have a little common sense
And i hope that people can understand that it is bought for it's historical value and not for it's message (which i do find disgusting).
Haha just kidding.
Just make sure that someone close to you know about your little "interest". So your friends and family don't mistake you for some closet nazi if you, god forbid, wind up dead and they sort through your stuff.
