"Although every cell of the body requires lecithin, in men, the brain and sexual system compete for this chemical, creating a see-saw effect when one is over-used. For example, overuse of the sexual system depletes brain lecithin resulting in reduced motivation, creativity, decision making capacity and ability to concentrate. In the reverse, overuse of the brain depletes lecithin of the sexual system"

Nice to see you back, Yes Boss!

Not back, yet :-(

The site finally loads on my pokey internet connection!

Should be in San Francisco in the next couple of months so I'm buying lots of cool PS3 games to bring back here for the cold winter. Otherwise just playing a lot of 3DS games. Definitely going to buy some of those new sticks.

Square Triangle...yes. Still in afghanistan, in the middle of nowhere. Stunningly beautiful in the mountains here.

Hey guys, check this out. Sealed Mass Effect CE for the X360, pretty rare around here. I'm gonna sell it for a ton of money when ME3 hits the shelves.

Don't expect much of that stick, ChryZ... I've been using it for 1 year now and it's a pain in the ass :(

No worries, it was inexpensive. Seems pretty easy to mod, the case and its weight is perfect for me.

It's kind of a pain to mod. The cheapy Hori clone buttons are soldered directly to the PCB.

I modded an FS EX2 (which had a similar setup) a few years ago, but these modern sticks with their quick disconnects have spoiled me and I never want to go back to that.

Excuse me, in what sense? I've been wanting to get one but I lack the money to splurge in a "good" one, so I've looked into some and this one was one of them. Does it somehow feel wrong when using it?

Yeah, here's my problems with it:

1. Buttons aren't very good. They're "squishi" and doesn't make that satisfying "click"-noice when you press them. Plinking on it is a nightmare.

2. The actual joystick isn't perfect. It doesn't give the amount of feedback you'd want when you're rotating around the 'edges'.

3. The weight is a problem too. I find myself having to adjust the stick on my lap because often (mostly during Marvel 2 and 3) the stick tends to move while in the heat of battle. It doesn't weigh anything at all and the material underneath isn't something that sticks on the table.

I did however win two (local) fighting tournaments with it. For some reason I got so used to it, I didn't wanna switch to Madcatz at that time.

Wow, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I can see how I could have some concerns with this. Thanks for taking the time. :)

I've had it on tap before (once at Dark Lord Day & also locally). It's good but probably not worth the insane hype that's associated with it. I should be getting another bottle on Friday. I'd trade it for one of those barrel-aged Hunahpu's though!
Would you say KBS is better?

No problem man, hopefully that didn't completely erase your idea of buying it! I'm just simply comparing it to a MadCatz-stick (which costs more, obviously). So if you're not picky with sticks, go right ahead :D

Is Mass Effect CE really worth that much? I have had one sitting on my shelf since launch.
Assuming they are in good condition they go for 200 - 300 on ebay. I was looking at them a while back and that was the going rate so I imagine that might jump a bit when ME3 comes out and nostalgia is on the rise.

That's absolutely crazy. Not that I would sell mine.

Hard to say it's better, just "different". The sweetness from the maple is subtle (at least it was on tap) but adds enough complexity to know it's not KBS. Hopefully they'll do Black Biscuit in bottles and it won't have the crazy hype (one can wish). For how much a bottle of CBS runs I'd rather buy a 4-pack of Bourbon County. I'll have a case+ when that comes out.

Picked up a Dualshock 3 last Thursday so I could run my PSP Go as a tiny Playstation and catch up on a console I've never owned.

I'm having a hard time finding an OFFICIAL TV-out cradle for mine, could you give me directions ? ^^ (I'm in france but I don't mind importing at all)

I got Hunted for free for pre-ordering Rage. I originally ordered the PC version of Rage, but hearing the horror stories about hat version and the fact that it unlocks on steam in 2 days I decided to go for the 360 version, but I got to keep the PC version of Hunted (yay?)

Um damn dude. You have spent a ton of money. Hope all of that was a little staggered over a few months and not just in the last week, cause that's crazy.
