Toronto-Age |OT3| Going Off the Rails on a Gravy Train

Was anyone crazy enough to camp out at one of three H&Ms (Eaton Centre, Yonge and Bloor, and Yorkdale) for the Alexander Wang collection? I was thinking of going and maybe buying a new backpack or a sweater but fuck, lines were too much.

Completely forgot about it. I'm like 5 minutes away from Bloor H&M, so I'll check it out later.

OK, I took a look at the collection on the GQ site... stuff looks terrible. Alexander Wang stuff shouldn't have WANG plastered all over the item.

I was at the Eaton Centre yesterday afternoon. I didn't see any lineups at H&M.

I saw them on H&M's website, really not my style.

On a related note, I'm hesitant to buy henleys from them, because it looks flimsy and wouldn't last more than a few washes.
 
What was this Ubisoft event? I heard something was happening in Toronto this past weekend (Sat I think) but it sounds like there was an event last night? AC:Unity related?

Who the fuck is Alexander Wang?

#NotIntoFashion

My BF kind of is and he has no idea either.
 
Anyone still need/want a Pokémon ORAS demo download code? They've been handing them out like candy so pretty much everyone who hangs out in Nintendo-related threads has one already...

Pretty neat. Some people are buying stuff just to flip it later so it's kind of like the release of new Jordans but for fashionistas lol. When they did the Versace sale it was even crazier.

Wang is the creative director of Balenciaga now. This was for his own line.

The signal system is pretty old by the way

Eh, they can upgrade it. OR, since people will bring up money, cut costs in other areas

Or as EM ranted:
Welcome to a transit system that has no funding from @pmharper or @Kathleen_Wynne, so they recoup losses from us. #topoli
And let's not forget the TTC union that fights automation and upgrades of its system because hours might be cut, or something
And let's not forget PRESTO mess. I mean, we could have adopted a system that already worked, but just HAD to build our own
Same reason Toronto doesn't have online voting, but Markham does. They had to build their own system instead of adopting one
ecause I'm guessing those contracts bring plenty of incentives, and cushy contracts for friends.
 
Jesus Christ part duex,

At this rate, with all the ridiculous prices, I might actually move out of Toronto. Shit is insane.

Fuck it, might just rent this farmhouse in Milton I am looking at. Has fucking 100 rooms with a sprawling green field next to it. You can all come for the meetups there. Kuro can stay in the barn.

Do you have two sticks of RAM? Try taking each out and see if the computer works with just one of the two in. Might have a bad stick.

So I just tried this now that I had time. Took out one RAM card, Windows started up normally and launched the repair program and brought me to my desktop just fine.
Shut down the computer, put the RAM card back in, and now the computer is running fine again.

I don't know what I did exactly, but it worked. Thanks for the help guys!

In the future, if you're desperate, Canada Computers does computer repair.

Never gone to Canada Computers myself, but I'll keep that in mind.

Canada Computers is horrible. DO NOT GO THERE! A friend of mine used to work at one of their stores and they did not give a fuck at all lol. The stories he told me would make you wonder how they're still in business. Better off going to a random computer shop in Chinatown.

I thought Canada Computers WAS a random computer shop in Chinatown. That's how I always treated it.

that is accurate

still, they have good deals sometimes. if you're not buying something where customer service is a necessity, then they're not bad.

They're one of the biggest chains in Toronto next to NCIX.

There are three of them on like the same block on College west of Spadina lol
 
CC has a huge store up in Markham and it's probably better than TigerDirect (which is more consumer electronics than computer parts anyway). But I wouldn't actually order computer parts at CC over NCIX, since last I checked CC's replacement policy is very fucking short, like 2 weeks over ~1 month with NCIX.

Oh yeah, I totally blanked on that.
Every time I needed to upgrade my PC like, a decade ago, I'd pick and choose from the PC chop shops at College and Spadina - CanComps was just one of those guys.
It's been ages since I've upgraded though.

On one hand, you're still here :D

On the other hand, you're still here >=[

Edit: just passed by the newest Kinton ramen near empress walk. Crowded and line ups outside D:
 
The Raptors need to keep the purple jersey as an alternate.

They should bring purple back into the colour scheme in general.

Kuro = dark can also refer to black people. Your woman is a destroyer of black

No spoilers but Interstellar is worth a watch. That's all I'll say.

I loved Interstellar :D
But I love everything space...

But fuck I loved Interstellar :D

The world needs more goddamn space movies/games/everything space.

Kinda funny you mentioned TigerDirect cause I used to work there. Based on my experience, there isn't much of a difference between both stores loool. Their employee discounts are awesome though.

Anyone catch the Pink Ranger busking at Dundas Square today? My facebook feed is blowing up with photos/vids of her. It's been 20 years since the power rangers and she still looks good.
 
Your GF got a cute boot mr.rager, though I'm dying at all those shirts and hats that scream WANG + the fact that people lined up in the cold new Jordans style for them.

Last movie I saw in theatres was Gravity.
Next one is Interstellar, nuff said.

I want more high tension space movies like Gravity tho, or even a fun one that feels like Space Brothers. (but I didn't like the live action movie of that...)

was anyone around for this?

I saw it on IMAX and it was glorious.

Hell, I'd say it's good enough to get the VIP seats ahead of time so you don't have to line up 40 min beforehand.
Click to expand...

I did a bit of research on it, and seems like it might even be worth making the trek down to Mississauga to see it in 70mm IMAX. Apparently the IMAX cinemas in Vaughan and North York aren't legit or something.

The trouble is convincing someone to go to Mississauga with me :lol I don't normally have a problem with seeing movies alone but this one is long as hell and the drive will be boring.
