There can and should be at some point! There are people playing, so join 'em! I played a few games and lost them, so I'll keep holding that L until next time.
Here we go again. Meetup thread up, general idea seems to be the week of November 11th/12th (over two weeks from now). Vote on a date here! Picking a place, I kinda wanna see Good Game bar since the rec. from last time

This will be me for the next couple of months if I sleep without socks on.

I would die with socks on. I sleep with my feet outside of the covers most of the time.

Damn, I still keep my window open.

You shut your mouth! You don't know how good you have it...!
If it's anything like when I was there last time in Nov, it'll get chilly soon enough.
You guys can add me on battlenet

We'll try to get an all TO GAF team up at least once. And then I can rage at all of you Hanjo mains.
Depends on your other layers. I wore the regular heattech under a 'Fall' jacket (well more like Spring/Summer jacket) this past week and felt chilly but switched to the 'extra warm' heattech and felt fine. It's only going to get colder so I'll be buying more of the extra warm when next on sale. NB: heattech is not allowed for returns in Canada. And the store didn't have my size to try on (and still wouldn't open a pack after I waited 15 minutes in line for the changing room) which pissed me off
Wow. So, you can't return it. What's the size like? Is it comparable to Old Navy?
I bought some size L HeatTech (reg and extra warm) this weekend. I'll open it up and take some pics of it or something.
I bought the $5 socks and damn are they comfy and warm. Perfect for the weather. Got the $7 (or was it $9?) HT socks too, but they're probably too warm for right now.
About the returns: I asked if still-sealed HT packages could be returned (as well as still-packaged socks) and I got a hard "no" from two different sales reps. That's pretty crazy, IMO, considering that the packages would be very difficult to pass off as unopened.

Because 2 soultron posts back to back are better than editing an old one:
I am finally moving next week. What's the best internet plan I can grab, considering things like Up/Down and customer service? I'm near Bloor-Yonge station.
I'd like to spend no more than $80/month, if possible. I download a few AAA games (~40GB) every month, but I could shift to scheduling downloads to overnight if that helps with lower caps.
I've been thinking about TekSavvy but I'd love to hear some of your experiences with them first, if possible.

If you don't mind Rogers, they have the 100 down/ 10 up unlimited for $64.99 on a 2 year term.

Generally low hassle with Teksavvy. I haven't had a big issue with them in awhile. There are outages and while they may be Rogers' fault, Rogers makes sure to service lines that affect Rogers first. Wait times for support and people coming to do any installs can be a pain in the ass. Other than that, it's been pretty smooth so far. I have gone over my 400gb limit a few times (and they charge now :'( ) but it's not every month.

Yeah, I am also quite happy with Teksavvy although I am using their DSL service, which is from Bell. Phone support takes a very long time, but the open hours iirc are very long. Online chat support was also quite easy.
I have also gone over my cap but at least they don't charge too much for over use. It's also very handy that they send me email notifications when you hit milestones (e.g. 50%, 75%, etc).
Unfortunately the CRTC allows Robelus to charge excessive rates to Teksavvy and others so they really aren't that much cheaper.
Maybe you'll get lucky and your specific speed, data cap, and price needs will fit nicely with a specific package a reseller offers. Otherwise everything will be in the same ball park, speed, price and cap wise.

Even though I know I am pretty much giving money to Rogers / Bell, I prefer to do it through Teksavvy. There are if other options that don't end up the same.
Similar for phone service. I'm suffering through WIND data, just as a point to not support the oligopoly. I know it makes no fucking difference in the end, but I can feel slightly better about myself.

LTE soon, fellow sufferer.
I used Teksavvy for 4 years before switching to Fido this year. Never had any major issues except a few outages that lasted a few hours each time. I even continued using them when I made the move to my condo. Speeds were as advertised at both locations. Honestly I would have stayed if not for a bundle deal along with cellular I got with Fido that saves me about 10 a month for similar speed with Teksavvy (28Mbps vs 30 Mbps, both unlimited)
Don't wear old navy so have no clue

I used TekSavvy happily for years. I switched to Bell (not happy) then Vmedia (happy with the cable, not with the IPTV then but I hear that's improved) and then to Rogers. Rogers offers the fastest speeds and they've restricted Teksavvy and the rest from offering those (higher access fees, not approving modems etc). Combined with the aggressive Rogers promos I can get unlimited 250/20 for a similar price as Teksavvy's restricted 100/10. I've been waiting for the CRTC to sort it out so I'll switch back to TekSavvy. I wouldn't mind paying more to support an independent but really don't want a drop speed by 80% to do. I mean you can't even get 150/10 on TekSavvy any more wtf. RobBers have really fucked up competition in Canada

I'd say just leave earlier, but with the TTC that means you can get there super early or 15 mins late. It's generally reliable...except when it's not...
Speaking of jobs, passed 2nd interview and asked for references. Almost done, I hope!
Shots next meetup!

Bah I hate those trial runs. I had one once and asked for materials or lesson plans beforehand. Oh don't worry, the teacher that is sick will give those to you. I didn't get jack fucking shit so I went in completely unprepared and didn't get called back.
Damn that sucks. It almost feels as if they are leading you on. I once had one where they paid my travel and everything and gave me the whole tour, just to find out that they hired somebody else later.
Good luck on your next one!

Hi Toronto-GAF.
How easy is it and what it the best way to get tickets for a Toronto Raptors game.
I live in the UK and will be in Toronto end of November/start Dec.
