Yeah I'll play.
I don't think Zxv would buy it though because it costs like what, $3.74?
A bit out of his price range.
EDIT: EA what's the news on ur computer?
Also Gords NWN2 is not on sale anymore I don't think.

I'll buy it then, the only thing holding me back was not having anyone to play it with really.
News is "waiting on parts to ship, bl" basically. Apparently the hard drive has faults too and they wanted to replace it and I was like "lolno" so they're going to put a new one in there and lend me the old one for 2 weeks or something so I can get **** off. So pretty much expecting to hear from them again early next week.
Seriously hoping I can use some program to do a drive clone of the old hard drive cause getting **** off sucks the ****.
Edit: NWN2 doesn't have the daily deal anymore but it IS 50% off ($10) until jan 3.

I am heavily considering it, if I do I will be picking it up tomorrow and it will just be a (somewhat) ****/cheap one that I can use for recording/travel/etc.
When/where are you dinnering it up? If I end up going into the city tomorrow (specifically, capitol square) and you're anywhere close I could meet up with you. Though I think the shop closes around 6, maybe a bit earlier or later, not sure with new years hours and stuff.

my uncle and I are going to maroubra for our fav steakhouse. we usually leave at 6:30 to eat at 7pm, we probs will finish about 9pm
tomoz is thursday, are the shops in capitol square open late like the major shoping complex. if so i could meet you after dinner, otherwise it will probably be hard

@EA: ... na, I don't have wireless, but your free to take the ethernet cable; if you’re in to that sort of thing.
One thing about my place, I've only got the one TV and of course my wii, so in order for a proper meet to happen, someone would have to bring another TV and wii.
Also, as usual, there will be bundy.
One other thing, during the day I've got the house to myself, but then Dad'll be back at around 7:30. So... technically you could stay for as long as you want, but you probably don’t want to meet my Dad XD. I don't know, perhaps I'm biased because he's nothing like me. It's up to you. We'd probably have to go out for diner seeing as there's like no food in the house atm.
Yep, that's about it.
Ted I assume you'll get a lift here? (I'd pick you up myself but the lack of a car says no.)

Gords - I checked the website, they close at 6:30. I'll just go in earlier. You're free to come over after dinner if you want tho.
Foxy - Ethernet works, as long as the cable you have reaches anywhere near a TV. Should I just bring my 10m cable?
Also how about this plan:
- Gords drives me from mine, I bring my Wii
- Pick up Scoot
- Pick up Ted + Foxy's TV
- Gatecrash Foxy's
Y/N?

Y with slight changes
but first, questions.
1. how big is foxy's TV, it needs to fit in the boot. maybe EA's TV would be better.
2. foxy, do you have multiple Ethernet cable slots available and is it ok for me to download stuff?
anyways hears the plan
- I will go to Nathaniel's sometime thursday night,
- Nathaniel and I will leave friday morning (with 10m Ethernet cable and possibly TV)
- we drive to scoot's and he puts his resumes back into his house.
- we continue to teds
- we leave teds (possibly with foxy's TV)

That sounds perfect.
You'll probably have to bring that 10m cable. There is only one cable slot... That tv at ted's is hella big, so I'd advise you to bring the smaller one from EA's.
Sounds sick. So is anyone else gonna show up?

foxy is not far from ted (<5min), it might actually be quicker/easier to drop me and scoot off at foxy's before collecting ted+tv, instead of messing around getting my tv out of the house. foxy's tv has to be smaller than that other one we fit into the backseat of your car that one time, anyway.
Also, I may or may not need to leave early (new years thing at grandma's). TBD tho.

Also, no one has said anything about what or when HTC is, other than the fact that I'm being forced to attend.

There was a tentative date in the thread title at one point, I forgot what it was though. Last 2 years though it was mid/late Jan.
Anyway HTC is basically this thing where we take 10+ men and stuff them into a small room for a week and hope they're not sick of video games/each other by the end of it.

Dude, so I've been playing the old pokemon red again recently and it is such an incredible game.
As I said to Ted recently, there's just something about the new pokemon games that I just don't like. It's more than the fact that 95% of new pokemon look like ****. It had been bothering me, so I decided to go back to my roots, play through the old games, and see if they shed any light on this feeling. I think something essential was lost sometime after the gold and silver generation. So, aside from the obvious stuff like the graphics, what changed?
There are a number of 'problems' with the red and blue series. For example, I hate it that you can only hold a limited number of items. I hate it how you need to manually switch boxes otherwise there will be no room for that Articuno once you've finally caught it. I hate it how you can't see what power level or accuracy moves are, let alone a simple description of said moves. Coming from the recent generation, I now hate it how you can only use a TM once. There are other things, but you should be seeing a pattern by now. These are all things that were actually 'fixed' in later generations. I'll come to the point.
Think back to the time that you found out about the missing no glitch. For me, this essentially ruined the game because it became too easy. Easy = bad game. Now the later generations, by constantly 'improving' and making things more convenient for us, have actually slowly ruined the game for me because the games are now too easy. I think this is a big part of why I now don't enjoy the new pokemon games, because they are just too spoon-fed; i.e. perhaps too directed at children. For example, it used to be fairly easy to get lost or not know what to do in the old red game. I remember being stuck for a while on that bit with the button behind the poster XD, plus if you didn't explore enough, what would you do if you didn't go help Bill and get the ticket for the ship? There isn't anyone there to be like, hey so this is what you do and this is how you do it. You've gotta figure everything out yourself, like just what certain moves actually do and if they are more powerful than this other move and with experience estimate just how accurate they actually are. The new generations are worse because they've been made easier/more convenient and are no longer a challenge or a mystery. Oh, and Gary is a d***, you know, the way rivals are supposed to be.
