Welcome to nine days ago.

Buttons1990

So that's what happens when you mix 5 hour energy mixed with milk, soy sauce, and apple jelly, and a couple of Advil. You sleep for nine days.

Still sad that he's gone though.

I'm sure a lot of you grew up reading his books. He will be missed. :(

In a couple weeks I'm going to buy an external drive.

I've been looking around, but I want to hear what you guys think.

I want something portable, one that doesn't need it's own power supply. I want to be able to carry it around.

I'm looking at somewhere between 500GB to a 1TB, preferably the latter.

I'm using this for long term storage. Most of the space is going to used to store game trailers and anime I've downloaded, but I'll be storing zip/rar files as well as music, pictures, and some of my gave saves. A bit of everything.

A couple of my friends have suggested buying a laptop hard drive, finding a case for it and using that as an external.

Any suggestions?

This problem just started yesterday.

The printer is connected to the PC using a USB port. There's nothing wrong there.

It's just that as soon as you plug in the printer it beeps constantly.

You normally hear a two quick beeps when the printer is plugged in to let you know that it's recieving power. That's normal.

But then it's constantly beeps for a few seconds. It stops for a about five seconds, then it does it again.

I tried restarting, using System Restore, and unplugging it and/or disconnecting it from my computer. None of that works.

I think it's with the printer itself. As long as the printer is plugged in, it will beep regardless if the printer is connected to the PC or not.

A quick search showed other people dicussing a similar issue but as a result of downloading firmware or the printer not wanting to accept Vista. I never downloaded any firmware and I run XP. Plus those people have a different Dell printer model than I do.

I have a Dell Photo 964 All-in-One Printer.

I know there are some tech savvy people here so maybe someone here can help me. If not, I'll call customer service later since it's around 2:30am where I am.

I haven't seen a lot of movies lately so I never noticed this trend until I read this article, but some of you may have noticed that Hollywood is completely obsessed with using teal and orange in every movie.

What's up with that?

Is there something wrong with using other colors?

I tired of seeing teal, but that's because I've been grinding in the Manipura Waterways in Digital Devil Saga all day.

For platforming, you should get Infamous, but it isn't a platforming game so much as an action game though you still do a lot of platforming.

Between Splinter Cell and Vanquish....well, they're both great games, but Splinter Cell purists will often give Conviction more crap than it deserves.

Splinter Cell Conviction is not a long game. You can finish it in a couple of days.

Both Vanquish and Conviction are about the same length.

I have not played Vanquish, but it's very fast paced and all about the speed and action. Conviction is more about the story.

As for which one to get? The main question to ask yourself is: "Action or story?"

I don't know much about MAG though. Sorry.

[QUOTE="testfactor888"]I don't care if I get hate for this but the one I had the most fun with was Final Fantasy X2AbusedMajesty

that's cool, FFX-2 was a great game

It's not my favorite Final Fantasy, but I enjoyed it a lot. It was a nice change of pace to play a FF game with a light-hearted tone and a game that emphasised exploring and seeing what's changed in the world. I really liked how you could change classes during battle.

I don't understand all the hate for that game, though to get 100%, you have to have a walkthrough handy and that's kinda annoying.

I have all the main games except for Final Fantasy III, IX, and XIII. I have played a fair portion of XIII though.

However, my copies of Finall Fantasy V and VI for the GBA haven't been opened yet even though I've had them for a couple years. (Never had time to play)

So out of the ones I've played and/or beaten, I would have to say Final Fantasy IV was the best.

I usually play games for 4-5 hours at a time. I usually plan to only play for a couple hours, but I often keep playing for two or three times that.

I think the longest game play session I had was close to 20 hours. The only times I ever play for this long is around Christmas when I get a new console or a whole bunch of games. One example is when I got my PS2 around three years ago. I was in high school at the time. Me and my brother got close to 30 games that Christmas since PS2 games are so cheap. Ratchet, Jak, Splinter Cell, Final Fantasy, Dark Cloud...so many games. There was a point I had to really go to the bathroom, but I didnt want to pause the game. I kept playing til I couldn't hold it anymore. Good thing my room was right next to the bathroom or I wouldn't have made it.

What games to get for Christmas?

Out of my original budget of $150, I have $46.44 (after getting Castlevania Lament of Innocence) left. Buying some PS2 games. Which ones should I get?

I looked around for the cheapest overall prices and Amazon has the best deals. I will list the games and their prices. I'm only listing the cheapest prices that also offer free shipping. All games are new and sealed.

Here's what I got:

Persona 4 - $23.15

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - $29.74

Digital Devil Saga 2 - $29.99

Metal Slug Anthology - $21.20

Castlevania Lament of Innocence - $27.90 (just bought off eBay for a total of $23.56)

If I have some money leftover, but not enough to buy a game in the $15+ range, I want to get The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Or I can get a real dirt cheap game like Sly 3 or Jak III. (Games are like $6 each. Not even joking.)
