  1. First 3 sets done on medium...starting to pick up in difficulty which is nice. I agree that the lack of co-op career is a drag...don't know why you would remove it from the game but the multi-player does track the co-op it appears. I've not hit any battles yet so I don't know if they exist. All in all it was just nice to get some new songs to try.
  2. Got it...2 songs done...good so far.
  3. Depends on your spend limit. I've been very happy with my hoover wind tunnels (on my 2nd now) but then I've never owned a dyson. I think my sister has one...the pet hair model...and they swear by it with the dog they had...course the thing was like 500 bucks

    Distraught

    Wow...that took my breath away reading that article. My thoughts certainly go out to you and their families. I can't even imagine.
  5. From my research they are all about the same. Even the same complaints & praises on each:) I researched the Garmin, TomTom and Magellan. I ended up with the Magellan cause I got the 4250 for 300 bucks at costco (the 4000 was 400 at Best Buy). I liked the TomTom cause I could get Mr T's voice to tell me "You missed the turn fool!!!" but I couldn't pass up the deal. So far it's good for what it does. I have only used it on one real trip thus far...going to NY in July to use it again. What I noticed (and I think this is going to be consistent in all of them). When I selected to take the "shortest route" to my sisters near Nashville, it took me literally...next thing I know I'm on this windy 2 lane road with no lines stopping for deer while the sun is setting. Ok, there is no "shortest route using intelligent roads" option. The good of that is I just rerouted on fastest time and it took me right to the highway. On the way back I learned to use the trip planner and set more points so it would take me point to point as I wanted to go instead of all or nothing on it's calculations. I do like the speed of the Magellan for recalculating if you deviate from the current route. Usually within 15 or 30 seconds it's redone the work. Basically my moral to the above is you can't just get in the car to go somewhere you don't know how to get to and expect it to be perfect...there is some planning...however, to get you out of an odd spot...works awesome. If I could ask for 1 thing (and this may be available on some models) it would be to be able to create a trip on the PC and then download it to the GPS. Mouse would be much faster than the touch screen. Oh, and my GPS has hung up on me 2 times...once when I was messing with the volume while it was trying to recalculate...I don't play with settings while the car is moving anymore (no, I wasn't driving at the time). I forget the other lockup but it was along the same lines...too many things happening for it to handle.
  6. You are on your computer and you get a connect popup to his box? If so then you are most likely trying to use a resource on his box...either a drive or a printer. Remove this mapping and you should not be prompted anymore.
  7. why do none of you respond to me?
  8. What if it hits all 40,000 of them at the same time? It could cover the earth:)

    Psoriasis

    My sister has bad Psoriasis. She gets perscription stuff from her dermitologist and also has a sun bed thing that she uses. Back when it first started for her my dad built her a sun box out of plywood and sun lamps...worked for a while but now she has a nice one she bought. So, I guess sun does help. She has never mentioned the gluten thing and her husband has celiac disease so he always eats gluten free. I may mention this to her though & see if she has heard about it. Sure would be easy for her to try that since she knows what to do:)
  10. Interesting convo there...I don't let my daughter (who is 9) even watch violent games. I do have a slightly different opinion than you ConGregation...I feel it's less of an issue for a kid to be running around shooting demons & monsters because it's easier to seperate that in real life...but every child is different. My nephews have been playing games like this all their lives. Only shooter my daughter plays is Lego Star Wars:)
  11. I like the Bud Light ones..."Wheel Sucks"...LOL Gonna have to go watch them all again. http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnatio...iicommercials08 Oh, and the breathing fire one...had me LOLing.
  12. Great game...I was rooting for the Giants though expecting, and half hoping, the pats would win. Yea, I didn't want them to win because I don't like them but it would have been cool to see a team go 19-0. Well, gratz to the Giants & their fans!!! Now, on to the real reason for the game...were those great commercials or what? I think the Bud Light ones were best..."wheel sucks" LOL
  13. I've had DirectTV for at least 10 years now. I've been very happy with it. I probably notice an outage due to weather about 3 times a year but it's brief...maybe a minute or two at most. I think my internet goes out more than that. I just have Total Choice (I believe) and no HD at this time. I do use the DVR/TIVO units and love them. I guess my only complaint is the 5 bucks a room they charge after the first room. Very 1980's cable to me. So, I only have 2 rooms. Course my reasoning for staying with DTV for 10 years is 100% NFL Sunday Ticket. I'd still probably be with DTV but I might have actually considered changing to something else.
  14. We just hacked Santa's GPS and he is going to be here in a minute...better get to bed quick if your in this area;)
  15. Are you certain she didn't hit the car to the right...thus reducing her speed at an unsafe rate causing you to hit her in the rear? hehe...I do know when a 3 car rear end happens they always ask the front driver if they felt 1 hit or 2...did the cop ask the car to the right this question? I'm glad your ok and it sucks to have to "work the system" but if you don't you will be screwed. Wouldn't it be nice if you could say "Yup...my fault, I'll pay damages" without being sued for a million bucks? But then that only happens in my perfect world and the doctors said I can't live there anymore
  16. I've noticed the smell of electronics before I think...might just be the dust aspect. Either way...dude, your a geek if you like the smell of computers;)

    Heroes!!

    Yea, last night's hooked me a bit more. I think Peter's energy blast was from...forget the name...the guy who was radioactive. I also don't recall Peter ever being next to Mica's father to get that phasing ability...perhaps he doesn't absorb them, rather he has all those powers...time will tell. Strength from Jessica? I'll be watching again next week...though I have to TIVO since it's on during MNF:)
  18. I believe the dog now needs to be tested for rabies...I would bet that is a good place to start. I'd guess that would be at least a PITA for the owners:) Sorry bout the hand man. Looks like it hurt. I'd be tinkled...and in pain.

    Heroes!!

    Nice mookie...I was gonna say they post the latest episode on the website. I watched it last night...still not sure if I love it or think it's dumb...LOL...one of those things where I'll watch it a few more weeks before I decide. Oh, it's dumb if I've already figured out all the plot lines but based on last year that would not be the case:)
  20. If you have an HH Gregg around you I'd suggest checking them out. I've bought 2 big TV's, a fridge and a washer dryer from them and have been very happy. I think they are just in the Cincinnati area though. Far as the same as cash...great deal if you are good about making the payments. Generally I try to have enough cash in the bank to cover any same as cash purchases I make just to be sure. You do know that if you fail to pay on time you are charged the full year of interest on the initial loan amount right? Also, I've been told that you can use the same as cash as a barganing chip to get things cheaper if you pay for it outright. I'm not good at negociating so I've never done that.

    Kidney Stone

    Interesting...my wifes doctor said the beer would cause the stones and she should drink water between them.
  22. Gratz g00t!!! I was wondering where you'd been the past 9 months;)
  23. Hehe...no matter how much things change they always stay the same...ZD being banned...Someone leaving I think the problem with the hard line of Admins comes from the desire to have some enjoyment. I remember the BobLee (RIP) school of adminning. Ban first, ask questions later. I asked him about it and his philosophy was that he was there to play. He didn't have time to play and deal with all the crud from players. The rules are simple...follow them. If you got out of hand, he'd ban ya. I didn't really understand this till later on when I was doing more admin for CsLs and then DOH. You get a couple punks and your night is shot trying to deal with it. It's easy to look at it and say "That one guy was just being a little bit of a jerk and you should have had more patience with him" but then when that happens 10, 20 times a night your 2 or 3 hours of playing have just been wasted dealing with those little things. These are admins who are spending hard earned money on a server to play on...not to babyset on. Also, keep in mind that when you have 1 jerk your impacting 24 or more other players...so fair for that one guy is unfair for the rest. Never been banned, never will...cause I follow the rules and have respect for others. Everyone does that & the discussion about how to admin doesn't need to happen.

    T101

    If you have Direct TV you can flip to T101 (channel's 101 and 334 on my system) and watch the Championship Gaming Series. They play CS:S, FIFA07, DOA4 and PGR. It's pretty cool but I suggest using the TIVO so you can skip the hour of junk in the 90 minute show.
