or i buy one gold card for $36

Logitech G930. ****'s tight yo.

I guess that's a good purchase if you don't care about sound quality whatsoever.

Edit: haha, I didn't notice they're the wireless version. Even better. Did it ever occur to you to buy a real headset with that money? Something that, you know, won't break, distort, run out of battery power, sound like crap, and cost about 4x as much as its internals are worth?

Edit 2: But for reals, not even to bash, do you actually do product research before you buy something? Or do you just buy whatever is expensive and hope it works out?

Phone decided to stop playing nice, so I decided to use my upgrade. RAZR M, *****ES

Little bit of new dishware, some loose-leaf lapsang souchong, and Fritz the Money Tree.

$13 at home depot makes the baddest ass (badassest?) shower head for my apartment.

Very cool.

See Ragna? This is how you make good use of your money.

Does each tube rotate? I'd try and get the outer ones to converge somewhat.

Full rotation at each joint. I have them set to converge to an area about equal to that of the top of my head so it blasts the shampoo right out in no time without hardly having to move my head around. It doesn't converge too much though because I like the full coverage on my back.

already have sennheiser hd 595's for that purpose. still love the new wireless headset as it's better for gaming. mic is great. don't have to take them off when i go walk to my sub zero for a cold one. yeah, it's good to have money, CM, no lie.



you're not still living in your mother's basement... are you? grow up dude. no offense, i would not be caught dead with that ghetto thing in my bathroom.

Question: when you go into finance, do you forget how to spend money wisely, or is that something they ingrain into you? I still think it's amusing that you believe because someone doesn't spend money like an idiot, that they have no money at all.

Besides, here's the amusing thing:

1. The mic /isn't/ great. It's a 5 dollar electret mic that you can find in any of Logitech's ****. You'd probably know this if you didn't just buy the first thing that sprung to mind.
2. I find the idea of you walking around the house with those things hilarious.
3. You bought a wireless headset just because you're too lazy to take off your headphones. You spent $100 just because of that. You sacrificed significant audio quality, reliability, and having to deal with batteries all the time, just because slipping something off your head is too challenging. So not only did you blow money, but you didn't even realize that it's actually more of a pain in the ass than simply taking headphones off your head. Way to go.
4. "Better for gaming" is a sentiment you hold only because it's called a gaming headset. It has no actual functionality that makes it better for gaming (in fact, thanks to it being wireless, it's pretty much guaranteed to be worse for gaming).
5. It apparently never even occurred to you to just buy a good mic.



He's not trying to win an interior design award, genius. He made something because he wanted to, and he is happy with what he made. You're trying to insult him because he actually had some creativity. Go you, buddy.

Matty....shhhh. You're going to ruin it for me for when I make the same thing out of chrome plated steel and charge people like ragna $1000 for it.

CM, did it ever occur to you that ragna's priorities for what product to choose are not the same as yours? Each point you made is a compromise away from what he already chose. Why is it a problem if he chooses to spend $100 to not have any wires? Maybe he doesn't like the hassle of a discrete mic in addition to his headphones?

Your post serves absolutely no purpose other than to attempt to prove how much more knowledgeable you are and downplay what you think is ragna's ability to research products. Seriously, **** off and find something better to do.

Equally, ragna's jab at Dash is just another painfully obvious incident of ragna insulting someone else so he can feel better the artificial criteria he uses to determine his own self worth. Even if dash did live in his mother's basement, what would be so wrong about it? Who does he harm? Absolutely no one, but ragna uses things like money, career, and stereotypical social status to determine worth. Which is pretty much the dumbest thing ever, and is of the many reasons that ragna is a massive ****ing tool.

Since that's the basis of the post, yes?


Not only is it not a hassle, there's also about 50 other solutions that even my 10 year old nephew could come up with.



So wait, are you suggesting that ragna can't Google? Even I give him more credit than that, Emon. And "****" off yerself, kthx. It's something amusing to do with a "massive ****ing tool".

come on now this isn't the "bash ragna every time he buys ****" thread

and i got this

Pro fridge, not gonna lie.

Cool story bro. Unfortunately anything you get from a manufacturer in that size is going to be super-expensive special order ceiling-mount hardware, and anything else comparable to it like multi-jet would be a fairly major renovation. Depending on his lease he might not be allowed to do anything. And he spent a few bucks and five minutes with a drill press to try out something that normally costs you thousands.

I think if he'd made parts of it clear and added painfully bright blue LEDs, he'd have won the forum over. Everyone would be lining up to come play Crysis in his shower.

Hey, I never said I was done with it!

Aren't those things generally used to determine people's worth, anyway? Whether it's fair or not, and whether it's subliminal or not (since, obviously, not everyone is aware of doing that at all), it seems pretty integral to our social constructs.

Haters gonna hate

Lemme know when it actually lets you play, Zan.

Ugh, seriously. I pointed this out to someone that bought it yesterday, and their response was just "I don't care, it doesn't bother me." Today I've seen them *****ing repeatedly about not being able to play it...

Stop giving money to these ******* and encouraging this ****.

Anybody who buys an EA game deserves what's coming to them.

I never felt all that strong about this whole boycotting thing, but with all these Steam sales, I have so many alternatives, that it doesn't take much to make me pass on a game. Especially if it's not on Steam. I hate having to use multiple software repositories. I wish all my software could be on Steam.

I don't consider it "boycotting". I consider it not paying money for a ****ty service, because sadly that's what you're paying for with these types of games, the service that allows you to play the game. The game may be awesome, but if the service is horrible, it's not worth my money.

I'm actually boycotting EA.

Lots of people are boycotting EA, so many that their PR people actually planted stories a couple of years ago to tie EA boycotting with homophobia.

EA is terrible.

Day number 2 of trying. So far, I've played the tutorial twice. And I keep getting 'unable to connect to server' errors. The menu is nice

If it makes you feel better, apparently getting into the game is worse, as it has a tendency to kick you back out, and in the process destroy lots of work you've done. Or in some cases, actually corrupt the city entirely, so you have to delete it.

But at least your corrupted city is backed up in the cloud, right?

Quantum Thief was a great read. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in distant future science fiction, though it gets muddier towards the end. Couldn't really get past the first 2 or 3 pages of Embassytown, though.

All I can think of is that JLee bought a very similar house to Walter White's.

I think I have every one of Mieville's fiction works. Haven't started Embassytown yet but I just finished The City and the City which was an enjoyable jaunt through noir detective story.

If you like speculative high-tech scifi, Iain M Banks is a joy to read.

Update: EA promises refunds to affected customers, doesn't honor promise.



plz no more EA products in recent purchases thread, tia

I'll spend my money on whatever I want and post whatever purchase I make in this thread whether you like it or not. Actually I'm going to do it just in hopes that it annoys you a little bit each day. TIC

Good work on regurgitating reddit (From 3 days ago). They will honor refunds [posted on their facebook and twitter], that rep is a ****ing idiot. Simple solution, stop chat, start new chat or just call them..

So ****ing sue me because I wanted to buy a ****ing Maxis simcity game dammit...

Well excuse us for thinking that you posted about it because you wanted our sympathy, like a normal person.

And now Amazon has pulled their digital sales of the game due to numerous customer complaints. Yup, this game launch is one royal cluster****.

stop buying from ea so that things get better instead of proving you are willing to take it up the ass and pay for it, thus making it worse.
