We had a couple guildies pull a Leroy just as we were calling it a night for our Molten Core raid ;) Nothing like having the raid party just chilling in the tunnel to Baron Geddon and Shazzrah's cave and then hearing someone yell out "Leeeeeeeeeroooyyyyy" on teamspeak. 3 lava packs, Geddon and...

I have a pair of black Half Jackets and love them. It did take a few weeks for them to break in and stop giving me headaches (tight fit). Still thinking about trying out the ice iridium lenses...

I bought a 300d around two months ago and have been loving it ever since. So far for gear, I have: RS60-E3 Shutter release cable Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 backpack 256MB Sandisk Extreme CF card 512MB Sandisk regular CF card (newer model, so decently fast) For glass: EF-S 18-55mm kit...

Hrmmm the regent power filters are basically the penguin biowheel models without the biowheel...so they don't really do a lot of biological filtration. I'd switch to something that would do a better job...or soup up the filter you have. I have one of the aquatech 30-60's on my 20gal tank and...

Adding a new filter won't solve the immediate problem...it takes time for the nitrifying bacteria colonies to grow to the point where thy can process ammonia and nitrite at a quick pace. For an immediate solution, using an ammonia and nitrite neutralizing media is your only solution. If you...

I'll definitely agree that the movie was very subpar... the video was clean...but like everyone else has said, the DTS track packs a very large punch. So far it is the only movie that has bottomed out my 142litre EBS shiva sub...

How about the Platinum Series Se7en ? DTS, multiple commentaries, lots of extras and an awesome job on the video!

Fishless cycle is the only way to go. It is faster than cycling with fish and won't put any undue stress on any fish. I agree that Eheim is the way to go if you have the extra money.. I've only heard positive things about them. You don't have to clean the canisters as often, every 2-3...

Definitely read up about CYCLING your tank before buying fish. Chad, Oscars are fun fish...very personable! And you are right about Jags...nasty nasty fish...all mouth, teeth, stomach and attitude!

Yep, you can't beat BigAls for most prices. I actually just ordered some supplies from http://www.petsolutions.com/ last night. Their prices were pretty much the same as BigAls, but they ship to Canada...BigAls will as well, but at much inflated prices! The one reason I prefer Aquaclear...

As for a stand 75gal tank, check out your local classifieds or even better, checkout some of the aquarium related forums out there...there are tons of good deals to be found. As for filtration and heaters, you can't go wrong with Ebo Jager heaters...they are little more expensive than the...

I could live without TOD, but I'll still watch it :) Pretty much the same situation for me with the Die Hard trilogy set, for the extra couple of dollars, might as well get the box instead of the other 2 individually.

I have my 80gb drive done 10/70. That way I can just blow away my 1rst partition if I want to re-install..and I don't have to worry about losing any data (all stored on different partition/drive).

Putting plants in before the tank is fully cycled is probably a bad idea, you don't want any comptetition for the bacteria for the nitrogens! If you're going to use ammonia to start cycling, you probably won't need any other products. Just follow the fishless cycle articles...and does the tank...

I just noticed that you were thinking about getting an undergravel filter, do yourself a favor and don't go down that path. Get an AquaClear 300 filter and use 2 foam inserts instead of 1 foam + 1 carbon...you will have a lot more area for beneficial bacteria colonies. You should really read...

How about trying some African cichlids for fish? Very colorful for freshwater fish! Here's some links to some fish sites/forums that I frequent: Aquaria Central http://www.aquariacentral.com/ MyFishTank http://www.myfishtank.net/ Predatory Fish...

I'm always tempted to quiet down my PC, but I leave it on at night and it is in my bedroom. I'd rather dear the humming of the fans over the whine of the hard drives (3 hard drives). :D

I'm not sure how much they will allow people to talk about this stuff here but, here's what my thoughts are: Yes, games should load much faster from games that are backed up to the hard drive. But for most games, you will only be able to have 1 or 2 games sitting on the drive, unless you...

I wish they'd put more effort into fixing problems with the PC version. It would have been my choice for GOTY for PC, but they took their sweet time fixing glaring bugs.

I'm still trying to figure out the DirectX not being supported under NTFS bit from one of the earlier posts ;) The only reason I can think of for not using NTFS on a WindowsXP machine is for being able to use the partition under multiple operating systems. I guess it all depends on how you are...

If you are using a large drive and like to have lots of data saved (games, movies, pics, etc), I would seriously think about partitioning your drive if you are going to use NTFS. What I've done is split my 80GB drive into 2 partitions. #1- 10GB For the operating system and program files...

I'll pick it up in softcover when it's released next year... I've read the first 7 books in the series, but I'm tired of going back and re-reading the entire series everytime a new book comes out. I'll just wait for the series to be finished before starting again ;) The same goes for George...

The new Xbox works fine. Or at least it does with the bundled games. I'll pick up a game or 2 this week and see how it works.

I called the number that was in the Xbox paperwork... the GF is out shopping and is bringing back the new Xbox, so I can let you know what the number is later on...or tomorrow.

It's going back tonight after work. Hopefully I won't get another lemon this time !

I finally took the console plunge on Saturday afternoon... I picked up a Xbox at Walmart (it was on sale). I had an adventure trying to find the Advanced AV pack...none of the stores in the mall had any in stock...ended up finding one while out for groceries. Once I had everythign setup, I...

Same here, traded in a couple DVDs that came with my player... plus the GF would have forced me to buy it anyways.

I run 1280x1024 @85 and 1024x768 @85 on my dual monitor setup...both at work and at home. My 19" monitor will do 1600x1200 @85, but my eyes must be getting too old for that.

I picked up Season 2 at the local Walmart for $39.88 CAD. Pretty good price. Then again they only had a few copies and sold out before 8pm.

I listened to mp3s, and I wasn't impressed at all. I loved their older stuff...but now it seems that they've gone the Aerosmith way... a bunch of ballads.
