    What to do with old systems?

    Sell them on eBay or sell/give them to someone who wants them. The credit you'll get from Gamestop (or any other outfit of its ilk) is an insult to be frank. Better to give (or sell on eBay) to someone that wants it than basically giving it away to Gamestop only for them to turn around and gouge...

    XBox360 and the "Red Circle of Death" (aka: "three red lights")

    Add me to the list. Luckily I still had a couple of months on my warranty when it failed (this was prior to the 3 year extension), so I sent it in and got my replacement. Make sure to test out your downloaded content, as all of mine was basically unregistered thanks to them sending a...

    Coke Blãk (pronouced "Black")

    I like it. A lot... I've actually been having it for a while now, and it's not at all what I initially expected. At first, you get Coca-Cola...and seemingly...just Coca-Cola, but it's that aftertaste that gets you, a rich almost mocha-like aftertaste. That's all I'm going to say about that...

    How is a human Jabba possible?

    It's amazing how many parents feed their kids like that though. I knew a kid whose parents gave him soda while still in infancy (yes, in a bottle). Naturally all his "baby teeth" rotted out. Lucky for him that's not the only set he got... Fortunately (I guess), most children tend to have a...

    The Best Burger Place EVER

    Never been (or seen) a 5 Guys, but I'm going to have to stop now if ever I do pass one. Best burgers I've had lately were at Carolina Wings: The Buffalo Cajun Ranch Burger (the the sauce is better on the wings...) & the Black & Blue burger. Good eating...

    XBox a Potential Tool for Predators?

    I'm a fan of misanthropy myself...but if that doesn't work for you...heh. Seriously though, I get tired of hearing stuff like this. Sure, predators COULD use it, but I just love how the media types get a hold of stuff like this (MySpace comes to mind) puts it on the airwaves as it it's going...

    He-Man Masters of the Universe season 1 volumes 1 and 2, 2 pack at Sam's Club

    I really need to check that out. I've had them in my Amazon.com wish list for forever now, and just can't justify the $35+ price, but $40 for both, well, that's a different story altogether...

    The Revolution has an OFFICAL name!

    I don't remember ANYONE liking the Playstation moniker, nor did I like it when Sega changed the very cool KATANA into the not-so-tough-sounding Dreamcast, but I ended up loving both of those consoles. I'm putting my money down that this will be much the same case...

    What color Nintendo Revolution are you getting?

    I'm leaning towards white (I'd normally go with black and silver, but the clean glossy look suits the white, especially with the blue LED's).

    Serenity (2005)

    BoxOfficeMojo.com has it at almost $34 million now, and the overseas tally for the week has yet to be added. It's in only 308 theaters nationwide now, so I doubt it will be adding a whole lot more domestically (should be trickling into $1.50 theaters though). There's a single theater still...

    Rocky 6, why oh why???!!!!!!!!!

    I think Stallone gets a bad wrap, honestly. Did he really deserve to be named the WORST actor of the 20th century? Hell no... The guy has just made some bad decisions over the years. Sadly these might well be lumped on with them. Once upon a time, he could write, and he could even act a bit...

    Rambo IV gets the green light

    I know I'll end up watching this at some point, but I've got to admit this preliminary storyline is about as sensible as Jason X's was, or worse... I don't like the idea, but I hope Stallone comes to his senses. He was able to write (and act actually) once upon a time. He sure as heck didn't...

    Serenity (2005)

    I kept scratching my head at that one as well, even going to the IMDB to see if the character/actor was listed anywhere. He of course was not. I finally figured out (thanks to a thread at the official site) that he was a character that Joss would have probably worked in had the series lived on a...

    FIREFLY DVD Discussion Thread (Merged)

    I've seen it three times so far, and I've enjoyed every viewing. I'd never seen Firefly prior to my initial viewing, so I didn't know what to expect. As for whether or not it's sci-fi, which I can't say much for the series (I'll have the DVD set this week), I'd say that the movie itself is...

    XBox 360 Price Announced: $299 Standard/ $399 Premium

    I remember paying $69.99 for Final Fantasy III & $72.99 for Street Fighter II on the SNES, so $59.99 isn't that bad. I won't like it much, but I'm not going to act like games have never been this expensive before (heh, I've paid $120+ for certain individual games before, import PCE, Neo Geo home...

    Gas prices go below $1.00

    I understand that there is a constantly diminishing supply of oil, but I doubt that we are quite so direfully close to that end as some would think. We in the states are finally getting the screw the way much (but not all) of the rest of the world has been getting for some time now. The price...

    Can Instant Messanger be 'traced' by IT?

    Yeah, telling that to a lawyer might prove...hmmm...incriminating? Anyways, with the move of a great many companies towards active e-mail monitoring, to the extent that they are hiring individuals who do only that, you can bet most IT departments will be monitoring real-time communications...

    When and How Did the 3.5 Floppy Drive Become Dispensable?

    Plenty of PC's will actually allow you to boot from a USB Device, so that should be an option. I haven't done it yet, but with 1GB USB flash drives for as little as $59 (Tigerdirect.com Memorex), they open up a whole lot of options up as far as booting your PC into different environments. Got...

    How do you make Firefox the defalt browser on a Mac?

    I've been using it on my eMac for quite some time, and have had very few problems (can't think of it ever crashing on me, though there are times that it stalls).

    Burger King Commercial - Coqroq

    Eh, when the local university's mascot is a "Cock" (Gamecock to be exact...), you get kind of used to the old Beavis & Butthead humor (Uh-huh-huh...you sais...). As for the Chicken fries, I had them (before seeing the commercial) and I wasn't very impressed. Too dry, too much batter, not...

    Help....wife is mad at me

    Yup, they'll pretty much do anything to not pay you, as I've learned time and time again.

    XBox 360 Price Announced: $299 Standard/ $399 Premium

    $399 is quite a chunk of change (though I'm not saying it's not worth that and more...lots of impressive tech under the hood). More than likely too rich for my blood at this point, but I'm definitely considering it. Might have to do the old Wal-Mart layaway... The last time I bought a console...

    Will anyone buy the new Gameboy Micro next month

    Not for that price. For $20 less you can get an SP, and for $30 more the DS. They've basically priced this one out of demand IMHO.

    aliens vs. predator: extinction

    Heh, being a big fan of the AvP FPS games (from the original Rebellion-developed game for the Atari Jaguar to the later PC versions), I was excited about this one when it was first announced. Unfortunately, I'm not a big RTS fan, so I kind of forgot about it. Should be cheap enough to give it a...

    HTF UMD REVIEW: I, Robot

    What she's saying is actually a Psalm (of David I would assume). 16:8 if I'm not mistaken...Google-searched it.
