- I can't imagine anyone trying this in a collectibles shop where the people behind the counter are generally quite knowledgeable on the subject matter. - Mop Oct 25, 11:40
- That was no lady. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 11:37

- wait, is this a garage sale? watch out for groups, one or two will distract you while the others shoplift half your stuff -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 11:29 1
  - no I'm at my store. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 11:29
- is Lard Lad a substitue Legion character? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 25, 11:28 3
  - That's the first thing I thought too... - secretslacker Oct 25, 11:32
  - Simpsons character. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 11:29 1

Does the new site have anything like the old League? The Friends display is useless since it doesn't display port size or show more than 5 at a time. -- nm - not2fast Oct 25, 10:46 6
- Honestly, how hard can it be to set that up? -- nm - Mop Oct 25, 11:17 1
  - It's still shocking how little regard they had for the existing game/site before the update. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 11:47
- Not really... before the changeover, D. Mac told me there'd be no actual league thing... which i think is a mistake. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 10:54 3
  - From Profile, go to HSX Back Lot, scroll down to Now Trading/Whose in your league? - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 11:25 1
    - Wow, I hadn't even noticed that Back Lot page before... that's interesting. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 11:34
  - Same here. Fortunately, I saved my old league before they trashed everything. Just in case they ever make the game fun enough to play again. -- nm - not2fast Oct 25, 11:19

- Okay, I know what the response to this post is going to be, and I just want to say now... - secretslacker Oct 25, 10:23 5
  - Isn't slacker a job category on IRS tax schedules? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 10:27 4
    - Slackers by definition should be too lazy to file taxes -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 10:29 3
      - I'm going with mental disability, I'm depressed, and filling out tax forms is counter indicated for my mental health, you know its like depressing. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 11:28
      - ssshhhhhh!!!!! geez dude not so loud -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 10:52

someone did a trade a minute ago ands said the comission IS STILL ON -- nm - peglegpete Oct 25, 10:16 3
- I always though commision-free time kind of ruined the integrity of the game. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 10:53
- If the site is using Pacific Time now, wouldn't commission start at 4 EST -- nm - Qale Oct 25, 10:17 1
  - ...or not considering how FUBAR the whole site is currently - 'lia Oct 25, 10:46

If we have 2 people in the house with Xbox Live accounts, for both of us to access DLC, we'd both need to buy it, right? - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:55 11
- No, should just need tobuy it once. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 25, 11:05
- Actually, you will need to buy a whole nother X-Box! How lame is that?! -- nm - Ken Kutaragi Oct 25, 10:12
- Anything on the local XBox can be shared. It does get sticky if you replace the 360 or hard drive though. -- nm - budice Oct 25, 10:07 1
  - And...Different profiles do require separate XBox Live accounts -- nm - budice Oct 25, 10:08
- For the 360 newb... DLC? - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 10:01 5

      - [deleted] 2
        
        The atmosphere is very creepy, and mostly it's the sound that gets you. Or me anyway. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 10:49
        
        I can agree with that. - Remlik Oct 25, 10:24
- good question. I *think* you can both access it since you're on the same machine....but I'm not sure. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 10:00
here's the problem with zebra cakes - pixie fierce Oct 25, 09:45 1

- And here I was wondering if anything had been cancelled yet this season. -- nm - Tim Oct 25, 09:58
- well Knight Rider and Terminator got full season pickups already. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:31 2
  - I think Chuck had a full season pick-up before the season even started, though could be wrong. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 09:37 1
    - yea it did. nm - Jovian Oct 25, 09:42
- I'm actually happy they may pick up Terminator... - Mel Profit Oct 25, 09:31 7
  - Bleh, I should have not dropped it I guess. - celedhrymandias Oct 25, 09:36
  - I almost wish I hadn't dropped it, but it's on opposite Chuck and HIMYM so it lost. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 09:32 5
    - I feel the same way. but for me it lost out to Chuck and Big Bang. nm - Jovian Oct 25, 09:34 2
      - I'm actually watching Big bang this season after rejecting it last season upon seeing the first few eps. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 09:35 1
        
        Yep Sheldon, but its not a problem if you love Sheldon though. He is the best. And Penny is gorgeous. nm - Jovian Oct 25, 09:38
    - it's not great, it's flawed but has promise and getting better with each show. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 09:33 1
      - I was liking what they did the first few eps of this season - if it was on another night/time I'd still be TiVo-ing it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 09:37
- Wow...How far has Earl and Betty fallen? -- nm - budice Oct 25, 09:28 4

- "Members of the Sith have neat custom lightsabers, get to slap everyone around, and just plain look cooler." -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 10:30
- It's not all his fault - look at his gene pool. -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 09:45
- But what about the other 2 hours of Episode 4? Much less #5 & 6. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:16
- only 5? -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:14 6
  - those are weak and you two are going on The List -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 25, 09:17 5
    - please. Wesley Crusher is more of an asskicker than Luke. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:25 3
      - let's not say things we can't take back - pixie fierce Oct 25, 09:28 2
        
        he and I will team up and take Spawn's candy. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:36 1
        
        ha, i love it when a plan comes together -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 25, 09:38
    - Sorry, my bad. My jokes works better with "Top 5 reasons Luke's a whiny bitch." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:22
"The reason the Republicans found Joe the Plumber was to find someone hanging around a toilet other than Larry Craig." -- (link) - James Carville Oct 25, 09:07 1
- James is the zinger king. LOL I still don't unedrstand what keeps him and Mary Matalin from killing each other in their sleep. :) -- nm - sheba Oct 25, 09:18

Wait a second... is Covington Cat.... - secretslacker Oct 25, 09:05 17
- Uh, dude...definitely not - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 09:50
- That was my thought too. -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 09:48 8
  - And I should add, this is fine with me if true. He's mended his ways better than many others. -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 09:51 7
    - In my case, there were no ways that needed mending. - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 10:10 6
      - OK - that's your business. But when you say you want to start on a new board with a new name and no history, it's human nature... - Roger More Oct 25, 10:18 5
        
        I understand that but does the speculation have to go directly to troll? -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 10:25 4
        
        He wasn't a troll - just some one who had a rough start on the boards and who hasn't been able to escape his early reputation. - Roger More Oct 25, 11:14 3
        
        I was called a troll on a backboard. - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 11:17 2
        
        because the posts i've seen from you so far have been thinly-veiled Obama smears - pixie fierce Oct 25, 11:22 1
        
        I know who you are. You're really misreading what I'm posting. - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 11:28
- not Razorhawk is still Brightwind -- nm - 'lia Oct 25, 09:07 3
  - nothing to stop him from getting a second account. -- nm - mafic Oct 25, 09:15
  - I thought Brightwind was the other mara... - secretslacker Oct 25, 09:13 1
    - I could be very wrong, It's been known to happen - 'lia Oct 25, 09:24
- With an ego-ectomy, maybe. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 09:06 2
  - You'd think that I would be better at guessing posters' identities... -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 09:13 1
    - I'm pretty bad at it, as you probably noticed in your own case. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 25, 09:14
I went to check my port to see what I was holding, and I guess Pride and Glory is the only one I am holding...and I have no idea what that movie is. - JaxSean Oct 25, 08:57 5
- It's a cop movie with brother theme- Ed Norton - Colin Farrell - it was pushed back for over a year and a half - looks not so good -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 09:39
- did anyone figure out how to delete ports, btw? I couldn't find it. - JaxSean Oct 25, 09:04 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - I wouldn't expect a response until Monday. (If then.) -- nm - mara Oct 25, 09:42
  - THere doesn't seem to be a reset port function under profile -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 09:05
Ed...I believe they have 1 or 2 songs about women and sex on the new cd. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:57 1
- I'm not going to make a big effort to get it and certainly not paying $15 through the site. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:59
An interesting comment left at the official Democratic Party website. - mara Oct 25, 08:50 1
- The American people deserve to know the truth about Senator Obama's connections to Chinese sourcerors -- nm - John McCain Oct 25, 08:57
Seriously, you can't completely diss the new HSX forums... - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:35 10
- ... because I haven't been there. -- nm - Dano Oct 25, 08:37 9
  - And there's no Dano there to ruin everyone's fun either!!!! -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:39 8
    - I tried to go but could not get it to open - what is the word on the weekend openers? long? short? - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:42 7
      - Long all three. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:47
      - You don't need HSX for that - on B2 here as well. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 08:43 5
        
        Oh, she probably has you killfiled, cause you can still do that in this forum :) -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:47
        
        thanx CT, I just perused that - nice info. Gracias for posting it - I am hoping the Pride/Glory is a wash - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:47 3
        
        Guess I'll have to brave HSX tomorrow to reverse my longs... that'll likely be it under next Friday's halt. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 25, 08:49 2
        
        The new game is a mess but it's workable if you're not big on daytrading (which is kind of pointless right now) -- nm - secretslacker Oct 25, 08:56 1
        
        If it's a mess (and it is) then it's no fun (which is what games should be.) -- nm - Qale Oct 25, 09:55
