        Stopping the downturn is good, but we will want growth to come somehow. Remember that one critical form of growth will be the stimulus. - con_carne Jul 23, 15:33
        
        I no silly, you sill :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 15:26

  - it's in Atlanta...was just curious. -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 14:53 1
    - It's actually on the south-west side where I'm not much inclined to go. A quick look at food sites suggest it's really mostly ribs. -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 14:59

- I LOVE that Raimi has been given WoW. He is perfect for it. - Jovian Jul 23, 14:47 4
  - the scenes of grinding up to level 60 are going to be a bit tedious. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 14:48 3
    - As will the waiting 3 hours to get logged onto your server scene. -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 14:50
    - I wonder who they'll get to play Leroy Jenkins? -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 14:49 1
      - Dane Cook or Larry The Cable Guy could pull it off -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 14:53
Totally uninteresting overshare: I bought that GHWT complete band bundle last night. - musubi Jul 23, 14:43 20
- Nice, now go buy RB2. The song list is better. -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 14:45 19
  - Is it $99? - musubi Jul 23, 14:48 18
    - Just need the game. The instruments will work on both of them. -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 14:49 17
      - Wait, what? All the instruments in RB and GH are interchangeable? -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 14:59 15
        
        there's a compatibility matrix available online which shows the (many) intercompatibilities -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 14:59 14
        
        Aww rats, I googled it up, and it says they're not compatitble. - musubi Jul 23, 15:03 13
        
        It should be compatible with Rock Band 2. I looked at this before. -- nm - pmb Jul 23, 15:05 10
        
        I should point out, I got it for the Wii. The XBox360 is compatable, the Wii is not. (nm) - musubi Jul 23, 15:07 9
        
        Ohhhhh, doh! That sucks. -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 15:26
        
        I looked at it for wii too. Huh. -- nm - pmb Jul 23, 15:09 7
        
        This is the link I'm looking at (link) - musubi Jul 23, 15:11 6
        
        This is the one I'm looking at. I think it might be most current. -- (link) - pmb Jul 23, 15:16 5
        
        Rats, websense doesn't like that site. I assume it says the GHWT equip *is* compatable? (nm) - musubi Jul 23, 15:25 4
        
        Yes, for Rock Band 2. Not for Rock Band 1. And it doesn't seem to go the other way (RB controllers don't work with GH). -- nm - pmb Jul 23, 15:27 1
        
        Thanks all. I'll probalby rent RB2 at some point, to try it out. (nm) - musubi Jul 23, 15:31
        
        Yes. It says it works with RB2, but not RB. - Reagen Jul 23, 15:27
        
        Rent or borrow the game before you buy it. I think we had a similar experience with my inlaw's Wii and GH/RB. -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 15:26
        
        Fuckin' Subby! -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 15:04 1
        
        Tryin my hardest to be like Nubby! -- nm - Subversive Jul 23, 15:31
      - Oh. Neato. I just might have to do that then. (nm) - musubi Jul 23, 14:50
Oh fun, Ramon Castro, who Omar Minaya gave to the White Sox for a song, caught Buehrle's perfecto! - musubi Jul 23, 14:40 2
- The song was My Humps by Black Eyed Peas. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 14:42 1
  - That's a rockin' song, I stand by my decision. (nm) - Omar Minaya Jul 23, 14:44
So work called and said they accidently gave me 6 dollars extra. I told them I wasn't sure how that happened, but okay, I'll bring it later. - Qale Jul 23, 14:38

        Does it cost a Dollar? (nm) - musubi Jul 23, 14:41 3
        
        That might break the Budget, really. And with the National issues currently going on, that would be a bad thing. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 14:43 2
        
        Speaking of bad things, remember the Alamo? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 14:47 1
        
        I still don't know why U Haul that baggage around ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 14:56
- Payless will give you crabs. nm - Dignan Jul 23, 14:32
- Hertz. I know I had their Gold Program that cost some, but the perks kicked bootay. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 14:31 3
  - I lean towards hertz, actually. why do all car rental companies have lame names? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 23, 14:38 1
