        *grrrr* -- nm - trish si Sep 3, 11:11 6
        
        it was primarily a TN accent, but its been west coast diluted severly -- nm - crash davis Sep 3, 11:14 5
        
        that's not what i heard - farmer ted Sep 3, 11:15 4

Your hottie of the day... -- (link) - Dano Sep 3, 10:56 [Image]
So I stayed up until about 2am playing Batman: AA this morning... - Stephen Sep 3, 10:55 5
- I love the way the tools are gradually dispensed rather than given out at once. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:55 4
  - Those makes the best games. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 11:00
  - Very well designed. It would've been insanely easy if you were equipped with everything. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:58
  - (spoiler I guess) - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Sep 3, 10:58 1
    - I completely agree with that. -- nm - David Sep 3, 11:24
Oh, and we have a "Best Buy is so incompetent" story. - David Sep 3, 10:54 3
- stupid -- nm - Epiphany Sep 3, 11:15
- Ridiculous. -- nm - Stephen Sep 3, 11:01
- the number of these stores seems to be growing. My brother just bought a TV from them and it was a nightmare for him. - decline Sep 3, 10:57
Two episodes behind, but I LOVE The Colony on Discovery. -- nm - Jovian Sep 3, 10:50 1
- What's this/ -- nm - Stephen Sep 3, 10:56
Take it with a grain of salt but vgchartz says that the PS3 edged out the Wii and 360 in America last week. - Inigo Sep 3, 10:50 19
- Not surprising imo. $299 was the magic number for a pile of people who were looking to get a PS3. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:51 1
  - Not surprising at all, but a price reduction is a very short term boost. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 10:52
- Anecdotally, the PS3 was doing well at Best Buy last night. I saw three sold while we were in line. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:51 16
  - I've been toying with the idea of lifting my boycott eventually (when I get a new TV) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:52 15
    - Why boycott? It's a fantastic console. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:53 14
      - When it first launched, they were attrociously egomaniacal, mostly thanks to Kenny K, and I was offended by that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:55 7
        
        (also overpriced and insistent that users would be "willing to pay to gain access to such incredible technology") - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:56 5
        
        At launch, the PS3 looked no fun at all? -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 10:57 4
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 3
        
        (Specifically, it looked like an over-priced, over-powered, under-utilized, ego-driven pile of crap) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 2
        
        and to put that in perspective, I didn't get an XBox 360 until two years after it was released. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 11:00 1
        
        I traded in my xbox for a 360 when it was stil 399 for the basic one -- nm - eag Sep 3, 11:14
        
        Get over it Sally :) -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:56
      - I genuinely despise ours. I had to get two updates last week and it keeps trying to get us to shop in the store. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:54 5
        
        The updating can be annoying when you just want to play a game. - Stephen Sep 3, 10:58 1
        
        Aye. When I threw in KZ2 a few months ago to play it, I needed like a 90mb update iirc. Booooo. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 11:11
        
        Interesting. I haven't needed an update recently that I can recall. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:55 2
        
        We had to get 2.6x one day then 3.0 almost immediately afterward. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:56 1
        
        I should check my FM version. I'm not even sure what it's at. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:57
Strongbad is up to make the pick he traded for. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 10:49 4
- He sent a draft card for the prior two picks. Two of those guys are still available. - David Sep 3, 10:50 3
  - I'll wait til I see you or him post something, no worries. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 10:53 2
    - You're up. -- nm - David Sep 3, 11:23 1
      - I already went. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 11:31
