I was cleaning out my ears and my sink in my second bathroom doesn't drain well and started to fill up. I foolishly had my Zen on the towel rack right above the sink and of course in fell right in. I was only submerged for a second or two but that was enought for it to start flashing primary colours and then settle on the color pink for a while and then switch to blue and then black. I immediately opened it up and dried out all the water I could see. I put it on one of the air induction vents for the central heating in hopes that it will dry out all the way and work in a few hours. We'll see! This could be the excuse I've been looking for to buy a new portable. The problem is that my zen has been great and very reliable. I haven't seen a better player since I've bought it. I've a a couple of friends that had zunes crap out on them. The new mass storage Ipods have laggy firmware which turns me off to them. Can anybody point me in a direction to an MP3 player that they've seen and have liked?

I'm glad you liked it.

It abides by a lot of it's rules but broke the rule that the director must not be credited.

The movie is just as brutal as gummo but what I love more about donkey boy is that the characters are capable of deeper and more complex emotion. This added humanity also deepened my sense of compassion. I highly recommend it.

You should watch the movie Harmony Korine made after gummo titled Jullien Donkey Boy.

I bought this game a few days ago and I can't stop playing. The game is amazing. It's become one of my favorite mario games ever. I like it even better than SMB3 (and I know such a claim is blasphemy!). It starts off way too easy but after the first 60 stars you collect then the game has a sharp incline of difficulty and that's when it gets fun. There is so much variety with the exception of collecting 100 purple coins in every level that something almost always feels fresh. I highly recommend this game.

It's amazing how many for sale threads have gone up in the past two days over there.

The 6th season episode of curb titled "The Anonymous Donor" is so fucking good. The perfect mix of painful and gluttonously funny.

Curb Your Enthusiasm season 6

It's pretty good but I couldn't say that it's worth the cost of the TV, xbox 360 and game. The last thing any of us here need it would seem is another waist of time.

What I like about HD programming is the fact that it's in widescreen. I really don't care about the higher resolution.

I'm glad that you like the game as well. I also really like driving around in the Mako ala master blaster. What gets me excited is the possibilities of downloadable content. With the open universe it would be pretty easy to create some new missions in a few new quadrants of space.

UTIII is coming out for the xbox 360. Seriously, don't buy a PS3 unless you REALLY want a specific game. I own both a 360 and PS3 but have only enjoyed one ps3 exlusive (resistance). I know that in time there will be more and better PS3 exclusives but that might not be fore another year or two and by then the PS3 may be even cheaper.

Have you tried disabling your tv card in the hardware manager menue?

Man oh man those two cats a cute! I'm going to have to go down stairs and pet my roommates cat right now.

That's good news. Now if only other states will follow suit.

I managed to play a lot of mass effect last night and this morning. I'm liking this game more and more as I continue to play. The story is told well enough and is engaging. Even though the game play is only OK compaired to almost any shooter the story drives the game forward and keeps me very interested. I haven't been this into a story since final fantasy VII, however just for nostalgic reasons I like FFVII's story more. The music is well done. It's all very basic synth that feels like it would be in a 70's or 80 sci-fi/horror movie. It does a great job of conveying the game's tension. I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys story driven games. This may be one of the few games that I'll keep when I beat it.

it's too bad that all of us banned people here will still be banned most likely.

I found it after I was banned from head-fi I did a google search for "banned head-fi".

Yeah I'm pretty sure that I will. I grew up with cats so they're will always be a soft spot in my heart for them. I've been looking at some the more emotionally stable pure bred variety like persians.

pics or it didn't happen.

I played a little bit of mass effect today and enjoyed it. The voice acting really stands out as well as the simple dialog. Most of the time all you can hope for with video game dialog is that it's not embarrassing. The conversations in this game feel natural most of the time. We'll see how I feel at the 20 hour mark however.

that cat looks very sweet and lovable. I've been really thinking about getting my own cat after I move to portland in late spring next year.

oh you're right. For some reason I translated distributor as an amazon partner.

No it wasn't a distributor. It said it was directly from amazon. I don't dislike amazon really. I was just having a bit of fun being an asshole when I said "fuck 'em". I find a lot of books I can't locally on amazon.
