I Best Buy. Smile (Seriously, they all know me at my local Best Buy. When I was in Madison, some of the boys at the registers used to give me an employee discount. Embarassed )

Occasionally, when desperate, I Circuit City.

Frequently, I Amazon. (Think I might need to get into some support group or group counseling for that one...my Wish List has topped 2000 items.)

But I do not Walmart. Ever.

Do you GameCrazy, GameStop, or EB? I understand your urge to never Wal-Mart (believe me, I've started my conversion to Target, but Wally-world is so much more available) but do game stores exist in your locale?

Yes, we've got some GameStops and EBs. I might go there. Good thought.

As someone who never wants to grow up, I also would suggest Toys 'R Us.

I need to figure out some clever way in which I can stop going to work and somehow still receive money, so that I might play more Halo 2 online with you guys. Hmmm.

I wonder why? I mean, yeah their an evil money grubbing company...
But... they sell good stuff at cheap prices.
I got a 10" in diameter plasma ball the other night, i have been looking like crazy for a big one. And the smaller 3-4" balls usually come at $20
walmart got me the hugest electrostorm plasmaball I've ever seen for exactly 19.99 before tax.
Cool, cuase when i put it by my alarm clock, turned it one and fell asleep, i woke up realizing that I should not have put my digital alarm clock so close to the ball. The time was flying at a rate of roughly 1 hour=1 second.
Explainations are that the elecrtostatic field generated by the plasma interfered with the chips in the clock. either way it made me late for work.
Fun to watch time reall fly though.

I am going to walmart now to buy some materials for my car before I go on live for the night.
My car... thats an interesting story you will all learn about in a day or so when i fully upload the crankage footage. Boy oh boy, some of it is funny.

angelo, considering I ran into the gasoline myself, and nearly hurt myself in a hysterical laughing fit over it (otherwise I think I would've been as pissed off as you), you don't even need to apologize. Fo sheezy.

It's all good.

I got my communicator/headset/XBL subscription at EB Games.

Hey all-

Some of you might know me, more if you've been on the IRC chat.

Anyway, gamertag is: INCyr

I've grabbed a dozen or more names off this list so far, but hopefully I'll be getting in on one of the clans. I think I'm shooting for The Beekeepers, as that seems to be where most people are.

Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend, and I hope to see you guys all online!

Yay INCyr!

Had a nice little time tonight exploring Coagulation on my own. Waters messaged me, and I invited him, and then kaber came along, then INCyr! So we did a very very very long 2 on 2 CTF match, and it was fun! Sort of nerve-wracking for me, since the focus was on me a lot more, but I managed to have fun playing snipe-the-sniper from allll the way over on the other base.

One thing that I did not know, and sort of made it suck was how you couldn't capture the other team's flag unless yours was at your home base. It makes sense, I know, and is balanced, and provides a nice angle for strategy. but with a map that big, and only 4 of us, it was sometimes luck that allowed us to get to the other base in time to make a difference.

That's actually a game option you can set for CTF; whether or not your flag has to be at the base for you to capture.

Yeah, I didn't realize that either, until I had your flag, and you had mine, and I was at my base, and it wouldn't let me score.

But overall, it was a very good game! I had a ton of fun, and can't wait to play with you guys again!

(P.S. How many Beekeeper clans are there now? I've seen The Beekeepers, SPDR ninjas, Evadevadevade... and maybe one other.... I'm currently part of SPDR Ninja's, but I'm interested in knowing about the other clans as well. (I had an invite to The Beekeepers, but it appears more of the people I know are part of SPDR Ninjas, so I ended up going over there... for now.))

It was a classic CTF! Default rules is that your flag has to be at home to score! The frustating part is that there's no timer to return the flag. You touch it and it goes back to the base instantly!

I was playing matchmaking with KaberA and we were having a lot of fun! Then, we joined Krystyn for some fun team killing each other! Laughing

When INCyr showed up, things heated up and we had a very nice game! KaberA, you're very good with grenades!! Got killed tons of times hiding in your base and you throwing grenades from the roof. Mad It turned out to be a fun game!


On a side note, I'm having fun matchmaking with beekeepers! I teamed up with Dasro Kast on Saturday and with kaberA today. Yeah, we found some annoying kids once in a while, but it's fun! Specially when I connect during early afternoon and most people are offline. So, if there's not enough people online, this is a good way to have fun with only 2-4 guys! If you see me online, send me an invite!

Ah, one more thing. I was still having network problems when trying to join some people's party. That happened with weephun quite a lot and with kaberA today! I think I found a potential solution to these problems! Today, after kaberA couldn't join my party and I couldn't join his, I turned off my firewall (zonealarm pro) and then I could join his party! So, if you're having network problems when joining parties, try to turn off your firewall. It might help!
