It's the Effing Friday Thread!! Post Whores Live Here!

[06Touring3]

not good for sony...nintendo has taken the market with their Wii...

Wii and PS3 are totally different markets IMO

the systems were designed to accomplish 2 different things...PS3 is next gen gaming coupled with fancy features

Wii was designed to be fun gaming for all

but in regards to sales then yes...Wii is slapping everyone

[mazdathree]

good that you still have the manufactures 1 yr warranty!....If this was to happen to me i'd be :flaming today...but PS games are just to addicting to give up on them..

[06Touring3]

hahaha no kidding man...the MAIN reason i am getting it replaced again is to play MLB 08 The Show and COD4....the only games i have lol...i have GTA4 but i'm going to trade it in and put it towards MGS4

Headin' up to the boat on Simcoe to chill if the weather cooperates. Then probably some karting at the 3S track so my wife can beat my lame ass again. I really need to fatten her up... I also envision plenty 'o' beer in the imminent future...:gone

Last week the curb, this week a really excellent (not!) rock chip in the windshield! :flaming

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

Last week the curb, this week a really excellent (not!) rock chip in the windshield! :flaming

I hear ya man. My new MS3 wasn't even a week old when some f'in asshat :AH in an SUV or pick-up, put a very small, but very pointed dent in my driver's side rear door despite the fact I was parked a long way away from anyone else. They hit it hard and high up on the door too, so not the easiest dent to remove. My car is black and waxed so it shows up really easy and it is seriously pissing me off every time I see it. So not happy...:rant I mean, what the Fook is wrong with some people???

[DumpInfo]

yeah alot of movies are out!

It's either Bangkok Dangerous, College, Traitor, or Disaster Movie...

Traitor looks good :)

[mazdathree]

Last week the curb, this week a really excellent (not!) rock chip in the windshield! :flaming

oh that sucks! I remember the first time i had a rock hit my windshield while driving on the 401....it turned into a hugh a** crack on the windshield from one end to the centre...replacement cost $600 for the OEM windshield with rainsensor

[cwp_sedan]

Last week the curb, this week a really excellent (not!) rock chip in the windshield! :flaming

That sucks. Shoot me a PM if you have to replace the windshield. I got hooked up for mine.

YIKES!! I only paid $450 and everything was OEM.

[DumpInfo]

Yessss one hour to go! :bana2

[DumpInfo]

Just got the invite...but if your eager to get your ride washed by a couple of hot girls check out event on facebook http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=38309638768 - it's probably worth the trip to Btown :)

[DumpInfo]

Finally done! Good weekend all :)

[bigwood29]

Does anyone know where me and my girlfriend can try curling?
Never tried it though.. If anyone knows any ice-rink that does curling, please share :)

Richmond Hill Curling Club usually has times available for open curling and for beginners. Just give 'em a call to get more info. You can reserve a "rink" (i.e. like a lane of ice) and have some beverages. They also have equipment that you can use (e.g. sliders and brooms). It's fun if you haven't tried it and a good drinking sport. Anyone else curl? Might be a good outing for TM3 memebers. Hurry hard...

[S.F.W.]

. Anyone else curl? Might be a good outing for TM3 memebers. Hurry hard...
I've curled once, but would like to again.

[dentinger]

sick! i got a new phone today...
nokia 5200.... not a great phone, but still alot better than my last one.

[Noisy Crow]

That sucks. Shoot me a PM if you have to replace the windshield. I got hooked up for mine.

Thanks.... I got it filled and it mostly disappeared. The really sad part is that I washed my car yesterday and was annoyed by the chips in the paint that I will need to fix. :bang Oh well, it's not a show car, so it's going to get dinged.

[dentinger]

my front bumper and hood are soooo covered in chips, that i just accept it.
and you cant really see the chips unless you look up close anyways, so meh

stone chips on the hood and bumper is something that is unavoidable unless you install a clear bra which will reduce the chips to a certain level. I have it all over my hood as I do a lot of hwy driving...I just keep an eye on the metal surfaces (the hood and the side fender) and apply touchup paint to avoid rust...

[FONZ]

Back from work. Pub time now! Wooo!

[laksman91]

IMPORTFEST TMRW! Ill keep an eye out for any TM3 peoples

[intensity]

back to the hell hole for school (waterloo):bang

[dentinger]

Note to self: Next time, buy primer coloured car!:chuckle

haha, and for some reason, i find light coloured cars have black primer/paint underneath, and dark coloured cars have white primer/paint underneath.

what gives!?!?

and i cant type anymore, so im off to bed, good night tm3!

[JonsMazda]

In before lock :)

[Walrus]

[Thrizzl3]

[mEtH]

DANG I got beaten to opening it up...

I am still awake revising some files before they go to pre-press tomorrow. Yesterday around 2pm or so I get told that they would now like to make this book perfect bound instead of saddle stitch :flaming

Oh well, being paid on the hour this one! Besides it will make the book look ten times better. Should be about another hours of collecting files and making PDFs.

[mazdathree]

i need to take a few days off! weekend is not enough

[Thrizzl3]

im working all weekend:blush

[openuser]

Happy Friday All!

[FONZ]

Decided to throw in STP Fuel Injector right after I gased up, before it went to a $1.36@! Seems to do the trick, So far so good.


Thanks Ron!

[bubba1983]

Gotta love that. I had something like that happen to me with the McDonalds coupons that just went out. Ended up working crazy hours to have them out on time.

What program are you using with your files Meth? InDesign or Quark? Do you have a preference?

[06Touring3]

what happened to your ps3?

it stopped reading discs (second PS3 in less than 6 months that this happened)

but i bought a new TV stand last nite so my 360 and PS3 won't be on the carpet anymore...i believe that might have been the culprit

im still on my original 60GB ps3 havent had any problems with that but as for the 360..first one gave me the red ring (bought it brand new) and i sent it in..4 days later gave me a refurbished one (bastards) and they are both on the carpet lol.

yeah i'm on my 2nd 360 as well lol turnaround on my 360 was awesome though less than 24 hours after i sent in my broken one i get a replacement

[kaval]

How do you guys like your PS3s? I've been wanting to get one for a long time but no money. I really only want it for Gran Turismo.

Same here, that game will be sick! That and NHL09 ;)

[Thrizzl3]

microsoft has to fix those bugs..the amount of 360's that go in for repair is like wow they really need to fix this problem..but at least u get a free month of xbox live.:chuckle


How do you guys like your PS3s? I've been wanting to get one for a long time but no money. I really only want it for Gran Turismo.

absolutely amazing..i dont really use it for games but i use it for surfing the internet and jamming to some tunes. bluetooth wireless controller is useful for when your not in the same room as the ps3 but you can still change the music track that you are listening to..i am so happy i got one:bana

[06Touring3]

the problem with the 360's was the heatsink on the vid card was shit causing mass overheats

and i LOOOOOOVE PS3....much more than my 360 would recommend it to anyone...but i am keeping my 360 for Gears Of War 2 and to watch streamed vids from my HTPC

[Thrizzl3]

is there any reason for the 360's HD dvd player?? or is microsoft just wasting money devloping useless equipment..

[mleblond]

hd dvd movies...I don't think it allows you to play games from it :chuckle

[Thrizzl3]

ps3 out performs xbox by far...it has way more features

[whiteomega]

How do you guys like your PS3s? I've been wanting to get one for a long time but no money. I really only want it for Gran Turismo.

i use my PS3 almost exclusively for Gran Turismo. I love the system, but I do find the hard drives are a bit slow (you'd think using a hard disk to save data would make saving faster..but you'd be wrong, at least in Gran Turismo's case).

i've got it set up to stream movies and videos from my pc too, which is pretty sweet.

[06Touring3]

is there any reason for the 360's HD dvd player?? or is microsoft just wasting money devloping useless equipment..

they don't even make it anymore...............haven't been making it since the format war ended

i'm pretty sure you can buy them new for like $30 if anywhere even still sells them

[DumpInfo]

Finally friday! Sad thing of all is this hurricane Ike...hopefully it doesn't cause too much damage :(

[06Touring3]

id on't think it'll be as bad as Katrina....but if it lands as a Cat 4 like they say.....god damn

[DumpInfo]

I have friends and family down there so am praying it doesn't get to the point that hundreds are dead :/

At least on the bright side I don't have to wash my car

[06Touring3]

yeah i haven't washed my car in like 2 weeks...there's no point

[mEtH]

I use both actually. At work everything previous to when I started was in Quark so I didn't want to try and transfer it all in to InDesign. Everything I do at work is in Quark but I use InDesign for any of my private work, unless the client has a preference. I figure I know more in Quark because I was taught on it and use it daily, but they're basically the same InDesign still has its advantage being under the Adobe brand. I hear Quark8 will be evening out the playing field though, bringing in the ability to paste directly from .psd and .ai files.

i hate when you wash your car and the next day it rains:flaming waste of time getting into those little crevices. might as well drive with an umbrella over your car

[Slade]

Nothing special this Friday except being of for the weekend. No payday :( and crappy weather.

G/F has to work all weekend so I will probably end up landing on the couch for the weekend playing 360 and working :(

Oh well, sure beats coming into work.

I have NHL 09 for ps3 now... I took advantage of trading two of my used games to get NHL09 for 4.99 So if anyone have it for PS3 lets do it up!!!! Also I bought TNA impact for 360.... Sunday is going to be hype as I will be going to attend the pay per view at Oshawa.

Where'd you swing that deal?

As for Rock Band 2... I think that I HAVE to get that. It's a killer lineup of songs!

[06Touring3]

he traded in 2 games...that's how....

i will be getting it for PS3....RJ3 PM me your name and i'll add you when i get my PS3 back

[LockOut]

WHERE did he swing this? Is this a standard, across the board deal? I've got a few games that I want to get rid of, and would love to trade 08 for 09

[06Touring3]

blockbuster....rogers video....anywhere that trades games....they will give you store credit you can use towards purchasing a game

typically you will get about $30 back fro recent titles and $15 for older titles (PS3 and 360 games only)

it stopped reading discs (second PS3 in less than 6 months that this happened)

but i bought a new TV stand last nite so my 360 and PS3 won't be on the carpet anymore...i believe that might have been the culprit

wooooot? you have both PS3 and 360? you sure are a gaming maniac :chuckle

[06Touring3]

lol to behonest i dont' know y i bought 360...i've always been a Sony backer....but i like both of them now that i've used both extensively


but ALL console gaming will stop once Starcraft 2 comes out...i'm building a new PC specifically for it hah!

[LockOut]

blockbuster....rogers video....anywhere that trades games....they will give you store credit you can use towards purchasing a game

typically you will get about $30 back fro recent titles and $15 for older titles (PS3 and 360 games only)

That's a pretty sweet deal... I will have to look into this.

[06Touring3]

yeah i trade games a lot since i beat games and don't ever play them again....with the exception of sports games....i keep those until the next years game comes out

but i've changed my strategy of late...i rent adventure games a beat them rather than wasting $60 for a game i'll only play for a week

[Go_Habs_Go]

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!! FRIDAY!! FRIDAY!! FRIDAY!!!!!!

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but I've had a looooooong week LOL! :)

[mazdathree]

I still have PS2 and the only games I play are Tekken5, FIFA 06, FIFA 07, Virtua Fighter4, Smash Court Tennis Pro. Out of all I love Tekken5 and FIFA. I havent played them in a while I usually play with friends to kick some a** :chuckle

FIFA07 is one my fav games.....EPIC battles have occured in that game

[mazdathree]

FIFA07 is one my fav games.....EPIC battles have occured in that game

are you a soccer fan?

[MattC]

just get both systems, they are both really cheap now.

that way you can play any games.

[Thrizzl3]

i play fifa 07 for 360..that game is too fun

[mazdathree]

just get both systems, they are both really cheap now.

that way you can play any games.

true that!

[mazdathree]

FIFA is just to much fun and being a soccer fan I love it even more :)

[Thrizzl3]

just get both systems, they are both really cheap now.

that way you can play any games.

cheap is right..wen i got my systems i paid $850 for the ps3 and $780 for the 360..now there almost half of that

[MattC]

someone in my office turned off the ac and ventilation, its a ****in sauna in here.

looks like a good excuse to go home early

[mazdathree]

cheap is right..wen i got my systems i paid $850 for the ps3 and $780 for the 360..now there almost half of that

holly shamoly!...thats way too steep...and knowing that electronic products are a depreciating items...one should always wait for a price drop IMO

[-RJ3-]

Yup... The deal is for the sports game.... They are smart though....

This is a good deal only if you have used games, and does not qualify if your trading in sports games. Believe me I tried (NHL 07 is valued at $7.00 trade in value)

The catch is used games should be valued 8 dollars trade in to EB.

I noticed that some games that have a value of 29.99 at stores will qualify as a 8 dollar trades in at EB... Games like Grand theft Auto IV (EB trade valued at 22.00)...
So what I did is I had a Grand theft Auto IV and Grid, traded in for NHL 09 (used credit to pay off the 5.99)
So if you had a simpsons game valued at 29.99 it will qualify as it reads trade in value of 8$ in the system.

Im typing fast so I might not be making sense LOL.


In short if you have current games to trade in, its a frigging deal!


So far any console game that is bundled in a system pack values at $7.... They are really smart.

[mazdathree]

let me post whore a bit!

I hear ya! I don't have any of the new gaming systems like Xbox or PS3 or whatever but I used to play FIFA02, 03, 04, etc on the PC.

My buddy had really good joysticks for his PC and we would go NUTS for the FIFA. We'd be 4 or 5 guys and have these insane marathon matches, playing non-stop.

Good times indeed!

1. Welcome to the board.
2. Don't make fun of my white hat.


Don't mean to post like crazy, but I need 50 post so I can use classified section

P.S. If you post whore to get to 50 posts you could be banned.
:)

[Kcorby]

I best get back to work now.

HAHA, it is you, your up early old white hat man lol.
Thank you for the welcome

Is this the only location to get 50 post, and only on a Friday?

anyone else buy a brand new M3 only to have it smashed months later?

up

anyone else buy a M3, but their wife wanted the M5 and lost that battle?

I still got the M3, but now I like the M5 more for room, should have listen to my wife, friend had m3, but wife made him trade in for m5

my 2006 m3, has 2008 m5 rims, but that still did not make her happy HAHA

[LockOut]

To get 50 posts, you can post anywhere. Just reply to people's comments, etc. But, As Cardi said, and him being a mod, he'd know, if you post whore (read: post like crazy) to get your 50, you may be banned.

I know that there's a thread about it somewhere, but does anyone know of a coin-op car wash anywhere in downtown? I'm at Yonge/Lakeshore, and don't want to have to drive a million miles to wash my car. Can't do it in my apartment :(

[Kcorby]

gas is only $1.13 this morning in PTBO, sadly a year ago, $1.13 would not me making us happy, better then the $1.39 it was a few days ago from Ike. Still rather pay 1.39 then have lost everything from Ike =(

yes the price is coming down but it wont be down for long

[Kcorby]

what if I spell the bad word to get 50 post in a different way like.....like hidden in the message????
If you read the above sentence, you can find the letters that spell that bad word.

Come on, that is creative, thats worth 50 post!! PLEASE!!!!

Yep, play nice or a mod will have an itchy ban finger. Though I just a)merged his posts and b)changed it so posts in the general lounge no longer count. So have fun :)

While I agree that he should not be able to get his post counts solely by post whoring in this thread... Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this "Up your post count" thread? Just playing devil's advocate. Don't want to give YOU an itchy ban finger... :chuckle

[Kcorby]

im confused, so I can't post multi in here to get 50 post, did someone merge all my posts?????

Not so cool! =(

[Kcorby]

I guess I will play far and earn them, thanks to everyone in here, you guys seem like a fun bunch

[Cardinal Fang]

Really, it's not that hard to contribute 50 posts to a forum if you post consistently and carefully. Just don't drop into a thread and line up the posts one after the other. That makes you look bad in the eyes of the members. That's not cool.

The guys with the Copper Red cars are the only real fun members if you ask me. :):bana2

[Kcorby]

Sounds reasonable, thank you for the help guys, have a good day and see you all later!

Cheers
