What Did You Just Buy?

[Cocktooth]

It's extremely exciting. I use to buy games and then trade them in a month or two later after only playing them a small amount of time. Wrestling games, and UFC games were the worst with this. The replay value is awful, and doesn't keep me attention. Now, I have my mainstays. Every year, I purchase NHL and Madden. ( Madden is falling a bit for me in the importance. I probably played 10 online games this year ) If 2k11 can come out with a better product next year, which I doubt, it would move into the every year catagory. Now that I'm on Xbox, I can no longer purchase The Show, which was always a Midnight purchase when it came out. I don't like 2k11 MLB, so I bypass knowing I won't get my value out of it. If I'm on the fence about a game, I will rent it, and if it passes the " will I play it in 6 months " test, I will go buy it.


And guys, please stop trolling about this Commander. There is real convo going on here.

I like the Commander. FC, what type of gas mileage do you expect to get? Did you opt out of a third row of seats?

It has the 3rd row, but you can fold it down.

I'm expecting 25-30 mpg. It burns diesel. Cost me 100 pounds to fill up the tank.

I voice my displeasure with an arrogant answer about my teammates never giving me the rock. I just recorded my first Double Double and in the next game dropped 31 in a win over the Spurs.

He's a beastly 6'8'' SG out of UNLV now rated 85 on the Toronto Raptors sporting a 64-16 record.

Probably mirrors your stat line for your Freshmen JV team huh, beast? I kid. Thats some sick stats. How long of quarters do you play? I made a mistake by making my guy only 6'5" It said the taller you made him, the less you would get for all your accomplishments. I'm getting increasingly pissed off because Danny Granger won't give me the rock during crunch time.

[f3lix]

I play 12 min quarters.

Been a loooooong season.

An iPad 2. It's pretty tits. I'm currently using it to control my tv and play videos off my computer. This post has been typed in from my iPad.

Are there any sweet windows based tablets available? I can't stand apple interfaces as I am not hip enough.

Windows Mobile (or Windows Phone 7 or whatever the fuck they call it now) is for women. Plus I'm not sure if they have windows tablets anyway.

If you don't want an iPad, get a Motorola Xoom. It runs Android rather than iOS has fantastic reviews.

Just got a battery backup case for my iPhone. It's awesome and very much recommended for anyone who finds themselves wishing their phone had more battery life.

[Cocktooth]

Why would you play the regular season with 12 minutes, and change it during playoff time? It should be the other way around.

[f3lix]

Because career and season stats are good for the regular season and not playoffs.

I just booked a sensory deprivation tank for tomorrow. Will let you know how that is.

[Ugly Bastard]

More info on that? Never heard of such a thing.

[thekremlin]

They put you in a chamber filled with water heated exactly to skin temperature, supposedly so you can't feel it. The water is salty so you float on top of it. And it's dark, so you pretty much have no senses going. At the extreme, the sensory deprivation can make you hallucinate, but realistically I think it will just be very relaxing.

I'll let you know what it's like. It might all be BS.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

I've always wanted to experience deprivation chambers. I didn't realize it was a saltwater solution to make it easier to float, and had always wondered about that.

let us know how it goes.

[Ugly Bastard]

+1 on the TR request. Sounds kind of awesome.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

Just bought a very similar set-up as this for my G.

[Ugly Bastard]

MBN working for the government, man. Everyone I know that works for the government banks like crazy.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

what does MBN mean?

EDIT: nevermind, i looked it up. I enjoy it. It's got it's ups and downs. It's not insane amounts of $$$, but definitely not hurting.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

hey I think this guy has a G.

It was pretty interesting. Had a private room with a chamber in the middle of it. The chamber itself resembled a toilet seat with a round cover. I showered, covered a cut from BJJ with vaseline, and climbed inside, closed the door and shut off the lights. The water is relatively shallow, maybe 8 inches deep, but you really do just float right on top.

First 15 minutes there is very mild music, and it's kind of tough to relax at first. Primarily the neck, it takes concentration at first to actually let the muscles in your neck stop working and just hang your head. Also it is bizarre when you can close your eyes or open them, and see the exact same nothing.

After the music goes off, it's just black and silent, you can't even hear your own breath because of the earplugs. You kind of start to drift off... the experience is like the moments between being awake and asleep, just stretched out for 40 minutes. There was a little bit of time where I was kind of seeing the things that popped in my head.... at one point I did have a visual of a mountain range, but again it's more like a half-dreaming seeing than a hallucination.

Towards the end I moved around in the tank, rolling my shoulders and neck around. This had the effect of making me feel very loose when I got out, more so than a massage. In fact the whole thing was more relaxing than a massage, but then again I've never found massages to be extremely relaxing.

I'm going to go back next week, I was not able to relax fully this time, but I think that's just bc I'm a n00b.

I've seen tons of videos of it on youtube, after first seeing the concept in the movie Daredevil. I would love to own one someday.
