I bought a French nudie magazine to see how it compares to American ones. Unfortunately a direct comparison won't be possible because I used to get Gallery and Cherie and this one reviews XXX films. The good part is it had 3 DVDs in it for me to watch when I get home. It cost 10euro 90 which is a bit compared to what Gallery and Cherie used to cost but they may be $10 or $11 now.

I bought the Grand Theft Auto Classics pack from Steam for 30 dollars. 5 games, GTA, GTA2, GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas. Reliving some great memories here...

There are a few minor problems, but all of the games (except for GTA2) work real smooth on my computer from the start, in 1680x1050 (much better than what I remember from their PS2 versions):

Won't Run: GTA2
Sound clips crackle and cut out sometimes: GTA III, GTA: Vice City
Headlight flashes don't show: GTA III
Cars look very dark: GTA III (I found an .exe to fix this problem)
Had to use Joy2Key to properly configure my Xbox 360 controller: All

Can't wait until GTAGarage (a mod site) re-opens so that I can start playing with mods! But I'm still having a surprising amount of fun with these games. :green:

No, the complete one. I am still in turning at least every other penny stage.  :asthing:

Great offer though, bit more than 15 euro, including shipping.

Didn't buy anything yet, but saving up for this as an early birthday present.



Sold my other fisheye lens for a 7D, wanted to sell it for ages beforehand since I found it too impractical for video. Why? Circular fisheye for FF sensor/film SLRs = annoying black areas on a crop sensor. Sadly I'm not going to splash out on €2k+ on a FF DSLR just to see everything on it. The Samyang fills the whole frame, as it's not a circular fisheye, which is MUCH more practical for video. It's also a fair bit cheaper than the sigma, only €340 compared to €800+.

How wonderful. While you have to deny your children (if you have any) that toy they always wanted because you had to spend all of your money on gas, these big oil company executives are buying their kids entire fucking islands. :thumbdn:

Major ouch.  Even trading  the truck in for a horse and wagon won't save you much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

That's great! Did you take some time to Czech it out?  :zoinks:
