Dick's is awesome late night drunk food (many a guys night of Rock Band and beer at my house includes a run to the Dick's on 45th), but you should've hit up Red Mill. Their onion rings are incredible.

Aww man, you should've gone to the Five Point on Denny Regrade! Best 24 hour greasy spoon in the city.

Glad you had fun in my fair city, though. :D

True, in a way. Paying off each month is essential but a high balance in proportion to credit limit is one of the markers that are also looked for. For a significant portion of the month his/her ratio is in the danger zone...and it will have consequence for the rating. He/she was looking to build credit so at no point should 25-30% of the available balance be exceeded, at any time.

But the flaw in your logic is that credit cards don't report until the end of the month when they are billed.

I gave up on caring, arguing. Bottom line is he needs to watch his debt level...during the month, post billing, etc, and keep the balances at 35% or lower...particularly if he is young and establishing credit. Pull up your credit report and you will see the current balances of all your cards as of the day before.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
At school, I've been chillin' with this ghetto-ass folding chair for the last couple of weeks, and I'm sick of it. That shit sucks. I said fuck it:

See, you need back support in a chair when you're sitting there without plans to move for a long-ass time. I now have that!

You can also see my current (messy as hell right now) setup at school. Sorry for that mess.

Some late night love for my Wii. The amount of quality titles that get released on VC/Wiiware is staggering. Even slowly buying 3-4 a month I've already got a collection 120 strong. Great titles like Pulseman and Phantasy Star seemingly show up every month now.

Finished the Trilogy. Thanks Lucasarts!

And Contra Rebirth. I'm one of the few who loved what Konami did with Gradius Rebirth and the second installment in the series seems just as inspired!

Five Guys is amazing IMO best fast food chain burger shop on the east coast.

Fully agree, 5 Guys burgers are just better than In and Out, IMHO.

Fridays is 5 guys day at work, I look forward to it every week.

Great manga pick up! I'm also collecting this series, so far it is so hilarious!! :lol
Click to expand...

Yup, SZS is awesome!
Actually, it's my favourite manga and anime series ever.

Thank god, for Del Rey picking up the manga.
If only the anime would arrive to NA and EU. Well, a man can hope.

Picked up SF20: The Art of Street Fighter at Capcom's booth at PAX on Saturday.

I was surprised to find some artwork I'd never seen before. It was a kind of expensive, but worth it to have in hardcover. Pretty awesome collection of images.

Hey woodypop can you tell me where that book is printed? China I assume? Thanks!

Some recent game pick-ups. I was pretty stoked to find a new copy of Frequency in a record shop for €9.99; I only went in for a pair of headphones. :D

DSCF0753s.jpg


CDs, €4.99 or less each.

Now that's what I call a guilty pleasure! :D Some new additions to my collection.

Got a couple more sticks. This one is very pretty. Nice artwork, nice subject, nice deep purple on the buttons and trim.

Oh and Yes Boss!, you won't regret getting Elevator Action. Such a classic.
Try to beat the game without using a continue and you'll unlock the original as well. One of my all time favourite classics! :D

I'm sure this has been asked multiple times in Pick Up Post threads but what exactly do Yes Boss and the other arcade stick collectors do with all those arcade sticks?? Every month I see 2 or 3 arcade stick purchases. Do you just collect them? What's the deal?

Cool. Yeah, I play all my games without continuing...just a habit from the eighties. Initially I thought the game sounded like Exit and all puzzle-like but after watching vids it looks a whole lot more. Arcade fun!

3 things:

1) You don't need to finish the game without continues to unlock Elevator Action 1... just finish the game.

2) Elevator Action 1 really sucks.

3) Playing the game on one credit is indeed the correct method. I 1cced it on hard mode yesterday, and was satisfied. Guess I'll tackle it on Very Hard next time.

I do like the colors.
