Mr Marco

Welcome to Portland!

Draggin' my ass today. These winter boots don't help either. Temp gauge in the car said 31 at home, then 36 at off-ramp to downtown. The bridge that connects Hwy26 to the street was still frosty. Where is that snow?

clee109

You know Portland, it has to be the perfect storm for moisture to move in when it's this cold.

they say moister on saturday but it will be 46 as a high.. i call BS and it will be more like 42 since the low is suppose to be 30.. we will see

Mr Marco

Big storm? Mother Fuuuuu. Was going to go shooting down at Tri-County on Sat...can't catch a break lately. Kinda my own fault 'cause I was too lazy to go last Sat.

^ sunday is going to be dry..




Anyone know where i can get some decent seasoned firewood at a good price??

Mr Marco

I'll ask my father-in-law. We don't have a fireplace.

bluecarbonfiber

is he a logger?

JDMsTATus

I need some firewood too! Maybe we can get a bulk sale lol

Mr Marco

EXCAVATOR. He cut down some trees on his own property last year for heat, but he still might know.

Mr Marco

Holy shity time Batman, everything (intranet) is going down here in PSU land. And to think I could have taken this morning off, but came in to work aNYHOW....

EDiT: nevermind, it is working again.

clee109

Students fucking with your networks?

Mr Marco

I think that they have replaced most of the vulnerable paths and the old equipment is gone. But I don't know who fixed it because I'm in another building now. Everyone was forced to move over here because we populate the entire building now. New furnature still smells like Office Depot and I miss all the eye candy. Nothing but polyester pussy over here.

JDMsTATus

Mr Marco do you work for the school?

Mr Marco

Yep. Lone idiot still here. I think my pay is equivalent to a McDonalds manager. I've been thinking about leaving for a sales position selling water-beds. At least the product is more accommodating. If I want to take a nap while on-duty here I have to find a classroom with comfortable chairs that I can push together.

bluecarbonfiber

^ sounds like rough times..

Mr Marco

Carrie surprised me with new PS3 today(160GB Holiday Bundle). Complete with two controllers, blue ray remote and Shift 2 unleashed. Looks like I need to start shopping for the 50" LED!!!

It's a welcome change from that Samsung blue-ray player that would have audio drop-out at the worst times (during crucial scenes).

Mr Marco

OOOoooch, even 46" is $1,600 on sale.

^ FAWK best buy.. there warranty sucks and all they want to do is take your money and tell you that your wrong.. if you can find the tv somewhere else its worth it!!..

LED tvs are nice but i would still stand by my plasma any day.. also on the newer tvs youll notice people look more your watching something off OPB like its an on stage play ive noticed its on our new tv had to change the hz down and dropped the pixle to 720p cause it looked too goofy for me. alot of the newer tvs that are 120hz and above will give you that look.. Just an FYI..

Mr Marco

That's a good was to put it. I had noticed that "Goofy" look too in a couple of hotel stays that we had. It was like every show was a poorly shot soap opera. Ya, Best Buy just happened to be where I looked on-line. I was actually considering Video Only. They really do seem to have the best price. But hey I've blown my wad on a stove that arrives on Friday. Let's hope santa gives me some Christmas cash.

bluecarbonfiber

^ ya its funny how it looks cause we are all use to standard tv and how everything looks flat.. with HD it kinda seems more 2 demention (sp?) where it wants to pop out more almost to that 3d look with out the glasses.. im sure as time goes by ill slowly change the screen too it.. but for now i like the standard look it seems smoother..

Mr Marco

I was thinking that it might have more to do with the compression rate. The background being a still image with the characters in the foreground moving. But who knows what the real issue is. I had thought a faster refresh rate would solve the problem.

Mr Marco

All I can think about right now is PS3. Must resist urge to pick up 'Call of Duty," "Batman," and "Uncharted3" on the way home.

Anyone use gamefly?

Mr Marco

Oh ya, Brando I almost forgot. Danger Daryl hasn't bought firewood in 10 years so he doesn't have a good connection. I was shocked to find out that he has been going out to Grandma's property and cutting the smaller trees down for seasonal firewood. Stupid and cheap SOB. That will end soon because they sold the ranch and it closes in January. He's too lazy to stalk up, so we'll see if he buys any next winter. God I hate that bastard.

clee109

Video Only = Suck.

Hate their staff, hate their store, like their prices. Do research, then go to Video Only, tell them if they even think of bothering you that they'll be sorry... Buy TV, install, watch, if you don't love it make sure you wrap it back up EXACTLY how you got it and take it back. If even the manual bag is torn they wont take it back cause they're homos like that.

bluecarbonfiber

batman archam city is probably one of my FAV so far.. so is dead space 2.. havent done assassins creed yet but heard it was good... no game fly for me

haha Danger daryl.. sounds like a stunt man

really we need a good mom and pop video store that strives for good business and will give great customer care.. but the problem is these bigger corps shut them all pretty much down with there bait and switch and FU policies that screw you over in the long run..

Mr Marco

^good advice. I kinda got the impression that they were not the sharpest tool in the shed just by the outdated logo and 1992 ads.
Yep, had a few of those in Eugene growing up, Really miss that one-on-one customer service of a local neighborhood place. Best I could do here is the Creepy guy at Blockbuster Video on Bethany Blvd. Surprised he didn't get fired sexual harassment the way he was getting smarmy with all the teeners in that place.

"Danger daryl" is just an asshole.

Mr Marco

bluecarbonfiber

^ saw that.. million bucks though?? really

The Russian

Hey who's the guy who works at PSU w the black rdx and wife has a Tl?? I talked to you at the meet. Need some school advice, shoot me a text, 4155316672

bluecarbonfiber

^ thats marcus

bluecarbonfiber

Hey Marco a place in vancouver is looking for an RDX to test out a top mount intercooler.. might be worth your while to get a few extra ponies for possibly free.. all it costs is your time should look into it

Mr Marco

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, been out sick with this damn cold. And I have new PS3 for entertainment. Will send you a PM.
I've always thought that IC was too small. That was the one biggest difference I noticed between the MazdaSpeed 3 and the RDX. Is it in the RDX forum?

bluecarbonfiber

ya there is a thing listed for it under performance.. i would do it in a heart beat if i had an rdx..

clee109

HWY 26 East today around 1ish, 3G TLS White, black painted grill, Type S emblem in lower left of trunk, yellow foggies, full projector retrofit for running lights with HIDs. Who was it?

Mr Marco

Sent them an email Friday night, will call them if I don't get a reply or call by Monday 4PM.
New In town?

Both of us are still sick as ever. Carrie just sits in lazy boy and deals nasty farts. Still have 200lbs electric range sitting in my living room waiting for someone to get a burst of energy and carry it into the kitchen.

clee109

Was WA plates

clee109

clee109

Not the kuro! Was the best TV ever made.

Have you guys checked the prices at Home Video Library on 165th and Division?

I've been buying there since the mid 80's.

If you have the PS3 try out GT5. I have not tried out any other driving games so I can't compare them personally. I read a BBS and the overall comparisons rate GT5 above Forza for racing (instead of just gaming). Downside is you do have to spend some time driving before you can buy all the preferred cars. I'm up to 800+ of the 1,040 in the game.
