I just loved the simplicity of Ico and how daring it was as it came out around the time COD and stuff was getting huge, I love games that dare to be different and Ico was all that.

I know exactly what you mean in shadow its infuriating trying to get used to the controls especially the camera controls but climbing the colossus is easy after a few attempts. Still a fantastic game for its time of release.

Just put in a order for a Christopher ward watch, a little present for me http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men...ess/c5gwg.html

Set me back a bit, but I think its worth it, since my recent Krug Baumen died on me

I don't get the appeal of watches....especially stupidly expensive watches, isn't that what smart phones were created for...financial & practical efficiency?

my sennheiser hd 650 headphone and schiit asgard amp came in! i had a couple of nerdgasms when i opened them from the boxes. gonna set it up after i get back from lunch.

Spoiler for size of pictures:

I'd send that amp back if I were you. It has a bad habit of destroying headphones with excessive DC offset on power-up. Head-fi losers and mods tried their best to cover it up and bury the guy who found the flaw, but it doesn't make it less true.

[iceyfw]

the topic concerning schiit's amps were in their first patch of amps. it has been resolved somewhat by adding a relay when turning it on. i always unplug the headphone and turn the knob to zero when i'm done with listening to it. when i want to turn it on again, i always wait a few seconds for the light to turn on before plugging the headphone back in, and of course the volume knob being at zero still. i follow this procedure concerning any amps regardless of its reputation.

I'm glad that they did something to fix the problem, because for a while there they were trying to sweep the problem under the rug. Sadly this is all-too-common on Head-fi recently. It has become such a generally hostile place to any objectivity that I stopped visiting the site years ago.

Well that is actually a cheap watch compared to the big names. Smart phones wernt created to stop watches as they are seen as prize possessions not like smart phones. I think many business men would rather have a Omega then the latest smart phone. Though I could be wrong seeing as im just a surfer .

Over the weekend, I ordered a new Unmanaged Virtual Private Server to replace the current host for my blog since my old host is horrible. I finally got it configured, so I just have to transfer the domain in the next month or so.

Also, preordered Pokemon Black 2 Japanese and can't wait to play it once it releases.

Same here, I'm finding the whole game quite charming and captivating- the art style, the music, the narrator... shame I'll be playing it rather slowly.

[GundamFan0083]

Just bought a Kindle Fire (for SF book reviews on my blog).
Very nice tablet for the price.

Also bought a few ebooks to go with it.

The Chosen & The Number (both very Inuyasha-esc YA fantasy novels).

Soldier of the Legion (very Starship Trooper-esc)

Battle Earth

Siege of Titan

Containment

From Hell

I now have a list of other ebooks I want to add, but they'll have to wait for the time being.

I'm debating whether or not to pick this up, I already have so many games in my backlog, but for 5$...Also I heard the gameplay isn't that great :/
