If it's almost exclusively for gaming, I'd go with the H-P. It's got the superior processor (in terms of speed, although the P4 runs cooler) and an actual video card. And the 54g wireless is nice too (that's one of those things I hate about the Centrinos - they only use 802.11b, which sucks compared to what is out now). The Toshiba has Works while the HP has Corel, so I'd take that into account. The Toshiba has a faster system bus though. I'd go with the HP if the price isn't that much. They aren't that different overall, so I'd probably use price as the determinant. And for people that say laptops aren't good for gaming, you'd be surprised what they will run. I have a Celeron 1.33 GHz with integrated graphics and it runs all these games just fine (games that are about a year old)

Beta is the OTHER VCR format. Offering higher image quality in smaller cassetes, it fell to the larger, lower-res VHS anyways. ... I think the big thing that killed it was you could get more time in a VHS tape than a Beta one, but I don't know for sure. Not so much that as Sony wouldn't let people sell Beta tapes with porn on them. So we got stuck with a lower quality product. And I don't remember Betas myself, but you can buy VHS tapes in all sorts of lengths. Or at least you could (as was previously stated, the tapes were really expensive).

I'm pretty sure that in Char's Counterattack, Kayra is promised a pineapple salad when she comes back, by whats-his-name (astonaige or something like that, I think). Of course, she doesn't make it back alive, although someone else makes it out in the Re-GZ. And you had to watch it with subs for this - it was among some of the things changed in the dub (I believe it was spaghetti or something like that). Seem familiar?

We definitely need to be able to see these commercials.

I'm just gonna go to some parties. I was gonna dress up as Patrick Bateman but I decided not to after the dinner/presentation I went to on Wednesday (2 hours on power transmission systems and people like CAISO and PJM, not fun so I don't feel like dressing up). This also means I'm stuck with beer only (odds are only beer, and I'm a Jack Daniels person)

Nice valks, you even have the styrofoam that goes above the head for the VF-1S. And each of them has a Takatoku catalog. It would be nice if someone had a guide for bashing the hasegawa armor and an HCM.

Although the thing at the top says $200, at the end he says $150 and ebay for $75 to 100.

their out in english..... Rez (at last check) was fairly rare in english and the biohazard games are playable and good. And they both don't need japanese knowledge. And there was the version of Rez that came with the trance vibrator.

Rez and the Biohazard games don't need a lot of Japanese knowledge

Actually, it's an item from eBay in the US appearing on the Australian site (he ships internationally, so that's why). I've gotten e-mails from people all over the place using their eBay sites.

I used to play America's Army every day, but I haven't played it in over a year. Lack of a single player was a pain and the time between rounds was really annoying. Personally I think Ghost Recon is much better.

Good luck with all this. And you took the car title was definitely a good move.

I have this and it isn't that great. Its okay. But again it confirms why I only buy sellect pieces from the FIXX line and don't buy the whole series. while it has the looks the material quality is really poor. Go for the prime. If you already have a Hikaru and or a max 1/48 1A wait for a milla 1J Needless to say, it looks really cool. And when you've got like 10 or so valks, something else to display looks pretty good, even if it is only an ok toy (how many people bought the first 1/48s with all the QC problems, only to have them be re-released?).

My plan as well. Halloween is the best time for parties at college. And dressing up as something requires too much effort.

I'd advise you to check Toy-wave for that, now if only I didn't have problems spending more than $100 on a toy. As for me, I haven't been collecting non-stop. I started with Macross in 2000, forgot about it until I was in Japan in 2001, and I've been getting stuff every so often since then. Of course, most of the stuff I get is from people that don't have a clue what they are selling, so I just turn around and sell it.

I find this ironic since the most valulable thing in this auction is either the alpha or the boot (its obviously a boot) and the seller just has a generic discription for any macross auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=19198

Well, it's good that you didn't get hurt and it's only a car. Everyone's gotten in a few accidents. I got hit by two people (on two occasions) that thought I was going to run a red light that I didn't (as in it was red 2 cars before me and people were still going through). After that happened the second time, I just did whatever I went out to do, drove the car back and I haven't driven since. The car didn't even get dented, but I knew sooner or later some dumb person would wind up putting all of us in the hospital. That was more than 3 years ago and I wouldn't want to drive now (not so sure of those skills, especially since I had my license for like 18 months at the time). On the plus side, I have a ton more money now that I don't drive anymore (no more insurance, tags, and like the 4 various city permits).

Well, here's a pic of me, after some of my friends got bored with photoshop (it's only like 2 years old and I don't have any good pictures on the computer)

Definitely the Gundam Fix 0017b Zeta Plus. I've been seriously considering getting that while I haven't thought about the other stuff. Although if the Hikaru VF-1S were on there...

Somehow not banned (I'm surprised at that), and I still go over there pretty frequently, but not really to post. Seeing all these people excited about the VF-1 MPC is still pretty funny (and sad), that's why when I post it's usually trying to help them discover acceptable toys.

I'm so very tempted to get those Zeta Plus fix configuration. At least the red one given the price.

none that are accurate (that i know of), especially since the floor has just fallen out for a lot of stuff. Your best idea would be to ask and see what people say

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=16514 I can see some dumb person buying it for $200, but $300?

Actually I have an old Rocket propellant device. It was made here in Japan. Supposably you can attach it to a model plane or car and it gives it thrust. I haven't used it before. Looks alittle dangerous. What you do is put the chemical circular tablet in the metal case. Stick a metal rod through the thrust nossel and heat it with a lighter until it ignites. They are supposed to work, but I guess it would trash the model. When i go back to my toy office I will try to take a pic of it to show what I am talking about. Hmm, it doesn't sound too dangerous but I wouldn't trust that with a lighter. Probably because everything I work with uses an electric current (as do most model rocket ignition systems). That is surprising about the elintseeker, although I still hope that Bandai will reissue it. The prices on the Bandai elintseekers are insane now.

Yeah, it's the 1985 one. Those were stickers for that one. The other clue is that it's got the clip-on heatshield.
