Oh yes.



Explosive.

Like Andrew, I also got a new smartphone: A Motorola Cliq 2. It's okay - definitely the nicest phone I've ever owned. Hate that it is 3G, prone to freezing and not always the most user friendly. Would certainly prefer an iPhone as I envisioned getting a 32gb SD card and using my phone for everything, but such is life. The keyboard was a major selling point for me.

[Andrew]

Looks nice. I had my choice of phones with the plan I switched to and I was considering the N97 Mini but was quietly advised against it as apparently they've had a lot of people experience faults with them and need replacements. So far I'm pretty happy with the X6.

Just pre-ordered Rise Against's new album. Can't wait for March.

An electric toothbrush
Dead Space 2 for PC
A couple of CDs: the Zidane "tribute" CD by Mogwai and "Pulse" by Thomas Giles (the vocalist from Between the Buried and Me).

[Patr1ck]

I hope Dead Space 2 is better than the original, because it sucks.

[el badman]

I wasn't too convinced by the original either, mostly because the controls were absolutely pathetic on PC. The sequel got some really good reviews even for PC so I hope they improved the support for mouse and keyboard.

Bought a new controller. I don't really like Xbox controller but doesn't have much choice as much as controller goes.

[atlwarrior]

Had to get a pair of these but they were sold out everywhere so I took a risk and bought them on Ebay for more than the original price . But hey whatever it takes.

Another scale model kit added to the collection, hence JUMP being ignored rather sligtly:

X-mini 2 capsule speakers. These things are fucking loud.



Cowon D3 pmp with Android OS. Overpriced, but its just going to get a lot better since there is a lot of Android modding out there.

[el badman]

Just pre-ordered Portal 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood through Steam.

[JaoSming]

well my 2003 Toshiba Satellite P25-S507 17" laptop finally died

RIP buddy, it started freezing during the XP scrolling loading screen or only making it a few seconds once it loaded up.


so I got a Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5159. a measly 15", but this fucker is light, bright, and has a sexy full keyboard.

Oh, and I saved $300 on it......soooo




GeForce GTX 560 Ti

As if I couldn't be happy with that, I kept my 8800GT in the computer and am using it as a dedicated PhysX card. As I stated to Ben last night, I only have maybe 3 games that use PhysX, maybe 1 I play regularly, but wth.

[Lean]

Beast! I like what you did with the 8800GT. Did you do it like that of the SLI?

[JaoSming]

nope, you dont use the SLI connector, you just have to plug it in (obviously) and power it and then you can choose in the nvidia settings to use it for physX

[Lean]

Just Cause 2 utilizes PhysX if I'm not mistaken.
