    I went out to buy SF4 for pc today, I actually wanted to buy it yesterday, but I was looking at the box and was like "nah I'll buy it tomorrow" then I went to see a movie ( ice age 3).

    But anyway, I went to get it today, and I paid for it and the other stuff I got. But then I got outside and I wanted to put the receipt in the game case ( something I always do), only then I noticed I only paid 36 euros instead of ~60.

    Somehow when she scanned the game, she scanned the wrong bar code ( I guess ) and it registered as unknown item, so I just paid for the other stuff.
    I think she noticed it though, cause I was asking her about some other item, which made her make a call about it and she was definitly looking at the screen then.
    But the line was long and the store was pretty much closed, so I'm geussing she just didn't care and proceeded to scan the other stuff, let me pay and leave.

    This made me smile cause it wouldn't have happened if I bought it yesterday ,


    And no I didn't notice the price cause I never pay attention to it when I go to that store, I just use my ATM (debit?) card, dial in the PIN and press ok then leave. Plus I have my headphones on all the time so I don't hear them when they tell me what the price is.
    Still pretty lucky ;P, FREE SF4.

    I think the pc version should be free! I'm just saying that because I have no joystick and I think fighting games should stay in the console universe just as FPS should stay on PC's.

    I'm using my old PS1 Hori joystick for the PC these days, mainly for KOF emulation.

    Pretty good luck there. Let's hope the DVD's not scratched, though. Lest you will need to convince the store that an "unknown item" with a ridiculous price is supposed to be the game.

    If it turns out to be a dud, then just buy it good and proper.

    have you ever tried fighting games on keyboard man? its possible and fun too.
    and its easier, sometimes, to make combos on keyboard than on pad.
    still i prefer pad.
    FPS on consoles are pretty good too.

    A few months back I was on a first dinner date with my ex (@ the time she was my girl) at PF Changs. It was a random night, nothing special or a special reason. While we were being seated, (again randomly) I froze and my girlfriend asked me what was wrong. I laughed and said, there's a girl over there that I know, She kept pestering me because I was laughing and asked me why. Turns out that I was sitting in direct view and angle of a girl I had a huge crush in high school and never asked out. It was really awkward for the both of us. The other girl was on a big family birthday thing for one of her aunts. But she was sitting directly in my view, the whole night. It was pretty nice actually. My last gf was a pretty decent chick, but this girl put her to shame physically. And my ex was 19 and I'm 24. After a while it was gross. The reason I'm happy is because our break up was pretty nice and clean, but I pretty much look at the whole experience as being half assed. Just two days ago, in a row, I saw her at two different stores. This is was a week after my break up from my ex.

    I'm happy because I feel like I finally listened to gods simple obvious signs and asked her out.

    How's PF Chang's? I've always heard it's a sort of upscale but run-of-the-mill type Chinese restaurant, the kind of place you'd take someone who's too picky for Chinese buffet, but too frugal for a really nice restaurant.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    You heard right. That's exactly what it's like. Plus it's pretty hoighty toighty. Like, the cheapest meal is around $13.50, but it's still not much food. And they only give you four dumplings. I felt jipped when I left to be honest. The food is good, but I've actually had better for cheaper from other individually owned places.

    It's weird but the best place I've ever had Chinese are these two restaurants in Vernal, Utah, at the time a city of about 11,000 in northwest Utah. One was a buffet and the other a typical restaurant. Both were run by Chinese families. They had decent prices and excellent food, maybe the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to, and I'm from Houston where there's a thousand restaurants. I've been meaning to visit that middle-of-nowhere shit town just to eat at these restaurants again.

    Well hopefully things work out with your new gf. Will you take her to a nicer restaurant than PFC's?

    Went to a sweet bbq/house party in the OC and ate way too much delicious food, swung by a rooftop party at a ritzy hotel during the fireworks in Hollywood, then enjoyed a hot cappuccino and watched kung fu panda in a jacuzzi on the roof of a very swanky house overlooking LA.

    Best 4th of July ever.

    Damn dude. That much fun/partying should be illegal.

    You were watching Kung Fu Panda in a jacuzzi on the roof of a "very swanky house overlooking LA" with a "hot cappuccino" instead of getting laid with the girls there, and you called this the "best 4th of July ever"?

    I have lost all faith in humanity.

    Day two at the swanky house. This time it was a bbq party with billiards, pool volleyball, karaoke, some more jacuzzi, and then finally some texas hold'em.

    Damn that place is so awesome. If I were to guess the value of it, I'd say its somewhere between $10M - $20M. The guy even has lcd tv entertainment systems in every room, including the patio, rooftop (hence kung fu panda), and the master bathroom. I should be able to pull some pics of it off facebook shortly.

    Oh and he owns a Lamborghini. lol. Must be awesome to be rich.

    @enkoujin: That's quite a base thing to say, especially coming from a virgin.

    Hmm... After careful analysis of Assertn's posts, I've reached the conclusion he was actually telling about his own new apartment, party, and car. But wanting to appear to have some modesty and in order to not make gotwooters too green with envy, he opted to mask the situation by referring to the owner in third person, as if it was actually somebody else, not our very own Assertn himself.
