Yeah, I've already replaced my Blackberry. :v Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but it was a bit outdated, and I was able to snag a Nokia Lumia 521 for ~$75 after sales tax this weekend. It's pretty cool thus far, and the touchscreen keyboard/autocorrect doesn't drive me insane, so I wanna know...

My Galaxy S2 has been in desperate need of replacement for ages now (especially after a recent incident where it ended up in a puddle of water) and I'm too broke to get anything new, but I need something dependable for work. I do lots of text-based correspondence and dispatch sends texts with...

Oh hey guys, what's up? Been a while. I actually can't even remember the last thing I posted here... sorry about that. Stuff out of my control has happened. Here's what's been going on, in essence: my family and I have been dealing with homelessness for about eight months now. Back in July we...

Yep. I passed my EMT-Basic course with an A, got a certificate of completion from the company that was providing it, and yesterday a state EMS representative oversaw my class's skills assessment. I passed. One more written test and I have a certification that's good anywhere in the entire United...

I finally finished a legit project! I'm so proud I can finally make a thread in this board :3 After much blood, sweat, and tears, and finally getting some good pictures from my sister, I am happy to present my mau5head! Worklog can be found here. I will be wearing this at SNAFUcon this weekend...

So my last project was a rip-roaring success. For those of you wondering what happened, I *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ed up the case as of my last update, but I got a new one, but when I finished building the circuit it never worked and I couldn't figure out why. Ended up running out of time and just giving my...

According to my dad, our phone company is going to be dropping its DSL service entirely within the next couple of weeks. This means we need to decide on someone else for internet and soon. Our options are pretty terrible, though. We can either go with Charter or get internet service as part of...

For the past few weeks I've only been able to access MR for a few minutes a day at the most. The rest of the time my browser just gives me errors and tells me it can't access the page. Doesn't matter what browser I use or whether I'm on my desktop or on my phone, I can't get online for more than...

Holy flax, TW's actually doing an electronics project? You bet your ass I am. I've always wanted to make an Atari Punk Console. They're fairly simple, fairly cheap, and easily within my skill range. I've just been too unmotivated until now. You see, this isn't for me -- it's gonna be a...

My family's ditching Sprint in favor of T-Mobile in a few weeks and I'm trying to help my sister determine which of these two phones would better suit her needs. Though I'm leaning towards the Galaxy S2 for my own use, I'm leaning towards the MyTouch 4G Slide for her -- it's got a physical...

Happy now-legal-for-sexings birthday, dood! :awesome: glNjsOHiBYs

So I still have some graduation money left over and I'm going on a trip to my grandparents' at some point in the near future. As such I'm trying to decide which of the two I should possibly pick up and I'd like you guys' input. As it is, I currently only have about enough money for one or the...

Any of you guys played it? It's an utterly silly premise but it's actually tons of fun, and currently very cheap, so I'm definitely picking it up. Actually, would any of you guys happen to be interested in getting it for half-off the current sale price? I'm thinking of buying the four-pack -- I...

Well, for a long time now I've had a desire to sell stuff. (Not on eBay, mind you, but here, mostly.) It'd be a great way for me to get rid of unwanted or unneeded junk and make some money. But... well, I'm honestly not sure where to start. I do have a Paypal account, so receiving money is no...

I've been entertaining the idea of getting myself an Android tablet for a little while now -- since I can't get an Android smartphone it'd be the next best thing. Problem is, I have a rather small budget ($300 or so) and don't know what my options are, really. I thought about the Huawei S7 after...

Valve's releasing a new game on the 19th called Alien Swarm. Best of all, it's free. http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/ I'm totally downloading it -- it looks fun! :awesomeTW:

A few days back, maybe a week or so now, I was bored and decided to play around with Hammer. I've made basic maps before, but nothing that had any actual goals, and when I was forced to reinstall Windows 7 a few months back, I lost the work I had done previously. This time, however, I made a...

Greetings, loyal citizens of MR! On behalf of the moderation and the administration, I am here to announce that we have officially revamped our policy when it comes to issuing warnings and bans. The new system is a simple three-strikes-and-you're-out system, and it works like this: If you...

http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4026&p=1 I'm very much looking forward to it, and that new shotgun is sexy. Discuss.

Anyone else looking forward to this game? I know I am. I loved Fallout 3, and what it sounds like to me is that New Vegas is going to be very similar, except it takes place in retro-futuristic Las Vegas. This should be fun! I preordered it at GameStop today; put $20 down on the Collector's...
