OK, you know what today is. Time to get out and beat the great unwashed to all those slightly marked down loss leading items in hopes of saving some money on your Xmas spending.

So, I bought myself a new computer for a pathetic $100 off, which didn't even cover the sales tax on it. But I needed a more powerful and bigger monitor for my Photoshop work.

Well, what all did you manage to buy this year? Make that list and check it twice. Or the Evil Santabot will come and kill you!

I didn't really see anything worth running over either. I did pick up a clock radio and some 100' of garland that was half off, but I think it was like that anyways.

I also got a barely used blackhawk drop leg holster for $40.

I do all my Christmas shopping online. But I did see a line of morons stretched all around to the back of Toys R Us, and a smaller, less moronic line in front of Best Buy, sitting in folding chairs with snuggies. That was around 10 o'clock and they were waiting for 4 am openings.

lol

Glad I'm not them.

After the money i poured into this computer i will never buy a pre-made computer again. Thats why despite the urge to just buy one, i am saving up for my laptop that can be on equal with my desktop.

Plus the fact my over exessive need for more power is going to lead me to basically scrap every part of my current computer except the hard drive, power supply, graphics card, the disc drive and the all in one card reader. I'm going to need a new motherboard with at least two PCI-express slots so i can have two GE-force 9600s running, if i get the money, a corei7 processor and 4gbs of ddr3 ram.

And i will have all except probably just one 9600 equivilant in my laptop. So yeah it is gonna be a good chunk of money. If i don't go the core i7s with the computers its gonna be quad cores and then i will have to buy more motherboards later when i switch to i7 because they are different sockets.

I was PLANNING on pulling targets for cash today, but nobody was hiring. So my brother and I went to Fry's Electronics and ended up buying a 2TB SATA drive. $130, bitches. One-day-only sale. It was surprisingly quiet for Black Friday, but it was also 9AM on a work day. I was GOING to buy a phone, but my dad's being a b***h about it. My current one has a shattered hinge, but he doesn't want to get into another contract, so he's forcing me to buy a broken phone of the same model and cannibalize the hinge. I guess it works, but instead of getting a shiny new phone tomorrow, I get a POS next week, AND I have to disassemble it.

You watched it, too? I loved it, and when it started coming on at 4 I was really pissed. So I actually had the episodes taped every morning.

Ah... tapes. There's something you never see anymore.

I did not participate in Black Friday, but I did buy the Codename: Panzers Commander's Edition the day before Thanksgiving. Tis' enough for me, except that the Phase 2 mission editor doesn't seem to want to work. Assistance?

I didn't see this post.
2TB drive for $130?!! WHERE WAS I?

RAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE

I so could have used that.
I really need to back up all my stuff and reformat and switch to Windows over 9000.

Now that you mention it Armas I think I remember it being at 3:00 once.
Had some show... Blue something, it had aliens and mechs on a planet, Cowboy bebop and Full Metal Alchemist.
Ahh... back when [adultswim] had more than two good shows.

360.
My computer would melt if I tried to play any game more complex than the original Wolfenstein on it.
