    I can relate to your roomy... I hated alot of popular things before giving them a chance. Just because everyone was doing "it" I didn't want anything to do with them. Now most of them make me who I am today. I hated Pokemon then got a copy of Blue for free and was addicted ever since. Same...

    Cool thanks! That was simple enough.

    I finally got a XBOX360!

    Just bought a used XBOX360 Elite 120GB. It includes FF13, Halo 3, 1 wireless controller, HDTV cable and a Gold Live account with a few months remaining. He also threw in a PS2 + FFX + 1 controller all for $175. So far everything seems in pretty good condition but I haven't played around with...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'Gotta Catch 'Em All!'

    Yes, ever since I discovered you can obtain things through the internet rather than buying so many years ago. I was young, naive, and didn't have much money so it became 2nd nature. I've only recently started paying for games as I've come to be able to afford it. I mainly play PC games now...

    Gotta Catch 'Em All!

    Well, I knew it was going to happen and of course it did... I got a Pokemon game! This is now my 2nd official DS game purchase. Yeah, I know... arrrrgh! It's the least I can do since I've picked up such a bad habit over the years. This game helped spawn my love for the GBC and got so many...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'First DX Purchase'

    Thanks again for the advise, but it seems I broke the ribbon cable as most say to try and avoid. I actually finished and got the screen back together, but noticed that the screen was dirty under the protector. I reopened it cleaned the screen. The ribbon cracked as I was putting the cable...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'First DX Purchase'

    Lol, too late, that's exactly what I did. I'm just now getting a hold of the good stuff, since the first one I got was too thick, and now I have another problem. It seems the soldering iron loves the wire so much it doesn't want to let go of it. I managed to solder all four wires on after...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'First DX Purchase'

    Thanks guys. I tried to melt some of the original solder off the old screen but as I thought this didn't work. I'm going to head to a hardware store tomorrow and grab some solder wire. Hopefully nothing gets lost as it's in peices all over my room.

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'First DX Purchase'

    Well update, I finally received my package. I've successfully disassembled the DS and about to swap out the screens. It seems there is a problem. As UltraMagus stated I didnt need the paste but I needed soldering wire. I want to finish this ASAP to avoid losing pieces of the DS. Can I still...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'I'm father for second time...'

    Yeah, congrats man! I can't wait until I'm ready to have some kids. It needs to be soon because I'm getting pretty old. You have the perfect setup one boy and one girl! Do you plan on having anymore? PS: Um, first time I noticed, but do all newborns not have nipples?

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'First DX Purchase'

    I read that minor soldering is required to attach the speakers onto the new screen. I do have minor soldering experience. My boss kept an iron that was actually a cheaper version of the one I got at the workplace. I couldn't adjust the temperature on it, but was able to fix my EZIV slot-2...

    First DX Purchase

    I just ordered all the tools required to fix my broken DSL (check sig). It came up to about 25USD with free shipping from DX. It's my first purchase from this site and I was wondering how long it took for most people to receive their order here in the US. I've heard like 3-4 weeks, which is...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'Going back to school'

    Thanks again Fast, that link is perfect! I'm probably going to take the test ASAP, so I better study up. Hopefully, if my brain still works like it used to, it will all flood back to me like it was just yesterday.

    Going back to school

    I dropped out my first year of college due to work related issues. It was either work or school so I had to choose work since I was on my own. I finally qualify for FAFSA this year, so it will help me get back on track. I applied to a community college to ease me back into the student...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'I got a DSi!'

    Yeah, I was thinking of repairing the broken DS I have and trade that in. Since I decided at the last minute I couldn't. A funny thing though, when I returned home for the charger, I thought about switching the DS with the broken one. I knew he wasn't going to recheck it, but I didn't want to...

    I got a DSi!

    Well I had decided to wait to get the DSi until a decent hack was available. Every day/night since the release date, I've been wondering if I made the right choice. Well yesterday I decided to go ahead and get one, being that today was the last day for the $90 DS Lite trade-in deal at...

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'DSi Midnight Launch!'

    I was just on my way there to reserve mine. The bus I was catching came early so I missed it (I was 3 mins early). The next one isn't for another hour, so I canceled that plan. I guess I'll just wait until a decent hack comes out.

    Comment by 'cornaljoe' in 'I have 3 AP classes, 2 club presidencies, and a job...'

    My AP teachers were great! My calc teacher was also completing her MD after school. So anytime someone complained about the work she had a way to relate. My physics teacher reminded me of Bill Nye the science guy for some reason. My fav teacher of all time.

    Wow, that does sound insanely hard. It seems it makes you actually apply yourself. I was the type of student who didn't really try too hard. I just naturally got good grades. I rarely/never studied, only paid attention in class and did my homework. Edit: Yeah, but you only get college...
