The April Fool

Kenichiro Nishihara, Pretty cool dude.

Its april fools, but nothing interesting has happened yet. I was kind of expecting something funny to happen, quite a bit disappointing.

I sat through 20 minutes of my electronics lecturer rapping about engineering and electronics while the guys in front of me were on their netbooks going through a webcam chatroom. they met at least 2-3 people just filming themselves having a wank. and they found it entertaining. very sad. The lecturer eventually got booed off, it was shit, to be expected from a 50 year old Caucasian lecturer.

I picked up 3 volumes of 20th Century boys and 1 volume of Hellsing for $15, pretty good price if you ask me, finally got some more manga to add to my somewhat small collection. i've only got the deathnote boxset, Airgear vol 1, Fruits basket vol 1, Sundome 1-5, Kare Kano 1-3, .Hack//Legend of the twilight bracelet boxset and Beck 1-2. I don't know why, but manga prices are pretty overdone here in australia, cheapest i've seen a volume at a retail giant is $15, average price is around $20. Thankfully i've found a place that does manga for fairly cheap, average price is around $12. though i probably won't be buying anything from them until they get more Yotsuba volumes, they've only got volumes 1 and 2 right now.

I also finally got my motherboard back from RMA, i think they just kind of repaired it. its the exact same motherboard i had before, i can tell as there is a bit of thermalpaste around the socket. i would have rather a brand new motherboard but meh. I'm waiting for a Aftermarket cooler for my 4850 to come before i put my motherboard back in. at stock fanspeeds my 4850 tips over 100C on load :S.

Holy crap, ~$20 for just manga? New they're like $10.50 new here. Why do prices suck in the southern side of the world? Like my friend paid some outlandish price for a new 360, let alone to get a game for it. I kinda miss the used bookstore that I used to live near before I moved across the country, stuff was so cheap, then again it was a 'gently' used book store. Found some pretty awesome art books about Gundams, they I apparently lost over the years.

War has two volumes of Prince of Tennis he borrowed from me a looooong time ago; ended up letting just him keep them after all that time. Plus he moved away. ;_;
 
The whole Capcom vs. SNK 3 "leak" thing really got me angry. There are some things you just should never joke about, ever.
goddamnit why ;_;

Australia is considered too remote to start up their own factories and shit, most things get shipped in and companies feel the need to mark up prices by 50 to 100%. its pretty shitty, the australian dollar is pretty strong these days. in the past 2-3 years i've been buying more and more stuff online, ends up cheaper by a fair bit even when shipping is included

cvs3 was a possibility, though the "leak" was pretty stupid tbh.

.HACK.

NOW I WANT TO PLAY ALL THE PS2 GAMES.

THAT'S ANOTHER WHAT, 300 HOURS?[/quote]

main reason i don't want to start the games. rather read/watch the anime. i hear the games can be real bastards as well in terms of difficulty.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
