I'm in Canada, Montreal to be more precises. Where did you get the iTouch for under 100$?

I guess I should have been more clear. Future Shop is running a promo right now where you can trade in 5 games for an 8GB iPod Touch. Only certain games qualify and I was able to get 5 games for under $100 out of my pocket.

Back in my day, when vinyl was called records, a single was played at 45 rpm and had a large hole in the center that fit on a large spindle adapter or you used individual adapters that snapped into the large hole so they could be played on the small spindle. Anyway, are those modern singles and do they play at 33 rpm (since they have the small hole) or are they still 45 rpm? Thanks.

the size of the hole is irrelevant (did i really just say that?), 7" vinyl plays at 45rpm

No, they're 7" singles from the early 80s played at 45rpm. Some singles were sold where they have a big hole (not sure why), and you need an adapter to play them. However, these records have the small hole, so I don't need the adapter. You can get 12" singles though that are played at 33rpm.

EDIT:And I've just remembered. I've also got a (modern)10" record which plays at 45rpm by the Arctic Monkeys

For my 17" MBP. One-year warranty is up in a few days. I'm going to see if my boss will pay for it since I use my personal MBP at work every day. I sure as hell can't afford it.

Dragon Age 2 PC

Preorder for PC. Been playing the demo and love it. It runs pretty great with 2x AA and settings on very high all around and at 1080p. I just beat part 1 on 360 so I have been getting used to playing it with a mouse and kb, and I think it may be better.

I'm debating this as well. I'm only halfway through SS and haven't touched it in months. Plus I'd have to deal with my girlfriend bitching about me playing 'kids' games :rolleyes:

Bought a new cell holder for my car from "Platinum"...this is one excellent phone holder if you are looking for one that goes on top of the dash board, you can move it to any angle

Lol. I got SS on release and got to Kanto and stopped playing. I got HG for $5 so I couldn't pass that up but I play that more than my SS. Luckily my girlfriend understands that I'm a big nerd so she doesn't give me a hard time about playing Pokemon.

Haha, I am not alone! I pointed Black/White out today while at Walmart and just got the stare of death...:( She won't even stay in the same room as me when I play. Oh well! Time to dig up some old games to trade/sell.
