Re: i need to spend some money

Re: i need to spend some money
If you've never had a really nice knife, you don't know what you're missing.
The Spyderco Spyderfly is badass. If you want something more practical, the Leatheman Wave is the best multitool. If you want to have some fun, check out Cold Steel's Specialty Items. Even if you don't buy anything, you should order their free DVD. |

This is what you need. Combo Ms. Pacman/Galaga machine (with the original Pacman game included). Its a cabaret version, so its smaller than a full size game and fits in a smaller space, yet just as addicting. About $2K on eBay brand new. I know you said you didnt want something big, but its fairly light and would be easy to move with a dolly or a couple of buddies. |

Re: i need to spend some money
It definitely rules, though I think I like my pinball machine better. I suck at Ms Pacman for some reason, even though I own the damn game. Stupid ghosts.

Every single employeee from the CEO to the temps have one. Our office is one of the smaller ones too. Big companies love to waste money. |

[ QUOTE ] How's that trebuchet coming along? [/ QUOTE ] Thread hi-jack -- My wife 86ed the idea (My daughter and I have already conspired to make it her 8th grade project). We are researching the best one to build. My daughter selected studying the impact of exercise on heart rate. She will devise an easy activity that will elevate heart rate. The test subject's heart rate will take prior to the exercise and at timed intervals after the exercise. This will measure how long it takes for the heartbeat to return to normal. The results will be segregated by age/sex to see if there are any trends. I will probably start a thread looking for volunteers within certian age ranges who want to help once she comes up with the methodology. (Before the flaming starts, yes I suck at parenting) [/ QUOTE ] Wait, you were planning to build a trebuchet? One of my best friends from HS and his brother are working on a trebuchet that should pretty much demolish the world record for throwing whatever they throw in such contests. You should go ahead and build the treb anyway, they're sweet. |

Re: i need to spend some money

Also, I'm leery of any (Ms) Pac Man games that aren't the original of originals, because any time I play something other than the original, something seems off - either the speeds or the controls or the maze geometry... something. And the bottom line is I want Ms. Pac Man more than anything else. |

I think it'd be badass to build myself one all huge like the X-Men/Simpsons 4-player games that could handle everything from Pac Man to X-Men/Simpsons/TMNT and Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter, NBA Jam, Viper, and everything in between. My wife and my p*ker both loathe you right now. |
Re: i need to spend some money
it seems like with your personality the actual building part would be more rewarding for you than most too

Re: i need to spend some money
They're used to expand your urethra.
Yeah! |
Re: i need to spend some money
I think you need (if you don't have already):
1) awesome speakers (e.g., http://www.klipsch.com/product/index.aspx) 2) awesome headpohes (I am into IEMs, see http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...t=all&vc=1) 3) a bigger monitor other things to consider, - the watch idea, but I have no clue re: watches - designer tuxedo/suits/formal wear - build your own portfolio (only because I am a finance guy) f |
Re: i need to spend some money
This is the watch I would go with.
