I've had it maybe 3 weeks now, or 4. If I turn them to 75% volume on virtually any song, they "click" and sound all broken. I don't run them at full volume, just usually at most about 75%...
And now they're broken, and I can't listen to them at the volume I'd like. That, and they're pretty average mcaverage when it comes to sound quality.
The iPod itself is fucking awesome, but the headphones are a bit poor. Time to go shopping. !!
Any recommendations that aren't ~$6k per ear?

A few questions, though:
They seem to go nuts enhancing the body, interior, and accessories of the vehicles, but I have yet to see any performance enhancements. Do they replace and/or tune up the engine when they pimp the vehicles? I would imagine putting $40,000 worth of work into a '70's Cadillac but not redoing the engine, transmission, brakes, etc, would be kind of an "all bark and no bite" solution.
Or do they just skip over the technical enhancements because that's not what the audience is interested in? Glossy two-tone paint jobs are cool, but only if there's something decent under the hood to match.

As far as I can tell nothing new has happened for sound cards since the SB Live! (Audigy isnt fooling anyone)

On Half-life 2.
Just read my first HL2 review. I don't want to rant like the common jaded gamer here, but i just can't imagine Valve made a 40 million game and did not include multiplayer.
In stead they ported an old game (CS) into the new engine. Without any noticable modifications. It's just the same ol' game with new graphics. Should be a free add-on, just like CS was for HL1.
I was expecting (and eagerly anticipating) HL2 deathmatch. I wanted to play frenzy again, but this time with the new weapons and gameplay. Hell, i even hoped for a new Team Fortress.
With 40 million dollars and a large team, i just can't imagine that it is that difficult to get a team to do a bunch of deathmatchmaps, balance the weapons a bit, and voilá. Netcode and other multiplayertech is already in the game/engine, so why not use it to make a better game?
The bottom line is that i REALLY wanted to play HL2. Not the single player (i prefer 'human interaction' over scripted events and storylines), but the multiplayer component(s).
Guess i have to wait for Duke 4 to get some of that classic deathmatch fun.

Cos my mom's, isn't going anywhere fast.
Ford Explorer, automatic, older model. All was well and fine yesterday, today we can't get it into reverse or drive (reverse seemed to work for a little while whilst on an incline, but we couldn't shift it back into drive) funnily enough tho, we could shift it directly into first or second... So what up with that?

Gameplay element: So once you hit 100% with the first girlfriend (the only one I've found so far) is there a reason to keep going? I got the reward, yay, but I keep getting updates on her status. Bitch keeps wanting to eat, and my guy was getting fat, so I figure I'm just not going to bother anymore. Do I get more cool shit if I do?
Package stuff: What the fuck. I've gotten almost 40 spray paint tags, and no rewards yet. Do you have to get all of a certain type to see the reward or what?
Thanks for any help with these questions. I'd gamefaqs it, but I don't want anything spoiled, I'm just curious about these bits.

far cry and doom3 look so good i just can't believe it. It's worth replaying these games, because in some ways it's like i'm seeing it for the first time. 640 x 480 with High Quality is as far as i can go in D3 but it makes me salivate.
i can't play the nvidia demos, however. they play so slowly it looks like a sideshow. It makes my anxious for my next machine.

Hello. Are there any Sydney shackers? And if so, are there any Sydney shackers near Crows Nest/North Sydney?
I figure if there are a few of us (I know there's a Coords/Erotic Sock), we could totally go somewhere, and get a beverage, and possibly light some things on fire, and maybe paint some things red. Anyone up for it?

Tonight I joined the tourney. Many of you have played me in random bouts on the Shack servers. What I haven't told you is that I just goof around there. The fact of the matter is, I fucking own at CS. I never talk about it here because being good at CS is like getting pussy from your cousin. But, I'm a mother fucking AK47 god. I've picked up more glock frags then you have auto shotty hits.
So, team 6, you are the first to take on our team 8. Why don't you just go ahead and contact ol what’s his face and let him know you don't want to play. In fact, Ill go ahead and contact ol cool guy and let him know he can just call us tourney champions now. You girls can play for second place.
Now, if you want to take on Team 8, then fine. However, I don't want you to come crying to me or anyone else because you can't have your period anymore because we punched you so hard in the vagina. Go whine to the other sisters in your sorority. Take us on and you won't be Tourney mens, you will be Traney mens. So, BRING IT ON! \m/
