OH MY DEAR HEAVEN SHACK, GUITAR HERO II IS THE MOST AWESOME GAME EVER.

Yesterday my best friend and I went to gamestop and they told us they were out EVERYWHERE and we needed to wait to weeks...so we walked next door to bestbuy where they had 15 on the store floor, grabbed two and left. On our way back to the car, we stopped in gamestop, held up the guitars and laughed at them.

We played co-op and adversial for close to 6 hours before wearing out. The game is so immensely satisfying, we were able to work our way up to medium difficulty before the end of the night, and some of those songs make you feel like a god! I brought it home and my wife was up most of the night jamming on it! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

DSLR Menz

So I want to buy a new DSLR. I had an old Canon 300D that I loved. I sold it because money was tight a couple years ago. Now I am sitting on about 40 million dollars* and want to spend some money.

Nikon D50? Rebel XTi? I would like to keep it under $1,000 w/ lenses. What should I buy? What lenses? I'm not going to be doing a lot of sporting events so I won't need a crazy telephoto lens or anything. Maybe a nice wideangle, macro, every day lens selection.

Also, where are some places I can go to learn more about digital photography? Any books or sites?

I will post nudes of dognose if you answer me!

*this is a bold face lie

What would you buy with some spare money if you had it?

I have quite a few hundred dollars US spare to buy something and I don't know what.

It has to work in Australia so no PS3's or X360's and ideally it should either not rely on 110v power or be switchable - you know with one of those standard plugs (like the Xbox 1 power cable)

I'm really at a loss.

I have a crappy mobile but I kinda like having a crap one, Idon't need a new one.
I am mostly out of PC gaming, so buying a video card seems pointless.
I have enough HDD space, I don't need a burner.
My laptop isn't worth upgrading from 1gb to 2gb, may as well get awhole laptop in 12 months
I have a digital camera

Shirts and shit from theadless and other cool t-shirt sites I'd like but I'm err kinda chunky again so really no use for them for a while.

So whats the best Foo Fighters album? I'm leaning toward The Colour and The Shape. This is nowhere as hard a decesion as what the best Weezer album though.

Laptop/Notebook menz

I'm starting grad school in the fall. I got into the Instructional Technology program. I have a Gateway 3040GZ at the moment and it was fine for just typing papers and doing research for my BA. But I need to get something that has more power for Photoshop, Flash, and other development stuff for classes this fall. I really don't want to go with a Mac (don't kill me). I probably will not be buying until late summer. So, any suggestions would be great.

I have a middle aged man who is a loaded real estate hancho with money to burn and a mid life crisis to enjoy. Today he had issues with his sound not working and when it did work, I confirmed this by showing the ariel atom clip from top gear on you tube.

He sent me an e-mail a few hours later asking if I knew where they were for sale in the US. I did a little research and told him about Brammo Motorsports to which he replied "Good, I'll be up in Oregon in a few weeks. I may just have to drive one of those Atoms home."

Could you imagine having the money to just say "yea, fuck it, I'm buying an Atom!" Could you imagine driving from mother fucking Oregon to Kansas in that thing?
