Forza Horizon

Fantastic game.

For $80 (I think that's like 50 euros), I got 3 blazers, a legit wool winter coat, a tie, and a pair of gray leather dress shoes.

You'd have been so proud of me, Louis.

Just got Limbo for my Macbook, really cool game, if only it was a little longer.

I'm always proud of you MA.

Blazers were from Goodwill (thrift store). I was in the market for a tweed sport coat, and found a lot more than I expected to for my odd, lanky proportions. The one seems to have been tailored for me. One nice professional 3-button gray, one light gray/brown tweed, one dark brown tweed that needs a bit of tailoring. $18.50 for all three.

Coat and tie were from Marshall's. Coat was originally from Guess, which sells theirs for around 150. Got it for $40. The tie was another $7.

Shoes were from DSW. Here's the receipt:

"You saved $167.01"


Boom.

*silently waving at turbin3* =D

Just adopted a 3 week old puppy. On her way north as we speak from a rescue in SC.

^ beats everything in this thread so far. That is, unless there were kittens posted. Which I'm too lazy to check ;P

Haha I'll have to agree with you. I'm a sucker for kittens, but Daisy takes the cake. Weighing in at a massive 5 pounds lab/corgi/terrier mix.

I thought that was you on Facebook! I couldn't match the name to the NE member

Guess I don't have any excuse not to play Rct again now.

Raspberry Pi, small Linux computer the size of a credit card A Christmas Present, hope to get to mess around with it a little bit. It can't run RCT (yet) but there are a lot of fun embedded projects I want to use it for. A few people on my dorm floor have used them to control lights in their room or locks on their door, I may do something simmilar

I want to know more about this. What all can you do with it?
Also, I bought Forza Horizon.

Horizon is great

Yea Horizon was great until it wouldn't let me play it no more! "Profile has been tampered with"

@Austin55: Actually just got it working a few days ago (non-compatible sd card, my derp) but it's a working (albeit a little slow) linux machine. It also comes with a desktop, so it looks just like a normal computer, but a lot of stuff needs the command line and some programming skill. Can't play RCT on it (or any linux that is) but it can access the internet (NE loads on it pretty well), use word/excel type software, make and play simple games, act as a website server, and coolest of all, there are general purpose I/O pins available for cool electronics projects. You need to know a little coding (and a bi-directional logic level converter, and they're really inexpensive), but it's pretty cool what you can do with it. Also it's cheap, only $35, but the hardest part is getting one, they don't make a lot of them and they sell out quickly each time an order comes in.

Interesting. So what does it do that my laptop doesnt?

Horizon disappointed me with the car selection. Mazda Speed 3? VW GTI MK6? Merc SLS? SLR? 370Z? I don't have live either so I get no expansions. And no tuning? Would make speed traps, offroading and drifting better no doubt.

I actually just got a new mouse as well. Bought it with my aunt's "I won't give you money because I'm afraid you'll spend it on drugs" Target gift card. Even though I don't do any drugs.
