Which is an ECU flash unit I can use to remap the turbo on the Corsa. :)
 
What's with the weird shelf thing you've got going on? Did there used to be a pool back there or something? What's in between the white wall and the fence?

I guess when the house was built the land in the backyard was levelled out and since our neighbours yards weren't, it created that awkward shelf. My favourite part is the cat doesn't know how to walk on the grass.

It's where I hide the dead bodies. And probably where Jack and his friends throw up when they are drunk.

And it's not a shelf, it's a retaining wall. Like Jack said the block was levelled out to make it usable. Don't really wanna walk out my back door and roll down a hill.
 
I way prefer my PS3. The controller isnt so stiff and I am used to the monitor in my room that I play it on, not the LCD in the lounge room. I am not sure why, but the 360 almost feels a generation behind the PS3.

Haha I'm the exact opposite, I hate the PS3 controller compared to the Xbox one. If you're ever on XBL add me, would be keen for a few Halo/cod games.

I am not sure yet. I dont even know if it will get hooked up to the net or not...ill be sure to add you if it does though :)

Also, am I correct in saying that when I connect it to live for the first time with the new xbox experience installed that I get a free month or so of gold live?

Just bought me some Lizard Skins Logo Lock-On White grips for the bike.
The annodised red and blue barend/lock-on bit sealed the deal.
:D

I'm the opposite, the 360 controller feels much more weighty and well put together, when it comes to FPS games I'm miles better with the 360 sticks as they seem more responsive. The 360's online system is also more efficient IMO, especially when you want to start a party and get them into a game together while keeping the chat in the party.
 
Nothing special, food from Wendy's, some candy and gas from MC Food gas station. Since I'm a huge fan of flag collecting, five historical flags I purchased on Thursday, arrived today. 4"x6" stick flags of Romania (1965-1989), Bulgaria (1971-1990), East Germany (1959-1990), Socialist Yugoslavia (1943-1992), Afghanistan (1979-1987) - hopefully no one gets offended, but here's a pic of them:

Dick Smith Electronics "Noise Isolating Earphones v2. My friends said that they looked like $30NZD ones, to $50 ones, and one even said $80NZD!

I got them for $13.
 
Epic baseball game is epic!

I bought this game a few weeks ago. It is epic! The coolest feature is the ability to play as an Astros team that actually wins. The first thing I did in franchise mode was sign a bunch of all stars to play for the Stros. Right now, I've got the hottest team in baseball, and that's the way it should be!

Ya I put myself in the game and I'm doing the Road to the Show mode. It's a lot of fun especially since I got drafted by the Tigers!
 
I know a 19" widescreen monitor is already a bit small for today's standards, but I was using a 17" CRT 4:5 screen until it died last month, and then I used a 14" CRT until I got a new monitor last sunday, so it's pretty big to me:

I was thinking of getting a 22" monitor but my video card wouldn't be able to run my games very well in Full HD resolution.

That's what sucks about LCDs. I'm on a 19" monitor, since I don't want to shell out the big bucks for graphics cards.

I got drafted by the Yankees. So, my number one competitor for the prime catcher spot is Jorge Posada:scared:! I've got some serious work to do. I wonder if there is an option to hire someone to bash Posada's shin while he is warming up. That would really help me alot! One thing I do like about RTTS, is when I hear Matt Vasgersian say my real name!
