I picked these up today:

Which comes with all of these.

For $32.

I owned none of these on PC, and I only owned Thief on the Xbox One.


Also, because tax season is the best season:

225/40R18 Toyo Extensa HP tires, because I wanted something affordable with decent tread life, and without too much grip. The tread patter being cool is a bonus, though.

From Carid with free mounting, balancing, TPMS install(sensors cost extra), and nitrogen fill. Just got the order confirmation and ship date estimate, so they should be on their way by the 15th. First time I've ever put this kind of financial investment into a car and I can't wait, she's gonna look good with proper white wheels, instead of plasti-dipped stock.
 
Chips, salsa, beer, Dew, fruity cocktail, and...what the hell is that?
The Nature Valley granola bars? My wife gets breakfast at her conference but I have to scrounge for myself and being cheap, I don't want to eat out every morning. Bonus, it gets me out the door faster to explore. :)
By the way, I'm assuming you already have the umbrellas for the mai tais?
Didn't see those at Walmart. I should ask for some from the bartender. 💡

Audio Technica ATR2500-USB.

Was leaning on getting either a Samson Go or a Blue Snowball but after a couple of hours of research I decided to go a bit above budget.
 
nitrogen fill

That is a waste of money to be honest.

When they first fit the tires air is inside so unless they remove said air or install the tires in a vacuum there will still be normal air inside.
and 75% of air is nitrogen anyway.

It would be a waste of money if I actually payed for it. It was included with the tires and wheels, but it doesn't make much difference to me, either way.
 
Decided to pick up 3 more tickets to the Clips game tonight since my buddy wasn't going. Grabbed a white YUMS snapback afterwards to heal my wounds from the loss.

Synology DS215J 2-bay NAS with 2 x 3TB (RAID 1).

Networking this at home and using it to centralise and store our ever increasing HD movie and music collections thus freeing up the space on our laptops and iPads. Most of our media is stored in cloud storage, but this is just more convenient and faster plus it frees up my laptop when uploading large files to the cloud.
👍 Be interested in how you find it. Was just looking into a similar WD cloud drive the other day.
OK, here's a follow up on this - absolutely love it. Works beautifully and was a sinch to set up. The built in system and control panel are a universe away from any of the 'professional' NAS systems I've used for work, plus it sets up your router for you too for external access and cloud services.

I can now view (upload and download) all my HD movies, photos, music and documents anywhere. It seamlessly streams to my Samsung amp (via SMART hub), so that's the main TV sorted, and just popped up as a media server on my PS3 upstairs for the TV in the bedroom. It also streams to all the mobile devices and laptops in the house. And the best bit - I can now log in and stream or download my movies from anywhere in the world (with a half decent wifi signal or cable broadband). It tries to work over 3G but I guess I'll have to wait for 4G later in the year to enjoy that experience.

If you're in the market for a solid, well made, well thought out and supported NAS for backups and/or media streaming, you can't go wrong with this. OK, not the cheapest out there, but I can't believe there are many better than this.

Now it's time to start ripping *cough* 'backing up' all my DVDs and Blurays.

Don't update your PS3, unless you like watching movies with the sound being forced muted by the brilliant anti piracy crap on the PS3

Hmm OK, I'll look out for that. So far there hasn't been a problem but I've not yet tested any of the movies I've purchased from Amazon or using an Ultraviolet code, only one's I've ripped from disks.
