Usually, during the summer time, I like to treat myself to a little gift. Ever since I get the 10,000 bucks a year, I like to go all out for one thing during the summer. Last year, I got a 500 TV, which is beautiful. What should my next one be?

Video Camera

Voted "A nice Camera"..

Video camera.

nice camera

interesting hmm

DS Lite

Video Camera.

Handheld consoles suck.

I would say Guitar Hero 2, but wait for Rock Band.

I have a video camera. A shitty one, but i have one.

Photos are worth more, most of the time.. And easier to deal with and look at than a video..

Most photos are forgotten over time unless you know a damn about good photography.

A video gives you something to remember people exactly as they were, how they looked, how they sound, how they act. A photo can only give you so much.

Not to mention with a good video camera you can make short films for fun.

Not to mention with a good video camera you can make short films for fun. All true. I have a decent video camera. I need to just trick it out, again. I've lost all the cables to hook it up to my TV/Computer and i've lost the software that came with it. I need to get all of that back, somehow.

DS + Pkmn. 131

Alex, if you buy Pokemon like Barker wants...I will smack you in the face with a tire iron repeatedly.

You could buy a DS and Guitar Hero 2

I need GH2. I had it, and some drunken idiot messed it up. No, it wasn't me.

Wait for Rock Band, I'm telling you, it's going to rock so hard! I was watching it on the Microsoft Press Conference last night. 131

What about a whole entertainment system to go along with your TV?

Surround sound and such?

I've seen rock band stuff, though. Looks BAMF

BAMF = Badass Mother****er?

The Halo footage was pretty good, but I'm more excited about Assasin's Creed, they just need to fix that whole techy looking character focus.

No, my TV is out in the living room of my apartment. Unless my roommates want to invest, they wont get the honor of me essentially buying them an entertainment system.

I see.

I'd say go for the video camera then.

Or like a pool table?

Pool Table would be sweet. I have no place to put it, though. Plus I have friends that own a pool hall about a mile away from where I live.

Damnit. All my good ideas are sucking.

Do you and your roommates play poker?

I'm pretty sure you can buy your own poker table like the kind you see at Las Vegas or on the WSOP like I do.

But if that idea doesn't work out, then yeah, go for the video camera.

I'm the opposite, I'm not very good at FPS's.

Right now though, I'm going to be getting more for my Wii, just watched the Nintendo Press Conference.

They love poker. I don't. So, no thanks.

I respect your honesty.

Just don't listen to Barker. Nobody likes Barker, Barker is an ahoo.....look at this. I like this!

So did I. That WiiFit thing was nuts. And that Wheel for the new Mario Kart. I wish i had my Wii back. We sold it due to my lack of funds and an upcoming rent check due. I respect your trying to give me advice.

Yeah, I'll definitely be getting WiiFit, that's ****ing awesome and it'll help me with staying interested in my work outs.

How about that Wii Zapper?

Most of the time, not really.. But with the right kind of camera, they actually look pretty good.. Too bad those is way over what's an acceptable price

Thank god for G4. Sony better bring the butter. Nintendo's press conference was sweet.

Back to the Microsoft Press conference. Resident Evil 5.

I was pissed off at G4 last night when they kept going to commercial and we'd miss out on so much stuff!

Today I'm watching them live online so I get everything.

30 minutes until Sony. w00t I don't even have a Sony console anymore but I'm still excited because competition drives the industry. I want Sony to have something kick ass so Microsoft will have to step up their game too.

I'm thinking, motion sensor controller? No? Yeah, that probably wouldn't work. I would like something cool, though. Not just new face plates.

I'm wondering what Sony is bringing to the table. Should be good stuff.

We already know about the price drop...so they probably have something even bigger under the table since they released that big news already.

Maybe some more information on games which will use the new Eye Toy.

Lets hope they try to revolutionize their "Home" online multiplayer garb, to try to compete with Xbox Live.

Did you hear the rumors that they're making free gold memberships to live?

I'm not excited about Home, it's too gimmicky and looks like a knock off of The Sim's...but it's only a glorified menu.

No I hadn't heard that. It would be nice and save me money each month.

Yeah. Saving all that money could get me one tank of gas.

I'm pretty pumped for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I like the COD games.

All depends on what you really like. Personally, I would invest in home-entertainment instead of hand-held consoles. Costs a bit more, but big screen, 3d sound, couch-comfort and just better games seem worth it.
Camera's are great too, but only if you really use em. Video-cams can be even better, but again only if you really find a use for one.

*goes off to watch Sony PC*

I missed it. I went out to eat. doh

I'd say a video cam or laptop (if you don't have one). Perhaps you can fix Betsy (your car) up; either three options would be great.

My car is lame, and I like it that way. I have a laptop/video cam.

What do you drive, Rev?

1997. I believe its a v4

I have both a great digital camera and a great video camera, and to be honest I get more joy from the digital camera.

I don't really have a need for Video/Camera, except for naked pictures to send to random underage girls on myspace.

Ahem.

Honestly, though. I'm not much of a photographer.

I bought a digital camera thinking I would try my hand at photography but it went **** up. I use it all the time though to take photos of my friends and family and stuff. If you don't think you'll use it that much buy a DS Lite, Guitar Hero or maybe... a giant Pacman machine!

Shit, if I had that much room, I would buy a pinball machine. My friend is selling me a nearly new one for 150. Sunnuvabetch

Pretty good deal, well depending on the condition. I used to play on a little handheld pinball game when I was a kid all the time... I was a lonely child.

I got a 98 Honda Legend, V6 engine.
