I'ma start this weekend off with some "wt*?" and some "son of a *****..."

First the "wt*?"

ENVY MY AWESOMENESS. I joined the league of 12 inch Spartans.

And your wt* moment brought to you by, TJ MAXX

Now, umm, this is the second time I've found an exclusive at TJ Maxx, that wasn't supposed to be at TJ Maxx. And yes, you read right, $13. I paid a little over half of WMs retail price for these. Best part, they had 3 more there. They had some 4" Halo figures too but it was all MC or Olive Rogues, no exclusives, which I searched for.

Here's some size comparison and out of box photos.

I have one of my running theme pics done, but I have to adobe it and my adobe isn't working right at the moment, no idea why. So when thats fixed I will be putting the other pic up, sometimes this weekend I hope.

New Spartan photo.

I figure hes worth putting in the group shot, for now.

And here's the "son of a *****..." moment.

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u347/Trunks3540/Buffy.jpg

Why in the blue fricken bloody hell would they wanna A, make a new Buffy movie with NONE of the original ANYTHINGS, and B, fashion the ****ing thing after Twilight? Needless to say, there's alot of pissed off Buffy fans, and I'm one of em. I agree the movie needs to be redone, I have the original and it isn't the most amazing thing ever, no where near as good as the show. But at least put Sarah Michelle in it. She IS Buffy. Always has been, in just about everyones mind. This is almost sacraligous. And very irritating.

Anyway, Weekend thread is early, cause most of us, including myself, will be busy for some time tomarrow. So, another early bird for your virgin eyes. Have at you...

Oh yea, GO CHECK OUT GDI!!! I NEED PEOPLE TO SIGN UP!!!

That is all.

Oh yea, and some of those Mark VI Blues, had the sticker in a different position, and it STILL has WM exclusive ON THE BOX. That sticker covers it over, but its under there, trust me.

TJ Maxx and Marshalls(same company) and another have been getting a lot of WM exclusives lately... I heard on the radio a lot of companies lately are liquidating a lot of their extra stock on liquidator auctions earlier than they normally do, so it'll probably be a trend for awhile at least...

I doubt that Buffy remake will go anywhere. Non-fans don't care and Buffy fans hate the idea with every ounce of venom in their bodies. The movie has no audience.

I've been watching Public service announcements on youtube all day. You know, the gory "shock" ones. :D:spawnskul

I hear fireworks going off outside. I go out occasionally to watch them.

I might stay out when they start lighting the Artillery Shells. :D

We had a 45 minute drive home from a party and got to see 3 towns do their fireworks show. Pretty entertaining stuff. Still hear them shooting artillery off.

I'll watch it on DVD, but I probebly won't like it. If its any good I might buy it. But I will not pay theatre prices. I wouldn't go to the theatre for TF2, why would I for that? I love the original Buffy series... I'm even gonna buy the 2 games. I have the whole series on DVD and the original move and S 1-4 of Angel as well. Just need S5 of Angel in a slim cases box set and I'll have it all. :D

Anyone sign up for you on GDI?

Not yet, but the YouTube videos said sometimes it takes time for people to decide, as well as get other people to sign up. $10 a month is worth it to try for a while. If I don't get anyone in like 6 months to a year and I still haven't done anything with the website I probebly will drop it. But I want people to start signing up. Once people start signing up it gets easier. And I don't know why they won't. Its actually a pretty nice group of people. You can email some of em back and forth and meet people you normally wouldn't. It's good for networking and selling things online. You should sign up and try to get some people under you too. I really like the way they work. And they didn't take my $10 till the 7 days was up, and thats all they took. So far they've stuck to their deals. Everyone I've talked to has had 0 problems with them.

Joss Whedon sucks anyway.

I love Joss and everything I've seen of his... :(

Oh yea, here's my 4th story. Went to see fireworks downtown, and when we were there this dude kept laser poiting the gf in the boobs. Well she called him out and yelled at him from across the street and he came over. I thought she was gonna kick his ass. Then he recognized me as being one of my old stomping buddies and apologized and was all nice and stuff afterward and we got to talking bout old times for a little while.

My first thought was "oh **** here we go again..." And I seriously didn't wanna get into a fight tonight. Thought it was funny that it was one of my friends from forever ago. Small ass world...

I used to watch my sister play the Buffy game. Forgot all about it. From what I remember it was a decent game.

I know right?

Yea. I read some reviews and they're not too bad from what I've read. Maybe not worth the $50 they were when they first came out, but possibly worth 10-20 on ebay or something. And the 2nd one has multiplayer modes that seem pretty cool.

I really like that pic of Hawkman. It looks really good.

Thanks, man.

Oddly enough, that's the one that took the least amount of effort. :D

I now have an XBL gamertag ladies and gents. It's about fricken time right?

I'm not playing anything yet though cause I have to get some MPs before I buy the mythic maps and are able to play fully online. I know people don't like playing with other people that don't have all the maps. So I'm gonna buy those before I actually start. And I have to finish Twilight Princess too, which should be a few days.

Aye, some retailers were liquidating back way before the 1st of the year in order to try to get their inventory levels down ASAP and minimize the stuff they were holding post-Xmas.

I got you both added to my list. Got Rzeznikk and Nick too, although I don't quite remember who Nick is. I also bought all the maps and map packs. So I got everything. I just probebly won't be on for a few days to a week or so. Playing Twilight Princess right now and I wanna finish it before I start live. If its anything like Halo 2, I won't wanna put it down, EVER!!! Lol.

Hopefully they get some more good stuff then, exclusive and otherwise.
