got your PM about the games. i'll PM you back my list when i get back home. although NFS: PS i haven't even cracked open the seal. to top it off, i've had it for nearly a year already
so, if i keep neutral karma i get all 3 acheivments: the good, neutral, and bad? had i known that, i woulda been trying my hardest to stay in the neutral for my lvl 8. i'm already half way past lvl 9 right now. i'm actually going through the anchorage alaska bit.
oh, also, is there a place that's just loaded up on bobby pins? i keep breaking them and now i'm nearly out of them. any tips or tricks on picking locks to make it easier? i sometimes have a bit of a hard time even when the lock is labeled as "easy"

Don't worry, I know how to unwrap games It isn't worth anything as a trade anyways, so you might as well pull the wrapping off.
on the Karma thing.....No, you have to play the game in three directions by loading the save point right before level 8. What I was suggesting is to save right before level 8. Then proceed three times from this game save (once you earn the achievement, load the game save and work towards the next acheivement). For the first time through from the game save, steal some items from the bar or someones home in Megaton so that you get to evil karma then get to level 8 (achievement unlocked). Load save the second time, give some pure water to the guy outside of Megaton (you cna get free pure water from your android servant in your home) and get to Positive Karma by level 8 (acheivement unlocked), then Load save the final time and proceed with your Nuetral Karma to level 8 (acheivement unlocked) and just proceed with this game save until you reach the same point just before level 14.
on the Bobby Pins....I would suggest doing a Youtube search for suggestions with the lockpicking. I cant really describe how I do it, but I never break pins on anything lower than hard. Once you develop this strategy, you'll just laugh at thinking about how hard it was for you at the beginning. You can always resort to the save before you lock pick strategy....that way, if you run through too many pins, you can reload your game save and try again. Just know, the lockpick mini game is random, so even if you save/reload your game save, the lockpick location will change (it is not set by programming for each lock, it is random...always).
There is a hint on the computer terminals though....back out before you use the 4th guess. There is no penalty for backing out after your 3rd guess (before the 4th which permanently locks the computer). This is also random so when you re-enter this minigame, the words may be the same, but the answer is not necessarily the same.
A suggestion on computers that unlock safes. For double XP.....pick the safe with a bobby pin first (get the xp for doing so), then do the computer second (get the xp for doing so). If you simply go to the computer first, you only get xp for that, as the safe will be unlocked and you can't pick it.

You got $24 for Call of Duty 4 and you're lucky you even got that after I worked my "girly powers" on them!

yah, i have a PS3. but, i finished Force Unleashed 2x's already, and Midnight Club:LA kinda fizzled out fast.
i needed something to play and never really finished Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, so i fired up the PS2- since my saves are all there- and holy crap batman! i can't believe i ever put this thing down. it is SO MUCH FUN.
they have a PS3 version, but i want to finish off ALL the PS2 versions first or the superb graphics on the PS3 will ruin the PS2 versions for me. as is, this game doesn't really look too dated on the PS2, graphics wise. i mean, u can tell it's PS2, but it still looks really damn good.
i will go as far as saying that this is probably THE funnest console game i've ever played, period. hehehehe... enough to entice u guys?

i would have gotten any one of the Play Station consoles had it not been for the shitty design of the controller. to me, the PS controller is by far the WORST controller design EVER! and to top it off, they keep using the same shitty design since their original Play Station.
MS did it right with the original "big" controller and then the smaller s-controller. and now with the 360, they've enhanced the controller design to be even better still.
Nintendo had a thing going with the N64, but once the Game Cube came out, and now the Wii, i am steering clear of Nintendo until they launch a console with a good controller.
and yes, the design and feel of the controller is what makes the console to me.
although, i might be picking up a ps3 as a BR player for my new TV. or, i might just spend about $100 less and get a standalone BR player. i think that's the better option for me anyways

wow, really good price!
this is what i bought with my Mac Pro 8 core last december... they were on-sale at the time for $500 each i think... what i like is they have HDMI and dual dvi inputs so u can hook up multiple computers.

Hey Jedi, i put Keith in the wall. it was on accident, but I did bump him in the wall.
well actually I didnt, I bumped him going into the turn. It looked to me that he recovered fine. I was very surprised when he hit the wall coming out of the turn.
all well, he is faster then me, it was fun to take him out while I could.
I had 2nd fastest lap on the 2nd track. .1 seconds behind Keith.
I had 3rd fastest lap on the 1st track. .2 seconds behind the leader .2seconds behind the leader.
Keith I will barrow Fallout.

the pump went out, WTF?!
call up Paul @ Mazmart and get their upgraded pump, it rocks.
I didn't replace mine, had Yoshiya do it @ Neptunespeed but the process seems pretty simple.

OEM pump I can order online plus get new hoses for $120
Other than the suspension, every dime I've spent on "Upgrades" would have been better spent on the poker table.
I'm having trouble justifying that waterpump when my oem lasted 73000 miles.

not necessarily. There is a HUGE difference in the two water pumps as far as ability to move water and avoid cavitation.
I've had it in my car for over a year and a half and the thing rocks. It definitely drops the coolant temps much faster then with the OEM. (I've got digital water temp gauges so it's easy for me to monitor)

ive heard that our oem radiator is not so good either... i think i heard sammy say once that on hot summer days at the track the upgraded radiator makes a big difference.
