But does anyone have a VCR they don't want. I still watch a lot of videos and our VCR is SO loud. It makes a weird noise when it runs and so if anyone has one they don't want I'd love to take it off their hands.
Both of ours died so we had to buy a new one last year. I am wondering what we'll do when you can no longer buy VCR's because Andy still thinks VHS is superiour to DVD. So if that belief continues throughout his life I may have to have a VCR on hand at all times.
Yeah, we have one. I need to check if it still works, since Connor tore part of the face off at one point. I'll bring it up next month if it does work.
I have been trying to find a vrc also. They only sell them with dvd players on them now and I'm cheap. If anyone knows where you can buy just a vcr, let ME know.
Yeah we do need a VHS player. I started calling that when Kory and I started dating, he would always correct me, but I still think it makes more sense. We call players that play DVD's DVD player, so why not a VHS player. Can anyone tell me what VCR stands for? And then maybe it will make sense.
NBA 2k12 --- I know. I KNOW. I've probably played the NBA 2k series for atleast 350 real life hours. And yes, I KNOW that if I applied that time to any sort of constructive endeavor, I could probably boast actual abs, an add-on to the house, or a historical fiction novel. But I just don't care. The 2k series is the best sports simulation series ever made. And I will probably play it until I die.
Madden 12 --- Since the NBA is in a lockout, with basically no signs of ever becoming anything more than rich people personally spitting on me and my devotion, I felt I needed to find a new outlet. As the NFL is the country's biggest obsession, I figured I had probably get on board. I bought this game in large measure to relearn everything I'd forgotten about football since the early nineties when I last cared. And it did it's work well.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution --- Upgrading a bionic man while tiptoeing through warehouses? I accept.
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword --- It seems at first glance everything you could want in a semi-tactical, mostly action-oriented historical battle game. You rouse troops, you train them, you arm them, you lead them into battle. You track looters and punish them. You try to navigate the political turmoil of 17th century eastern europe. But it's just so messy. It tries to be epic to the point where it seems unfocused. The interface is clumsy to me, and I got so sick of trying to learn the nuances of directing my troops that I always devolved into eventually abandoning them to their fates, while riding around lopping heads off. Cause that's where the fun was at anyway.
What Kyle's Reading
Nightlife by Rob Thurman --- Jeff introduced me to this author. After the density of A Song of Ice and Fire, it was nice to just jump into a light story with fun characters. Basically the story of what happens when demons make a baby, and the baby doesn't turn out to be that bad at being a person.
A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin --- He introduces a giant roster of new people. Some of them interesting, some of them not so much. It's kind of a grab bag of new information about regions not heard from before. But overall, the only book in the series that I had to force myself to read, instead of forcing myself to stop for the sake of sleep requirements. Still a good book, but one I had to just get through moreso than savor.
A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin --- This is my favorite volume so far. There were goosebump moments galore.
A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin --- Has one of the most intense battle sequences I've ever read. I can't wait to see it on HBO.

That's funny because he only watches VHS when he's at our house!
Yeah, we have one. I need to check if it still works, since Connor tore part of the face off at one point. I'll bring it up next month if it does work.
Ooh. Thanks! I can't wait until you come! I have a whol 2 days off!

check DI
Kory, maybe you can't find it because a vRc doesn't exist.
Yeah we do need a VHS player. I started calling that when Kory and I started dating, he would always correct me, but I still think it makes more sense. We call players that play DVD's DVD player, so why not a VHS player. Can anyone tell me what VCR stands for? And then maybe it will make sense.
