Go fast, TURN LEFT! Or I guess more accurately, do whatever I'm told so that one day I may... go fast, TURN LEFT! Off to Forest City finally.

The foamy earpads are replaceable. So no nasty factor there. Not like buying used cycling shorts.

Here's a sweet video from our first time out there, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg6nXiQYz3Y

Good advice. I should wait for the spring to buy the Capo. By then, I should have a tax return to blow on that Capo with some Dura Ace Hubs and a Miche ....er....I mean tuition

Yeah...I leaned it against the matching, radiator sized $100,000 amps they had in one of the listening rooms.
+1 on Kristapson's....sooooooooooo good.

nice. downloading the higher res stuff from the ITMS podcast now.

Poking around I found this as well: https://www.podshow.com/showguide/?ke..._type=pdn_show

ps. if you liked the youtube footage, definitely go download the podcast video. It's significantly longer, and obviously better quality.

NICE!!

hehehe.. we're totally going in slo-mo.

I saw Wired to Win at the Science Center last year ... pretty amazing footage, especially some of the helicopter shots. They'd be tracking guys from behind on some of the summits and then the helicopter would just go flying off the other side (cue stomach lurch and vertigo). Definitely go check it out if the opportunity presents itself.

The time trial opening from Pro is still my favourite though ... great camera angle, sound, etc. Definite got the heart pumping.

any of you guys video game console owners? i'm thinking since i'm working so much i may buy myself one as a xmas prezzie, but i haven't had one since the original nintendo my brother and i shared in 1988. anyone have any recommendations on which system is favourite and what not?

All I thought of when seeing "capo" is:





Roads look a LOT clearererererer than they did before, so that's all good times. I mispent my evening in debauchery and stupidity, so I'll be paying for that.

However, I did learn that Jamie Kennedys' place on Church is decently priced and has superb food.

My vote goes to the Xbox 360. I bought one on Boxing Day last year and I've been really happy with it. The hardware's good, graphics/sound are very impressive and I *think* the current Xboxes are shipping with HDMI outputs. Online content/game play is the best out of the big three systems ... I really like how easy it is to join in games with friends and all the multiplayer options out there for most games. The games themselves have impressed me a lot.

I don't know what kind of games you like, but take a look at Gears of War, Bioshock and Halo 3. Those are three of my favourites. Also check out EA Skate, Portals (part of The Orange Box) and ... oh, let's go with Mass Effect (Honourable Mention: Viva Pinata). It's not out yet (I don't think so, at least) but I'm also really looking forward to Army of Two.

Oh, as of the latest firmware update you can now stream .avi files off a computer and control them via the Xbox. For me that means when I download shows/movies Sara and I can watch them in our living room on the TV vs. having to watch them playing off one of our computers in the bedroom. Bigger screen + comfy couch FTW!

I'd get a Wii as it looks like a lot of fun and I like the Zelda and Mario franchises. I too have never had a console since my ol' NES (yet another purchase made with money from my paper route!) so I guess I am a Nintendo fan-boy. I borrowed my nephew's Gamecube and it is a lot of fun.

I second mike's xbox 360 vote. I've had mine since the console launched and I'm still amazed at how much I enjoy the thing. The wii seemed really cool to me at first, but now it just seems sort of lame and gimmicky. *Shrug* Zelda and Mario look great, but two games aren't really enough to make me take the plunge yet.

The other great thing about the 360 is Xbox Live Arcade. Basically you can download all sorts of small puzzle games, re-released classic arcade games (TMNT!) and that sort of thing for like $5-10. You can also download game demos, videos, tv shows, etc direct from XBL. Not to mention the video streaming stuff mike mentioned.

we got marly a PS3 havent tried it yet but it looks cool...plus 40 gigs hard drive...dont know what its capable of but theres another choice for you to further confuse you!

I don't play any games, but my thoughts have always been that the Ninendo stuff was more cartoony, but often more 'fun'. But, that said, the most popular games for people over 15 seem to be Halo and Guitar Hero (a 40 minute discussion on the implications of kids hearing Sabbath and Zepplin through that gamewas had at my christmas lunch yesterday) which are on the 360.

That said, the Wii's controller idea seems really cool. It would be awesome if they had a cycling game and you could attach the controller to the crank.

i like the idea of the xbox in terms of game selection and usability but it seems a lot more pricey than the others. what's the best source for these things? one of those big-box electronics stores or what?

got the ps3 at bestbuy/futureshlop...Im guessin thats usually the way to go...

best buy or futureshop is the best place to buy it

ps2 is still a good buy aswell, huge catalog and cheap

Yep, I got mine for like $100.00 off at Future Shop ... it came w/ two wireless controllers and a game (Ghost Recon and also a disc of Xbox Live arcade games).

As long as everyone is going for all the off topic posts...

I know there are a few Hot Water Music fans in the house so presumably there are a few Leatherface fans as well... For those of you...

i've no idea why people brave the stupid lineups at mec when they can go across the street to europe bound for competitively priced stuff. sales items aside, they've got pretty much the same stuff (rebranded) and people lining up at mec are buying generic stock-stuffer crap anyways.. i like poking around in europe bound's bike section.. never know what you might unearth..

how the heck did you get a ps3 for a hundred bucks??!!
man, wii sports alone can tie you over for a month. bowling and the homerun hitting contest is strangely satisfying. absolutely pick up a wii if you can find one. consoles are great but cod4 is where it's at!
