Like most:



Also, ordered a new controller + a chat pad.

Like so many others. Now if I could only play more than 10 minutes at a time without getting booted/lagged out, that would be fantastic.

£80. Anyone who's interested in headphones will appreciate how ecstatic I am to have found them at this price.

A lot of Black Ops 2 purchases I see. Can I get a couple of reviews? I was going to buy it, but Ive read mostly bad reviews.

And I purchased a couple of these for one of my balconies:

Typical COD. Underwhelming campaign, addicting multiplayer. A few new guns, new interface, new maps. If you're a fan of the series, go for it. If you're new, it's nothing to go bananas about.

That is what Ive kept reading, so I think Im just gonna pass. Ive been playing the series for a long time, but Im more of a campaign person.

I just ordered a couple of Incipio NGP iPad mini cases. One for me, one for my Mom.



I hope they're as nice as the reviews have stated.

Personally I think the game is pretty good, sure the campaign could be better but I actually don't think it is that bad.

The games not bad. It's very similar to Black Ops in terms of game play/game style, just with fancy new updated weapons/equipment/etd. But, as with all COD games, lag is still ever present. I'm sure, currently, it's due to the millions of people pounding the servers but it's still there unfortunately.

Last night, while probably not the best example, there was serious lag. I couldn't stay in a lobby for more than 15 minutes without getting booted from said lobby or being kicked off the servers entirely. When I did get to play, very laggy. I'm pumping a full clip into someone and getting hit markers and then I die. After looking at the kill cam, none of my bullets registered and the opponent simply turns around, shoots 2 bullets (with perfect aim I might add) and I'm dead. Hoping something gets fixed on this but, then again, it is COD so it just might be that way from here on out. I did get the care package edition so, at least, I get to play with the quad rotor drone

Picked up a copy of Black Ops II, as everyone else has. Doesn't seem too bad so far.

It's kind of like a fruit / wine / etc of the month club, with olive oil. You pick out a grove in Italy and you get olive oil pressed from "your tree" (or your share in the output of the grove, 1.5 liters to start and any additional you request). They make great oil! I use their mandarin olive oil in waffles, muffins, cakes.. I got the subscription, a couple of cans of olive oil to go with the subscription packet ("your" olive oil comes a few months down the road) and the book written by the people who started the enterprise ("The Dolce Vita Diaries"). A great gift for the foodie in your life who has everything already. http://nudo-italia.com/

Just picked these up today.

I just ordered this Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener.

The reviews were great. I have a 3 stage ChefChoice sharpener which weighs a ton, makes a huge racket, takes forever to sharpen a few knives, and doesn't really put on a particularly good edge. It's such a pain in the ass it's up in the cabinet and I never use it.One of the reviewers (a professional chef) compared the two and found this to be better in all ways...AND IT WAS CHEAP!!!

If you are passionate about your knives you should consider getting stones. It can be a true artistic skill to set your own edges.

You are, of course, absolutely right. True sharpening involves a stone, which involves developing a new skill set.

However, my intense insanity about coffee takes up much of my available insanity time. Adding another insanity would be impossible, so I chicken out and go the easy way with knives.

Only so much time to devote to ridiculous obsessions...coffee is mine!!
