Having to prove to Google I am who I say I am. Visiting all the old stomping grounds.

Is there anyone still alive in here?

Please be more vague, for fuck's sake!

I was at work, browsing teh internets for a good deal on CAT5(e) cable, when I came across this little item on Amazon: Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable

It was the price that caught my eye, $500 dollars for a length of cable?!?!?!?one11! I checked the link, an audio cable apparently. Then I started reading the reviews. I nearly laughed my ass off. I don't think there's a single serious review in there, but it does seem that the world at large finds a $500 cable something up with which they will not put... A recommended read.

Oh, and for those who think that $500 for an audio cable is not unreasonable (you nutter), I point you to the AudioQuest speaker cable. Check the price and then tell me audio nuts aren't on crack. It seems the reviewers got to this one too:

If there is one cable I would whole-heartedly trust to my Chimera-hunting needs, this would be the cable. No other cable has the tensile strength to properly and efficiently garrote a lycanthrope, asphyxiate an Esquilax or even gag a mermaid. Last week, using my trusty AudioQuest K2 (retrofitted with lead weights, bright orange latex paint and a generous coating of crushed glass stolen from the window of an abandoned church at midnight), I managed to snuff 3 golden unicorns in swift succession!

Pros: Quickly tears through scales, fur, bone, and adamantium with ease
Coils and uncoils from hip holster (optional) quickly and quietly
For a product fabricated from 1,000 Onyx Dragon fetuses, the price is unbelievably reasonable!

Cons: Shipping from the R'lyeh took far too long
Doesn't come in 10' lengths (which would be perfect for hydra, cerberii and other multi-headed creatures)
After every use, I can feel 6 ounces of my soul slipping from my core into the ether. But this may be due to the fact that I prefer to work without gloves. YMMV.

Overall, I would recommend that any hunter buy one, nay, two, of these immediately, and experience the difference that upgrading to the K2 will make in your next quest!

Ok, sometimes you can take being a fan boy just a bit too far.



You can see more at Real Life Rhino.

Although maybe I prefer this one, showing additional badges/medals:

I'm getting back in to the multiplayer FPS scene with Battlefield 2142 and was thinking about upgrading my machine... I made the mistake of visiting the Alienware pages.

Send me your monies now! Purleeeeezzzz!!!

Required reading for the day is Viscous Behaviour of Custard Systems.

There will be a test later.
