Anyone want to take bets on when Morphix will go bankrupt? I say five years.

The iPod's in awesome shape, and the seller threw in a free replacement battery for when this one starts to go. I got a great deal, and now I can start getting new music again (since I filled my old one up).
:D
the price may be cheap (what like $56?) but its hands down, THE BEST dvd writer you can get. been wanting to upgrade my 4x NEC for a while.Quote:

thought I might try out some wireless controllers today, so far so good. Might have to pick up a few more tomorrow (along with a bunch of AA batteries).

$10million, well, that could last longer.
I don't think there's any way he's got more than $10mil.
So, I say we're talking $3-4 mil.
Six years. ;)
It took me about 10 years to pay off my student loan. I believe the grand total was over $17,000.Quote:

Diff knows, he's a mathematician.
You make a valid point, but I'm not going to sit idly by whilst you drag the good name of Stargate through the mud.Quote:

Hehe, I was going to ask which bank is giving him 2% of interest a month... That's $1667 pre-tax. Post-tax is about 50% of that.Quote:

Truth.
Plus, no bank gives 2% interest for $1 mil in their institution. You get a sweet rate (5% plus?) for that kind of deposit.
Yeah, Morphix, start posting! ;)Quote:

As for all this "competing" stuff, you guys started, and morphix 1up'ed you. He's just pushing your little buttons and you're falling for it every time.
Pick up the mangas, you may like them.Quote:

I'm probably the most laid-back member of the boards. I don't normally say anything about shit like this, but it's REALLY gotten out of hand, and it's making the Haul thread, something that should be, oh DRAMALESS because it's a fucking HAUL THREAD, into something as jaded as the rest of the boards.
I'm not asking for perfect unity, but this whole "let's bash morphix" is re-grass-damn-diculous.
"Oh, he's gonna go broke in XXX years"? Sure, you're joking/kidding, but there's a hint of jealousy behind that. "Are you investing it?" blah blah.
Morphix is doing EXACTLY what a majority of us here would do if we acquired such a vast sum of money is such a short amount of time. How many times have we said to ourselves "if I had the money, I'd buy such and such"?
I'm not his Morph's defender, and I really don't give a damn what he does with his money, but some people here REALLY need to chill out.
i dont know how morph got his money but i hate how people rag on jeremy because of his eyes and the fact that he cant work but praise others here. doesnt make sense to me.Quote:

Before it was basically "someone posts something, someone else posts a couple things, someone else posts one or two things, etc.," and now it's just pages of anime boxsets from the same guy.Quote:

It's not single purchases from people taking the time to pick out what they like, it's one guy shovelling up everything he might remotely enjoy in same vague sense just because he has the captial to toss around. Not really the same thing.Quote:

But he constantly proves himself to be a bigger person that most of the people here. He was happy to have a g/f, and people ragged in him about that, yet he always remained in good spirits.
Like I say, people ragged him about it, he 1up'ed them, and they aren't happy.Quote:

He already gave a reason as to why he doesn't post in Gaming Discussion. I think it defeats the point to coming to this website, but hey, it's his decision.
He buys the stuff, he's doing what everyone else here does, just to a larger degree.
But I've said what I'm going to say, I've given my opinion, so anyone can take it how they will.

(I thought about it - it would be REALLY funny if he were just putting us on all this time - I know he's showed pictures, but it's just too funny an idea)
Alright, I've been racking my brain trying to set Stargate straight here, and the only way to do it is this:Quote:

I lost a whole day at work because of this. Thanks a lot, I'm probably going to be fired.
I won't post images anymore, I thought you guys liked it. It is a real pain in the ass to do anyway.
As for snorting coke off supermodels' bellies, I don't do drugs. I am also not in the mood to bring a gold digger home just yet.

And of all brands, this one comes from the GE power company. Got it for $9 and despite being a regular kb, it feels really nice. :)
I think it's kind of neat to see the collections.Quote:

I bought some Tynenol Cold for my wife today. Yippee for me!
Picked up DMC3 and ordered a pair of Shure E2c in-ear headphones.
Can't wait for 'em to get here... those stupid fucking Apple pack-ins suck.
Ye ol' Maya software package.
I got a bunch of old shit from work today:
6 Harddrives of varying sizes, makes, and states of functionality
A gigantic book on A+ certification
A wireless B card for a laptop (mini PCI)
Photoshop 3 (on floppies no less)
Quark 4.04
2 sticks of 256mb RAM (PC133)
I'm going to junk the harddrives out for their discs (shiney!) if they don't work. And I'll probably be able to snag a laptop to go along with the wireless card on thursday. Free stuff is good stuff!
Yes it is. For example, someone wrote "Happy Birthday Juicy" instead of "Julie" on one of the cakes at work, rendering it useless.Quote:

And on the haul side: We got us a new HP Lazerjet printer.
You ARE going to return it, right? You make it sound like you're just going to throw it in a closet. :lol:Quote:

Morphix, you know, I honestly don't fault you for going on a buying bender, but man, you should spend a little more creatively. I'd buy plenty of anime and games had I your cash, sure, but where's the real unique stuff that no one else can afford? All you're doing is buying a bunch of stuff everyone else can, but in greater quantities. If I went to your house, I'd be wowed by your collection and all, but if I really wanted to play one of your games or see an anime, it's within my reach to go buy or rent it myself.
You should buy some pinball machines or a deluxe arcade cabinet like LA Machineguns or Virtua-On or something, something no one else can say they have.
Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard has a gigantic gong for sale. It has to be at least 10 feet tall. It costs $10,000.Quote:

Game-wise, I'd buy that Fist of the North Star punching game. Would make a nice stress reliever.
