I bought the DC of Troy because it's way better. Came with a slipcover, it looks nice. Bought the special edition of 300 because the slip cover was nicer, had Leonidas looking fierce and shit.

But then I buy DVDs, and I own maybe 15-20.

300 was a terrible movie and you should feel ashamed for owning it.

I throw out my DVD cases. I save the cardboard thing that goes in the case, but the cases tend to go in the bin. In my loungeroom there's just two of these next to the telly.

300 was a masterpiece of cinema, sir. :colbert:

I skipped school to watch it in IMAX, and I saw it twice more in regular theatres.

It was first year uni I was young and dumb

But it's still a fun movie

I mean, the story is a classic so it's not like they could really screw it up

And who doesn't like glistening pecs?

Also disco queen xerxes > historical xerxes

I have all my blurays in their cases so I can pawn them if I need to. All my DVD's are in a zipup CD binder, though since the pawn shop doesn't take them anymore. Have I mentioned I'm buying this? :picard:

the question is really how you define "serious"

like i'd call myself a pretty serious computer programming dude

but my lifetime total expenses on it is like $1,000 (which, of course, i may have spent anyway; computers are fairly useful regardless)


now some people spend more than that on a single computer that they throw away after a year

but are those people really serious about the hobby of computer programming

or is are they serious about computer shopping?

Money spent for me would be mostly in guitars and in line effects, as well as proper roadcases for everything - that shit adds up.

As for amps, I can't say I have one in particular that I lust after, as I feel strongly about tone being largely the product of the guitar and the way it is played; I've had a recording engineer tell me I get remarkably good sound out of my much abused 100 watt Ashton. I am fairly partial to the Marshall sound though, so a high-end valve job would cater for my needs. For variety, I'd also have a 5150.

Yeah. Guitars make a difference too. I still am not sure what I'd settle on. I've tried $2k+ guitars and didn't like the sound and I've tried sub $1k guitars and liked them. I think I'd go for a decent Strat. I like the thinner neck and I've been playing with a Squier for almost 10 years. I never really enjoyed the feel and weight of Les Pauls, which people rave about and tell me to get.

As for effects, I'm mainly wanting digital delay, flanger, wah, and an MXR micro amp. I'd like to control feedback with the delay and wah pedal, the latter of which is my favorite effect when used with subtlety. That porno technique is not pleasing.
