!calgarybronies Well, now that the #steam holiday sale is over, I still have some coupons and a game to get rid of. Specifically, these ones: http://oat.nu/53g4p || If anyone's interested in anything, let me know. || The game I can send through e-mail, but the coupons have to be sent through Steam's trading interface.

HALF-LIFE 2 IS AMAZING SO FAR !vgp

@puzzlemint I just got a few Half-Life items on Steam last week and I'm loving it so far
-
@macpony55 eeeyup. I loved every minute of that game

@vanillabelle Well, the PS3 sort of crapped out on us towards the end but it was good while it lasted. Thanks again to those who came! !calgary

!techponies Thinking of picking up a small (60-80GB) SSD to run a couple games off of. That, combined with the reasonable amount of storage space on my two remaining slooooooooow HDDs should tide me over until I can afford something with a little more breathing room. || Never had an SSD before, and it looks like my usual hard drive tactic of "get a WD/Seagate" isn't going to work very well. Anypony have any recommendations, or advice on what to look for? || Do keep in mind that I'm a starving college student, so budget is a big issue; also, I'm Canadian, so I'd prefer something from NCIX or DirectCanada; newegg.ca and tigerdirect.ca are also acceptable.

@ponydude2143 what doesn't ?
-
@ponydude2143 And nopony got mad! Astra does stuff like that from time to time, and she's more or less universally liked.
-
@ponydude2143 Report them to me next time. I'll start handing out rulings.

!calgarybronies Once again, since the regular meetup is cancelled this weekend, I'm hosting a mini-meetup at my house. It'll be the same time as a regular meetup (5-ish to 9-ish), so anyone who's interested is welcome, even if you can only stay for a while. Drop me a line at puzzledmint@gmail.com for directions if you feel like stopping by.
-
!calgary Okay, so my main hard drive with all my programs and a lot of my other stuff on it just up and died with absolutely zero warning, so that's wonderful.

@eaglehooves Sadly, I've had enough hard drives die on me that I already know pretty much every recovery trick in the book. This one's pretty well fried. It's just a huge pain in the papayas because it had all my programs, all my games (including the two-dozen-or-so new ones I'd just finished downloading from the Steam holiday sale), and all of my recent downloads that I hadn't had a chance to sort yet.
-
@puzzlemint That sucks. At least you know what you're doing, though. I've tried to help some fairly clueless people through it, and that taxes my sanity.

@puzzlemint Sucks all the same though. If you need a hand getting certain things replaced I may be able to help some.

So... pony party at my place? || Since the meetup this week is off due to @darcyblue having other new year's plans, and since I just got back from BC and DON'T have other new year's plans, if any other !calgarybronies have nothing to do on the 31st, you're welcome to come to my place and have a mini-meetup. || I have a decent-sized basement room with a 42-inch TV to watch ponies on. And a whole bag of chips. ... we might have to order pizza. || Anyhow, if anyone's interested, fire me an e-mail at puzzledmint@gmail.com, so I can give directions, and also get a sense of how many people might show up. || Keep in mind that I live in the north-ish. Not far north -- just off centre street on 34th ave -- but anyone who lives down south may want to keep the distance in mind. And for anyone who takes transit, you can just take the #3 from downtown; there's a stop not 4 blocks away.
-
@puzzlemint You have no idea how incredibly tempting that is. I'll have to see what's going on and if I can figure out where that is, but I'll fire you an email once I learn things.

!calgarybronies When is the next meet up? and where is it?
Tuesday, 27-Dec-11 23:36:49 UTC from web-
@puzzlemint !calgary i dunno. every year i go out with my friends to there party. it wouldnt be right if i didnt come over. also im shure that sentry box is closed come new years anyways.
-
@darcyblue !calgarybronies So there is no meet up on the 31st?
-
!vgp Oh, and before I forget, Bastion is on sale for $5 on Steam today. Buy it.

!calgary Well, I'm headed to Cherry Lane in about 30-45 minutes for a boxing day pony-sweep.
-
@puzzlemint Sorry last minute call and I ended up in Kelowna. Likely not back till 1 or 2. !calgary
-
@wanderingbrony !calgary 'sokay, wasn't much to see anyways. If you raid the Superstore while you're up there, try to leave a Lulu Luck for me to grab tomorrow.
-
-
@wanderingbrony !calgary As it turns out, grandma needs to do some grocery shopping tomorrow, so I'll be going to Cherry Lane regardless. No idea when, though.
-
o/` They can be plain or fancy. They can be short or long. The simple white kind, the glow by night kind, with socks you can't go wrong. A gift as good as candy, a big balloon or blocks. They always come in handy, and nothin' says Christmas like a pair of socks! || When winter is turning your nose-y a little bit froze-y, socks'll make you feel comfy cozy! Who doesn't love to wear them? No one at all, that's who. The sparkly red kind, the wear to bed kind, it's nice to have a few (I know I do). Some folks enjoy new mittens, or a teddy bear that talks, or a picture book of kittens, but nothin' says Christmas -- MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS -- nothin' says Christmas like a PAIR! OF! SOOOOOOOOOCKS!!! o/` #minty || Merry Socksmas everypony, and especially all my !calgarybronies!

!calgary Well, I just finished a pony sweep of Cherry Lane Mall, which means I've effectively done a pony sweep of the entire town of Penticton. The grocery store and the drug store each have a small selection of Shine Brights. The actual toy store has nothing :/
-
!calgary @wanderingbrony I'm actually in Kelowna now. I'll be headed back to Penticton on Friday, then Kelowna again on boxing day, then back to Calgary towards the end of the month. Of the stores I've been to in Kelowna, the selection's a bit better, but still nothing I'm after. Saw a standalone Sweetie Belle, which I didn't even know existed, but I already gave away a spare Sweetie Belle, I don't need another. I also found this thing in Zellers. http://ur1.ca/6v55f
-
!calgary In Penticton till the 3rd everyone have a safe and happy holidays. And @puzzlemint let me know if ya wanna get together at all.
-
@wanderingbrony !calgary I might have time for a round of pony-hunting through Cherry Lane on boxing day.
-
-
!calgary It's nice to be back in Beautiful Billboard Columbia, but, god damn, there are some things you just don't notice about a place until you've been gone for a while.

!calgary I want to be there for the reporter, but I'm in another province :/
-
!calgary !college http://oat.nu/b6q9u Final grades are in. Can't rightly complain.
-
@puzzlemint Damn man, that is awesome! *victory hugs!* Kudos. I have been too scared to check mine.

!calgary Stopping in at the Denny's in Revelstoke for lunch. We're about halfway through our ~8-hour drive. Kind of wish my phone had a data plan so I didn't have to rely on public hotspots, but you know, that would cost money.
-
Yay! Finally this semester of torment is at an end! :D
Thursday, 15-Dec-11 03:30:15 UTC from web-
@puzzlemint Haha nice! It happens though. I've learned not to start anything awesome when it's close to big stuff being due or it'll never get done. I get addicted to them too easily.
-
@mayhapmurklins This is a smart thing to do. The night before my stats exam I went on TVTropes. Whoops.
-
@yodelerty Oh god not TVTropes! It's an inescapable vortex! (I'll admit I broke that rule this year too though. I bought a game and swore not to start it until my critiques and exams were done. Oops.)
-
-
!calgary Okay, so we're definitely leaving for BC before the meetup, so... well, I won't be at the meetup. I kind of hope the media visit gets postponed until I get back. I've been watching the growth of both the show and the fandom since episode 1, so it would be cool to be able to offer my perspective. || Y'all don't even know. I was THERE, dude. I was a witness to the birth of Derpy. I was there when the term "brony" was coined. Then again, I was also there for the invention of clopping, plot, and wingmangoess, so it's kind of a mixed bag.

!vgp The #humblebundle team has done it again! And by "it", I mean made a bundle with only one game that I want.
-
@puzzlemint I never really understood humble bundle... also this might be the only time I looked at it for longer than a minute... if I had paypal I think I'd be getting it
-
-
Well, that DEFINITELY killed my 100% average. Pretty sure I still got an A+ for the course, though. !college !calgary
-
@puzzlemint Ah well you can't win 'em all dear. ^^ Awesome on the A+ though hehe. 'Neigh plus is always good. :3

@puzzlemint Have some lucky quadratic integrands dear. ^^

-
!calgary Cutie Mark Crusader Sweetie Belles! Yay! http://ur1.ca/6n5yx
-
@puzzlemint D'aww, nice! That's the question though: Is there an actual Scootaloo G4 toy?
-
@redbacksigil Allegedly. Never seen one.
-
-
-
@puzzlemint Lucky you and your efficient instructors. My exam today started half an hour late for some unexplained reason. I don't expect marks to be up for weeks.
-
-
!calgary !college Three hour final finished in one hour, 28 minutes. One only hopes tomorrow's math final goes as well. The question now becomes, how am I going to kill the three and a half hours until my chiropractor appointment?
