OT: 10,000 Pt XLIV - Guitar Things

Went ahead and bought a pair of AKG K240 MKIIs. Went for them due to their flat sound profile and open-ear design. Also, since I wear glasses at night, having a big cup that won't sit on my ear is an important feature.

Oh yea those are great. I use the Beyerdynamic DT880s for mix detail stuff and those are on a similar level, same open back design and whatnot

Sweet! I wanted to get something before the weekend. Was also looking at the DT770s and the DT990s.

The DT770s were what I was going to recommend if you needed more isolation. They sound great but fidelity-wise the 880s are better. I haven't used the 990s so I can't make a judgement. But yea, good choice with the AKGs, I see those in studios a lot.

Does the box office at SAP Center provide the option for real tickets or all digital?

I believe it's been all digital for years now.

Not shocked. I tip my hat and/or stick to any team that still supplies real tickets.

I imagine Broadway will go dark for a period of time (all lights off) in her memory

Setting aside how incredibly old Bill Murray looks compared to Ernie Hudson and Dan Ackroyd, this looks fun. I enjoyed the last one. And honestly anything that includes the Ecto-1 siren is probably going to make me smile. I don't know what it is about that noise that just pokes the right buttons in my brain.

Ivan Drago prepared me for this when I was a child. RIP, dude, it's going to be weird to see you in Super Bowl ads.

 

[The Nemesis]

He was one of the best parts of the Mandalorian in addition to all the iconic stuff he's done over the years. The fact that he absolutely loved the child/baby yoda/grogu puppet was always hilarious. Like if you can do something to win adoration from Carl Weathers and Werner Herzog you've done something right.

EDIT:

I didn't know this until today but he actually played 3 years of CFL football with the BC Lions before getting into acting full time.

Any of you guys aquarium people? I got a 40 gallon tank and set it up and stocked up on fish recently. I wanna add a couple more schools of tiny fishies but gotta hold back on expenses a bit.

Was the goodyear blimp. That first pic I happened to catch it when it was pointed right at me. Not gonna lie, it wasn't moving and it kinda freaked me out until it turned and I could see it broadsides...

If anyone's looking for some good, cheap platforming action game nostalgia, I just got a notification from Humble Bundle that they're offering a package of like 90% of historical Mega Man games for Steam.

Packages range from $2 to $20 US as I write this and at even the cheapest option you get all 6 original NES games plus coupons to buy some newer stuff for 34-50% off (the Mega Man Battle Network collection of GBA games at 50% off and a modified version of what was an Asian-Market-Only Mega Man X inspired gatcha game at 34% off. This version appears to strip out the gatcha elements and its online play to make it more like a classic single player X game). Subsequent tiers unlock Mega Mans 7-10 as a collection, the 8 Mega Man X games, the Mega Man Zero/ZX games, and the newest mainline game, Mega Man 11.

I'm a huge Mega Man nerd and this is a pretty fantastic deal that only has the shortcoming of being Steam exclusive and not allowing you to buy all this stuff on the Switch (where I already have all of it except the refitted gatcha game). Not every game is fantastic (Basically all the PS1/PS2 games are kind of iffy) but the NES and SNES games are great and if you're nostalgic for the strategy RPG setup of Battle Network, then being able to get it for 50% off is a good deal too.

Mega Man Franchise Pack

From pixel perfect jumps to epic boss battles, this Mega Man bundle will test your 2D prowess. Get 25 games covering major Mega Man milestones and help support JDRF.

The sale appears to last for the next 2 weeks or so.
