Child Bankrupts Make-A-Wish Foundation with wish for unlimited wishes
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Humor
Yes! That was the part that made me laugh my ass off too. X'D -
So I finished up the front brake job with no real problem. The only thing I forgot to do was spray on some anti-squeal on the backs of the brake pads, but thats only because I didn't have any at the time. Anyway, the front brakes are good, but we've been getting some vibrations in the steering wheel and the ABS is randomly kicking on. So I decide to check out the back brakes again. Seeing as I paid Midas to do my back brakes about 6 months ago, I never really looked at the job all too carefully aside from messing with the back left e-brake as I mentioned in another blog post. So, I start on the back right, I start taking it all apart and checking the work they did and thats when I realize one of the caliper pins is completely seized in place and the other one has limited movement. It took me about an hour to work that fucking pin out with my socket wrench while constantly spraying it with freeze off. wtf. I get that out, cleaned it, greased it. Ok. I go to take the rotor off and its locked in place on the e-brake. I had to whack that sunofabitch off with a rubber mallet. The rotor comes off, and so does the e-brake. After looking it over, the emergency brake was such a tight fit in the rotor, once its in place, it was causing a constant rubbing on the inside of the rotor. So I filed and sanded the damn e-brake down so it'll have a cm of breathing room. I cleaned everything up, re-assembled, tested thoroughly and its now in good shape. Roughly 5 hours on Saturday. It took me about 5 hours to get that pin out, clean everything and sand down that e-brake. So I figured the back left couldn't be as bad... Yeah. So yesterday (Sunday), I took the back left off and even tho the rotor came off easily, the brake dust on the inside of the rotor showed the e-brake was rubbing too. And of course, another seized pin in the caliper. WTF did I pay those guys for? Another 5 hours later and this side is now done. I took it for a slight test drive yesterday and the braking felt better than ever. I didn't get a chance to drive that far to see if the vibration problem is fixed yet, but I would assume the stuck caliper pins and rubbing brakes was the cause behind all that. I will never go back to that Midas again. Fucking rip off bastards.

This puts DBZ live action movie to shame

I can't possibly be that bad, can it? rotflmao. X'D -
I just found out that some of these may not post the video correctly because a site might have changed their embed coding. If you notice something doesn't load correctly, let me know.

That sounds like a much better control system. You would think the turn speed while aiming would be just as fast as regular turning tho. So if it is setup like a shooter, can you shoot at an enemy while circling them? Or is it still set like RE4 where you have to be standing still to shoot?

Sony Releases Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't...

Battlestar Galactica - Final episodes
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Battlestar Galactica
Caprica and Gaius saw each others angels. That was pretty cool. -
I see the biggest flaws in resident evil 4 carried over to RE5. You must stand still to shoot, no peripheral vision and no quick turn. You'd think they'd have some sort of analog or d-pad control for quick turns left and right. They had a quick 180 move to quickly attack behind you. guh. btw, is there a strafe option in RE5 to pear around walls and shoot? That pissed me off more than anything in RE4. You basically had to always walk blinding around every corner just to get attacked on your blind sides.

The 4th said that Pain killed jiyra while he was talkint to Naruto. And Kakashi saw the face of his dead father and starting having a conversation with him in the afterlife. Since Kakashi was killed, all of Tsunade's slugs avoided contacting him because he was already dead. And since Pain exploded the village, he probably destroyed Kakashi's body in the process. Everyone was trying to save themselves and anyone else still alive. I doubt anyone had the time to pick up his dead body for a proper burial considering how many other dead ninjas were lying all over the place. BTW, with Pain's powers and the fact that he animates dead corpses. I still wouldn't be suprised if he busts out both Jiyra and Kakashi Pains to fight Naruto in the last epic battle of the series. If that actually happens, I'll be pissed tho. Besides it looks like Pain's about dead as it is. I don't see how he could bust out two new Pain bodies on the fly at this point anyway. But! Wouldn't it make sense that he still has a Pain body as a defence to protect his weak ass. His greatest weakness is that if anyone takes out his real body, he's screwed. So it'd only make sense that he had a protector Pain constantly at his side to defend him in case his location was ever detected.

I still haven't watched a new frontier, the animation style looks too much like crap. Now that would be great. X'D

This puts DBZ live action movie to shame
Sledgstone replied to slippers's topic in Movies, TV & Books
Holy Crap that is an awesome video! If the DBZ live action movie would have fight scenes like that, it might make up for the horrible plot and casting job they did. -
Thats a good point, I wonder what happened to that guy. Maybe he did beat his ass and threw him over a ledge somewhere. He must have attacked him or something to touch him... unless Bon Clay impersonated a woman, touched his cheek as if to kiss him and then told him to get him a drink or some crap and he ran off like an idiot.
-
The game sounds good. I'll definitely have to get it one of these days. Isn't there an online play mode tho? Have either of you tried that yet?
-
Poor Luffy. Maybe that person standing over them at the end of the chapter was Iva. Luffy needs saving! And where the hell did Buggy and Mr. 3 go? I thought Bon Clay would have dragged their asses along with him. They must have ran off somewhere again. \

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40430 After a new Green Lantern animated movie comes out on DVD (which I haven't read anything about yet ), DC will be releasing Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. I'm not impressed with the plot. But it does sound like they'll use this movie to animate a crapload of DC characters into a single movie. And that alone could make it good.

http://www.marvel.com/news/vgstories.7249.Marvel_MMO_Deal_Signed I wonder if they will really make it a new unique MMO or if it will just be yet another MMO except with marvel characters.

Battlestar Galactica - Final episodes
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Battlestar Galactica
Mostly the end end, how they came to the conclusion about what they did with the ships and how to not start a colony or society. Its like it was divine intervention that made everyone feel these choices were the best ones to make. But its good tho. If they'd have dragged on and explained certain things in more detail it would have taken away from the overall ending. I'm still so sad. It ended like the dark tower. Earth was their tower/goal, and now that they've made it there, the entire cycle starts over. -
Poor Kakashi died fighting for konoha. He probably didn't want to depress Naruto more by reminding him of all the people that have died.

That episode wrapped up the entire series so good. It didn't cover everything, but I feel satisfied. -
I like the lighting effects on the hair. The colors look great.

Very New style I've found is pretty good.
Sledgstone replied to -Graphics-'s topic in Signatures / Avatars / Graphics
I like your current hitman sig better than the two you posted. The character grabs my attention and the rest of the image kind of flows outward from him. The other two seem to have too much black space and noise in them. I do like the first one more than the prince of persia one. It looks like he has a scythe in his hands and might have cut thru the blackness, but not quite. Good sigs tho.
