Anyone here use Last.FM?

It's an online radio station that you can pick and choose what you want to play on it, yourself. There's also a recommendations station you can listen to, tailor-suited to your tastes, or you can mix your personal station with the recommedations station. Or if you're in the mood for a particular band's style, you can listen to their radio station which will also play other bands similar to that particular band.

Whenever I'm online I have a window open with it on. It's a great way to discover new bands. I've discovered a bunch of new bands through them.

Check it out. You've got nothing to lose, it's completely free.

Here's my personal listening library, at the moment:

I kid you not, this really just happened:

Across the street today, some old crazy guy was out there in nothing but boxer shorts. He'd also pull his, um, manhood out randomly, but it was covered with a sock. And then he'd just start yelling at no one in particular.

I called the police department, they put me on hold forever so I ended up hanging up. Someone else must have called, though, because they showed up anyways.

You live across the street from Scott? And do we need another admin since he is probably in jail now?

They give you internet time in the library, as long as he stays on good behavior, lol.

Do you consider AC/DC and Guns 'N Roses heavy metal, or not?

I went to GameStop the other day and this one certain employee just really got under my skin.

First when I walk in, he's talking to a customer about how stupid XBox is for back-peddaling on the DRM and used game stuff. I keep my opinion to myself, though.

I then go up to the counter and ask if either of the employees there had played Dragon's Dogma. They both say yes, so I ask them a simple question: "Is this game an RPG, or is it just an attack the bad-guys button-masher?" The aformentioned guy replies, "What do you mean?" So I clarify that I want something a little more in-depth than just a beat-up the bad guys game. He then looks all taken back and says, "Well you just mash the buttons in any video game, so I'm still not sure what you mean." The girl then turns around and says, "Yes, it's an RPG." And I distinctly got the feeling from that, that I wasn't alone in thinking the guy was being a douche.

So then I decide on Dragon's Dogma and I go to get rung up, and it's my favorite GS employee again. I give him the game, and he goes and switches the case out for one with a game. Before I leave, I open it up, as I always do, and I notice it doesn't have the book like the one I purposely grabbed off the shelf for the book. So I go back and point it out and ask if I could get the case that has the book. He looks at me and says, "What?" I tell him that's why I picked out that copy because I wanted the book. He says, "You don't need the book, it'll tell you what to do in the tutorial." I then finally get a little testy with the guy and tell him, "I want the damn book, because I paid for it, and that's reason enough." He then hands me the book and I walk out.

I really hope that guy gets fired soon. I know it doesn't seem like much, but he just pushed all my buttons.

That is exactly what I was describing in my post. Mine didn't come with the box, but it was that. Either I got an out of this world deal on it, or that's an exorbant price for one.

Is it the Atari 2600 game center? It has the wood-grain finish like the Atari 2600 console, and plastic dark (but see-through) lid with it?

If it is, I don't think it's worth all that much. I bought an Atari 2600 on eBay with one of those, and 30 games, and it was about $50.

You can use flash drives for memory, and Xbox Live offers you your own Cloud Drive space.
