The Wackness

So i just finished watching "The Wackness" and i have to say it was simply amazing. Iv never heard of it before one of my friends mentioned it to me and im glad i didn't miss out on this movie.

Now i don't really want to give a review of the movie but rather just mention what its about and recommend that you check it out.

 

IMDB Description: 

It's the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip-hop. Set against this backdrop, a lonely teenager named Luke Shapiro spends his last summer before university selling marijuana throughout New York City, trading it with his unorthodox psychotherapist for treatment, while having a crush on his stepdaughter.

The movie is based around New York and the awesome hip hop scene of the time. So there is a lot of really good music that you'll hear through out the movie. Especially a lot of Notorious BIG and A Tribe Called Quest. You should watch this movie for the music alone. The story is great and a lot of people can probably relate to Luke and even learn something useful.

Next time your looking for something to do  on a boring night, i hope you check out this movie. Peace.

Portal

So i just finished playing through Portal for probably the 5th time. I cant wait to play Portal 2 and have some awesome co-op adventures with  friends. If you haven't heard of or played Portal i suggest you get to it. You can buy the game for $15 on steam and even though it will probably only take you 3 hours to beat the game, it will be time and money well spent. Once you pick it up you wont want to stop playing so make sure you have some time on your hands lol.

Anyone else really excited for Portal 2?


Oh, and above you can see how to make your very own companion cube :)

Daily life, actually.

Check it, anyone else find this image extremely accurate?

Stance

Illest/Fatlace is a pretty popular company in the scene and you'll see their stickers branding some of the best cars.

I'm a pretty big fan of the whole "stanced" car scene. What is stance you might ask? Well its basically how a car sits. The perfect stance is questionable and people have their own opinions but it all comes down to a couple things.

Ridiculous Wheel Fitment

Check the stretch and poke on that wheel bro.

 Low

Scrape.

And just an overall clean/badass look.

Here is some eye candy.

Multiple monitors, is it worth it?

So as you know most likely from a previous post, i am currently using 3 monitors. This is pretty new to me but before this i used 2 monitors for about 2 years. Both of them were 1680x1050 so i recently picked up a 1920x1080 monitor to replace one of them. So how did i end up with 3? Im too lazy to get rid of one, lol.

Basically going from 1 to 2 monitors was a huge improvement in productivity. You don't realize all the advantages of another monitor until you actually try it for yourself. My main use for it was  having all my social networking on there, such as skype/aim/msn/vent and then i would be able to see incoming IMs all the time. Id also use it for watching videos or looking at websites while doing other things such as homework or playing a game. Once you use 2 monitors its hard to go back.

Now as for 3 monitors it really depends on what your doing. But even the simplest PC user can find  a use for 3. It just comes down to is it worth the extra $$. A simple user can have his main work on the primary monitor, their social networking on the other and then music for example on the 3rd. Now this is possible and i guess its nice but  it really doesn't justify spending the extra money for a monitor and then a way to hook it up to your computer (remember most graphics cards only support 2 monitors).

Am i the only one who really dislikes full screening their browser? lol

Ironically this is how my desktop looks most of the time, website on the primary, music on the 3rd and social crap on the 1st. I wouldn't go out of my way to achieve this setup. I can only think of a couple times that iv said to myself  "thank god i have this 3rd monitor". But for some reason i really like it there and probably wont be going back to a 2 monitor setup.

Oh yea and you can do this if you have an eyefinity card :P

So in conclusion, you probably dont need 3 monitors but at the same time you probably wont regret getting a 3rd monitor. If your still in 1 monitor land i strongly recommend you try a dual monitor setup to increase your productivity and just give you a generally better experience.

Thats it.. oh and 100 followers, thanks guys.

If you had to choose one?

Yes im aware  they are all the same person, props for the awesome photoshop job this guy did.

So, if you had to choose one, what would your choice be? Personally i had to do a ranking order since i can't really decide.

Slytherin>Gryffindor>Ravenclaw>Hufflepuff

So Basically right to left lol. Anyway im not a huge Harry Potter fan but who can't agree that Emma Watson is fucking hot.

Simple post for today, lots of work to do. See you guys tomorrow!

My Computer; Updated Pics

Figured id just post the whole setup while im at it.

This computer is responsible for pretty much all my entertainment and also allows me to do my job. Its pretty beastly even though its a tad bit out dated. I think its really important to have a very powerful machine if you're using it a lot and its a great investment.  

PRO TIP: If you're thinking of maybe getting a new computer consider building it yourself. You'll save money unless you're just going to get some low-mid range computer from Dell or another big company like that. But when it comes to high performance and reliability, you cant beat a computer with hand picked parts that you built yourself, based on your own research. If you have absolutely no clue about anything computer related then maybe you should just stay away, but if you're really dedicated you can find all the info you need online.

Specs:
i7 920 @ 4ghz

As for storage, 2x640gig WD Caviar Blacks for Storage and 1x OCZ Vertex2 120gig SSD for OS + most used apps.
