Amazon recommendations

[d_stilgar]

I took my coin jar to the Coinstar. I got 89.71 in Amazon money because coinstar doesn't charge if you do that. I am looking for recommendations for what I should get off amazon. I'm looking for anything from DVDs to games, to books. Anyone have any ideas? If you do, post them here.

Hah! I beat Crimson to it

I would definitely take a look at that book if you are a modder. It's packed full of goodies!

The list goes on...

Things you might need for your computer.
Presents for your loved ones
Eragon and Eldest (books)
Video Games
Blank media
MP3 Player
Music

Bawls Soda! Mmmm.... ;)

i'm actually getting Paul's book for christmas =]

[AKA_RA]

and now the dream is a reality...

Paul no longer has to pimp his own works, other people do it for him free of charge ^_^

as for the 89.71, it doesn't look like there are many things out there amazon doesn't sell. Perhaps upgrade your gaming hardware? I.E. mouse, keyboard, gaming surface, etc.

This (http://www.amazon.com/BFG-Technologies-RatpadzGS-Gaming-Surface/dp/B000853QUS/sr=8-2/qid=1166732691/ref=pd_bbs_2/103-3206391-5152651?ie=UTF8&s=electronics) is seriously the best mouse pad I have ever owned. Lasts forever and a day. Although I dunno what BFG has to do with Ratpadz, I got mine from the guys at HardOCP.com, where a person should buy it, lol.

Books man. Buy books.

Open your mind.
Open your horizons with them.

There are TONS of great books out there....
Are you a big reader?

I recently pre-ordered this (http://www.amazon.com/FLCL-Ultimate-Edition-DVD-Collection/dp/B000ION2I0).

[d_stilgar]

I actually have that mousepad. I love it.

I'm not really into anime that much, so that set, although a good buy for some, would not really float my personal boat.

I read quite a bit. I have a lot of books that I have read and a bunch on a list to read. I've put some onto my wishlist. Yeah . . . I've just been browsing and browsing amazon lately.

It seems that Amazon doesn't sell computer stuff that I would really want, like a new processor and mobo.

Just for fun and the historical view of it, I received this (http://www.amazon.com/Pirates-Silicon-Valley-Anthony-Michael/dp/B0009NSCS0/sr=8-15/qid=1166753118/ref=sr_1_15/002-3992021-4792819?ie=UTF8&s=dvd)today from Amazon

I bought it on ebay 2nd hand last night.

It is currently making its way across the world to me now.

Aussie pride =P Time to show these guys what Aussies can do with a set of tools and an old case mwahahahahahaha.

I added that pirates movie to my wish list.

What I've decided on, so far . . .

Calipers for measuring more accurately for when I make 3D models. $22
Sustain pedal for my keyboard. $15

That leaves me with $52. I'm really thinking about Paul's book.

Here's a link to my current wishlist. I guess people can tell me what to get based off of this list if they want.

ive had that book for quite some time....i always refer back to it if im unsure...or just need some ideas

great read

edit:
those calipers....be VERY careful with them if you want them to last any.....as a machinist...ive used calipers for quite some time....i personally wouldnt buy anything less than 50...but thats a different level of work......just make sure you keep them very clean....away from where you are cutting etc....cuz one stray particle falls into them...they will mess up and be less accurate

I also have a ratpadz, frozencpu edition. It was on sale. Sweetest 8 bucks I ever spent.

Pirates of Silicon Vally is a surprisingly good film.
Revolution OS is a good documentary about linux.
Just as a random ass book option I would say The Disinformation Book of Lies. It's a great encyclopedia of the left hand path.
If graphic novels are your flavor, Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. It's a hugo award winner, and a damn good series.

Your wishlist is massive. I'm sure you'll find something.
