Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

[WOOT OFF] Here we go again!

    Yeah, I really don't understand the desire for Roombas. Maybe it will change once I get my own house, and it takes more than like 2 minutes for me to vacuum my entire living space.

    It is a robot that does your housework for you.

    It is not about it being some super functional thing, it is about it being a robot.

    I'm hoping my roomba will help me keep the floor a little more clear than I have been lately.

    Maybe I'll name it. Captain Suckington sounds like a good name.

    Sir Sucksalot.

    Even better.

    Not to drag the thread OT but I bought one of those $500 Dysons a couple of years ago, too. That's probably the best $500 I ever spent. I have pets and it absolutely cuts through all of the hair/dirt they leave behind. Makes keeping my place somewhat clean so, so much easier.

    A Roomba I can't really use - but a Scooba I would be all over.

    good grief - $500 for a vacuum? it must have quite a lot of suck. You could buy a fleet of 5 of these roombas instead, and send them at each other, deathmatch style. I can't imagine how much better a $500 vacuum could possibly be than, say, a $100 or $150 one. If it somehow vaporized the dirt so that you didn't have to empty it out and clean it, I might be sold =p

    edit: eww. wine. it's totally not going to sell. get comfy.

    I'd get a Roomba for the novelty, but it would probably overload trying to figure out the layout of the house. It is a cross between a minotaur's labyrinth and an M. C. Escher painting.

    yeah we were in a long standstill. . . who buys wine? cheap wine? on the internet? That just smacks of quality.

    I really hope the bar on this one is stuck due to technical issues and not a lack of sales. The tracker I'm watching right now is estimating 38 hours left and going up by an hour around every two or three refreshes (3 refreshes a minute).

    Edit: Thank god. Dropped down to 20% and 7 minutes left.

    Did you know:

    * 40% of all property damage is caused by water
    * 70% of toxic mold is caused by water leaks and plumbing failures
    * 1 of 3 insurance claims is for water damage
    * 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot (not these, of course)

    Also:
    “You shut yuh mouth, Margie! You don’t know a blessed thing about football! We were gladiators, Margie! You could trust a man like you can trust an activated Leakfrog to emit an alarm for up to 48 hours or until turned off by the user!”

    “Rock… I didn’t mean no harm, I was just…”

    “You was just runnin’ yuh mouth, Margie! You want some statistics? How about this, how about 40% of all property damage is done by water!”

    “No, Rock!”

    “How about… how about 70% of toxic mold is caused by leaks or plumbing failures?”

    “No, Rock! I’ll scream, I swear it, I’ll scream!”

    “How about this, Margie, how about this one? One in every three insurance claims are for water damage, something the Leakfrog 2 Pack can warn a homeowner about!”

    “Rock, oh Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock. What’s become of us, Rock?”

    “What’s become of you, Margie? I’m the same person I always was. Maybe I just figured out what’s important.”

    “What’s that, Rock? Just a bottle? I’m second best to a bottle? Rock… can’t you love me like you used to love me?”

    “Just get out, Margie. Just get out and leave the Leakfrog 2 Pack. That’s all that matters now.”

    Fuck yeah Woot Off.

    For anyone curious the BoC I got from the last Woot off was a sweet little backpack and like 10 or 11 56k modem connecters for a cell phone. The backpack is cool though.

    EDIT: Cool little cars... they should go quick.

    Hmm, the tire pressure reader system is pretty cool - but way more expensive than what I'd be willing to pay.

    Mother fuckers... So I chose to pay by paypal (I'm that lazy), and instead of going through my credit card like I wanted it to... The bastards take it out of my bank account instead. Fuck! I don't have that money in my bank account.

    Sorry... Venting. Please forgive this post.

    If I had the money I'd buy all the scooters to resell them. That price is seriously over half off of retail, and they're listed as new.

    If I had money to burn I would buy those things, bundle them with liquor and beer, and sell them to fraternities for $10 each... on the promise that they would videotape the results and I would retain exclusive rights to selling the footage. It would make Jackass look boring.

    So what ended up being in the BoC in the last woot off?

    I bought 3 BOCs. I got a backpack, a folding pen/highlighter, a fake deck of cards that shocks you, and 2 wireless headsets for oXbox.

    Basically, crap. :-)
