  1. It's not the cold. When my car starts in the mornings when it's colder compared to the afternoon where it won't start, that's not the problem.

     

    Edit: I've also been looking at Audi's. I've seen quite a few 2005 A4's that are in great condition, especially on the interior. Any opinions on them?


  2. Well my car is having problems again. Got the coil pack and plugs replaced and I had that issue two weeks ago after the most recent repairs where it wouldn't manage to start (until it was dropped off at the mechanics where it would start). Thought it was the fuel pump but they weren't 100% and I'm not blowing $800 to find out that wasn't it.

    My uncle is looking at it now, if he finds nothing off to Ford we go. After that if they find nothing and it happens again I'll trade it in for a new vehicle.

    On chilly nights I like Disaronno Amaretto on the rocks.

    Yum. I like this with a freshly squeezed chunky lemon wedge.

     

     

    Sounds good, ever had it mixed with vodka and if so how is it?

     

    I got my grandfather a bottle of Double Cross vodka for Christmas and he said it was noticeably smoother than grey goose. Haven't tried it myself yet.


  4. Say what you want about Call of Duty, but when you realize the entire point of the franchise is annual releases then I think most will hate it less.

     

    I disliked Call of Duty for a while, but gave it a go around this year again with the last two games. Ghosts (I know, a 2013 game) was similar to past ones with a new story. It had some awesome cinematic scenes in the story but it was merely okay to me.

     

    Advanced Warfare was an entirely new animal though. From the second I first laid eyes when the story began the graphics lured me right in. I am not a fan of games in a futuristic setting (Fallout is an exception as it isn't over the top future stuff, it's a great and gritty) but Advanced Warfare was just different. I think it is mainly due to Kevin Spacey's character within the story, but in general it was something different and unique. I was immersed the entire time, liked all the characters, and this was probably my favorite Call of Duty to date.

     

    Before anyone hates the game before even trying it, I would skip over every Call of Duty and give this a go, just for the story, and the graphics on Xbone and surely PS4 as well were the first time in years I was amazed by how good a game looked.


    If you don't want to play, at least watch the cut scenes as it falls together like a movie pretty well.



    Cut scenes without Gameplay

     


  5. I might ditch my PS4. After being unable to sign in to PSN for 3 days, I've been experiencing issues with the disc drive. It just suddenly ejects whatever game disc is in my PS4 then refuses to take anything. It even starts up on its own and ejects even when there's nothing in the console.

    I googled the problem and it seems this is the PS4s version of the red ring of death the xbox 360 had years ago. There's a quick fix for the problem though in the weeks since it started, the problem keeps coming back. I called Sony and they said they were aware of the issue and I can send it in and they'll send it back within 3 months.

    I'd rather just get a new one though I'm not sure I even want it anymore. I've got an Xbone and the PC version of GTA V will be out in less than three weeks. Anyone else have this problem? It feels malicious too because it usually starts up just as I'm about to fall asleep.

     

    Maybe the problem will be addressed in a model update, but who knows how long that will be.
