Ever.

Oh got copying and pasting on the new software annoys me I have to hit copy ten times for me to be able to paste what i highlight and that's on my ipad mini

Picked up the Iphone 6.

Are you sure that isn't the iPad in an iPhone box?

That's what I thought. I'm still happy with my 6.

Dude, you're using like, a four year old device. My cousin has the same and he's having the same trouble as you. With Apple, you kinda have to expect a degrade with older devices when they use lesser hardware/chipsets, and one gig of ram.

Awesome, I'm jelly.
My birthday is Friday, so I'm going to try to talk my wife into switching to the AT&T Next plan in order to upgrade. It would add ~$30 a month to our phone bill, or $60ish if she gets one too.

I'm leaning towards the 6, but as I said, messing with a 6+ today and thinking about playing games or watching movies (to be honest, not things I do a whole lot, but enough) I am tempted by the gargantuan 6+. But geez it is huge.

If you can, go 6 Plus. I'd have gone for one, but they didn't have any, and having the 5, and realizing the pocketability issue, settled for the 6. But now...I'm working on getting a 6 Plus!

. You'll get used to the bigger screen. Also, please go for anything over 16GB. Trust me, unless you're good on offloading your media or want to play What Do I Keep, 16GB will fill up quick, especially over 2 years with iOS updates.
I also have Next on both my iPad Mini & iPhone 6. Definitely a great choice if you can't afford the device outright & want to avoid a contract.

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat with you. After updating to iOS 8.0 I noticed sluggishness and slight unresponsiveness. Hoping 8.1 with make it better, but I've been hesitant. Haven't found reports of the like, so haven't found any solutions to this. Btw, iPad Mini LTE 16GB 2012. I may Next the new Mini 3, but don't see the worth as it has the same guts as the Mini 2 just with Touch ID.

Some things that all came in around the same time:
FansProject Function X-4 Sigma L (not Mindwipe)
Masterpiece Wheeljack
Gobots Tux & bomber guy (they were cheap at a retro gaming show last weekend. Tux just needs to be cleaned up)
Mugenbine Gear Tortoise (leaving me with just Leadsaurus and Wing Bat to find)
LEGO Santa's Workshop, Snowspeeder, and 1/2 of this year's exclusive holiday sets
and the big one: Sealed new Drill Boy to complete Super Build Tiger. The box is faded, window plastic broken, but the insides were 100% unopened. The biggest issue I'm having is the glue on the decals is very dry and they keep peeling after I've applied them all

Crown Athlete · 10-23-2014, 12:28 PM

Finally completed Super Buld Tiger, nice! I wish I kept some of my Yuusha toys..ah well. Anyway, about those Mirage TMNT figures. Wow they really suck, I just returned Raphael. Even by American standards they have limited articulation. I wish NECA could reissue theirs.

ShyGuy · 10-23-2014, 03:25 PM

Got the Matsubokkuri, Kurumi, and Sid Lockseeds today. Unfortunately I was one of the individuals caught in the CS Toys mishap with these, but thankfully I managed to find them for reasonable prices on Mandarake.

Guyver Spawn · 10-23-2014, 03:33 PM

I got this shirt a while back. I totally love this shirt. One guy at Gamestop ask me if the shirt was some type of Viewtiful Joe video game.
