    Aren't you all getting RDR for the 360?

    My brother/roommate already has it preordered for the PSTriple.

    Man I hate this thing. I love my PS3 more than my 360 but the rest of the world is not with me on this.

    you have chosen poorly nocturne

    So I pull a skin tag off of my foot and then bleed profusely.

    Apparently that skin tag was plugging a very important hole into my body.

    What you should have done is tied dental floss around it and waited for it to fall off.

    Guys, if you want to get into a profession for the cute girls, go into biology.

    There are so many hotties around. The lab that I go to in order to use the spectrometer is entirely comprised of pretty ladies, most of which have adorable accents.

    It's true.

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    You know I have been thinking of taking classes in Biochemistry to see if I want to major in it.

    As in this is a thing I've been wanting to do for quite a while. Cute girls are always a plus.

    Goddamn there are so few women in engineering classes.

    Long ago I was an education major. At one point I was told the school of education had a 3:1 girl to guy ratio. And most of the members of that school loved to party.

    i can't get SC2 to work on my compy D:

    you got invited to the beta?

    it didn't come out while I was gone right? that'd be fucked up.

    a very good friend of mine got in as well.

    I'm pretty sure the solution is to give me your acct name and pass and let me play instead.

    Gamestop and Amazon are giving out free beta keys when you preorder SC2.

    oh so while I was away I met this 40something black guy who worked at the place and he is HARD into games. I told him I was at PAX before going there and his eyes lit up. he goes at them from the achievement/trophy angle, which I can respect since he plays a lot and likes to get a bang for his buck.

    he was awesome and also got me motivated on gaming as a hobby again, I lost that because I never fucking had money.

    That isn't going to annoy anyone at all.

    Why not just have a centralised mailbox instead? Nobody expects immediate responses to anything sent to those.

    It does not appear so. Not with this company (that I think I prefer) anyway.

    There is another company I could get high speed internet from (it's the phone company, so it's not cable internet--it used to be DSL, but I'm not sure what it is anymore). They don't list the features as clearly as the other:

    Up to 5Mbps for $44.95

    Up to 10Mbps for $54.95

    [Edit]
    I don't really have any high volume internet practices (Torrents or Streaming or anything like that).

    if it ain't turrets it ain't happening.

    i won't lie all this talk about build queues and "shaving a half-second" and clicks per second make me not want to play this game.

    LaOs I know 60GB sounds like a lot, but if you watch videos online and that sort of stuff you re going to blow through it. I think the bandwidth cap would be the deal killer.
