    My dog will be big and like to cuddle. It will like to do other things, but cuddling is a requirement.

    If you buy an Old English Sheepdog I may give in to your persistent marriage proposals just to ensure consistent fluffy dog access.

    eee hehe! Those dogs are so delightful. The dog I had when I lived in Arizona had some Sheepdog in her, but also Cocker Spaniel...and miraculously looked like very much like a Border Collie.

    I saw a newfie puppy the other day and told the owner what a cutie it was. Also a few weeks ago I saw a dark grey dark with perfectly round white spots. It. It really fucked me up but I was in a rush so I couldn't stop to ask what the fuck type of dog that was.

    I recently told my boyfriend's parents that the best they can expect from me will be "grandkittens" instead of grandkids, to which his dad half-jokingly replied, "Kittens don't get college trust funds." I kinda shrugged at that one, because kittens also don't go to college. Vets, kitty litter, and the best cat food money can buy still don't add up to $40k a year unless there's some other outlying problem.

    Last week I bought a new used car for a cheap $800, and not even a full week later, I'm paying $700 in repairs because the muffler & pipe were effed. And of course Lemon Laws in my state don't cover owner negligence!

    Man, Ive finally confessed that my Netbook is a piece of crap. However, it is the only computer I have now (other than my wifes Mac) since my 6 year old Dell Workstation died.

    I really want to get a Mac Book Pro, but it is so horribly expensive! Does anyone know a way I could get a cheaper one?

    I have confidence in your abilities MT. Just design a box that you can throw at a college student that will both ensnare them and gently remove their laptop from their person and feed it to you.

    Cake, I'll give it a shot. At this point I just want it to work and not ask me to pay them 12 dollars a year every 5 minutes in the middle of my IM window.

    So following E3 so far...is anyone else already kinda tired of all the CG trailers consisting mostly of badass badasses badassing around badassily?

    I think my attention would be grabbed a lot more at this point by a trailer that had a main character acknowledge that being one guy trying to fight tens of thousands of aliens/soldiers/demons/monsters/terrorists singlehandedly and therefore constantly getting shot, bitten, stabbed, dismembered and exploded is a pretty scary and shitty position to be in.

    Beefy badasses are getting meh, but they wont go out of style as long as 13 year olds exist. I'm interested in the desert game from the flower developer. I've been nostalgic for the worlds of squaresoft, ff7, chrono trigger, and ff9... memorable music is something I especially miss. Seems like that sort of game is lost.

    Oh man, I wanna play this so bad! Also, Mass Effect 3.

    Funny, I didnt type the M in Mass Effect and realized that a game called Ass Effect probably would be an erotic spin off.

    Journey looks cool visually, but I still don't know what the hell you actually are supposed to do in it, and why it's supposed to be entertaining.

    I really hope L.A. Noire is making 'stand up and take notice' amounts of cash, because as grim and gritty as it is in terms of tone, it's a rare big expensive game where the main character isn't an ultra-badass (and is in fact quite flawed as a person) and has as its primary game mechanics something other than throwing future grenades down people's throats and watching them explode in a slow-motion orgy of gore.

    EDIT: I don't even mind crazy action badass games, but for fuck's sake that doesn't have to be every game.

    Garçon! More muscles!

    Seriously though, I generally don't play bad ass games any more. Unless they involve really big swords in some way, but mostly I get weak in the knees for games doing new stuff and not treading over the same ground with better graphics, physics and sound. I fucking loathe the call of duty series, for example.

    Skyrim should be good though, until we realise we're wasting huge chunks of time just running around doing chores for NPC's. Much like oblivion and morrowind before it.

    I'm leaning more towards appeasing the manchildren demographic since that's who tends to make up the bulk of release-day sales.

    We already have Duke Nukem. It would be nice to have a few more Freemans and Freewomans.

    It actually has a lot of nice new parts and is in wonderful driving/running condition for a '98. Considering I've only put $2k into it, and as long as it lasts me at least a year, I regret nothing. I wouldn't have even cared about paying for the fix had I known about it, but it was one of those "not gonna know it needs fixing unless you're looking for it or it breaks" kind of problems.

    It's not that I mind helping out NPC's, but when they ask you to travel to the four corners of the globe, to find a guy, to give you one piece of a four part key, that will unlock the door on the other end of the map, so you can walk through a cave for 2 hours to slay a giant fucking thing that wants to drink your blood, so he can get his potato shovel back, I tend to get a little miffed.

    I'm generalising. Everyone knows the "Jesus fucking Christ" you let out when the NPC tells you the mountainous pile of inane and boring tasks that you have to scale in order to achieve *thing*.

    I seriously can't remember anything that arduous in Morrowind's main quest
    the letters of rec for the Mages' Guild in Oblivion was pretty dumb though

    edit: oh wait that thing you had to do in blood moon where you futz with the elements- that was pretty tedious
    not enough to make the game bad
