    Oh geeze my eyes were bigger than my stomach when I put together that salad.

    It was delicious though. Working out before eating makes you feel ravenous.

    I love how you can't just pick what you want to see. You have to tune the channel and wait for it.

    No time-shifting for you! You WAIT for your cartoons!

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I get a lot of calls from people who have computers that take full on 5+ minutes to boot.

    I just feel spoiled. My computer boots in 20 seconds or so and I was playing Minecraft while listening to iTunes with Chrome open to several tabs while sitting in queue for TOR while having Shareaza active with a few torrents.

    And my computer did not slow at all (yay for 16GB RAM and four hyperthreaded cores, I guess). I honestly don't know how people stand computers that chug when opening one program.

    *looking up five guys* In the grand scheme of burger joints they don't look particularly unhealthy, they do look tasty though. Shame according to their store locator there aren't anywhere near where I live.

    Fresh beef vs preservatives you can't even pronounce, flash frozen, and then reheated with microwaves?

    Gonna have to go with the beef there buddy.


    ^^^^

    Five guys is DAMN good. Best thing is you can buy a small fry and feed a small African nation with it.

    It's cool. I just want it to be an action game, not an MMO, when it comes to combat. When I play a trooper with a machinegun or whatever I want to mow people down, not press my mow people down button.

    Probably the least healthy thing about Five Guys is the portion size. They give you a shitload of fries.

    MMO combat is leagues above KotOR's combat, so I feel like TOR is ultimately a major improvement as far as that goes.

    Now, to justify purchasing it after having bought several other games...

    nah I get it. It's just that it's never really been done successfully it seems like. Even planetside was a lie. It was still tossing dice when you held down that trigger.

    For an MMO, the combat in ToR is really good, I think.

    Huh? It's been a long ass time since I've played planetside but I don't think that's a true statement at all. Planetside has some pretty simplified combat due to server load (everyone had one hit box, a lot of weapons were hitscan, stuff like that) but I don't recall there being much in the way of die tossing.

    So I was going to order TOR from Amazon since I have 30 dollars. I want my so I can just download and not worry about a physical copy. Well its 60 bucks, I was hoping for 50 like most games. So ugh okay. And only physical copies? Damn it. So I go to check Origin just to see the digital copy, 60 bucks and all sold out.

    Guess the world doesn't want me to have TOR.

    Maybe it wasn't dice tossing then. But 1 hit box to me is pretty much why did you even BOTHER? And in a skill game, IMO, a level 1 should be able to beat a level 10 if they're good. They made that where it was virtually impossible.

    Either you have a skillshot game or you don't.

    Wait.

    Origin is 'sold out' of the digital copies of ToR?

    That doesn't even make sense.

    The only Mugshots I've been to is the one in Hattiesburg, a really shitty bar, which I think has nothing to do with the Mugshots I always here people talk about.

    But really.

    If I want a burger I just hit up Roosters in Fondren.

    oh but if you got a guy in here that "understood the way digital copies work" he'd tell you you were wrong and stupid.

    No. No we're not. You're not sold out. You're over capacity. But over capacity is not sold out.
