    To the warsow server I play on I get a ping under 20. I think that is either in Sydney or Melbourne. Everything tends to be sub 50 between VIC and NSW though.

    I'm getting like 140+.

    Maybe my housemates are torrenting the entire internet or something.

    I don't see why they can't just buy the DVDs or even just watch what they have already downloaded instead of downloading more shit that they'll never get the time to actually see.

    if we still care about metal:

    Wolves in the Throne Room is indeed awesome

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07XF5uKZlgw

    I am also really into Woods of Ypres

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ju1TVKldX4

    and if you have the patience for slower shit, Shape of Despair is a lot of fun too

    I have Uriel to thank for introducing me to this band. Not really sure if they are metal, but they are pretty clearly fans of Sabbath and are supporting/have supported Metallica I think.

    It's about giant cows

    well the entirety of the doom/stoner doom genre is pretty much varying degrees of Sabbath worship

    there's nothing wrong with that because sabbath owns though

    I mean Black Sabbath (the song) pretty much started the entire doom metal genre and is still one of the best examples of it

    Just got my internet hooked up, finally.

    Ran a speed test, got 50 mb/s download, was like "Uh, I'm not paying for that."

    Then ran it again, this is closer to what I should be getting.

    My internet is slow.

    If I wanted to pay 100 bucks a month for internet alone I could get 100 whole mbps.

    When I move I'm probably gonna get slower internet too, because the higher speeds they want you to package TV and phone.

    I don't need a phone.

    One time I got the phone + Internet package because it was a better deal. I already had a cell phone, but hey, my parents both have cell phones and a house phone.

    The only people that called that phone were telemarketers. They called every day. Fuck those phones.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the cable company gave out our current home phone to a bunch of local telemarketers.

    But it's so totally not a great deal.

    Internet alone in our package is like 70 bucks per month for a 20mbps line.

    And I was wrong, it's 100 bucks a month if I wanted a 50 mbps line.
