Oh dear, that's just painful to look at. No order whatsoever.

Charlie Chaplin did it first....and better.

I think they sell shirts with those on them. I'm sure I saw at least the Wehrmacht Bitches At.

My new Hard Drive arrived and my RAM. Consequently, the Hard Drive is also the worst thing to happen today. Such a fucking headache.

I think that's a bad idea. You'll be stifling our creativity and freedom of drunk speech. That or you'll be forcing the drunks to find other threads to ramble on in.

So happy to see soemone else is reading this comic.

Gaming is grand. Even with the relatively weak CPU, the GT335 keeps pace. I can play Darksiders at 1080p without issue. I haven't tried too much else beyond a bit of FEAR 2 and Borderlands both of which run and look great. Mostly high settings with some medium and low. 720p for the most part, I haven't really been bothered by the screen size/resolution enough to bother with my monitor except for Darksiders (and all the extra screen space for chatting and videos and browsing all at once).

I got it almost 2 weeks ago. It is fantastic. I'm amazed by the build quality, and it keeps remarkably cool as long as it has airflow. I love. The only downside is that it doesn't have Nvidia Optimus where the graphics switch automagically, and without issue. As it is anything intensive needs to be closed to switch, like flash videos, but not necessarily the web browser. Other than that it's great, I've ordered more RAM to go upto 4GB, and a faster larger HHDD (hybrid hard drive, it has 4GB of NAND Flash on it). Of course that means I'm going to have to do a fresh install, and re-download hours of steam games, but it'll be worth it.

And you were jealous of my M11x, now you have something better. I never had too much of an issue with the regular cord on my old headphones. Though my buds just arrived and the flat cord on these seems quite nice. The shorts or the model?

Cast commentary for Scott Pilgrim was pretty entertaining. Brandon Routh showed up late and brought food. They also called a guy and left a voice message during the credits and pointed out that Micheal Cera has a old flip phone.

I have that set. It has a fantastic amount of special features. Though I only ever got round to watching cast commentaries. Twas grand.

:confused: I'm quoting this just to preserve it. I also hope for a translation.

I just go with the grain with a regular razor....that keeps from being a clean shave.

My nephew has the same turtle. It's pretty neat.

Also Nier and Bayonetta. The Hard Drive is a 500GB Hybrid drive. It's a regular 7200 drive, but with 4GB of NAND flash (SLC). It's read only though, and the drive just caches the most used information in the Flash. It's basically the fastest you can get for a laptop without getting an SSD though. (comparable to Velocirapter at times) RAM is Mushkin 2x2GB of DDR3 1066.

Both titles are worth it.... I have been taking advantage of this sale since the start....I hate it. So much. I had 23 games before xmas....I now have 66. Some of those were gifts, but still.

Actually, all of these tools are for work. If she wants DIY though she can asked her husband to do it.

Well, from my sisters house I have acquired: -16x24 Framing Square -16" Combination Square -Drywall Saw (aka Keyhole Saw) -10 pack Carpenters Pencils w/ Sharpener -Pocket Plane -2 Clamps -2 small Vice Grips -Channel Lock brand Channel Locks -16oz Claw Hammer -1/4" Nut Driver -Flathead Screwdriver -Retractable Razor Knife -Tinner Snips (or Shears) -Smile Face Bank (for change). The last one was from my Nephew.

-A Pillow -Socks -Plain White T-shirts -A Jacket (though I asked for a coat...) The day is still young though. I'm likely to get tools at my Sisters house.

Those aren't gloves, their leg warmers for your wrist.....It's finally happened, we've surpassed the silliness of the 80's. Hells yea to The Rescuers though. A classic.

I got a pillow! I only know this because I basically saw my mom wrap it.

Well look for good brands, and read up on what northbridges are high end and which are low. Make sure the form factor is something that will fit in your case. Generally not an issue though as mid and full towers will both take Micro-ATX and ATX, but some cases are odd (generally HTPC cases). The placement of components can be important as well. A common problem with some boards is that a large aftermarket heatsink can interfere with some of the RAM slots making them unusable. You also have to think about cable placement and the distance between other hardware.

I personally ain't got shit yet. Parents have gotten things though, for instance Blackberry Wine (in an odd coincidence as you got something similar). Also, hell yea Catan expansions! Let me tell you though, Vanilla Catan vs. Seafarers, or Cities and Knights make for vastly different games. I don't know how Traders and Barbarians plays though. Which expansion did you get?

As far as I can tell the Intel graphics in that laptop is the one capable of playing Starcraft II. Supposedly around 30 FPS on low, but I don't know the resolution. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-HD.23065.0.html

The one from Cex what brand is it and is it new? nvm Lenovo Is a reliable brand from what I understand. Don't bother trudging through the site as this is the only laptop fitting within 400-500 and having discrete graphics capable of Starcraft 2, as seen below. Around ~40FPS while on Low@1280x720 and ~20 with Textures and Graphics set to Medium. You could probably play around with them to find what is acceptable to you. Don't jump right on this though, keep shopping around first. Right now manufactures are having some pretty good sales compared to some of the online outlets.
