Late to the desktop party I hate having desktop icons, it feels so unclean. Anything I frequently use is pinned to my start menu. As for browsers, I use Firefox Nightly, which is the beta build of Firefox. It's far more stable than release Firefox, with all power. I don't mind chrome, but what ruins it for me is the awful adblock that can't even block YouTube ads and the lack of customization in general. I use it for battlelog for BF3 though.

Grade 11 Physics, Precal and Phys-Ed. If I can get my schedule adjusted, I won't have to go to school till 11am.

Good to see the Back Room back. I'm still working on that game idea I had months back, and my easy semester starts soon so I should have the time and energy to work on it then. I think you and I may be the only active RS players in here though. I'm still semi-active. I'd consider joining a Tavern clan, seeing as the HYT clan has pretty much fallen apart.

I think Romney is going to end up winning the race. I don't see Rick Perry lasting much longer. He may stay through SC, but I think he knows his chances are slim. Huntsman is pretty much out too, unless he can pull something off in NH on Tuesday. Gingrich needs to win big in SC if he wants a chance, but I can see him staying in the race longer because he can. Paul also needs a big win if he wants to stay viable. That leaves only Romney and Santorum, and I honestly can't see Santorum staying in the lead because his views are just ridiculous, and he could never beat Obama because no moderate would support him. I'm looking forward to the debate on Saturday. Watching Romney and Gingrich go at each other should be amusing.

LOL I have yet to see an article on the Ocean Marketing disaster. Someone care to give me a tl;dr version of that event? It was all over reddit, but I couldn't figure out what the big deal was.

Bring it back! It may motivate me to try and organize a Victoria 2 game, plus I just enjoyed the random musings of the tavern, minus the overly dramatic posts.

I made bank this Christmas/Boxing Day. I got another year of Xbox Live, the Paradox pack and soon Skyrim on steam, some Warhammer 40k stuff, a bunch of chocolate, and a hockey stick that is actually big enough for me, plus about $200 from my family. Boxing day I picked up Saints Row 3 and a new 360, which is going to end up being basically free once I sell my old one. It's going to suck having to work tomorrow though.

Hmm, can't think why that would be then. Can you force the slot active in the sound control panel?

I got my xbox back today, and for some reason I was just tearing it up. I ended up getting Team MVP 3 matches in a row; on the final one I had over 6500 points compared to the next best guy's 2000. I haven't been doing so well on PC though. I think I need to turn my graphics settings down, which makes me sad because the game looks so good on Ultra with 4xAA. How do you all find the M416 compared to the default assault weapons? I don't know if I should bother going for the ACOG on it, or if I should just stick to the M16/AK74.

Merry Xmas everyone. Still an hour and a half off here, but I'm going to bed and probably won't be on tomorrow.

Dick and harry pricked the cat's tail with a thorn in order to retard it while chasing the mouse. An obscure and unlikely sentence, to be sure - but these words do have legitimate uses. I remember [bleep] Cheney being a common occurrence back when he was relevant. I support the loosening of the censor, although I do miss [Cabbage].

Unstable Nightly builds. 95% of the time it's the best browser in the world, but every so often they release an update that makes it less stable than a 13 year old girl after a break up. EDIT - http://www.facebook.com/pages/it-iz-a-suuuu-wuuuuu-fing-round-ere-BLOOD-GANG/130642633613072 These people make a good case for eugenics...

Do you have the HD audio connector plugged in properly? I had accidentally plugged in the legacy connector (AC_97 or something) which wouldn't detect headsets.

Agreed

Hmm, I have an old Visa gift card with a couple bucks on it, I guess I might as well pick this up.

I needed that laugh.

So, the Paradox pack is on for only $75 on steam and includes pretty much every newer Paradox game. If you guys can afford that, I think we could have a fun time with it. If you can't afford the whole thing, EUIII with all expansions is only $15 and even better Victoria 2 is only $12.

HOLY CABBAGE PARADOX PACK ON FOR $75 DOLLARS!! I SHALL NEVER LEAVE MY COMPUTER AGAIN!

I don't have exams till the end of January. My Chem and History should be fine, but I'm not looking forward to my English exam, which is in class and needs to be written by hand over a 5 class period. I'm honestly just hoping to get a 71% class mark so I can bomb the exam and still pass. Also, anyone have experience with Dynex TVs? There's a cheap one on sale that I was thinking of buying my mother for Christmas, but I've read mixed reviews on them.

In the summer I like a nice lukewarm shower, but straight cold is just brutal. I need my hot morning shower to relax me before school.

I'm looking forward to the Winnipeg-Detroit game tomorrow. We've been playing really well, and if we can beat Boston we should have a decent chance against the Wings.

I wash my clothes in cold water. It preserves them longer and does just as good of a job at washing your clothes, and uses less energy all at the same time. Only difference I've seen in my short time washing clothes is that hot water gets out certain stains like chocolate and fruit better.

Which was the point of the article, and the point that every single commentator missed. The title wasn't "Why Marijuana should never be legalized", it was "pro-Marijuana arguments that aren't helping". Also, product keys. I can't play the Age of Mythology expansion because the key was written on a sticker on the back of the case, and it got scratched off. I hate when game companies go with terrible DRM like that. I have a pirated copy of Sim City 4 on my computer because my authentic copy won't run without the key I've lost.

Attaboy! I played 10 hours of the Karkand expansion today. SO MUCH FUN new guns are way cool Karkand's out? *Runs to play Battlefield* EDIT: Only for PS3? Damn you EA.
