My next computer?
I like the Vaio's from personal experience with them in the past, and brands like gateway I have never seen a happy ending with their users. One friend went through 2 gateway laptops last year and switch to a mac this year cause she was tired of all of the problems she was having with it. Another friend also went through two gateways an he's had a lot of problems with his non the less. ASUS, I do like the brand but they've only been making computers for no longer then a year or two so they are still fairly new to the game when you look at whose else is out there. I'd check out HP and Dell also as they have a pretty good track record.

My next computer?
I'm all for efficiency and value for you money, but am I the only one that thinks that looks like a train wreck? And that touch pad being where it is looks like it would give me carpal tunnel. iMacs are expensive. But they are coming out with the new quad cores soon, if you were interested in one. Quad doesn't matter, the iMac still needs a better gpu if you wanna run games on it. Looks like a train wreck? I think it looks like a normal laptop. For 800$ it's performance/price value is very good. I look for hardware that is price/performance when someone asks for it, and don't have a specific budget. I guess some more options: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6834152073 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6834115546 The only thing preventing mac's from being "hardcore" gaming machines is that directX isn't supported on the OS plain and simple but with developers like EA and other big names like Blizzard are starting to release versions for both windows and mac as the mac user base has grown greatly within the past two years. If I personally was to get a windows based laptop I would go with a Sony Vaio for the quality.

HEROES SPOILER!!
I don't even remember there being anything new in the commercials, but it completely reminded me that Heroes is starting back up tomorrow. I would have totally missed it if I hadn't watched the superbowl today.

NFL Super Bowl-Post who you think will make it and or win..
Those ones were [bleep]ing hilarious. I have to give the commercials this year two thumbs up :thumbup: :thumbup:. Laughed probably ever commercial break. "Free dorito's at the office today. I THINK THAT WAS A YES! FREE DORITO's!" I died laughing. For anyone who doesn't know you can watch all the ads at http://www.hulu.com/.

You're going.... Scroll DOWN. Down. Told ya... \ Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Steelers played an very aggressive game (the punches) but in the end they got it so got to give them their props. That 100 yard run was insane, I thought the guy was going to die afterward. If they took that away from him... It was a good game though at least the second half was a good game and more specifically the last quarter. The very first drive of the game was a very clear indication that the Cards were in for a rough game. I laughed at mostly all the commercials this year which is what keep me watching the game to be honest. Like that first dorito's commercial and the transformer 2, some sick stuff.

Dumbest Game You Ever Played?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup: Worst game I had ever played was Fighter Night Round 3. I had never played a fight night before but I was expecting it to be like street fighter for some reason, completely the opposite. #-o Fight Night Round 3 is actually pretty good, maybe you didn't know how to play it correctly? I didn't know how to play it that's the thing. I was expecting something as simple as street fighter not something that actually required you to learn punches like fight night does.

Graduation Laptop (reccomendation thread)
I think that you should wait to get your laptop after graduation or wait til they start have the back to school sales because by then you could get either the same laptop for cheaper or get something better for the same and if your interested in getting a macbook at all apple has some pretty good back to school deals too.

Classic games remade?
Not always. Look at SF2THDR Well I'm pretty sure that was remade by a competitive SF player, not an actual company. It was made by a company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Stre ... o_HD_Remix

Skateboarding :) HELP PL0X?
I tried skateboarding like every other guy back in middle school. I could olly, and manual but my hometown was a horrible place to try and learn so I quit. I can still olly and I get like like 2 feet on flat ground only thing I was ever good but I've switched to longboarding when it comes to four wheels and piece of wood.

-Your early days of runescape-
I remember creating my account in 2003 after the bunny ear Easter drop because my friends had showed me the game like the day after Easter or something and I really wanted them so about a week later I created my account Stevepole. The first thing I did was go to Varrock to meet my friend but died to a man or thug or something in south Varrock. I probably spent like what seemed like 5 hours trying to find Varrock again. I ended up in Rimmington before I could figure out I was going in the wrong direction. Eventually I found my way back to Lumbridge then back up to Varrock to meet my friend who gave me a full set of iron or something.

Your Best Game to Play on Xbox Live/PSN/Online?
Back in the day I used to play battlefield 1942, some fun times there. Now whenever I get on live or psn I usually play halo 3 as I keep my 360 in my bedroom so I can just pick that up real quick during a study break. If I want to use my ps3 I have to go the whole extra 15 feet to use it, and it'd probably take an extra 5 minutes to switch all the cords cause my brother has his 360 set up there, and its used a whole of a lot more then my ps3.

Bands that broke up, R.I.P. (2008 or 2009)
So how will bands RIP in 2008 if 2008 is over? Its really hard to say since who is going to flop in 2009 since its basically a guessing game on who is going to flop or do great until you hear new material or some sorta good or bad news about the band. Their isn't much discussion here if you ask me. Also its hard to discuses local band when this is a global community.

Classic games remade?
I can't think if any games I'd like to see get remade, maybe Magic School Bus? I dunno. I'd probably enjoy seeing the original Metal Gear games remade and available through the playstation network or the first Metal Gear Solid game downloadable through the PSN.

Closed. [DO NOT POST]
Dang I was about to post something saying nothing you do is truly random. I think it depends on how your defining random. It also isn't like someone is just sitting here waiting for a "random" thought just to jot down, intended for this thread. My thought was based on the randomness of the action. How random would it be that the person your sitting next to you gets up disappears for a couple minutes then shows up on stage playing a guitar, that's pretty [bleep]ing random if you ask me.

Steam
He said he bought it from stream, I think it would be safe to make the claim that he bought the orange box through stream. maybe this link will help?

Closed. [DO NOT POST]
When people I know ask how random you are it generally isn't about what your thinking but more about how spontaneous you are.. I can't think of my most recent thought though, but it probably had to do with my screenplay I have to write this semester. Oh I got one now, last night when I was at the Lil' Wayne concert, I thought it would be really cool to just get up and tell the girl I was with that I'd be right back and then come out on stage with Lil' Wayne rocking out on a guitar even though I'm never played a guitar in my life. It would of been sick and made major points with the girl. Now you may be asking yourself Lil' Wayne, guitar? wtf but Lil' Wayne is really into playing the guitar right now and in fact his next CD is going to be a rock album so as of currently lil' wayne and a guitar isn't very strange.. google Lil' Wayne Prom Queen to hear his new rock single.

NFL Super Bowl-Post who you think will make it and or win..
You're going.... Scroll DOWN. Down. Hey at least I'm 100% guaranteed to have an insane weekend, that's all that matters ha. Pre-pre superbowl party tomorrow, pre-superbowl party saturday, superbowl party sunday, and if we win the post-superbowl party monday. \ As far as that happens, [bleep] Detroit and their mother [bleep], [bleep] [wagon] Steelers! I'm not going 0-2 with my teams in the superbowl, I can't have that. Detroit Lions? Its Pittsburgh Steelers Ha [bleep], I don't know why I said Detroit.

CARDINALS!! BABY!!! YEEEAAAHH!! Funny thing the steelers beat the seahawks in the superbowl a couple years ago and I'm from washington and now that I'm in arizona we have the same situation so i dunno i hope this isn't a sign that any team that I can support based on my location is going to lose to the steelers ha. That would be the worst.
