Happy Birthday everyone.

What's with this? My birthday is in 7 days.

Is there anyone who doesn't have a birthday in July or August?

It was meant in jest, as I am sure that you are aware.

I have 8 siblings who were born in (respectively):

February

March

April

May

June

July (This one was born this year.)

September

December

I don't have a computer to play games on...

:'( my old one died... Mayitrestinpieces.

Thumbs up to you, sir.

RTS's are awesome.

I'd say this about my HP, but.................

I really, really, hated it towards the end of its life. Now, the destiny of my HP laptop computer is set to be:

1) MAGNET POWAH!!1! against the HDD. Because if there's anything of mine left, it's effectively irretrievable and, ergo, useless. And I don't want anyone toying with my stuff.

2) DA TRASH MONSTAH!!1! will eat the device. Unless I decide to take it apart.........though I will need to recover the RAM chips in it, as IIRC they are aftermarket upgrades, and the original RAM chips are in a drawer somewhere around the house.

That's fine. RTS games are great fun......and, ironically IMO, generally have lesser requirements than some FPSes.

Oh, my favorite part is the Deniable Ops mode......granted, I rather despise OnLive right now for not allowing me to save my progress........but they do have to make a buck, so meh.

I'll probably tag it on Steam, once I get my new lappy.

Interesting.......generally, I can make it through the Deniable Ops missions on my own pretty well.

Side note Oatesy- what's your preferred loadout in Splinter Cell for Deniable Ops?

I find that I really like either the MP-446+MP7A1, or the Walther+MP7A1. The former's better for stealth, but the latter can be more fun..........and you get more Marks to start with on the Walther.

Well see, that's the difference. You loved your Lenovo till it died. I, OTOH, rather despised my HP at the end of its life.

This is why I am happy that I migrated back to my 5-year-old Toshiba Satellite before the HP had the chance to fully die.

As I noted before, Toshiba's new Qosmio series is gaming-designed; a good 1/1.5 GB memory discrete graphics solution is available on all models. I personally prefer the Satellite A660 series, for the simple reason of price (it's cheaper*), it has a 1GB discrete graphics card, and is also suitable for all the gaming needs I foresee for myself.

I got around 6-7 hours, and then had my first job interview. Working world, here I come!

Also, building up money for my knew A660-series will be very, very nice.

*This is important as I am planning to buy a MacBook Pro for a friend. Complete with Apple's topline professional sound editing software.

........

Yes, I still dislike Macs a great deal. But they do do a handful of things really well. It doesn't hurt that said friend is already very familiar with Apple's GarageBand application, which uses the same engine as their (Apple's) professional sound editing solutions.

You must have seen what we have already posted.

Happy tired, achy(just got 3 immunizations, and I feel bad) birthday, me.

boom.

I HAS JOB.

I get paid too.

And I don't have to start school until august 29.

So that is your excuse for not writing more of your fanfic. You even got me hooked in it.

Very well then, your off the hook... for now
