It's me! I have returned...from yesterdays post....

I think I did alright with my math test...I hope I did, if I do it'll all be thanks to Eagles, what a great help, I couldn't have done it without him.

Hope your having a nice birthday Jen, and if anyone wants to have some 'fun' I'll be on gabbly. Ask for the link if you need it, or it's on the page before in a post by Eagles.

WOOOH! 4005 post, hopefully we get to 500 on Christmas day, just post as much as you can, if not then then we can try for New Year, probably impossible. But don't be stupid about it either. Then we can PAAAARTAAAAY!

But aren't you able to put you VC games onto an SD card? If that is even true?

And get a load of this 3rd Party-Nyko wireless nunchuck!

http://au.gear.ign.com/articles/840/840028p1.html

I know it wouldn't be a nunchuck 'so-called' anymore without the wire, but who cares if you need it, who cares what it's called, I guess we really need some more info on how it runs, like batteries, and the button layout looks a tad weird I think they should be just below the Z-button, to either side.

Also, it's 3rd party, I dunno. I might wait until Ninty releases one, I don't need it anythime soon, I'll wait for reviews. How about you?

I am having difficulty comprehending what's going on here - and I dont even feel drunk. I shouldn't - not after two drinks... that may or may not be high in alcohol. I think maybe it's just because I'm tired. I WAS woken up at the ungodly hour of 7am. Yes, ungodly.

... I came here for a reason. Really, I did.

Well, anyways thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! It makes me happy - a lot of my friends didn't bother to wish me happy birthday. I guess I still need to check myspace - but the ones that haven't done it yet don't USE myspace.

... I am just going to go and concentrate on the msn conversations.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great partay

I am now halfway through galaxy the second time but now i stopped because i recently got orange box. Its bloody awesome, even on the lowest settings in everything [thanks to my trusty notebook]. Half-Life 2 and Portal for the win!

But now is the time for me to get a new notebook and i have 2 choices [3 actually but who cares]

HP Compaq 6910p Excellant notebook processor Core 2 duo 2.4GHZ and a class 3 graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 - 128 MB. It will be a decent upgrade from my other laptop and ill be able to use HDR in HL2-Lost Coast. The fingerprint scanner and extremily sturdy casing is a great bonus. $3,300

MacBook Same processor but with 2GHZ in the up-end model and a class 5 graphics card Intel GMA 950. Its almost a downgrade from my current [and unrepairable] laptop however it is faster and has the extra OS [10.5 leapord] so synching my ipod will FINALLY be an simple task. However due to the unbearable crappy graphics card, i wont even be able to play the original Half-Life. Even running project64 will be a problem. $2,600

Hmm...I'd say MacBook Pro, but their crazily overpriced, look for the Toshiba Qosmio or Qosimo...? not sure if there's a new model out but my bro got the lates one and it has all you'd need, the model before it had the fingerprint thing but it was much bulkier, it's about 2500 but if you get it on eBay it's alot cheaper, originally it was about 4000 here.

I wouldn't go for a Toshiba I've been using one for school for the past 4 years, I've found they're quite fragile, they can't take many bumps or drops (Yes you shouldn't normally do this but sometimes it can't be helped) and seem to enjoy screwing up at incoviniant times. I'd go for a MacBook over a Toshiba any day.

On another unrelated note watching the simpsons hour on ten after work this afternoon showed me that they indeed sometimes show the same ad more than once on the same night I never would've beleived it. In fact there was at least ten gaming related ads throughout the hour, 3 of them being the NFS: PS ad.

I have Toshiba. It's good. Its slow - but it's never broken, or needed any kind of repairs. I have never dropped it though, or done any serious damage too it. Now I am going to stop typing because I can't type when I've been drinking. I never made ssense

The two models ive listed are the only ones under the school warranty. So its either of them.

The Hp compaq is the better of the two, with a sturdier frame and better graphics card. But i dont know if its worth the extra $700 [prices are fixed].

On a topic relation to gaming, does anyone have Team Fortress 2? If so contact me for a match.

Hey Diomedes, I'm about to get it now. I'm getting the Orange Box. Did you get it from Steam? Or did you buy it some other way? Is so on Steam PM me your account name for steam.

Yes the wireless nunchuck does look pretty cool, but the wire doesn't bother me much though.

Yeah I gotta say I never had a problem with the nunchuck wire to begin with so won't be getting this.

Now an Englsih question I'm trying to think of the word that you call someone when they say something sucks but never have had any experiance with the thing they say sucks, I just can't think of the word, anyone help me out?
