Well then try a TV. Or just RMA it. I outlined what to do for a desktop, of course. Good luck.

Watching Spiral Staircase #15. Though I suppose I should be preparing for the exam I'm having on Monday.

Ordered the following today...

The Sims 2 Bon Voyage
The Sims 2 Freetime
The Sims 2 Apartment Life
Pink Floyd - Echos (4-LP set)

The "The Sims 2" stuff is for my sister. I got them for $15-20/each from Amazon, so I ordered all three. The Pink Floyd LPs are for my uncle--he asked for those from MusicDirect. Since I know that's a good store and I loved the customer support (I gave a call to their audio consultant and waited <1 minute, never hitting a button, and got a real, live person!), so I decided against looking on Amazon. Any company with such a direct customer support line deserves my business, and then some! I love stores like that.

So far I have the above 4 items, as well as two 2GB MicroSD cards (again for my sister) and a pair of Microsoft LifeCam VX5000's in red (for my mother and stepfather). I still need to find something for my grandparents and maybe for my little half-brother.

I can't click it. I just saw something worse than the Vasudan pin up model.

 

You're not refering to my picture, are you?

[Stormkeeper]

You're not refering to my picture, are you?

Nope. I saw a big bunch of 30-60 year olds last night dancing to the macarena and the YMCA, and I they were dressed as a nurse, policewoman and air stewardess.

Somehow the quality of the movie Okto is showing looks like they're playing a pirated VCD ... Anyway, I just re-installed Dark Crusade and Soulstorm. For the Emperor!

[ssmit132]

The macarena. Oh, that brings back memories. We had to dance to this in our year 9 drama performace to some year 1-2-3s.

By some odd twist of fate, my computer just spontaneously fixed itself

[Snail]

If it spontaneously fixes itself, it's likely to spontaneously unfix itself later.


BTW, it's 5am here in the UK

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I just watched A Bridge Too Far and Battle of Britain with my dad. Pretty cool, even though these films were made in the, what 60s?

[Stormkeeper]

I overwhelmed the Imperial Guards. No mean feat, I can tell you that, since I'm Necrons. But I outnumbered them and overran them. 'Overran' being a relative term here.

Reading the 'Dragonmaster' Omnibus atm.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm currently reading up on Santa Claus.

[Stormkeeper]

I engaged the Orks with my army and dropped in four squads of Flayed Ones, two from my honor guard, behind them, and crushed them. I love doing that, and watching their morale drop like flies.

Then I realised I had an appointment, so quickly saved and quit.

A work colleague of mine was killed after falling from Mount Cook in New Zealand. He was a good man. He will be remembered.

Christmas is coming up.


I hope you guys are pumped.

Sorry to hear that Darius, my commiserations to his family

[Stormkeeper]

I found Warcraft 2, but I can't seem to run it... Do I need a DOS emu?

A work colleague of mine was killed after falling from Mount Cook in New Zealand. He was a good man. He will be remembered.

Wow. That sucks. Condolences to his family.

How awful. I give my condolences as well. 

[Mars]

Did he enjoy climbing?

[Bob-san]

I built a city in SimCity 4.

I have made a surplus nearly the entire time--and even when I don't, I typically have a nice amount of cash. Right now I'm up to something like $2m in reserve.

[ssmit132]

I didn't bother with SimCity 4 after I couldn't get Rush Hour to work properly. It kept giving me an error on Graphics Rules.sgr (IIRC that's the right file name), and following instructions to fix it didn't work. 

Have you heard of the Legalized Gambling/one road tile trick, Bob-san?
