    God, minecraft is a dangerous timesink.

    But man I just love playing it.

    I don't do much in the way of construction, but I just love spelunking.
    There's just something pleasant about wandering around the dark catacombs collecting stuff and fighting off mobs.

    Though I am trying to branch out into construction, but I need more materials before I can attempt a big build.

    Also I've been playing Little Big Planet 2, which is just AMAZING.

    Seriously, it outclasses the first game by miles.

    And the creativity is just outstanding.

    I played a point'n'click adventure, a RPG, an extreme platformer (which had very tight timings), a creator within a level, and Metroid.

    I think the best game title I've heard in a while is "Stealth Bastard: Tactical Espionage Arsehole".

    It's apparently like "Meat Boy plus stealth", and it's free, so I think I'll give it a shot.

    Got a new 750GB external harddrive today.
    (It was on sale)

    And my god is it better than the other one.

    The other one may have 2x the space, but its almost 3-4x the size!! O_O

    Its powered purely by USB too, so I don't need to carry a power supply now. :D

    My laptop sure needed the extra space. 500GB is not enough for me these days.

    I decided to use it as a quick storage.
    So I plan to put all my GOGs on there as well for quick access, (so if I want to install a specific one, then I can just plug in and run the install file), and I've already moved my music over, and backed up a few large Steam games I'm not currently playing.
    (I am not redownloading Dragon Age: Origins: Ultimate Edition. That is 24GB!!)

    The main harddrive will still be used, but as I said before, its mostly where I dump all my files.

    This little handy dandy device has already won my love. <3

    Great news everyone!
    I have cancelled my World of Warcraft Subscription. :D

    Welcome back to society. We hope you enjoy your stay!

    You wouldn't be saying that when you're T-shirt and hands are covered in dribble... -_-

    (He's moved to the arm of the sofa next to me now. I think he got the hint that he's not going to beat laptop this time... (But he's getting a shoulder massage, so its not too bad for him at least))

    EDIT: But it is nice to have a cat that even after all these years (13!) can just come up to you randomly for a nice cuddle. :)

    Got a new 750GB external harddrive today.
    (It was on sale)

    A few questions:

    Is it reasonably fast?
    Is it USB 2.0 or USB 3.0? (or does your laptop support USB 3.0?)
    Where did you buy it?
    How much did it cost?

    I have been looking into buying either an external HDD or an external enclosure for one of my old internal HDDs, but I've been held back on pricing and uncertainty about external device speeds.
  • edited November 2011
    Ditto. I'm running out of hard disk space fast. I want to move my Steam client and games to an external. Had to remove more than half my Steam games off my drive.

    I moved to two 2 terrabyte drives a while back because of all my media.

    Ok. So I've been hard at work inking my backgrounds. Almost done with the new batch. Tonight working on them while I watch the Secret of NIHM.

    I actually started writing a Nanowrimo thing! I probably won't get 50k words by the end of the month, I think, but I may very well finish the story. Which is, as of now, a story of mystery and terror, combining elements of fantasy, hard boiled detectives, and gothic horror into something that I hope is at least readable.

    Love it seems
    Made flying dreams
    So hearts, could soar.
    Heaven sent
    These wings were meant
    To prove, once more.
    That love is the key....
    Love is the key.

    Its reasonably fast, (about the same as my other one)
    USB 2.0 (laptop doesn't have USB 3 ports)
    Tesco
    £50
    (Well £45 since I get discount. :D)

    VOTING DAY!

    Normally I don't vote anti Republican for the sake of it, but the Tea Party scares the bejeezus out of me, so I'll be voting against just about anything they approve of.

    In 2008, I voted but I wrote in Victor Sullivan.

    In my experience, it doesn't really help. :P

    On the other hand, I hate my place and desperately want to live...well, ANYWHERE ELSE.

    Apparently Hershey's is going to make it's own version of an Aero Bar.

    I'll have to try it, see if I can deem it good enough.

    They already have. I've seen it.

    I have this sneaking suspicion that this sort of product is just a way to cut down on the actual amount of chocolate, and personally I don't see the practicality in buying air.

    The texture is different and it actually does make for a different eating experience. It's nice.

    Haha, pretty much this.

    I've lived in a fair number of places, some of them have been nice, some have had their benefits, and one(the horrendous hellhole known as "The Atlanta Area") is a source of constant torment, horrendous weather, unbearable people, and an infrastructure that seems built in such a way as to be a parody of an awful infrastructure rather than to actually function.

    Anyway, that's beside the main point, which was that "staying in one place" really doesn't help me. Since I want to LEAVE this place, dating someone here is probably a bad idea, since while I'd happily uproot myself, the person I'd be dating might not be as eager.

    I'm attempting to imagine the food you eat, and the result is that I'm envisioning these extremely dense, dehydrated cubes of meat and plant matter.

    I will only begin said significant other search once I grow up. This will probably take a long time.

    It's not that, it's just that it seems that food products have been getting smaller (candy bars noticeably so) while their price either increases or remains the same, and that whipping air into a chocolate bar is just another way to appear to include the same amount of food in a package when really the package is less full (or in this case, filled with air) in an effort for food companies to sell less product per package without the consumer taking notice.

    That's a little vague. In my case I can proudly state that after ten years of searching I have ultimatively given up this spring.

    This day has been crap.
    My dog has had allergies/flees lately, and she goes nuts.
    Just now, she literaly ran right through the table my laptop rests on. Flipped the laptop, and the soda I was drinking on the floor. Spilled the soda on my laptop, and now it's dead with no hope of fixing it.

    Now all I have is this piece of crap that
    A.Quite literaly only works every 9 trys
    B.Is slow as crap
    C.Is incredibaly weak so I cant do any good games
    D.Flat out sucks!!!

    I hate my dog.
