Welcome to MK, at least you're beginning to understand.

What's weird? I personally am of the opinion that there's no such thing as weird. 3nodding

Halloween is my favourite holiday eveeeer.
Really? Besides christmas it's probably my worst, then again. To each is own...Or something.
The dressing up and general weirdness of Halloween is fun. Christmas is my next favourite. Which do you like then?

So, I didn't get a beer from any of the houses while trick or treating... but I did get 25 pieces of candy! ^.^;;; I know... I'm awesome. lolol Actually- we went out pretty late around 9:30ish. By that time everyone had hit the bar, so we headed there as well and I actually ran into some old school mates. All and all the night was rather great. How about everyone else?

Candy?
Relaxation?
Scary movies?
Ghost stories or shows? ... did anyone watch TAPS?
I slept. xd

Well, that's not entirely accurate. I did watch Freddy vs. Jason and The House of the Dead since I felt like watching bad horror movies. I got sleepy before watching an actual good horror movie (either The Fog or The Descent), unfortunately.

Quarantine was honestly pretty cool, but after seeing the Spanish original, Rec, it seems kind of lackluster in comparison. It's not that Quarantine is a bad horror movie, but certain elements of Rec (like how the female lead isn't whimpering the whole ******** time) make it stand out more in my eyes.

In other movie news, Plague Town looks pretty intense, even if it's another "wacky family in the boonies" kind of deal.

Defiance has James Bond Daniel Craig creating a Jew Army of Refugees to fight the Nazis. Edward Zwick hasn't done a single actual bad movie so far, so I'm sure this will stand alongside his other work.

The Unborn looks like a nice change of pace from all the torture-porn horror movies.

I'm very sad at the small chances of My Name is Bruce coming to San Jose, much less the Monterey area. San Francisco's somewhat likely, though.

Gran Torino looks like something I never thought I'd want to see: Grandpa Dirty Harry/William Munny vs. Kids on his Lawn. I missed Clint Eastwood's scowl.

Dare I say it, JCVD actually looks like, well... a good Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. I can't believe my eyes.

Despite some recent not-so-hot choices in movies, Jason Statham remains a believable and overall impressive action star. The Transporter 3 looks to restore some energy to the dead-after-one-sequel series, and seems to have all the energy that the original had.

Push looks like a**. Chris Evans and Djimon Hounsou are both charismatic and likeable, but this is a definite "wait for DVD" kinda movie.

Splinter has the same feeling as Feast, and will hopefully be similar. I'm not expecting anything fancy from this, but please, don't make it some kind of secret government weapon again.

Finally, Soul Men looks like a fun, appropriate send-off for Bernie Mac. crying

Moo>Ah. Personally I have yet to see a meeting accomplish anything that matters.
A few years back my mother basically explained to me that she was one of the few people who took the meetings seriously and how annoying it was to have this one guy working against her to try and not-help productivity because of some corruption thing he had going on.

There's really not much I'm waiting for moviewise. Then again I've never been a heavy movie watcher so that's not surprising. I'm just dissapointed in the death of my LGS. I hate ordering game materials online due to what I've found to be the extreme unreliability of internet orders. I don't know if I just live in an area where our mail delivery guys are idiots or what but ordering stuff on the net successfully is rather random.
I haven't ordered that many things off the net but I don't order a whole lot from it.
Basically all of my bad electronics service has come from dropping off laptops for repair. My first one got tied up in the system for over a month before they figured out that I DID have a warranty and that they should replace the faulty parts.

I have some god awful luck with faulty laptop components. I'd think it actually was all my fault if I didn't have such a good record with our desktop computers.

Laptops are lame.

I build my own desktops.
Laptops are lame but they make for convenient lan parties and are probably my best option for burning up time between (and during) classes.

Also always having access to a computer means I typically don't have to worry about homework at the last minute. There's almost definitely a bunch of short, lame stretched of time on the train where doing homework is better than doing nothing.

Well I think I'm almost to the end of Vesperia. I've got my airship. Most of the map is showing now. Plus I'm getting weapons of smashy doom.

Yeah, laptops have definite uses.

But as a gamer, I have no real use for them.
I dropped enough money that the gamer issue isn't one.

Well, other than how MSI won't put out a new driver for the nVidia video card but I bypassed that.
I'm sure that shooters will demand too much for my laptop pretty soon here but that's not my favorite genre anyway.

You can get a "gaming laptop", but it costs a ridiculous amount of money, can't be upgraded [some support upgrades of one or two parts, but that's about it], and can't be built at home. Moreover, your screen size is obviously limited and, like you said, there can be driver issues due to hardware differences.

I couldn't imagine gaming on a laptop, anyway. Way too small for me.
