I am now moved into my new apartment :-)
This is my first apartment, actually. And the first time I'm on my own. This is definitely most-yah for me. And the cable & internet even got installed within 24 hours of moving in. How bitchin' is that?
So yeah, I'm just really excited. I'm going out to Target now to pick up a shower curtain so I can finally take a shower after 2 days. Ugh, i feel so unclean. Plunger and KY jelly are also on the shopping list.

And also, I'm so glad that I don't buy into this pre-release hype anymore. Hype after release is great because at that point people are playing the game and you know that maybe it's good. All this hype before anyone has even played it though is retarded. And don't tell me about this game site playing it or that game site and they loved it. Best game evar!!?! They are paid shills. Don't ever believe differently. No matter how good the game is there is absolutely no way it is gonna live up to this hype. I'll just stick with WoW for now.

I have a very strange problem/issue with my PC. I noticed it recently while doing Skype while playing Wow, but I've now realized the problem is something else.
Symptoms:
Headphones on with volume up midway, when ever I move the mouse I can hear a very distinct static/clicking noise that comes and goes in precise coordination with mouse movements. Turns out its audible via speakers as well.
CPU utilization goes through the roof --> 70%+
If I'm resizing a window (ie explorer, firefox) CPU utilization hits nearly 100%. (E.g. click and grab corner of window and move it around in rapid circles).
Is this a mouse driver issue? Sound card driver issue? HALP!
Hardware:
Aopen AX45-8xn
P4 2.53ghz
Geforce 6800GT
SB Audigy (1) - latest drivers
Microsoft USB wheel mouse - no specific driver (windows)
Anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

My aunt just lent me her old Pentax MZ-50 film camera to play around with. It looks cool, but I've never really shot actual film with my own camera before. What type of film should I get? I'm thinking B&W might be cool...
Is camera film the same as movie film in terms of speeds, grains, colour reproduction, exposure latitudes and such? How do I find the specs for films (kodak + fuji websites?)? How do I choose a good film? How do I know what speed I want? What are good resources for learning to shoot on film?
Thanks photography people. You are kings amung men. Gods amung instects, even.

So why were 90% of the time trials/hot laps in the game designed to be for all practical intents and purposes fucking impossible on hardcore? Is there some trick or scam artist car that I can use to weasel through these?
I have this small handful left of tracks to complete on hardcore to get my medal but I've pretty much decided that after trying a track for 2 hours and only having a *chance* of getting it done, it's just beyond the point of stupid. I race these tracks flawlessly and at high speeds, and I still manage to lose to the clock. What the fuck car should I be using?

My Sennheiser PC 150 microphone just busted. I Loved these headphones. But after 2 years they are busted. I'm willing to go buy something a little better. What do you reccomend, that has a mic?

Dammit, I've probably just made one of my top 3 worst mistakes in WoW...
I'm a pally, lvl 38, dps build in a 5 man group full of cloth doing SM Armory. I really want the ravager. Since friday, I've been running SM to get to the armory for the drops, but due to extended badlucks, I never got to herod and instead did cath/lib about 10 times each.
So, I finally got to Herod, tanked him but couldn't put up my bubble so I died. He had like 5% HP, so it wasnt a big deal. I had a soulstone on me, so I I said "hey, lets rez"... but I pressed 'release spirit' instead!!!!!!
End result? the rest of my team killed him, Ravager dropped and I didn't get to roll. GG!

so i just bought an ipod and i'm trying to rip a bunch of my cds and for the most part it's going fine. However I'm running into a few cds that the cd drive isn't even recognizing. I can open up "my computer" and the cd drive looks just like it does if there is nothing in it and itunes doesn't see the cd either.
It's making me mad since most are ok but there are some good cds that aren't working!

I have to write a compare and contrast essay for a movie class on a series of selected movies. Comparing them with a movie of my choice. I figure the easiest one would be Hitch...
What other super ghey movies are like hitch? Boy finds girl, boy tires to get girl, fucks up, ends up not being a pussy and getting girl. Wow there must be a million, but my mind is blank.

Anyways, good to be home finally. Had good times, especially last night. Thanks to kbnerd for hosting me. If he tells you his place is the size of a dorm room, believe him. At least he took me to some kickass ice cream shop "this morning." Very good stuff.

So how many of you finished the single player without losing a single fight? I'd been humming along pretty well (like 22-0 with 20 KO's) but I've now confronted a guy that I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose to. Smacks me around like a bitch. Also, the last 5-10 fights, my stats are starting to pale in comparison to all the people I'm being set up to fight. At this point I'm nearly 15% points below in every category and I've trained to the max ability in almost every pre-fight training session... sucks.
Anyways, just curious. The game has really grown on me over the past few days.
