Is there anything free that would let me print to a .pdf file or any other format that isn't this fucking .xml crap that nobody knows how to open and produces a corrupt file half the time.
The key word here is free, and also .pdf, but I'm open to other formats or solutions if you have anything better to suggest.

So while my girlfriend went through Leukemia a couple years ago she had 66 blood transfusions during the 8 months of her treatment. Now her family is hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive and of course I want to donate some because I realized how essential it was in her victory over cancer.
My question, how many Shackers have given blood and how did you do with it? I'm pretty squeamish around blood, do alot of people pass out?

Am I seeing this right? Someone dropped this on the candy banana factory floor, stood on it, leaving the imprint of their size 9 in it for all eternity, and then put it back in the packet hoping no one would notice.

My grandma bought a Wii a few months ago. She likes it! She also bought a Wii Fit. She really likes that too.
So, being the awesome, kind hearted Grandma that she is, she buys a Wii Fit for me too, for my birthday. She then goes ahead and ships it to me express mail so it can arrive on my b-day...
today.
In Japan.
Yup, so today is my b-day. I get a package in the mail. Oh no... it's Wii Fit :( The US version... Which won't run on my Japanese Wii.
Thanks Nintendo for tricking my 70 year old grandma into thinking Wii was a great and easy to use platform... bastards.

What a superb game. And the ending may have been long but it was an ending. It did a fantastic job of wrapping up the story, only had a couple of groan-worthy lines (sup Raiden), and was a great end piece for the franchise.
And the gameplay was enjoyable throughout.
