Okay, not really a phone version of DN but something a lot better than what I've got now. All I really do besides making phone calls is texting and taking pictures, then sending those pictures in a text. I like the phones with keyboards on them but many of those feel cramped. And a lot of the ones that have two megapixel cameras have really bad photo quality. I really like the iPhone but $200 for a phone is a lot of freakin' money.

Watershed just had a 3 month cycle in my car.
The last week I've been really digging Chainheart Machine, the guitar work in particular. Track# 2.

I liked the singer on newer Soilwork as well, but this album gets more play. Remind me a bit of Load
I'm a huge Tool Fan. I make no apologies.
Anything with really good vocals can be substituted for some heaviness.
Would love to buy their Album on Amazon.com or even better their own page.

Is there a good one to grab off of Steam for my laptop?
The game would need to be single player as I would like to play it on a plane or on the bus
I was thinking of getting Spore maybe. Any other suggestions from Steam. Sadly, Spore is not on there.
Maybe The Witcher? Need to be able to play without a mouse and can just use the trackpad

ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!
You those things which annoy the fuck out of you, but others don't seem to get?
For me, its dishes in the sink. I don't mind if they pile up in an orderly fashion next to the sink, but if there is even a cup in there, i see red. Yet it seems there has always been at least one housemate in my 9 years of sharing that does it. I realised this morning that i hadn't had a mini sink-rage incident for almost a week now, so good.
Of course there are other benefits of living alone, like getting a blowjob sunday night in the living room while watching TV :)

That's a shame. She always looked like she had a nice set. Hopefully she stays healthy though.

hello there! if you're interested in playing on an Open RVR server, there's a few of us that are going to be playing Order on Chaos Wastes, which also happens to be a RP server, as well as Open RvR. before you crap all over RP and talk about how retarded it is, that's not the point. while you can obviously RP if you want to, you don't have to. the people that play, for the most part, are older, less faggy, and there will be much, much less barrens chat. the community, from what I've seen in other games, is much stronger and less spammy and childish on an RP server.
as for the Open Rvr, it looks fun as hell. it may not be for everyone, but it adds a hell of a lot more excitement to the game, at least in my opinion. anyone interested in playing WITH LAKREN?

I'm not asking for an explanation of it; it wouldn't impart any knowledge to me. My brain is not made in such a way that I can understand what iambic pentameter actually is. I can learn a lot of stuff, but I'll never know what it is.
That's all I wanted to say.

When I search for something in Google, I get different results depending on whether I use Chrome or Firefox. Like, wildly different.
I've been noticing that something was up for the past few days, as results from the Danish Wikipedia have been ranked higher than the English Wikipedia. Which is crap, as the Danish version is nowhere near as comprehensive.
Today I did a Google search for "playtv", the new PS3 tv tuner thingy. In Chrome, I got a bunch of useless Danish gaming news articles. In Firefox, I got the English Wikipedia entry, two YouTube videos demonstrating the product, an official product description from Sony UK, and articles from a handful of gaming blogs (Kotaku, Sony Insider), as well as one link to a Danish playstation blog.
So Chrome gives me shit results, Firefox gives me what I'm looking for. Annoying. But I guess this means that Google aren't (or at least suck at) doing the advanced profiling that a bunch of people are worried about.
TL;DR: Chrome makes Google Search craptastic.
