You guys like 70's/psychedelic rock? well these guys the buffalo killers ( http://www.buffalokillers.com/ ) are playing in cambridge on WEDNESDAY night. I'm going, if any of you fgts think they sound good let me know!
I saw them out of the blue in rochester,ny and they were super cool, so you have my 100% correct musical preferenceâ„¢ (beetles suck) to go on.

Never understood the fawning over this band. The Sunday marathons of their music on the radio stations and the collective orgasm over Rock Band's release.
Most of the music, to me has not stood the test of time. I do not hear it "bumpin" in cars or coming out of homes.
WHY?

It begins! :(
players can play the game as much as they want, but there is a daily quota of "energy" that is used each time you play. As long as you have "energy", your kills will earn you in-game credits that can be used to purchase better gear.
If you are out of "energy", you can still play, but you won't earn these virtual credits. Energy is recharged daily, or if you're out, you can purchase energy at any time. Game pricing has not yet been announced.

My laptop running Vista is acting weird, right after coming back from a friend.
By weird I mean super slow and a huge svchost process (150 mb) along with another for 70 mb.
I'm sure it's teh virus :(
And I have Avira free installed, I hate the antivirus programs these days.. They're useless :(
Malware bytes says it's clean.
Super antispyware says the same.
Oddly, Spybot S&D found a Trojan (refpron) and removed it.
What else can i try? is there a new hotness in the battle against evil spyware ?

Also, I'm pretty sure I played that damn game for 12 hours yesterday. This is after having already put several hours in and playing all the tracks. I started screwing around in the tournaments and some of the skill games after work, then a friend came over and we took turns for a few hours, and then I was up until 5:30am trying for golds and platinums. And that was mostly in the skill games. I've only tried super fast runs of a couple of the regular tracks. =(

The thing is, my cat hates it. She will growl and hiss and lunge at this cat until she goes away. The black cat doesn't mind, and she never hisses back. She just takes it. But if she's not around, the black cat will come in to our house and chill.
My question is, how do I let my cat know that the black cat is cool and should be treated as a friend? I don't want them fighting all the time. I think they're both female btw.

Well.. I didn't have any issues personally back then, but I do now with the latest version of NXE (what do they even call it now?)
My sound goes on and off now all the time, getting more and more annoying.
If a certain sample (lets call it new explosion sound 1) is triggered - then all sounds stops for a short time.If that same new explosion sound 1 is played a second time, no problems at all.
Well.. imagine playing a game - and now imagine all the various of new sounds triggered all the time, and you kinda get the point. I wish I could override the new NXE version..
Anyone getting the same New Xbox Experience ? :/
