Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Dec 10, 2010 5:00pm PSTBoth the evening and the weekend are upon us again, whether they've been confirmed or not. Not to mention that Apple named Weekend Confirmed one of the best audio podcasts in its Best of 2010 feature on the iTunes Music Store. I think that deserves a round of applause. Horn tooted.
With the holidays and 2011 right around the corner, overeating and overspending become the current priorities, as is avoiding the bony, groping hands of Old Man Winter. (He's one creepy dude.) Pretty much all of the big games for 2010 have already been released as well, meaning that between now and... well, January, it's backlog clobberin' time. Honestly, I'm just glad to be back into the swing of things after a week of vacation-induced sickness.
So, grab a cup of hot chocolate (or an Irish coffee, if that's your thing), curl up by the fire, and wrap yourself in some nice warm chatty.

So, I somehow managed to exempt all my finals in school and am now done. This is awesome.
I start a new job in January, but am currently not working.
So other than a trip to Vale Colorado at the end of December I have pretty much NOTHING substantial to do for the next month, a situation I haven't found myself in since I was like 15 years old.
Now, because I still am unemployed I don't want to just go out a bunch and spend money without any income (I have the money, but if for some reason the January job doesn't work out I'll need it to survive looking for a new one).
So, other than just play video games and watch TV ... what do you guys recommend?
I'm sure I'll be hanging out with friends as they get back in town / finish finals but that still leaves a lot of down time that I'm not sure what to do with!

my whs system put a gun to its motherboard last night and committed suicide. Won't even boot up or give errors when I pulled out all the memory. Its dead jim, fucking shitting capacitors took it out.
So I have an X4 system here ready to go that I was using for a different build. How can I transfer all my old stuff over to the new motherboard and CPU?

Pretty cool game so far, still not quite used to the controls and need to get better at parry versus just swiping but it seems like it will be pretty fun. I hit level 5 I think on my first playthrough and the god king dude is 50 if you care.
Took maybe 45minutes to get through the castle but I might have taken a shortcut (found a path not 'circled'). Also this one playthrough used 10% of my battery on a fully charged iphone4g if you care.

A decision by the local Salvation Army to refuse Harry Potter and Twilight toys donated for its Christmas campaign has angered some Calgarians.
Capt. Pam Goodyear, a Salvation Army spokeswoman, said the Christian aid organization doesn’t support witchcraft, witchery and black magic.
