He's meeting Obama on Friday.

How did you not know this, its all over the news?!

😄

Those questions were begging for sarcastic answers. :I

Funny though.

Question 1 is just mean...

WTF is with question 1? Didn't he die in exile due to stomach cancer?

Mean teacher is mean.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is the greatest space opera ever, hands down.

After seeing the finale I felt compelled to point that out as a matter of principle.

I don't know if this is e-sarcasm or a genuine misunderstanding.

Actually Warhammer 40,000 is the best space opera ever, and Magnus the Red is a much better character than anyone in that pile of shit.

Warhammer 40K is a tabletop miniature wargame without a real on-going plot.

I.e. It sucks.

S-shut up. ._.

Whereas Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a glorious 110 episode epic about the rise and fall of the greatest heroes of the two nations of humanity, mirroring the underlying theme of Autocracy vs Democracy.

It really is a testament to the writing how unappealing it makes having the right to vote look.

Your post stating "Thor is living proof" was just asking for some e-sarcasm 😛

This actually looks like it might be one of the best seasons yet. No more crappy stuff!

Hey neph, if you're still having laptop cooling troubles, here's my fix:
Balance the laptop on a fan pointed upwards, thus increasing the airflow through the cooling system. I've got a clip-on fan that's exactly the right size; a box-fan would also be a good fix. This is effective enough to enable 6+ hour sessions of Civ 4, where even 30 minutes on my bed (w/o fan) is enough to force a shutdown.

That trailer looks so promising. Clifford aside, season 6 was rather underwhelming--here's hoping they make up for it.

Yeah, I'm seriously optimistic now.

Thanks, I brought a cheap cooling mat but i don't think it did much.

I think the problem was more that my laptop just couldn't handle the games. I wasn't a problem with the heat I don't think, it's shutdown while not that hot at all. Apparantly what was happening was that I didn't have nearly enough dedicated memory in my graphics card. I thought I had 6 gb, but that was computer memory, not dedicated memory, so..... 😬

I don't actually know what dedicated memory is though.

Well that sucks. Do you have access to a tower or PC that will make the investment in the games themselves worth it?

Nope! I've had to quit SWTOR but really the only game I'd say I've wasted money on was the Witcher 2.

SWTOR is annoying to run, mostly because the engine ingame doesn't get along with very many things, especially AMD cards. It haaaaates those. But seems to work fine on high-end nVidia ones. Though the best are pretty expensive, so thank god I have money to throw around.
