Mine isn't, because dickwad here decided to get a completely random socket i5 that there are very little upgrade options for! Damn you socket LGA1156 :(

Do you need portability?

Do you care about price?

These are more important questions atm.

I don't need portability in my life, I have an iPad and an iPhone. I had a Macbook Pro before (got it for the price of one KFC meal - long story cut short - I have a very thick brother) and I loved it to pieces, it would mean that I could sit downstairs and actually try and socialise with parents as opposed to being so antisocial sitting up in my room. I love OSX. The price of Macbook Pro will probably equal the price of my gaming PC - so either way, the price is set quite high.

Macbook Pros are stunning but far, far too expensive for the specs, have no disc drive, and a maximum of only 250gig storage.

It's my dream machine but they're simply impractical, even ignoring cost.

I have an external disk drive if I ever needed it. 250GB of storage is fine, everything is 'in the cloud' (hate that fucking term, everything is online... deal with it) and all my music needs are spotify, so no worry about that.

This one - damn at that price.

Well I take on board what you say but I guess I just accept there is weird shit on the world of webs and find it better to just have fun with it that quiver in fear. A bit like that AWESOME fanart thread for example.

True. I enjoyed that thread for the wtf factor and absurdity if anything. But it is established that those things will be in that thread and aren't generally posted elsewhere.

You don't want to narc on people having fun but sometimes it's like "dude this isn't appropriate here". If I was a mod I would have just made an announcement about creepy behaviour and let the thread continue. But it doesn't really matter as the OT will be up soon and when it goes to community it's pretty much free to talk about whatever.

Heads up adventure game fans:

This week's humble sale is a Telltale collection. Has Back To The Future, Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, and some other indie adventures. Pay (at time of writing) $4 to get The Walking Dead, too.

Linkage

Have most of it already, but Walking Dead for $4 couldn't be resisted.

Overcast is actually good, as it means no sunburn. A little sunshine is nice, but too much sun all weekend is bad news for pale gingers such as myself. The rain I could do without, but if it's just a little on the Sunday I can live with that.

Fair enough :) I suppose as long as I don't have to walk through sludgy mud to get around then a little cloud isn't too bad.

I understand. Guess I just thought Tashbrooke 'slabelling of some people "freaks" rather off putting. I think the mods would have been better off just closing it for being a community/OT thread before the OT.

This is one of the greatest thoughts mankind has ever come up with. So simple, yet so deep.

I don't think he (or I) is 100% serious with his bashing of creepy anime/Animal Crossing folks, please don't feel too offended. Overzealous japanophiles are just easy prey. Y'know, cos they creepy an shit. :p I know your tongue is fully in your cheek with your avatars and stuff and its certainly fine to enjoy these games and comics, but you must recognise that there are certain very visible elements of those communities that elicit a definite ick factor from most normies.

Anyway, I may take the piss but I don't judge really, and neither I think does Tashbrooke. Brb, gonna go wank to some AC hentai or summink.

I like some of her stuff, but that whole Modern London-based folk scene strikes me as very calculated and cynical, from Noah and the Whale up to Mumford et al. I probably shouldn't get into it right now, but if you want to get my ire up, ask me about these bands at the meet and I'll froth at the mouth for 5 minutes :)

Pretty voice though lol.

Mumford and Sons career could be summed up thusly:

1.Write an EP's worth of material
2.Play those songs slightly differently with a few changed lyrics for the course of two records
3.????
4.Profit

They are so fucking dull man. Not even bad particularly, just utterly devoid of ideas.

Edit: If I hear that dead stop unified acapella vocal harmony, followed by an energetic jingle jangle hoedown of banjos one more time, goddamn. Change the record boys!

Or better yet, just stop altogether.

Yes! You fucking know it man!! They are so fucking cynical to the point where I wonder if they have actual disdain for their audience. Just feed em the same ol shit, eh boys? So long as there's a big chorus coming in 30 seconds. Ugh. I feel like boy bands standing up for the key change is more honest.

Mark E Smith, drunken mess of a legend that he is summed it up best for me - "I was talking to the promoter who's a mate of mine and said, 'look, don't take the piss. You've stuck us next to some mongoloid Irish folk band.' The promoter turns around and says, "they're number one in your English charts." I thought he was fucking joking. They started clopping about singing, sounded like they were dancing on the tables - so I told them to shut the fuck up."

I once embarrassed myself for railing against them while getting my hair cut, only for the hairdresser to tell me they were her husbands favourite band and that she got him the cd for Christmas and he loved it (despite the album having come out months before Christmas - you'd think you'd have your favourite band's cd a long way before then...). At which point I realised that other people have a very very different relationship to music than I do.

Expressing a negative opinion on a band as popular as Mumford and Sons to a hairdresser you don't know is an amatuer mistake

Yeah, I realised it as I was speaking and I could see her expression souring. And when I finished she was like "well um, errr, I think they're great and they have good songs" and I thought yep, this is why people didn't like me at school.

You have to feel them out by dropping as many Danny Brown references as you can first. Like ask her what her pussy smells like; if she says cool ranch Doritos or a penguin then you know you're in there.

So yesterday whilst in the IRC Chat, I had a great chat with KentPaul and JTourettes about working out!

I'm hoping that from this day onwards things are on the up, I got my first proper pay slip from my new job (£500 more than what my last place paid me) - I am going to sign up to the gym very soon. I'm going to be able to save up more money to get myself out of debt, treat myself a little bit and buy some things that could potentially bring happiness. Two of my closest friends that I pushed away around three years ago are now back to being my closest friends - all I need now is the social life and I will be happy (in theory)

So lets see what happens! :)
