Nig forgot about The New iPad which is eight.

If someone says to me that they purchased a new iMac I'll say, "Good job! You purchased a monitor with a hard drive in it for fifteen hundred dollars!"

That's another valid answer.

Last thing I thought : You can't recharge two Apple devices at the same time. The failing one will display the correct icon on the top-right corner but the battery will still deplete.

Seriously, what the fuck.

[maps.google.com] Google is probably the best at this of stuff.

I wonder who they borrowed that Famicom from? And they even did the old "blow on the cartridge" thing.

If you ever decide to go for a mobile phone, listen to cmal and get the Korean one. And fuck Apple. Up the ass. With a strap-on, if you have to.

LTIT : If you want to go for a tablet instead, Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks awesome but Apple is trying to get it banned from every country because they are butthurt and use copyright infringement as an excuse. That's racist !


Fuck Apple indeed. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I decided to go with Motorolla Razr Maxx since the battery is so huge.

And I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It looks awesome but takes forever to recharge. Other than that minor thing, I love it.

Ah, so it has a downside as well. I usually recharge my stuff overnight so that wouldn't have been an issue.

If one of my friends ever needs a tablet, I'll definitely tell them to get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 over that iPad crap.

Shit, I'm probably the only one here who still uses 8-track, cd, cassette, and record players - I had to look up the Galaxy tab and iMac...I'm feeling really old right now.

The only reason I "bought" an iPad was to try and stay away from the hormonal urges during my 5-week forced break and play random free apps.

And no, bakabombdood, you're not alone. I still use a videocassette recorder and my most advanced gaming system is a PlayStation. First generation.

I love you, marry me?

Also I'm thinking about buying a new Toshiba computer, I've fallen way behind (tech-wise) and can't really play anything new on my laptop.

Oh, because my laptop was incredibly cheap (cost me ~250$ refurbished) and I couldn't afford anything better at the time. I really didn't have much of a choice <laughs bitterly>, I was in a bad position financially. Now, though, I can get one, but the paranoid side of me is telling me to wait until I've saved more money (should shit happen).

No, I mean why would you play games on a laptop at all? GFX cards run super hot and laptops can't cope with that kind of heat. Gaming laptops have to have a chassis specially designed for it. And if you're getting a desktop, Toshiba wouldn't be on my list of choices.

If the main intent is to play video games, build yourself a PC. It will be cheaper than getting a gaming-worthy laptop.

Really? I haven't had any issues with it, hell I've even run and beaten Fallout: NV on this (128 graphics card). Well I'm no expert when it comes to computers so I'll chalk it up to being lucky.

I would like some advice regarding what kind of desktop I should look for, what would you recommend? I only stated Toshiba because that is what my laptop is.

For one, I don't think Toshiba even makes desktops anymore. You should try to build one yourself, either from scratch or a bare-bones tower and upgrading the necessary components. Sony has a small line of desktops, but they're really pricey. HP is pretty decent. My dad has a Gateway and he's always complaining about it. Couldn't say about the smaller manufacturers.

I see, thanks for the tip. As for the Gateway, no way in hell am I touching that, all the models I've come across just plain suck (I haven't seen one that survives past the 4 year mark either).

A game dev replying to a customer e-mail ? That'd be a first.

Also, fuck you, EA. In spite of their extremely rude and disappointing answer ("wrong service, contact Game Advisor who doesn't even know that the game was made by EA and thus won't assist you, won't forward mail to relevant service because 5 seconds is too much to ask) to my sugary mail that took a whopping 1800 seconds to write and polish, they did fix all of the bugs that were mentioned in it.

You're welcome, motherfuckers. Also, count on me to abuse every bug I find from now on because that's how I roll when I'm in a frustrated mood.

Which is pretty much most of the time. :3
