I got a new PC not too long ago but I really need to build one for gaming and better performance. These that I just buy mainly for streaming and browsing aren't fast enough for me.
|
I don't really use my computer for extremely high-end things, no games here that really tend to tax it, but I would still like a better one. Or better parts, rather. I mean, this one's "okay", but give me more power, oh ho ho. Also it's like what, three years old? Or maybe four. Obviously time for a new computer. ;D
Although first thing I would definitely need before doing anything is a bigger case, since I've already run into problems with it being too small. |

I don't really use my computer for high-end things right. The only games I've played on my laptop since I got it were N64 games. |
I-I actually just bought a new computer. Previously, I've had the same Sony Vaio since like...2010? And, about a month ago I bought a new MacBook Pro n_n I love it. I don't really do much PC gaming (other than Sims lmao) so it doesn't bother me.
|
The PC I have right now does everything I could want so I have no need for a gaming PC as of now. I'd need prefer investing in a PS4 or a Vita.
|
I'm buying an alienware on august. Currently have a razer blade (2.8GHz Core i7-2640M CPU) though it's almost four years old, I'm not good at keeping things. I don't like desktops because I like to travel, gaming laptops definitely cut it for me.
People usually think all i do on my computer is work... but really over half of its memory is gaming-related {XD} |

I'm with Chase here, I don't really do much gaming aside from Pokemon these days.
|
I was considering getting back into League but idk I just can't even find enough interest to patch the game lol
|
I don't really do much gaming these days, either. I have some video games, but..just lack the motivation to play them. Like, I'll open my 3DS and start playing, and then get bored..and wind up on tumblr or something.
|
I don't have enough time to do as much gaming as I want to. If I wanted to I could, but as I want to work on my music I don't have the time to do gaming and music all the time with all the other things I have going on.
|
i still do a lot of gaming. i just need to always make time for video games.
|
i've recently regained my interest in playing video games and now i can't seem to stop? |D
Nintendo's been coming out with some good games lately. there's a few i'm looking forward to by the end of the year too-- like Super PMD. |
Quote:
Splatoon's rockin' my socks lately. |
Wii U probably needs a few more games before I'll consider getting it. :( Mostly because I want to make sure that it won't just sit around collecting dust--
And it became 100x harder for me to type since my cat came out and sat on my hands while I was typing this. Shoo kitty. But anyway, with all the times I see people say they're playing a game on the Wii U together ahhh I do wish I had one right now so I could join in. |
WiiU doesn't yet have enough exclusives, at least that I like, for me to want it that much. Things that are/should be coming don't count until they're out.
all i want right now is a ps4 so i can play bloodborne and destiny |
how about that weather
Today has been alright I guess. I woke up at like 4 in the morning after going to sleep at about 1 or 2 and then I couldn't get back to sleep. I've just been doing housework all day and I read through a little bit more of homestuck while I ate lunch. Pretty boring day. |
I took the day off and I just played some Uncharted and now I'm just posting around.

briefly going to interrupt this conversation to mention I passed my driving license test today after fucking up my parallel park three times. this is an act of god
|
Quote:
|
Congrats!! Now... is this a good act or god or should we fear for our lives when we're on the road (which I already do because old people here).
ngl i laugh everytime I hear someone talk about having to parallel park for their test because I didn't have to. |
Quote:
|
Parallel parking is so hard for me :( Congrats on passing though! Getting your license makes you feel so free 8)

|
I'll be taking my driving test after my birthday.
I really don't care that much. :P |
Quote:
if you hit a cone, you're done. you can't take the test or redo or anything. needless to say i failed my first test. |
I wish they had tested me for parallel parking on my driving test. But I guess since I was in an area where it wasn't a necessity at all, my driving test was pretty much....drive this way, turn here, turn here, turn here, okay you're done you passed hooray here's your license.
Of course now I live in an area where parallel parking is definitely a thing, so far I've skirted around it by walking everywhere I need to go and not using the car at all (and thus not having to be the one parking) but. :X Yeah. Eek. |
Parallel parking...luckily if you hit the curb you get another chance, so I was able to do it on my second try :P
|
For me the parallel parking was tough but the 3 point turn was the hardest part of the test :(
|
I managed to pass my driving test on my second try like 6 years ago but I have never had to use a car for transportation anywhere I've lived so chances are I'd need to retake some clases if I'm to start driving for real some day XD;

In Buenos Aires: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Underground plus the Bus Line 2, which ran right between my house door and my office. I also have an Oyster card for every time I visit London. Essentially, public transport takes me wherever I need to go and it's a hundred times cheaper than mantaining a car plus gas and taxes. |
The only times I've ever been on public transportation is the Metro in Virginia, and when I was working at the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium one year, we took a bus from the parking garage to the stadium. That's about it.
I prefer paying the money to have my own car anyway -w- Much more reliable, as proven in flight's post above. |
We really don't have any public transpiration where I live.
|
We do have it here, but I find it pretty expensive. Luckily I can use it for free as a student on weekdays and have 40% discount in weekends. :)
|
There's no metro here, but I used it once or twice when I used to live in America. Plus i live next to my school so I would never use it xD
|
We don't have any fancy metro transportation in my hometown. There's been some debate whether or not California should have a monorail.
|
Yeah, all we have here are busses :(
And they're always late. Or so says my coworker who rides the bus to work and is always late. |
I keep thinking I should figure out where the buses here run, and then maybe use them sometime.
I have no idea how late or early they run though, I just know I see them all the time on the main street. Quote:
Although if it's true, I can see where it would be a definite annoyance. |
we have buses here, but i think it's too dangerous to use them. i'll just use my car, thanks.

And, to be honest, taxi fares tend to be ridiculous compared to the local income wherever you go u_u |
I actually like the public transportation here in Houston. It's pretty decent, and it's sooo cheap. You don't pay more than $3 for a day's trip, and that includes transfers.
I still prefer going out and about by car though, seeing that it's a really huge city. |
The cities around me have very poor public transportation but that is something that comes from living in a small populated area.
|
I rely on public transport all the time, and I do admit sometimes Sydney has its fair share of bad service but to me I feel like I mostly get good service out of it.
|
Idk how I feel about public transportation in all honesty. I would probably not even use it if it were good here. Driving is so much better for me haha

who won the red vs blue challenge anyway?

the weather here has been cold and rainy which it has been the past couple days. i thought it was summer D:
|
The weather here has been well...hot. As usual for this time of year in Alabama :[
|
It started raining last night around 7pm and it's now midnight and I don't think it's stopped. It also cooled waaaaaaay down today (high of 63F compared to 80-90+F all last week and this weekend) which was very odd to walk outside to this morning.
|
Over here it's just the start of winter and I absolutely can't stand the cold... I have trouble getting to sleep because of that extreme chill.
|
dammit someone mentioned the weather

It's now the Lugia/Storm theme/weather theme DCC
|
speaking of storms, we just had a minor one yesterday.
|
omg so many Lugias itt
It's been wet here recently but it's actually a really nice and sunny (though chilly) day today! Only issue is I'm stuck inside writing procrastinating on an essay zzz story of my life |
i feel like taking a screen shot of all the lugias posted above.

Horrible idea. Gross. |

i think we need more pink in here. |
if you stick to the basic stuff like the cali roll it's not too bad. what'd you order?

I look away for a bit, and suddenly lugias everywhere.
On the topic of sushi, I believe I've had it all of once...and I remember that because one, I was visiting a friend when I tried it, and two, I very distinctly remember finding out a reason to dislike wasabi that same day. "Oh, this stuff is good for clearing out your sinuses," she said. SUDDENLY IT GOES UP MY NOSE okay no thanks I don't like this stuff much. But the sushi was okay, as far as I remember. |
I love sushi! I eat it every week. If you're gonna have a sushi I suggest eating it in an authentic restaurant. Most buffets don't serve it fresh or spray ammonia to make the fish look fresh.
|
I've never actually had sushi D: I've been told to try it by everyone but so afraid I won't like it :[

shrimp tho??? |

@Chase & flight: there are heaps of different types of sushi - a lot of sushi rolls have cooked meat if you don't want to have the seafood ones. |
sushi is truly from the 8th ring of hell
|
I had the Cali roll. It was gross.
(this may be a bit gross for some of you so...) Spoiler:
Yeah. So no sushi for me. Sorry not sorry. |
i like sushi, though if i were to try it again soon i'd definitely get some sauce to dip it in. i've only ever had it dry.
|
That's the DCC for you. :')
Also what is this about never having shrimp whaaaat. I would eat more of it myself if it wasn't more expensive compared to other kinds of meats. >< |
I once attempted to eat sushi, but because it's served cold it's not very tasty to me.
|
sushi is love, sushi is life
|
i've never had sushi before in my life. i'm sorry everyone.

Quote:
YOU AND I AGREE ON SOMETHING????? |
Seafood generally isn't my thing, I'll eat flounder and fish sticks and that's about it. I haven't had shrimp in a while though, so maybe I could do that -shrugs-
