    I've gone a bit silly in this Steam sale.

    Resident Evil 5
    Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum
    Mark Of The Ninja
    Just Cause 2
    Entire F.E.A.R pack (1, 2 and 3 with all DLC's)
    Dear Esther

    Ouch, mah wallet (although to be fair, it was only about £20 for the lot). I even went to buy a few others, only for Steam to tell me I already own them... Steam sales will be the death of me.

    Steam is probably the best place out there for sales. They go totally silly. I can only assume they do it as a 'loss leader' to get people spending!

    I'm having a bit a retro video game fun right now. I realised I haven't finished Twilight Princess, so now I dusted off my old gamecube. Once every two years or so I get hit by cosmic ray or something and all I want to do is play Zelda games. I know the SNES' Zelda too much to have fun with it really, same with Ocarina and Majora, so Twilight seemed liked a good idea. I wonder why I never finished it :hmm:.

    Integrated graphics, Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 4GB ram, 32 bit Vista ... oh, yeah it's a laptop.

    It won't play NWN2. The Witcher doesn't seem to like it much either. The hard drive was going bad but I got a new one a few months ago-- perhaps I should try it with a new hard drive but I think the integrated graphic may be the problem.

    Ouch, those specs, hm...
    What does this site say about it?

    http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

    I'd be surprised if that machine is powerful enough to run it. Like said, the integrated graphics are probably the main issue :(.

    I came across this thread yesterday that talks about the intergrated graphics issue. Second post down might help.

    Well, the interview is over I'll receive an answer on Monday at the latest. It went pretty good, I think. I'm not a very manual person so, I dunno, that might plays against me. We'll see, the waiting is killing me, If only I could know either way right now.

    @Gaear, well technically I'm on summer break at Uni, so yes I guess I'm on vacation.

    I both love and hate teaching. Weird, huh?

    Also, women are wonderful but sometimes they make me want to bathe in battery acid.

    I'm in teacher training this week, and the students return on Monday. So, uh, no, no vacation here. Quite the opposite, really.

    You start school in July? :confused:

    I would have hated that as a kid more than I can possibly say. ;)

    Sometimes it's really hard to find a suitable and actually nice picture for a PnP D&D character...
