Good stuff, I'd be interested to know if you find quad core worth it. And don't get me started on laptops.

Can we have another update to Poisonous Garden now?

You do? What's your username thing?

I got the RRD a year ago, I've heard that Microsoft corrected the problem. I guess a few weeks without next gen gaming was worth enjoying it seeing as Microsoft beat Sony to the market. It's also helpful that I got to keep my hard drive. I didn't miss a beat once I got my new 360.

Most of the gamers at my school have 360s and live so we have a little chuckle that the 2-3 PS3 users can't enjoy playing people they know.

Welcome back, Burny!

We actually have exactly the opposite at my school,

And the 360 owners all want PS3s now.

You know, this rivalry between consoles is a really clever piece of marketing, isn't it?

Yes lets not continue this argument though, neither console owner is ever going to convince the other that their console is better. Its not likely anyways, what is likely is for someone to get into trouble if people start the whole, "my console is better" discussion.

Well I just had a mixed day. It started with a distasterous Physical Chemistry exam which won't bore you with.

Then I was invited along for a trip to Ireland in june. Plan is to cycle down the west coast which looks senic and generally fun. And even better it gives me an excuse to put together another bike (I like bicycles, especially mending them). Should make an entertaining warm-up for the rest of the summer.

So yea, it makes up for a disasterous exam

Haha, hope you have good raingear then. The West coast has awesome scenery, but it's also very windy and rainy a lot of the time. Something to do with that little pond called the Atlantic being right next to it, I hear
And it being summer won't save you either... Irish summers are usually miserable XD

What's it like as far as midges go? I'm guessing weatherwise it's similar to the west coast of Scotland (rain rain hail rain smirr rain rain) but like the west coast warm and scenic. But I don't know if it's as bad for midges...

I'm trying not to think about damp tents *shudders*. At least on a bike I can have a 2 man to myself.

It's a while since I've been out there, but from what I can remember, it's not too bad for them. It helps that there isn't actually a huge amount of trees out there... mostly empty moorish type land and hills and such. But yeah, don't recall midges being an issue.

Ahhh Burnie's back...Well matey you have a lot of reading to catch up! Aaaanyway it's great to have you back!

Hello one and all. Sorry for the long periods of silence. Recently, Ive gotten into modding Morrowind, and Ive pretty good at it too.

I joined Great House Fliggerty some time ago, and my idea for Oblivion Style Morrowind Poison got the attention of ModGod Fliggerty himself, so Ive been working on that a bit. Ive also recently mastered Oblivion to Morrowind Mod Conversion, so Ive been a bit busy with that as well. Heck, I even converted a set of Weapons to go with Westly's "Creed of the Assassin" Armor.

But the main reason for the silences and pauses is all the classes I'm taking, in the State of California, there is a major Nursing shortage right now, meaning top dollar for everything from CNA's to RN's. CNA is the easiest, as its called "Certified Nursing Assistant" they basically are to Nurses what Nurses are to Doctors.

So hopefully Ill be one of those Male Nurses soon. And go ahead and call me "Gaylord M. Focker" all you want, I'll still make more money then you!

That's pretty cool Black. My mom was one for awhile before she graduated college in December. Now she's an RN. Hope that works out for you!

My mother's an RN, and I know people with Gaylord as their family name. I don't expect you'll get a pay raise if they make healthcare universal......

No, but it would be worth it, I do support Universal Healthcare. People are not resources to be drained of money. My taxes pay for roads, public transportation, education, defense, the court system, and all civil service jobs. They darn well better be taking care of me in my old age if they're stealing money from my check to support the other retirees! XD

BLACKIE!!!! These are wonderful news, you being a nurse! Or becoming one...jeez i'm so happy for you i really am, and i wish you all the luck in the world..

Hmmm I once had adream f being a doctor, but that failed. Still i'm insanely fond of medicine....






oh and for your information, the reason for my absence this week is that I'v been in hospital, just came home as a matter of fact. Nothing serious though...

Dang, sorry to hear that. Hope you're well.

Black Hand, allow me to add my wishes for a fruitful and rewarding career. I have great admiration for healthcare professionals.

Minque- hope all is well and that you have been able to rest and recover. Drink tea and relax- Dr. Treydog's Rx for recuperation.

I just returned from a vacation to Crete with my girlfriend. I will post pictures and a (almost) complete account of the voyage somewhen during the following days. There was nature, culture, and beaches, and the weather was mostly great.

I want to go back there

Huzzah! My 360 has been returned to me, fully functional! Plus, they gave me a free 1 month gold subscription card thing too
Next up, buy microsoft points and get broken steel!
