  1. *cries* It feels sooo good to have my lappy back! *hugs lappy* I missed you baby, even if you're ancient!

  2. *sigh* I just LOVE arguing with idiots at the Sims official forums.This person keeps insisting that AMD's Dual Graphics (an A10-7800K + R9 270X) is the way to go over a discrete card

  3. 35 degrees right now BRRR! Going to bed and getting cozy!

      I fight with my wife about open windows in my room. I want them open regardless the temperature (present is 2 Cel. and shw want to close them. Well we are two different creatures: I+m a warm blooded and she is snake ;-)

  4. 6.1 quake struck Napa, CA last night at 3:20. Live in San Jose, and felt a bit of rolling. Lived in the Bay Area all my life and still can't get used to those damn things. Needless to say I am very tired right now.

      I grew up in San Jose. I got to the point that I could sleep through anything under a 5.0.

      Lucky! I was just falling asleep when I felt it - dad said he did too, but my mom didn't. Now how can that be when we all live in the same house? LOL!

      LOL! I have no clue. We had one here in MO. Hubby was at work 20 miles away. I am used to them and I swear, it was probably less than a 3. I thought wind hit the house. Hubby texted "DID YOU FEEL THAT?!" I was like, "Feel what?" I guess it is huge to have earthquakes here.

  5. BAH!! Went to purchase the Sapphire 7850 off newegg and the amn price had jumped to $190 seemingly overnight a couple days ago. Dissapointing, but today I picked up a 7790 from my local computer store instead. Came with Bioshock Infinite, woo! Got a WD Blue 1TB HDD for $65 off Tiger Direct too!

  6. Bought a new shiny for my rig! Should be here Monday, woot!

  7. Dear gawd, not ANOTHER patch. I'l probably wait to DL this one.

      If you're worried about having to update mods, most modders here had nothing get broken, meaning nothing to update. It was a nice and gentle patch this time.

  8. Disneyland, Round 2. Coming June 3rd to the 5th. Check your local listings.

  9. Don't worry peeps, still around! Just in the middle of a little thing I like to call "May is Metroid Month" in which I play (and finish) EVERY Metroid title in the series! :D

      Sounds fun! Except for Other M xD

  10. Error Trap is making me crazy. 9 to 12 script errors at a time, all focusing on the same inactives. Stop the madness!!

  11. Final piece of my new DIY rig came today, an ASUS 21.5" LED monitor. Tested Sims 3 on it via my laptop. It was so pretty I actually teared up a little bit!

      I love the moment when you upgrade a part of your computer and test sims. I'm lookin forward to my next upgrade (sims 4/2015).

      It really is the best. Congrats!

  13. Finally got my own little office set up in my room today. New desk, an old (but comfy) computer chair. Feels good!

      :O free games with a graphics card? Where do you shop? Santa's house?

  20. Got University Life today, yippee! Also saw a building in town that totally reminded me of Bridheport's The Grind. I wonder if it had a dance floor? lol

  21. Graphics Card Shopping! Baby needs more POWER!

  22. Had a 3.4 magnitude quake last night in the middle of watching Swamp People. Rattled my nerves. Hate those damn things. I know it California, but still doesn't make it easier to deal with.

      About 7 KM ESE in the East Foothills of San Jose where I live.

      @kimi yep, everyone is ok. Heh, though it was a baby one, those things still scare the crap outta me. Luckily I was only 3 in 1989 when we had the Loma Pretta one, so I down remember much of it :P

  23. Had to return my HD 7770 yesterday because it was missing some pieces and they wouldn't give me my free games. Getting an HD 7850 off newegg instead.
