of the Monkey. Grinding leather and weapon skills will now occupy the rest of my time here (unless people are crazy enough to accept me into groups). I actually managed MTing with about 3s of lag, by which I mean a level 60 tank and a BWL’d Priest in a level 52 instance can get through some crazy lag spikes regardless of the rest of the group. I also picked up

off of Hakar’s avatar. I just dled TankPoints so I can start comparing gear for tanking and go for those marginal increases. It’s funny to see some of the comments which go into chat when I switch to my tanking gear with mace and board. A jump of 1300 HP can startle people ;)

In other news, I just approved my first spam post. At least, I think it’s spam… Ah well, I’ll support the 49ers anyways possible even if I am looking at another long season of bottom dwelling.

I also figured out what the (current) problem with my laptop is. It’s overheating again. I know, I know, big surprise when outside it’s 115+ and the air conditioning brings the temperature inside doewn to a frosty 80ish. Then, take a beast of a laptop, sprinkle some fan problems on top, and you have nice recipie for pieces of the motherboard to fry themselves and/or separate at high temperatures. I am seriously considering going back to a desktop when I get back to the States. Pros: Much easier to upgrade and care for. Cheaper. Bigger screen drool Cons: No portability (“Uru, come watch TV with me!!” is a lot easier to do with a laptop.) It’s another piece of hardware in a room already full of electronic toys.

    Go desktop! Keep the laptop, but only use it in case of said demand. Using the laptop less ought to help some no? If’ you’re running it all the time playing, a break/only using it half the time should cut down on some heating no?

    Meh, we’ll see. :) I can’t even seem to write posts correctly either right now (edits name).

    when you do get back, go for a desktop, but use both interchangeably, also the doodle pad that you got would work better with the bigger screen idea! ;) plus in the long run the desktop is cheaper and ezir for upkeep and upgradage
