I messaged you.

And Ive been wanting to tour their offices so bad.. You see the news release today that they are going to start selling software through steam? Should be cool.

Nah, dont play LoL, just SC2, but my claim is that I goto the Cybercafe of Team Green Forest who was top 10 on the NA ladder, and watch their practices. Cool dudes, interesting game, just a lot of more fun playing SC2.

And Ive been watning to try DOTA 2... oh well

I had a Cuban broad who would be down to pound, play L4D2, make me pies/cakes/cookies, and then go to the bar to drink and dance. Oh and then she got the Hyrule symbol tatted huge on her hips... I miss her.

Didn't see this, yeah the Death Knight is a class only available if you have a level 55, also yeah DPS tends to have the least amount of stress when it comes to the group really needing you. Alliance is fun, the only thing is that a lot of the younger WoW played choose alliance typically so sometimes you wind up in a BG or PVP with people who are high levels but aren't really good. Horde is usually the more advanced group but then again there are noobs all over, so don't just go by that. Alliance is still lots of fun!

the thing is, i hate guild wars and wow and stuff because of the angle you play at. i like the side view and using only the keyboard, instead of a mouse to attack.

I'm in the top 1% for all Angry Bird releases.

At one point, I was ranked 1st in the Angry Birds Valentines. Lame claim.

Also, prestiged 10 times for that Golden Cross on COD4.

Not really geek status.

I've had PC's all my life and haven't had any virus issues. If you use the proper software and not be an idiot, you're fine.

I'd also like to see your wonderful Macs play a 1/4 of my gaming library.

well something like ubuntu requires no time or patience even on most laptops. But you don't get full geek points for doing that.

Next wednesday I'm going to attempt to get a linux distro running on my retina MBP. I have heard of major issues with thunderbolt ports and the new screen, but I still want to try. I hate trying to get apps working on X11 when I can just one click install them on linux.

That being said, I'm not deleting OSX from this laptop because it's actually so radical if you have an apple TV and an iphone. apple is slowly getting me back, but I will always have a linux distro on my computer. I can't even imagine the amount of money I would have to spend to get a software set up like I had on my last linux machine.

Yeah... okay.

I think anyone who put the time and effort into building a PC has the know how of how to keep it virus free. It's nearly impossible to get anything malicious as long as you have half a brain, and don't click every ad you see. Go to trusted sites, and download from trusted sources, and you shouldn't have a problem.

Should a problem arise a combination of free antivirus/ virus removal will make a world of a difference.

i suppose i'm somewhat geeky. although, i do not own ANY consoles, just my computer. i play on a mac so that already puts me in the red as far as geek points go.



however, my friends and i run shattered hand. i'm making my fourth twink so i'm a little proud of the amount of game time i put into it

and at one time i was a highly ranked member of FOE, the runescape pure clan.

I play Team Fortress 2. Probably one of the most brilliant shooters I have ever played. I have a lot of hats, since the game is also a combat scenario hat simulator.
