What is worse than missing the Bears game because they don’t show it here….that instead I only have the Green Bay vs. Lions Game to watch. Oh well, back to metroid I suspose.
I figured out how to keep my eyes from bothering me when I play some FPS, sit back from the screen with a smaller screen. I can still make everything out fine, but I’m not as close so I blink more I think.
Also, my laptop is messed up. The memory appears to not be the problem, unless both sticks I have went bad, which is possible. But I think my hard drive might be corrupted. The good news is that laptops have a standaradized hard drive, the bad news is that they are kinda expensive. I might go to a local shop and see if I can find a cheap 10 Gig one. Right now it is doing a check-disk scan, which takes forever. And it is recovering tons of messed up errors. I might just reformat both partitions and see if that helps.
On the free stuff front, Jeff might help me out by trying blockbuster under my free tv thing. That is cool, and it makes 4 people. The Ipod should ship this week because they are catching up on backorders…the company is shipping them right from the factory now since they inked a deal with apple. Also, all my video game friends, they are going to have a Nintendo DS offer soon. I’ll keep you posted because I know you guys will think that is worth it. The only deal is, if my friends in the appartment want to try it, make sure you put your home addresses, and you don’t use appartment computers to sign up since they track which IP you use, and you can’t have two people do an offer from the same IP address. When they get that site up I’ll post about it.
