My chair is awesome. Expensive office chair, but it's been so nice...

I know I mentioned this a week ago, but

Awww yeah, Sister of Battle.

Nipple armor? o_0

[Reynard-Miri]

Breast-plate. It's... one of my complaints about the Sisters.

I suppose this might have something to do with the guy who originally commissioned/order the construction of the Adepta power armor was fucking insane.

I've been asked to bake a Harry Potter themed birthday cake for my wife's boss's child. I've never done something as elaborate before but I'm going for a golden snitch. Rather than carving cake, which upsets me, I bought .

Love how it's oven safe. I'd be very pissed off if it wasn't.

I used my Club Nintendo points to get A Link to the Past for the Wii. Then I realized I didn't have a Classic Controller to play it on, so I went ahead and ordered the Gamecube controller adapter. Surprisingly, it arrived the next day.

I also went into Game Stop today with a buddy and was astonished to find not one, not two, but SIX copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy. I get paid tomorrow so I'm going back in there to pick one of them up.

does your wii not have a gamecube port built in?

OH

Hopefully getting one of these in the next month or two. I can get it with all the specs I want for around $700, and my dad offered to pay a quarter and the tax.

This is my future laptop set up how I want it, but does anyone who knows more about computers think I'll need more RAM than 6GB for gaming?

I can run things like DayZ just fine with 4 on this laptop, but this laptop has a slew of other problems so I need a new computer anyway. I guess my question is in 2-3 years will I regret not getting 8GB of memory?

Also, as a shitty touch-typist, I'm super stoked about the backlit keyboard.

Any particular reason to choose Win8 over Win7?

[zamisk]

No, I should probably go with 7, now that you mention it. How would I go about getting it now that MS doesn't sell it?

@Zamisk... My store, here in Drumheller sells OEM copies of Win 7 Home, they are $129.99. You should be able to go to any computer store in Calgary and ask for it. Try Memory Express. ** Warning, if you re-do your windows, it usually factory resets your machine. I guess if it's a new computer, then it's not a big deal.

As for your RAM concern, you may want to upgrade to 8GB. Currently, nothing even requires that amount and all our in store techs say you won't even need more than 8GB for years, yet.
