Only two but I'm thinking about three.
But if I get three that means I have to remove some collectibles from my desk (namely my giant as fuck Rowdy Roddy Piper statue) and I'm not sure I'm ready for that.


Didn't that exact same thing happen with Retro City Rampage?
I believe it was an 8-bit remake for GTA 3 at first and then Rockstar got all butthurt.

Worked out for the best though because Retro City Rampage is fun as fuck.
Double the size of the desk is the only option here..... I now have room for 3 monitors a laptop some plants and 4 cats on my new desk....could probably add a cooktop too

It is not ALL bad there.....

NY is the greatest city on Earth. You can really feel the brotherly love the second you step out of Penn station. From the harrassment from people aggressively trying to sell you something in times square, to the dishonest cab drivers who take you a long route for more money, aggressive shouting and threats from people because you looked at them, homeless people fighting over socks in union square and of course who could forget the people who blast their music on their phone in a crowded subway car and then start a fist fight when someone tells them to turn it down.

I wish I was joking :whistle2: Central park is pretty cool though so theres that :happy:

Look like a tourist and get treated like a punk. But I hope you at least enjoyed watching The Lion King on/off Broadway and eating at Olive Garden.

I've always run SMC fan control, but only recently has it been such a necessity for me. I started playing GTA 3 after turk at night, and my mac was burning up and glitching after an hour or two of gameplay. It's been almost a month now before my temps have risen above 55 degrees C.
nice...mine stays in the high 70's to mid 80's all the time even if I'm just using 1 and running PC and a browser...

my friend swears by Mac and the Mini but it's been nothing but an overpriced paper weight for me....it crashed all the time when I first got it...called Crapple Care and their solution was spend another $150 to buy more RAM...great, you sell me a $600 machine that works like a $50 used Acer and now you want another $150...

Wow, change a few minor things and some names, add in a strong smell of piss and defication, and you have just described San Francisco, too!

Sounds like Amsterdam except they usually had an act for the money like music or magic.

Oh man, that's nice. They're really friendly there - and the owner could tell you some tales about the past owner - who was actually adopted by Josephine herself. I recommend the French Onion Soup.

I'm so excited! I might go with the prix fixe menu just so I get to taste a wider selection of things :hungry:

Yeah, I wouldn't have been too happy in that scenario either! And 70's to 80's isn't horrible, so long as things are running somewhat smoothly. Never hurts to open it up and clean it out well though, if you haven't already.

In regard to crapple in general, I have had subpar experiences with Apple on the whole, but I'm not alone in loving my macbook. Something about the specific year/model macbook I have, is almost iconic. In recent years, the 2012 MBP has continued to outsell the newer macbook and macbook pro models, as it's just a reliable tank for the most part. Mine has been used for live gigs for years, and once it saw a fall from the top of a speaker (about 11 feet above the floor. It landed open, on it's side, against the speaker tripod stand. It dented the side of the lower half of the body, yet the recording in progress never stopped. The thing has been an unstoppable tank for me!

I miss that piss smell.
I've tried keeping Keira @Keira inside the house for several days to try and recreate it but it's just not the same.
