We mainly had to do cosmetic stuff to our new house. We put down new flooring in 2 of the 3 bathrooms and I had to paint almost EVERY wall in the house. The crazy people that lived here had some interesting ideas about home decor. She had 2 boys so there were racing strips on walls and then I can tell she was starved for feminine things because it seems she painted every main room in the house she could pink or put froofy stencils on things. Blech. Other than that, our house is beautifully constructed. Actually, the man who built the plat built this house for himself so it is all 2x6 construction...nice and solid. We do need to update the electric though. DShai's crazy network of 5-6 computers just isn't gonna run well here until we do.megamania said:

You say that now but later when your lil' kobold grows up to be halfling......

I once played 1/2 life with a networked household. The friends I was talking about had their computer freaks come over with their computer laptops. We have about eight people playing at once. This was only the second time I had ever played the game and I faced someone that placed third for the entire state of NY.

Thinking about it, I was camped out at a sniper's location was quite proud of myself to find.
I could hear laughing upstairs and didn't think anything of it. Suddenly someone called down- the guy in black and red- turn around.
I turned around and the NY state guy has crawled behind me and held his cannon at my head. The moment I turned FOOM!
Laughter by all.... until I reliezed that was me that was blown up. I was given details by people about the body parts that threw out of the shadowed balcony.
EVERYONE was aware of it and in on it....the bastards

I don't care for LAN games that much...I'm a Mac guy, and my buddies don't know how to set up mixed PC LANs well enough for me to bother bringing mine.
So I wind up playing on someone else's rig...usually the computer that is just barely capable of running the games of the evening.
One of the last 2 times this happened, I wound up on one that was so old, it pixellated the screen so badly the owner got a huge headache.
The other time we were playing one of the FPSs, and my borrowed machine was so slow that some of the other players appeared as mere flickers on the screen before I died. Don't get me wrong- I got my kills- but the guys riding the tricked out machines would just "appearshootmeintoamillionpixelsdisappear" before my computer could even render a complete image of my killer. For the first 20 minutes, I thought I was stepping on some kind of trap.
