Snow day in the South? What, did it snow half an inch? :P
/greatlakesregion
For me, the "south" (as in the old South) has a western terminus at Abilene, Texas where the High Plains (where I live, to the north) and the desert wasteland (El Paso, to the south) begins. The actual south, I don't like at all for many reasons
But yeah, it's like an inch of snow and everything shuts down. Nothing out of the ordinary for you and Anonus

Fair enough. I almost said "Texas" instead of "the South", but I realized the joke I was making related more to the southernmost parts of the US as a whole than to any one particular state.

What really sets the south and the High Plains apart here (for me at least), besides the altitude (Lubbock is 3500 feet up on a giant plateau) is that in the deep South you cannot see the horizon because there's always a hill or mountain in your face at all times. That just drives me up the wall. I like to see thunderstorms rolling in from the distance and the like.

The National Weather Service is projecting 2 to 4 inches of snow for the Lubbock area. Early forecasts had snowfall around 1 to 2 inches but the forecast was revised late Sunday afternoon.

I kinda want to go for a drive (since I haven't done so in quite a while and it's driving me insane) but I'm not sure where I want to go. :\
I have to just sort of admire the kind of mind that can go "yeah, my ambition in life is now to look like a Z-List Batman villain, and I am totally cool with that."
it's the only one I could ever really get into. I can't play games that don't have graphics for whatever reason. I don't care how good the graphics are (usually), but they have to be there.
There's pretty high places in the South, especially in the Smokies, but you're right about it being a lot hillier than the high plains. Quite a bit of the Deep South is on the Atlantic coastal plain, but you still have all those trees to deal with unless you're right on the water.
I'd link to that one review Oancitizen did of a movie that was pretty much all gay porn (and whose name I'm blanking on at the moment), but alas, I'm at work right now. :P
Also, I read Wikipedia's page on tile-based rendering, and there's not one mention of the TMS9918 or its follow-ons or imitators.

CA: don't feel bad, I've worked off of old frankensteined computers for years. The only thing that new computers can do that old computers can't is play the hottest new games. That's about it. Also frankensteining computer setups is fun

I've had this laptop since 2009.
I mean, it's powerful enough for what I do--web browsing, word processing, and occasionally playing Sim games from 2004--but it has a lot of little issues.
The most obvious one right now is the battery...it only charges to 53% now, which is fine when I'm sitting around my house but isn't going to cut it when I go back to school.
I wonder: would I be able to replace the battery and add more RAM for less than the cost of a new laptop?

this guy is awesome

Go to the nearest Wendy's and eat some chicken on my behalf.
Cuz that's what I want to do right now.
have you tried Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup?

I'm just going to abandon consoles entirely this generation and become a stuck-up PC gamer.
That'll solve all my problems.
holy fuck why am I laughing so hard

buuuuuuuuuut i called up my grandpa who is rollin' in dough and asked him if he could get me a new one and he said yes
it's kinda weird that yesterday i could not afford new deodorant but i am getting a new laptop today
also said new lappy is of unknown make and model, here's to hoping it's not crap, and also here's hoping that i can salvage my work off of my old one
but hey i'm getting a new one so like as long as i can get my data off my hard drive i don't really care
yippee
