You seem to know more than me. I've noticed my PC is getting slow as fuck of late, regardless of my upkeeping it seems every new update to software just makes them more processor intensive.
Not an issue, but there seems a trend now that devs simply do not let you use older versions of shit, and demand you upgrade. Bastards

I think, where he's at right now, it's "I've made my money. I still play better than just about everyone else my age. I'm good."
Also, everybody wang chung tonight.

I've watched it happen over time. And yeah, software is being written with less emphasis on efficient use of resources - then again when I was in college (~ 1995 - 2000 and some more recently) my professors repeated the following phrase: "Memory is cheap, don't be afraid to use it." I'm guessing that lack of optimization culture has only grown. (Oblig - Get off my lawn.)

Wang chung sounds vaguely obscene, I misread initially as 'wang chug' which is even more filthy.
I don't really see him being at that stage, as a non-devotee I'd always felt mechanics were his relative weakpoint, and his game understanding and starsense etc were where he excelled. The problem with being a player so reliant on shaping the strategic handbook, is that when others with better mechanics catch up in that regard, you have to continually revolutionise to keep up; if you're that kind of player.

80s song playing to a Borderlands 2 commercial. Not a bad song, for the 80s, actually.

Honestly, far worse than foreigners being out is that I'm sick of seeing what amount to the same exact games say, 75% of the time. Even when their play is incredible and precise and meticulous and well controlled, I just don't care seeing those perfect surrounds or forcefields of stuttersteps for the 1000th time.

Now that I think about it in retrospect I should have been more scared for scarlett in this group. MacSed has definitely been playing well lately in other tournaments and Oz beat her last season. Oh well. Hopefully she can win a WCS AM season in 2014. I think she has the talent.

Thank you, thank you.
It makes the fact that I now have searches for Backstreet Boys music videos and lyrics enshrined in both my Google and Youtube history completely worth it  .

AHAHHAHAHA FUCK YES.
Best results I could have ever hoped for, MacSed and Oz through with Scarlett getting ELIMINATED!

Scarlett noooo... Would've been fantastic to see her play in Canada.
But at least this gives Naniwa a slightly better chance :/

Basically your crimes are as follows
1. you post wang chung song
2. you imply 80s music sucks
3. you choose the worst song ever made in the 80s and say its not bad for the 80s.
so by your backwards logic, U2 the Joshua Tree and Michael Jackson's Thriller suck ballz... but at least the 80s produced Wang Chung.

I lived the 80s. Don't tell me what it was like. There was no logic there, it was empirical. And for the 80s, yes, that wasn't bad. Would you rather I come up with something worse? "Not bad" does not mean "oh my god this sucks".
