I usually say Hello, but sometimes (usually when interrupted from a nap or during an intense gaming session) I make a grunting noise instead. Uncivilized, but it lets the other party know I'm not happy with the interruption.

One week has passed and my cough still show no sign of stopping.

Anyway, when you pick up a call on your cellphone, do you say "Hello," or "<Your name> here,"?

Oh, I know how you feel. I've been sneezing and coughing nonstop this week, and I still am.

I always say "Hello," myself.

"<Name> residence," is more reserved for home phones.

I usually just say Hi or Hello, though if I know the caller, I might say "Hi, <name>"

So I somehow ended up spending 5 hours on DCUO last night. In the 5 hours, in sequence:
- I defeated Bane in the Cape Carmine lighthouse, SOLO.
- I explored the JLA Watchtower
- I defeated Queen Bee, SOLO
- I subdued Trigon, SOLO, TWICE (second time just because I missed the one last holonote in Raven's mind)

Started playing at 12:30 AM, finally went to bed at 5:30 AM.

Feeling grumpy from lack of sleep now.

In case you're wondering, my character is a large gun-wielding techno-brute who idolizes Batman, has a RAM (the mountain goat) for his insignia, is colored garishly (pink, cyan and lime) and goes by my usual nickname. Currently at level 13.

"There's cake in Oregon"
"That's a lie"

Wait, why's there Portal jokes in Oregon Trail? hock:

Marie Antoinette never probably said "Let them eat cake", so the cake is a lie.

Good news:
I just discovered that Nvidia has enabled "poor man's 3D" (i.e. instant 3D through normal screens via anaglyph glasses) through their video cards.

Bad news:
my eyes are now soda (blurry and seeing double) from a one-hour DCUO run in 3D. Also, 3D mode using these glasses are in greyscale

Im afraid as to what 3D will do to my own eyes once I get my hands on a Nintendo 3DS. I will test it, but if I get the slightest bit sick in any way, 3D is out.

I only seen 3D through the anaglyph glasses a few times in my life, and most under 30 seconds. Modern 3D? I never seen it at all.

Just finished The Ballad of Gay Tony's storyline - no cheats, no nonsense. Took me a dozen or so failed attempts, but it was fun. Only problem is that the game runs a tad choppier than the older GTA IV builds, mostly due to how R* Toronto added an inefficient shadow mapping algorithm and changed the shader code.

Why can't they just release Volume 13 already?!?
