Ok im going to start this post by saying DONT BUY ALIENWARE! i freeking swere that iv had the worst experiance with dell sence day one. It just gose to show you that buying somthing expensive dosent mean its quality these days. hell i could have bought an apple at this rate and i would have had better customer suport.
To start i bought my first alineware m17x and out of box it had problems. the FX lighting system wasent working, alot of the hot keys were not working, and it was crashing every 10 minuts. So i went back to the store location i bought it from and returned it right away.
Next i figured ok well if im going to spend money on this laptop i might as well go all the way. i bought my second alineware it had problems with the raid controller and harddrives. both harddrives were DOA and the mobo was DOA. so that computer was utterly useless. it couldent even boot into dell utilitys to figure out what was broken.
So they rush order me a new one with dual SSD drives at there expense. on arivle it was DOA.....at this point iv almost had it. The raid controler was dead and the lighting system was fail again. the dell tech guy came out next day to replace a mobo because they figured that was the cause of the problem. they also left a nice little chip on the screen were it looks like a screw driver had hit it. he also dident properly put the top control panel back in so its poped out.
WAY TO GO DELL. i really hope everyone that googles m17x gets this review because i posted it on alienwares webpage and they took it down.
In short. just go buy a sager or boxx if your looking for somthing powerfull. iv learnd my lesson to never buy from dell again.
PS my machine cost 5,400$

I belive last time i posted i gave a breef feeling about how CF went. Wile i wont go back to that i will say that i finaly have hope again for that con :P and with FC just around the corner things i hope will start of to a better yr.
(Part one Skip if you dont care)
So well start off and get the bad out of the way. Back in 2001 i was introduced to quite a few fun table top games. MechWarrior Clix, Pirates pocket game, Crimson Skys Clix, and last but not least Horror Clix. Now all these games were made by a great company WizKids games. Well i knew in 2007 they were bought out by Tops which i was really angry about because all they care about is crappy sports games that really never made it. And they bought WizKids to try and save them from going under. Well aparintly iv not followed very closely. they compleatly shut down the WizKids game Industry untill economic times become better AKA will never see them again. and that was back in 2008
It brought tears to my eyes to see something so great just get crushed by a company that i will forever hate. I guess you can say im a bit of a nerd, but the creativity this company had and its way about turning almost everything we know and grew up with into a game was just awesome.
your also probbibly thinking, ok why do you now have intrest after so long? well lately iv been having the itch to go find a hobbystore that still played MechWarrior because priore to the closing they were licends till 2010 to continue the fun table top game
just to give you a glimps of what they did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WizKid
(Part 2 Vacation)
OMG so here's the fun stuff now this week was full of crazy suprizes that were just so much awsomeness
To start i just got back from a fun vacation in Mammoth Lakes. i got to celibrate 4th of july and all that jazz. if you have never been to a small town during the 4th or any other major holiday you missed out on alot! to start the 4th they have a 5k run that helps rase money for charity, wasent to clear but i belive it was for troops in iraq. i think there was somthing about 200-350 runners. it was so crazy to watch from my condo :D after that there is a big in town parade were pritty much every local busness trys to advertise and or show off. its acoualy really fun to watch because of how creative some of the stuff was. next was a out door consert for about 2 hrs. thats fun if you just like free music and good food :D then to wrap up the day was a big firework show. So i have to say that was alotta fun. and there was a million things i left out XD.
Second. iv been without internet pritty much for the last 7 days. so to see the internet again was really nice. i can live without it but i would like to know whats going on once in awile. So internet findings as starts
(Part 3 Games)
OK so now things get more fun. i got a text message from my friend 2 days ago saying a new game was coming out.
"MechWarrior" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl4eI3ht
(Part 4 Last but not least)
So yeah to sum it up, so far this yr has just been pritty ok. theres things that i dont like about it *political rant that i wont go into and stupid CA* and some fun times also *going on vacation and finding out fun stuff* scary thing is the yr is only half over. pritty soon well all be registering for FC and be starting a whole new yr :D. also my new yr starts the day FC starts :3 End of this month i will be going to San Jose to the Garlic Festival chilling out with my good friends Senica and Rubbertex \o/. so that should be fun times weeee!
So thats pritty much it for now. i might be posting again when the CNC 4 game gets press anouncend and maybe even before that!
Hope all is well with my good friends and hope to hear from people soon :D

it started with me bricking my phone, and after many hrs was able to fix thanks to technocollies help.
but during that aparintly my parents had a blowout in there suburban. and iv been telling them for about a month or 2 to get the tires replaced. they said "oh no we can run them balled and they will be fine" i belive they had about 30% life left in them. and to think they wanted me to drive it 2000 miles this next week when i go to visit.
Also iv been having major GPU problems in my laptop. not totaly suprized there. im starting to get red static in the black areas and the white area have these weird blue vertical lines O.o....so this has been happining back and fourth for some time now. keep in mind iv had this laptop for under 3 months and its already time to replace it i guess.
so i guess technolgy hates me. everytime i get something it just seems to break. the only thing that hasent broke yet is my Macbook air. wonder if it has to do with because i never bought it xD. maybe i should just give people money and have them buy stuff for me.
other then that summer is defintly on its way. i cant stand any type of heat over 78F. damn santa barbra and never getting above that
thats it for now i guess

New florecent lightbulbs consume less energy, but contain murcry and neon gas that is toxic. also i have vison probelms when around these lights.
Clean Air Vheicals. expensive for what they are and not everyone can own one. so stop trying to push clean air vheicals on us.
getting rid of plastic bags for these 1$ crapppy nylon bags. last time i checked plastic was much more recyclable then nylon.
dimming lights in walmart so i cant see were im going, pfts yes belive it or not the supercenter near me is running 25% of there normal lighting making it more difficult to read lables and such.
one of the things i did on energy day in cali last month for that hr was run all my cars, turn on all lights in the house and pritty much made a bounch of noise. it was intresting to see a few nabors do the same thing.
theres a big list of stuff i can ramble off on with items that i dont care about. why should we spend more money in a time when we need to be saving as much money as posible. most green things are more expensive then the terditional counterpart.
my little rant :(
Your result for Which Were Animal Would You Be? Test...
You are a Were-Bear!
70% bear, 30% wolf, 30% horse, 40% tiger, 40% leopard, 40% fox and 30% rat!

Bears are predators. Unlike other animals as a were bear you will see colors, have an excellent memory, and be very social. You will keep your intelligence, but you will be very curious wanting to explore your new body and strength. When you want something nothing will keep you from getting it. Contrary to popular belief bears are not mean and malicious beasts. They are very gentle, affectionate, and devoted to their young. They communicate using body language.

Malware posing as Change.gov
pandalabs has identified a botnet running a malware campaign impersonating president-elect obama’s website. the front page of the site features a sensational story titled “barack obama has refused to be a president”. clicking the link will download the malware and make the target’s machine part of the botnet. they’re using fast-flux to assign the malicious domains to the massive number of compromised nodes that are hosting the actual site. the team has contacted the domain name registrar in china to get the domains removed. using a sensational headline is not new to malware; it’s how the storm worm got its name.
