Euro Sirus Simulator 2 is on sale.

At 75% off, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than actually becoming a trucker

Any recommendations for Might and Magic: Heroes VI? Looks to be an odd combination of RPG and TBS, and the only other examples of that mix I can think of are Battle for Wesnoth and the Fire Emblem series.

(missed this in the Pacific Rim shenanigans)

How good are these computers? Because I "live" near a Best Buy and their selection kinda sucks <_<;

I would also be willing to help you nail down the specs you want and then point you in the right direction, even without Best Buy. Also, the Samsung Ativ 8 is probably the best lappy we keep in store, but we can order $6k monstrosities.

Mostly I just want something that can at least take a stab at running modern games with decent graphic settings, unlike my current model which stutters while running Half-Life 2 on bare minimum settings. For example, I saw a fellow trucker playing Skyrim on his laptop, and it looked and ran pretty well. He said it was somewhere around $500, but it was a gift so he didn't know the exact price.

On the other hand, I also want something that can run simpler, single-threaded games (like the game this community is most famous for). So not some 16-core, 1-Ghz-each monstrosity, but something with fewer, more powerful processors. I have no idea if these two goals are compatible

Considering that the apparent purpose of the kaijuu is

Working, so I will probably miss that :/

It's not a big truck, you see. You can't just dump something on it.

You're not just supposed to dump stuff on a big truck either. There's weight limits and balance and centers of gravity to worry about.

Aaargh, my day just now started and its already 1300! That's 1 in the afternoon if you don't understand military time!

What's "military time"? It's like when you have a 24-hour day?

I'm probably using the wrong term, but yes. Instead of using am and pm with 12 hours each, you just have 24 hours and that's that.

I'm kinda with Furtuka. It was an admirable effort by TFS, but I'm not sure how well it worked. Haven't seen any other abridgements of AoT so I can't comment on how good any of the rest are.

Anyway, I decided to finally check out Gurren Lagann after that hypestorm from a few years back (yes, I am Slowpoke slow).

Be prepared for the best thing ever. Of all time.

I think I'm about halfway through the series now.

It's good. I'm not sure I'd call it the best thing ever, but the action scenes are nicely awesome, the characters are interesting, and the fanservice is, of course, appreciated. I hear this "Kill la kill" thing is made by the same studio and is supposedly even crazier, so I guess I'll watch it in a few years.
