Skittles, kids. Take Your change.

Today there is a new comic. I still don't have my computer back yet, and I must admit we've been taking a bit of a break over the Christmas vacation. Hopefully I get my computer back soon, I'm not thrilled with the whole situation. Once I get it back things should start rolling smoother, but for now I've been having to work on Shawn's laptop when I can. I do have my new monitor, which I absolutely love. The Dell 2007 WFP. I bought a refurbished one for a mere $300, and it's well worth it. It came with no dead pixels and I couldn't be happier with the clarity, brightness, and overall aesthetic appeal of the beatiful LCD.

Anyone wondering what new LCD to get, this one cannot be beat for the price. Other than that, I would recommend getting the Gateway 19" widescreen. It's slightly smaller than the 20.1" widescreen that I bought from Dell, but you can probably grab one for half as much is you can get it on sale. I researched all of the different LCD's for a month or so, went out to all of the stores and kiosks and looked at them, and in the $170-220 price range (for a 19" widescreen) the Gateway monitor looked the best. Go out and look for yourself, since everyone's got their preferences. I tell you what though, if you have the money, get a widescreen LCD from Dell, you won't be dissappointed.

Oh yeah! Game updates! I played through Gears of War on Insane with Patrick Wicker, and I loved it. It's rather short though. After no more than 10 hours the game can be beaten, but it is rather intense and is a great co-op experience.

I also got to play Superman Returns on the Xbox 360 yesterday, and if you liked the Spiderman 2 game at all, you will absolutely love this. Picking up a poor sap's van, flying 50 stories up into the air with it, and then throwing it half a mile is more fun than words can describe. At least rent this game.

Happy New Year everyone!
