I just bought a brand new Acer laptop for $320! 
 
It sports a fantastic 16:9 display, the epic ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics card, 160 GB HDD, 3 GB Memory, all running under the AMD Athlon 64 processor!
 
This is the first computer I won capable of Anti-aliasing, which is pretty much witchcraft, and can support the latest games!

Which game was it?
 

Today, the Cole Bros's Biggest Circus Under The Big Top came to my local town to perform!
 
I haven't been to a circus in over half a decade, so I wanted to remember what a circus was like.
 
First thing I noticed when I got to the parking lot, where Mexicans. Don't fret, I'm hispanic, so it's ok. When I got inside, all of the circus people were hispanic in some way, with the exception of the ringmaster and a lady with dogs. I went to one of the guys selling a small bag of popcorn, and asked how much it costs, and he said 5 dollars. For a bag of popcorn half the size of a $1 bag you get at a flea market.
 
I bought it.
 
As I left, the vendor started cussing out in Spanish: "[bleep] [bleep] asking how much a popcorn costs, it's [bleep} 5 dollars. {BLEEP}" I looked back at him with an angry face. I know Spanish, you know. 
 
I was not having fun in the circus. The pony rides where 15 bucks to ride the pony. I am not paying 15 bucks to ride that pony. 
 
But once the show started, all my angers faded away, as the rude circus people made an amazing show! 
 

Yep.

 What a terrible movie.
 
I know it takes place before the first X-Men, but it didn't have to feel like it was made before the first X-Men.
 
I could not believe how incredibly bad the special effects were. I literally have made better special effects on my computer.
 
Not to mention the wire fights, and the terrible storytelling!

The ease of just playing Megaman 9 everyday without changing discs is great!

For me, it's halfway there. The site's technology is Gamespot done right, and works far better than any other forum I have tried on the internet. I can do so many things here that would be unthinkable in other sites, like posting videos or having reviews with all the same tools that the staff uses. The only thing missing is the unions. ;)
 
But the half that is not there yet is the community. It's not as vibrant as it was when the site launched, and kinda shallow, and even Giantbomb's own staff members seem less lively, doing less fun stuff and doing more generic blog-like videogame journalism like other sites, which they promised that they would avoid. 
 
But they still have gems like these:
 

I hate those viruses that always ruin your computer and your day. 
  
Today, I got attacked by PERFECT DEFENDER, a virus that acts as a normal Windows security update. By downloading the security update (e.g. virus), the program will make every web page you visit a threat, saying this page is dangerous and could infect your computer with a virus, and then crashes the web browser. 
 
Very cheeky. 
 
Luckily, I have adapted to these viruses. Everything I download I save on a physical disk, and I can return my computer to it's factory state at a moment's notice. I quickly saved the videos and the game I was working on, and pressed the big red reset button. Up yours, virus! 
 
Right now, I am on another computer, but my laptop should return as new as it was when I got it (as in outdated) shortly. Hurray for me! 
 
What do you do to combat viruses?
