I guess it's obvious that one is attracted (and I don't mean that just sexually now) to a particular type more than to others.<br /><br />What I most recently realized was that even though I am attracted (yes, this time I mean sexually) to both men and women, most of my favourite chars are men.

After a whole month of waiting I finally received my two Darksiders artbooks and the novel. You can sneak a peek  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ As some of you probably remember I am having troubles with my current computer and have been keeping an eye out for new laptops. Now I have seen one a while ago that seemed pretty okay but it had a bit less power than I would like, so I kept looking and stumbled across one that had exactly the power I want but the screen is only 15,6". I think for gaming that should be alright but what I am wondering is if it won't be uncomfortable for drawing...<br />Do any of you HAVE a screen that size (or smaller) and can tell me what it's like to draw like that? Does it bother you or is it not that bad? Thing is that I like to have some references open next  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Or any other entity you might believe in.<br />Tell me, I'd love to know about all the wonderful things you found under your Christmas tree! :eager:<br /><br />As for myself I got Gantz to continue my Matsuken collection, FINALLY Shenmue II which I've missed playing WAY too much, Tales of the Abyss for 3DS and a bunch of other things. And the 10 bucks I've still got left from the money I got from my mom will be invested in Darksiders - Wrath of War. :la: Imma annoy you with Darksiders for quite a while still, believe you me and I am so not sorry at all. :lol:<br /><br />Oh and in a good 2,5h I'll go watch The Hobbit 'cause the cinema here finally decided to show it  ]]></media:text>
