I really should do more regular entries. 
Well for the record (for those who read this other than Skillers, although I doubt there are) I am still not dead!
I recently was able to play the excellent Orange Box. Well worth the money in my most arrogant opinion.
Alas, exams approach, and I have A Level exams for politics and physics in January. I am also a bit stuck for a coursework idea for physics (although I may be on to something so watch this space 
).
I also got to play the demo of Crysis, as well as being able to participate in the MP beta. Both were excellent, and I am getting the full game for Christmas.
Something that has been bothering me in Source based multiplayer games is that after a while, my microphone 'glitches'. There's nothing wrong with the mic itself (I have proven this) but it just seems to break in the game. If I quit and restart the game it is fine. Most odd, and I can find no other information on this problem. 
Have any other problems beset me? Oh yes. They have. 
A main problem is that I wish to use my PS/2 mouse with my laptop. Unfortunately, the damned thing doesn't like working. If I go to devices and remove the mouse, then I can get both the touchpad and the mouse to work. However, it prompts me to restart, and when I do the mouse is not longer working again. 
The problem has me stumped that's for sure, but I will post if I have success.
Indeed, it is not all a sour story. I had success with dual monitors on my laptop. 
It worked rather well, although there are a few niggles (such as it lying about the second monitor's colour quality 
).
Anyways, just another little random post by me. Hopefully more regular in the future. 
OMG! A post!
Nothing really to say, I'm feeling lazy. I just must have the spam!
