Re: RIP Arborealus
I just saw it as well and thought to come here. He was one of the good guys. Both in-game and out-. I had the joy of meeting him several times, at the Vegas Fan Faire, at a CD-meetup in ATL and also visited him at his home in Monroe, LA. He was always great company - kind, witty, generous to a fault...

Re: Euro 2012
For some strange reason, the Italian team has been growing on me. For the first time ever, I'm actually liking them. Balotelli is hilarious and awesome, Pirlo is awesome and awesome and awesome and looks like Taylor Negron and for once they haven't once played for a draw!

Storagewise I'm okay (except maybe for a system drive, but I could always upgrade to a SSD at some later point). I'm guessing I'd need at least an i5 of some kind? I could probably keep the case, but that's all - the psu is ancient, as is mobo, vid card and processor.
