Then again I woulnd't mind using Vista if I had the time and the machine to run it.  Considering a co-worker who told me about the whole Mohavie thing Microsoft did...very sneaky of them.

Yeah, I had to laugh when I read about that.  Sadly, most of the problem that Vista has is user acceptance.  It's amazing how much people whine about things that they've never used.

I will note one major downside to the stock OS: Before being able to strip away all the stuff I wasn't going to use, I had to do all of this: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:removeunionfs

That's kind of a nice use of UnionFS, but damn.

On one hand, it's kind of nice that you can easily roll back bad changes.  Pretty much the best recovery mode you could ask for in an OS.  On the other hand, it doesn't lend itself well to tinkerers.

Given the target audience of the Eee, I think ASUS made the right choice in this case.  But still...damn.

So I'm probably going to try out Rose online, anyone here ever play it? I've heard it was a good free MMO and I've got time to kill.

I've played it. I never got past about lv 30 or something, but back then, the majority of players were around lv 30 anyway. Last time I played (I first played it in open Beta) there was a hacker who had GM access and was fucking up the economy and doing stuff like giving people triple expreience for an hour every now and then, and doing things like spawning hordes of high level mobs in the town and such.

It was fun, but I found that like most MMO's, it lacks the large selection of equipment that I like in diablo 2. (I still haven't find an MMO that can match D2 for that though).

For the most part, the community was alright. There were lots of scammers, and people using rudimentary bots, but it wasn't completely wrecked because of them.
This is going in my sig. :)

diablo 2 =/= mmo

diablo 2 = rpg with the ability to play online


i can see guild wars since it is ONLINE ONLY, but even then, its all instanced, so it would be more of an "online rpg"

I never said D2 was an MMO, however, since MMO(RPG)s are mostly fairly similar to diablo 2 in many ways, and simply build upon the online aspect, rather than the linear story aspect, I still compare the 2.

The reason I love Diablo 2 so much boils down to gameplay. The gameplay is HEAVILY effected by items in Diablo 2. However, the gameplay in most MMORPGs is not nearly as heavily based on items. In fact, most of them are simply "oh, you've reached level X, now you can use item Y, which is the best item for that level." Very few of them have magic effects like D2 does, and even fewer have a halfway decent magic effect system. Diablo 2 blows pretty much every single MMORPG away when it comes to the item system. Considering the skills in those games are for the most part fairly linear, don't have any synergy system, and pretty much top out with 1 ultimate skill, most of the gameplay systems in MMORPGs are kinda lacking. There's usually only about 1 build that's even worth making in most MMORPGs and there's rarely any item system that would make much of a difference to your character because the developemt team decided that skill based gameplay was a better way to go.

In short, I'm sick and tired of shitty MMORPGs, and Diablo 2 surpasses pretty much every one of them in nearly every aspect of gameplay, other than the MMO part itself.

nigga, super metroid is where its at

also, i think i should beat all of the metroid games, and i should get to doing this soon, starting with the original.

http://www.metroidmetal.com/

and the music is kickass, on all of the games.  i even listen to the original 8-bit music from the first game.  like if jet set radio didn't exist, metroid would be #1 for vg music.
