    • Sometimes I want to shoot my desktop just to put it out of its 256MB RAM misery, but then I remember in graduate school there is not enough time to do gaming justice.

    • Since I play games mostly on a laptop, I've got the additional temptation of wanting to hurl the computer across the room.
