    Two girls eh? I got two little boys and I don't think I've slept more than five or six hours a night since they were born!

    I empathize with you! I spent many a night sitting up playing games. Finished Crysis during that time too, lol.

    My lord, I choose 186.

    Free stuff is good. I have recently acquired a Dell Inspiron 2500, and a small LCD. I don't have a use for this new Dell, but I do enjoy herding computers. :p

    Oh, and for something nice. Once I get my XPS M1730 back (broken, and I haven't gotten around to shipping it yet), I'll be lending it to the person who gave my the Dell and the LCD. Unless of course I'm given an M17x as a replacement. If that happens the M15x becomes the loaner. :)

    Unfortunately you guys weren't too discreet about it either :p I don't want to ruin the good cheer in this thread, but there are threads in the OT forum for you all to chat in. I think this thread is best served here in the gaming forum, but that means that it needs to stay reasonably on topic. If the OP wants it moved to OT, he knows how to reach me.

    Thanks for understanding, let the game(s) continue!

    I accept free games as bribes for avoiding bans. :D

    Ok bad me, back on topic.

    Personally I'm ok with all the banter, but obviously that's up to you. I'd prefer to keep it in the gaming section of course.

    Why not put in your vote for a number crash? This isn't an NBR sponsored event. It's all me! :D

    edit: I made a game giveaway banter thread here:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/off...ts-december-steam-giveaway-banter-thread.html

    Just keep the saucy stuff to a minimum. I get heartburn!

    Anyways the number I wish to bet on is 920. :D
