    Yes,

    I know that Thanksgiving is about family enjoying a good meal and some fun. But AFTER some find ourselves with some free time :D

    So if you are playing what will it be? Me it will be a mix of Left 4 Dead and WOW: Lich King

    Since my family is meeting up in Florida i'm stuck watching my little sister. Which the only weird thing about that is she is 18?!?

    Anyways i'll be on a bunch hoping maybe I can log some L4D with you guys/gals.

    Have a great holiday!

    Mmm...every Thanksgiving, after eating a few pounds of food, I like to relax and play some Resident Evil 4 on PS2 and any of the Battlefield series (preferably 1942 and vietnam). Cheers and happy holidays :D

    Man I had to send my notebook back to the manufacturer yesterday, and I'm trying to be cool about it. I had just got it back from having the motherboard replaced, yet six hours later it loses all power and refuses to respond.

    So I won't be playing anything, and I'm not at all happy.

    unfortunately, only my desktop is powerful enough to play any modern games and thats back in my apartment..... had to come home for thanksgiving.

    instead i'll have to go make silly, brain numbing, repetitious conversation with old people whom are known as my relatives.

    "oh so how's your job? what do you do?"

    "are you still dating, whatsherface?"

    ...... and repeat x10 and that is thanksgiving for me... oh and lots of food followed by a brief spurt of insulin inducing coma known as after dinner napping.

    but if i were back in my apartment, it would have to be Left 4 Dead!

    I heard that there is now a Linux port of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, so I grabbed the collectors edition on eBay for $15. I'll be getting that set up and running on Ubuntu.

    I'd probably still be playing WoW if Thanksgiving existed in this country.
