Yes, that company. Although, the focus has shifted to laptops as well as printers. They have headphones, mice, webcams, tv tuners, external drives and all sorts of other stuff.

HP? you mean that company that being complained about in Life Advice?
I must rectify this situation. Awaaaaay!

HP? You mean that teenage wizard who goes on wonderful adventures with his friends?

While he does have a lot of money in his bank vault, I don't foresee him needing a 45% Dwarf/45% Swordarm/5% Computer Salesman/5% Spiced Rum muggle companion.

In short, they'll make anything that gives them an excuse to unleash the worst drivers in history.

So HP is about to go from company with terrible executives that produces entry-level, shoddy equipment and systems, to an innovator creating something used in every household, that isn't just a laptop with some new features or handheld device?

This should be good for a chuckle.

I think HP should follow Xerox's example and develop a scanner/copier made for ass prints. Like the Xerox Assjet 790.

Although I'm not really sad I'm quite frankly amazed at how so many of you seem to be able to muster 12-15 posts a day.

Just felt I needed to say that.
Whenever I have that many, it's because I'm playing an active game of Mafia (and all games should be) or two.

Yeah, exactly.  My post rate is so high despite a couple of long absences because I was in 8 at once at one point ._.;;

Yeah, that sounds like something created by the same people as the 'Enemajackhammer'

I was sad today when in adventurer mode I lost my legendary maceman with legendary shield user, legendary fighter, and legendary armor user...



To a computer crash :C

I hate you, EVO yeti boss, I hate you so much. I spend all that time killing you and your twice-as-strong wife shows up? Aaaaaugh. And because I turned human really early, I can't use the evolve-a-horn trick to regain health or anything. I'm stuck with 80 hp for two battles. And an entire new era after this. Siiigh.

Although it's like ten times as expensive, you can still grow and shrink in size, as an evolution trick to regain health.  The human kinda sucks when he's tiny though.

Yeah, I was sick of grinding so I just stopped collecting EVO points to waste on shrink/growing. Which meant I could basically take four hits per fight before my easily-lost 80 hp ran out. :\

I finally won though! Managed to beat the yeti mom without taking a hit, actually, though since she tended to attack in a nonstop flurry it was kind of a no-hits-or-die thing.

Visited a friend's place and stayed the night, had a great time... then we got on the subject of game design and I realized I don't know a freaken' gosh-darned thing about the field, and I want to find a job in it somehow.  I hate my English degree, my stupidity at the time of not taking programming classes while I was attending the #1 CS college in my state (it's the #1 creative writing college too), and the stupidity of anyone who saw me running toward a figurative brick wall and shrugged at my singleminded stupidity at the time. 

Why me, why always like this.  I'm like the tank fighter in a group without a rogue who gets sent ahead to set off the traps because he can take it.  I had the chance to somehow duel class cleric and fighter, but nooo.  I'm tired of being the one who has to make the mistakes that other people laugh at or learn from.  I'd like to do something right the first time already.  Like everyone else seems to, or expects me to.  Arrrrrgh.

I haven't actually talked to her like ever, I suspect she'd hate me though.
