You must post these for the betterment of my curiousity.

But aliens?  Not even a capitalistic conspiracy?

I'd love to, but they're not at my house.  Apparently there's a lot of legitimate business owners helping each other out, but yeah, the great secret at the core of it all is just Ancient Aliens.

FO:NV takes 11GB. Hell, even CS:GO takes 4-5ish. Games are big these days.

My hard drive is apparently only 320 GBs large. Though it seems like it's half that.

EDIT: Jesus christ I was checking my drive settings and I seem to have set half of the HDD as a partition. No idea why I would do that.

Did you try Nehrim?

Nope, and it's not gonna happen. I'm ready to chuck these disks at the wall.
Nooooo! Try Nehrim. It's just an installer and has given me, like, no trouble outside of a rare CTD (which was probably my crappy computer's fault, really.). Plus it just needs the base game (though having the rest doesn't exactly hurt).

Also make sure you've cleared out the .inis or whatev'. Documents/my games/oblivion on windows, generally. Not doing that before trying something new can, like, bugger stuff up. Though I figure you already know that...

Anyway, Nehrim's kinda' awesome. That's all I can really say on the subject, I think.

Uni proffessor (who seemed very interesting and fun but turned out to be this boring as liquid feces old man who likes to repeat stories of awesome stuff he did (travelling the world to look at big corporations) and who thinks Obama won the second term because blacks and hispanics voted for him) claims that we the students are nothing but products of the uni. It isn't far from the truth but man, we're right here being called products (who are apparently still being treated as kings (wat)) and you wonder why people don't show up for your classes?

And on a brighter note, I got splashed a bit by a driver going trough a puddle when going home. It's cool, nothing big, it isn't that cold and I'm almost home anyways. Then as he's stopping by his house he rolls down his window and apologizes.

I don't think anyone ever did that before :S

I've read those. They're fake, of course.

A line from the discussion my roommate is having across the hall:

"He shot a squirrel in a tree with a bow and arrow. It fell on him, bit him, and he shot it with a gun, then came to the ER."

Remind me never to work in the ER.

... went to the ER because he got bit by a squirrel? I... I mean, squirrels can be pretty vicious, really, and I guess if the bite was bad enough, then... maybe? I'unno. ER seems a bit excessive for a squirrel bite unless it's causing you to bleed out or... something.

This reminds me of the time one of the kids on campus shot a squirrel with a BB gun, skinned it, and put its skin on display in his dorm room. He and his poor roommate were quickly evacuated and the room remained unoccupied for the rest of the year.

The residence life workers weren't supposed to talk about it, but how do you keep something like that quiet?

Being a squirrel must suck.

Now I'm terribly confused. What about squirrels warrants a room evacuation? I mean... they're edible (don't eat 'em myself, but several folks I know do), and you can make a hat from the skins if you get a couple of 'em.

I do not understand why they evacuated the room, or why they left it empty?

Also, generally you go to the ER after a wild animal bite because they can carry rabies, I guess?

There's a squirrel I see daily on the way to work. I am strongly considering stealing it's skull to make a necklace or something. I honestly don't know what I'd do with squirrel bones, but it's just that and the skin now, and if I wait too long someone else might yank them...

I think there was rotting squirrel flesh. The details are vague since everybody wants to talk about it without explicitly saying where it was or who did it. I think it's a safe assumption that res life didn't respond to the dead squirrel complaints for a week or so. And by then it was too late.

Ooooh.

Yeah, you kinda' have to like... do stuff to the skin. If you don't want that to happen. And the stench of rot, like. It gets in to things. I could see that causing some problems.
