…so, anyone up for a game of Monopoly, followed by a Star Trek TNG marathon? Anyone?
Edit: Ten minutes later it’s jumped up to 38%. …still, first episode, anyone?

So.. how does wow run on Linux? Always curious. Are you using Wine?
Is it stable or does it crash often?
@ Clayton – I am running it on Wine, and it runs flawlessly. Nice and smooth, no bugs, less graphical glitches than I encounter on WinXP.
I leveled my first character from 1 to 70 having never once logged into anything BUT WoW on Linux/Wine.
And I’m proud of it!
was never a fan of kde. bb/xfce4life!
(says the guy running windows)
I heart TNG. Can we skip to about the fourth season, though, when it starts to get really good?
My pally and I are currently working our way through TNG from start to finish (again)…If you’ve gotta do a marathon, it’s a great choice!
I see you run KDE–I’m proud of you!
riker’s beard. second season. that is all.
@ Morkuma – xfce isn’t bad. Though I always go back to KDE after I play with it for a while. (Every other desktop environment I’ve ever tried, in fact, sends me running back to KDE… *shifty eyes*)
@ Kia & Taz – now that I’m thinking about it, I really DO have to get a TNG marathon going… hmm. Party at Pike’s place?
@ Brandon Tilley – KDE for life. It’s never let me down. Unlike, uh, certain others. *sings “We Didn’t Start the Flame War” and runs away*
@ krizzlybear – OH SNAP
To be honest, I think I would choose a TNG marathon over WoW any day. Sign me up! 🙂
I always hated Riker, way too arrogant and pompous. Looks like a human in wow. Worf is the man!!!
Picard > Kirk. There. I said it.
And while the first couple of seasons each had their gems (“The Battle”; “The Neutral Zone”; “The Measure of a Man”; “Q Who”, to name a few), I daresay that the third season is really where the show got going.
It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite episode; even a top ten would be extremely difficult.
WoW, herps, Next Generation… I like you more and more with each post, it seems. 😀
TNG is win. I’d gladly join you there. <3
*finds her first season DVDs* 😀
Hope your download finishes soon, by the way. The downloader is always worse when you're awake anyway. When I did a full installation (for Windows mind-you) from the internet downloader from Blizzard, it took maybe half the night and it was done. *shrug*
Haha, that’s terrible! I remember when I got my new laptop and tried downloading WoW on it, I set it to download before I went to bed, and it was 6% in the morning. 🙁 No fun at all.
Amarok!! Best music player ever!
Now why watch the good old TNG for the millionth time when you can spend an endless amount of time watching new fan made TNG remixes on youtube?
Late to the party here, but ME ME ME ME ME!!!! I wanna come to the TNG marathon!
Riker = first remembered childhood crush. 🙂
Pike, I just had to install windows 7 on a new SSD, and that included a new wow install.
Instead of running the install from the wow window – I downloaded the 1.5Gb patch directly from a gaming website – far quicker than than the streamed version that wow does.
I found mine on ausgamers.com.
I have a better idea. In fact, I’d say it’s pure genius! Let’s just watch Firefly, followed by Serenity! You know, they have the movie on Netflix’s Instant Play!
