Do any of you Frenchies know what I mean?

No clue. Never heard of such biscuits...

[Cairnie]

How about now? Unless that person brought them back from Belgium, Switzerland, Canada or whatev. Foreign food fascinates me.

Pears (or "poires") doesn't seem like an ideal ingredient to go with dark chocolate... I think I'll pass on that one...

[Phoenixan]

Apparently, you've never had pear-flavored tea with biscuits then. It's quite good.

[DesLife]

Well these are common biscuits, but the pear flavor is kinda unusual, most of the time it's orange. The U stands for "Système U," so this is a private label product...

[Cairnie]

Pear tea what? I've heard of strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant teas [all of which are eew] but pear tea...bleh I don't really like fruit tea anyway, they smell good but the taste is not up to par.

I've yet to try pears dipped in melted chocolate though, fuck man I love dipping strawberries in it. It also seems to take away that funny aftertaste kiwis give me LOL.

Actually it is...

YouTube has changed...

[PluMGMK]

I was just about to post that.
It seems that the HTML5 mode no longer works.

Is it just me or have all the avatars on dA gone all screwy? I'm like, Team Jacob atm.

[Robotnick2]

Team Gaga FTW!

[Phoenixan]

Team Seeker... FUCK.

Anyone having fun using Topeka yet?

And on Youtube right now, textP is actually really fun. XD

Woohoo! i won a notebook/laptop in my school!!! im using it right now!

I wonder if this its enough to play games with good graphics (Portal,Sim City Societes,etc etc...):
Windows XP Proffesional
OS: Boot-up Linux
Processor: Intel Celeron processor T3000
Graphics: Intel GMA 4500M
Memory (RAM): 3 GB
Storage: 250 GB HDD

[Phoenixan]

You'll definitely get by with games like Spore, World of Warcraft, Sims 3, etc., but Portal will lag behind (but still be playable). Just don't load up Crysis onto that thing. Congrats though.

Didn't you win a laptop before? This is strangely familiar to me.

Also, this was YouTube's logo yesterday:

Was it supposed to be funny? I don't get it.

[MLII]

Meh it's probably part of their new layout or sth.

God I hate it, it's weird.

[IllarKallas]

No wait,if i said that before,its because when you win a notebook/laptop,the teachers dont give it to you inmediately,you gotta wait like 1 or 2 months to get it.

Its its really fast! i can finally play Silent Hill 1 in it,with good quality,i scanned my Notebook in System Requeriments lab to see if i can play Portal,and it says i pass the minimum requeriments,so i dont think it will have lag or something like that.

Im in La Huayca right now,its a vacational center,theres a pool,and the sun its really hot,luckily theres Wi-Fi connection,and its pretty fast,i wonder if i can download things....

Sounds like an April Fools joke. I couldn't be online at the time, so I have no idea exactly what happened.

[Tobbe]

Wasn't the first Silent Hill game released in 1999 or something? If that's the case then you should be able to buy a laptop for next to nothing which will run it perfectly on the highest settings, so I wouln't get over-exited about that. And if it barely runs Portal I wouldn't exactly call it 'really fast'.

[Phoenixan]

Well, it sounds more like a "really fast" work laptop than a great gaming machine. An Intel Graphics Chip really sets you back, unfortunately. Even if it's a cheap video card or alternative chip set, it'll generally outperform an Intel Graphics system.
