Nothing.
He's the son of a friend of mine. One of my friends who moved last year is visiting and staying with him and they asked me if I wanted to come see them on Sunday. But that's also the birthday of the one guys son, and I'd feel weird going over there and not giving him at least a little something, even if I've only spent a total of 5-10 minutes total with the kid....if that.

So did I.

:lol: I'm not so old that I don't remember being 10 :wink:

I'll forego a card, though. Unless they've changed recently, ten year olds still don't care about cards. I'm thinking I'll just give him $10 and say, "Here. Go buy something fun and stupid when your parents aren't looking."

Earlier I was looking for a wired 360 controller on ebay and I found one that was listed as "new" and it was oddly cheap so out of curiosity I asked the seller if it was a genuine Microsoft brand controller...

They replied with: "this item is new and original. thanks"

Um, judging by the ambiguity of that response I'm gonna guess that's a "no". haha

Not sure that I follow. Can you post a picture of it?

That's not what I was picturing at all. That's bizarre.

So I just got a replacement phone since my old galaxy s 2 had a problem with the charging port. Trying to reset everything I had set up before is taking forever but I have also learned a lot of new things.

I downloaded apex launcher so I can customize icons and resize them and have just about gotten everything the way I want it. Now it's time to add all my favorite swear words to the Swype dictionary, dicktits. Off to a good start already.

So my Turtle Beach headset came today... and I noticed that my gaming laptop lacked a microphone jack. I'm going to get a microphone to USB converter and I'm using it for audio only right now but more importantly...

Why does a gaming laptop lack a microphone jack!?

Same reason the GBA SP does. Because screw you, enjoy the built-in speakers in all their tinny glory.
