I hear Ryan is getting pretty good at Halo these days! I tend to play only when I'm bored or need to just veg-out. Otherwise it's more of a distraction keeping me from doing (more?) productive things. As for the DVD player? It's harder to watch a movie on a laptop comfortably, and girlfriends typically don't want to watch you play Tony Hawk for 3 hours! :mrgreen: Haha.
