I can't imagine having two, the one I have feels more than adequate. I guess useful for some of the things you do.

Once you are spoiled, one just feels inadequate!

You could lease a dedicated server and I can set us up a really good TF2/L4D server on it!!!

Heh, good one. I just don't have any time to dedicate to gaming right now.

Though I have to admit, since I re-organized my furniture/computer the other day, I was thinking of firing up WoW again. I like playing that game, but only if I can watch TV at the same time.

Well my biggest hobbies are reading, running, and cooking. So maybe something for one of those.

So you have a PS3, 24 inch flat screen monitor, a big TV, a bass guitar, a decent computer, 2 laptops, a GPS, sennheiser earbuds, a zune, and you're saying you haven't treated yourself to something in a long time? I disagree with that, but if I had all that junk I'd probably do something unselfish with it, like feed a few thousand kids for day or two.

multi tasking :thumbsup:

you didn't even play any end game stuff with us, it gets much more intense. I decided it's not worth it to PVE anymore, so my guild decided to go PVP, it's so much more enjoyable!

You can just hop on, do a quick BG or two, kill some horde and log right off. No need to stay on for 5+ hours at a time and get nothing like PVE .

You have a condo, correct? Or is it an apartment?

All of that stuff I got quite a while ago, or they were gifts.

I work hard for my money, but I also volunteer and I donate money all the time, so it's not like I don't give anything back.

treat yourself to some high quality cooking pots/pans/dutch oven or soemthing to that effect. or knives. it will make cooking that much more pleasant for you!

or get some nice running shoes. I have flat and wide feet so it's a pain in the ass for me to find good sneaks. i got a pair of nike air max 360's that fit my feet great but they cost a decent amt of $ to buy though

I am starting to lean toward some cooking gear.

I only ever wear New Balance 760s and have for years. Not going to mess with success!

If I were you, I would get a nice calphalon cooking set...those guys kickass, or a nice knife set for a few hundred.

I've had 2 pans from calphalon for the past 2 years when we moved into our condo and it's really all we use. and the things look new still, and we use them 5-6 times a week.

or if you do alot of slow roasting, a le crueset crockpot will be a good investment. they are $$$$$ though, but you wanted to treat yourself, right?.

Aye. I got a Le Creuset cast-iron skillet for Christmas the year prior and absolutely love the thing.

Thought I would never break down and buy it, but when I finally got back to Alaska, I ended up getting a remote start for the car. You did say you lived in Canada? Now, I wonder why I didn't get it sooner. I no longer dread going out to the car for my drives to work.

By an alternate identity, complete with passport and birth certificate. I'm sure it would come in handy sometime down the line.

Fortunately it does not get Alaska cold down here. I would definitely get that if I still livedin Winnipeg.

I already have 2 laptops, a PS3 and a GPS (never use it, it was a Xmas present). I'm wondering about one of those readers though, could be useful for me.
