Well, maybe Walter feels justified since Albert had so much more time to get out and about? But seriously, love him. When he first showed up, I was like 'god, what a douche', but I've really grown to like him. Yet another reason to try and get my hands on the game. *sigh*

HPs/Compaqs are kind of terrible machines, I've noticed -- I had two, and both did poorly. It's kind of sad, since they do make really decent peripherals. My wireless didn't work on the laptop for pretty much ever, so one night I got fed up and had a chat with their customer service people. Turned out, I had to delete the driver, and then it was pretty much okay, though on occasion I'd have to hit up CMD with ip release/renew. *shrug*

And I hear ya about the writing. Needs moar free time?
