Strange things I will do, or silly Shark pay att

Ok strange things I will do.

I saw a movie yesterday afternoon with the person I take care of. Well even though its a film that many of you have seen, or want to see. I was less interested, mainly Ive read the books and though I do like the visual effects its hard to watch a the actors play parts of late teens when they are mid twenties. Fortunately the lead actor still looks young but his nemesis looks thirty now.
Well this post is not actually a review; they pay people lots of money to do that. What I wanted to comment on was what I did until the previews started. you see I recently got a netbook and with my air card (usb to my chocolate 3).
I get the whole good connection thingy so I logged in to City of Heroes for a few mins. Mostly to see if any friends where on, and also because playing city of heroes on a 8inch screen is so much fun

I've been told that it's possible to play this game on the larger television screen in this office. So far, I haven't tried because I rationalized strange thoughts of others sending me the usual random "Ara you suck!!!! Suck!!! Suck!!!!" pm's but .. knowing that the sight of such a display in massively oversized font would drive me over the edge.

What kind of netbook do you have that lets you play City of Heroes?

I have the cheap one, an Acer and I have to make a correction its screen is 11.6, but don't let that fool you it fits in a cargo pants pocket.

You know it occurs to me that you probably could have connected to a local wifi connection at the theater. If the theater themselves didn't have one there's likely another one nearby you could steal bandwidth from.

Not that I'm condoning stealing internet bandwidth, it's just something to think about. Personally I'd just use my iPhone to play games on in that situation, or post on the CoH forums, ... like I'm doing now.

edit and the draw back to netbook MMO gaming is the video card just barly meets spec, so I will limit when i do it for RP, and running my controller, or MM which are less twitch based then my scrapper and warshade.

"5g per month"?

Either you meant $5 and you've been playing too much WoW.

or you meant $5,000 and you have a REALLY bad provider. :P

Pretty sure that was meant to be a 5GB/month of usage. I'm lucky. Sprint used to be true unlimited with no upper limit. When they changed over to the 5GB/month limit I got them to grandfather my old unlimited plan.
