Hey everybody! I'm in a most joyous mood today, being the day of my birth 19 years ago. I wanted to write a blog in commemoration of this wonderful day/ week, that has brought happiness to children and pikemen around the world. Of course, I want to share my enthusiasm as well as my bliss with none other than YOU, the Destructoid community.

Since I still consider myself a new member to this community, I don't expect to receive any gifts from any of you (unless you just happen to have an extra copy of COD: W@W from 7-11 and my address... J/K), I only ask that you, the community, be envious of all my wondrous gifts I've received since Saturday.

One of my favorite gifts is my TOMTOM XLS (GPS). I have been using it since monday and I adore the amount of voice options and it's pinpoint accuracy. Game-wise, I got Fallout 3 and Resistance 2, but I also did receive a special gift from my mother... C@$H! which I have decided to use toward the purchase of a Notebook PC. Now this is where you come in. I've never been too much of a computer wiz, when it comes to hardware, and I'm really not sure about what laptop will fit my needs best. So, I have listed what I wish to acomplish with my PC and I'd like to take suggestions from the community closest to my heart.



What I'm looking for:
1.) General School/Business use
2.) Starcraft 2
3.) Diablo 3
4.) Maybe a few other games, but not anything spectacular.
5.) Maximum spending limit $850
