Don't I really suck at texturing. Although I am quite fond of my current head texture.
Anyway, the reason I am getting a desktop is because my dad is a logical person.
I told him I just wanted a laptop for schoolwork and stuff, and the final price of the one we selected was 200 shy of how much the full price of a desktop (which is like 3 times better) would cost. So originally, I just wanted a little laptop that I could use for gimp and toribash, and now I'll probably be getting one that can run tf2 without sweating at all.
