One of the nice things about being a social misanthrope is that you don’t have to spend a lot at Christmas. In fact, I severely overestimed how much I would spend, so much so that my margin of error was large enough to buy a PS3. So like any good misanthrope who enjoys spending weekends shut up in physical isolation while engrossed in virtual socializing, I made up that margin by buying such a PS3.
It’s pretty. So very pretty. And unlike my Xbox, it seems to handle being a media centre so very easily. 1080p Gundam 00 on a big screen TV? Yes please.
I can justify to myself academically by downloading and running Folding@Home; I’m in a cluster computing class this semester, and the protein folding is mildly related to bioinformatics. It’s a thin excuse, but it’s good enough to placate my conscience.
