Ohh, sweet, Duck Dynasty is on sale!

I honestly thought this was photo realistic painting till I hit the comments.

See Kirk's comment above:

Great to hear it runs good on an older PC! What with new Ubisoft titles like Unity being nearly unplayable, it's good to know I won't have to upgrade to enjoy this game.

Thanks! It was fun. Turned out to be a totally platonic thing, but still had a great time.

Thank you sir! I'll be seeing how it all turns out soon enough, I suppose.

Thanks for the kind words, Amy - greatly appreciated!

It's great to hear that, really - I've got to stop psyching myself out about these things.

Solid points. Thanks!

I'll definitely keep that in mind! Cheers.

I appreciate the extensive response - and I think you're right. I guess it's just not something I'm comfortable with yet, when I go out and whatnot. I think once I get into a bit better shape (which is happening slowly but surely), I'll be able to feel more confident about rocking the hatless look. I actually went and…

You're right - I've got a lot to be grateful for. Also, I hope your friend finds someone, if they haven't already.

Thanks! That's good to hear. I get so locked up in my head about these sort of things. Time to ditch that silly notion of a single type of physical attraction.

Confident, but not a tool is a great caveat. Thanks for the thoughts and advice!

Ha - yeah. The no-beanie-thing will be a big step for me, but hopefully I can make that soon.

Thank you! I really appreciate the perspective, and the kind words.

Fair points, and ones I'd do well to consider. Thanks!

Thanks, MD! That's a reassuring thing to hear, and all sounds good to me. Will do my best to do just that. At this point (thanks to Kotaku calming my frayed nerves), I'm just looking forward to the date.

Thanks man! Solid advice. I'll do my best to do just that.

Ha - thank you Dr. Sensible (Iteration #3)! That's some solid advice, and I'll do my best to roll with it tomorrow. I seem to have the Kotaku force behind me here, and I really appreciate that.
