No need, I have two spare copies waiting for me to do something with them.

I predict the next poster has never heard of Alcatraz

OEM multipacks are your friends. False on Alcatraz. However, I predict the next poster doesn't know the Birdman of Alcatraz.

True, I don't know him, as he is dead. But I do know the story.

I predict the next poster never knew about Spanish Conquistadors making it to Devil's Canyon in Oklahoma or even more interestingly about the Viking Runes carved in Oklahoma as well.

100% true on both, I'm totally clueless there. I predict the next poster will be currently debating a new tv purchase.

Not true, but I am considering a new printer.

The next person has been blocked in by a thoughtless driver parking their car.

Yes, many times!

I predict that the next poster wants the new "Mass Effect" game for PC or game console, but is waiting for the price to drop.

**Niclo Iste** · March 15th, 2012, 08:39 AM

False-ish,

I have the first one, it was fun. The only thing I don't enjoy about that design of game is how it's very linear. No back tracking, no free form, I like sandboxes and I feel too confined with the Knights of the Old Republic/Mass Effect game style. Now if the game were on sale for 5 or less dollars then sure I'm all about buying it.

I predict the next poster is looking for a new hobby.

**Guts3d** · April 16th, 2012, 03:57 AM

Nononononono!!!! I have too many expensive hobbies now!

I predict that the next person liked the Three Stooges and wants to go see the motion picture that was just released. ( I did;, it was funny! )

**slgrieb** · April 16th, 2012, 06:38 PM

Well, you get half-credit. Love the Stooges, but I'm turned off by Hollywood's Endless Remake machine. I predict the next poster found John Carter, much better than the reviews suggested.

**NooNoo** · April 23rd, 2012, 09:35 AM

I would have liked to, but I never got to see it in the Imax - life keeps getting in the way of my entertainment....

I predict the next poster wonders is Kiefer Sutherland is stuck playing tender tough guys.

**Guts3d** · April 24th, 2012, 03:33 AM

Not really, I don't watch much television, so I don't see the little fella often.

I predict that the next poster has a frosty beverage less than a foot away.

**Niclo Iste** · April 24th, 2012, 10:44 AM

True, but not the type I would prefer.

I predict the next poster has an O.C.D.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! I'm merely tenacious and orderly. Sure, I require that dessert forks should be placed in the silverware tray pointing in the opposite direction from the dinner forks, but that's just because I really hate grabbing a fork and coming up with one of those little dessert forks, or, even worse, a cocktail fork by mistake. Same thing with spoons and knives. Be honest now, who isn't P.O.'d when they grab a dang butter knife instead of a steak knife?

Trust me, I know OCD, and I'm not. I have a client who had me set up a new HP for her, and since the system came with both a VGA cable and a DVI cable, she requested that I connect both to the monitor. "Nah", said I, "not necessary; one is enough." At this point, she started crying, so I said, "Hey, I'll have this second cable connected in a second!" That's OCD. I just like the silverware drawer neat, and perhaps have a minor quirk or two. But, it is Sunday, and I don't discuss the sock drawer on Sunday.

I predict the next poster is as eager to adopt Windows 8 as they are to contract leprosy.
