So, it's gonna be -18 here tomorrow. Say my power goes out and I need to go to a hotel or something. Any precautions I should take in regard to my electronics if that happens?

electronics generally like the cold.

they like the cool, but temps far below freezing could be bad. condensation freezing can cause problems, as it will melt back into water at some point. the oil in various bearings can also freeze. or your Liquid Crystal Display. batteries don't like the extreme cold either

but the temps inside your house shouldn't drop that low so long as the power returns in a reasonable amount of time. to be safe, you could bring the PC to the hotel with you. in general it's not a good idea to have valuables in your crib if it's very obvious no ones home... :merchant:

Did I need to play the first one?..
Not really. There's some back story, but just read it on a wiki or something. The controls are terrible on the first one (they're not great in witcher 2 either. I strongly suggest using the 360 controller)

God damn is Planetside 2 wack. shyt feels like a cross between doodoo and Section 8 meets Battlefield 3 alpha. Holy clunky batman! Deleting immediately. No way am I letting this trash take up any room on my HD.
