My parents just ordered me a Canon T3 Rebel from newegg for my birthday, it will be my first dslr, I saw it at best buy and I like it, and it gets good reviews online, and on newegg it came with a free SD Card, a case, and a monopod, all for $449, the same price for just the camera in stores.

So what do you guys think about it? I'm pretty happy.

i've never made an intro before so im going to make one now. i recently joined the catalyst gaming community and i think it is very lovely, most of you probably don't know me, so hi and nice to meet you. what are the best gamemodes in this community for me to try? i have tried hrp and it is lovely.

I've been playing games since I was 5. I remember I was at a family get together with my cousins, and my cousin let me play GTA on his play station. I used to only play games on the consoles, and never use the computer as much as I do now. But, as I got older, I found some really cool games on the computer like gmod. I played mostly flash games or online games on the computer until skyrim came out. When skyrim came out, I decided I was going to get it for the computer and see if I liked it. I the reason I wanted to buy it for the PC instead of console was because I saw that on the PC you can use the console and mods. So, I got it, and loved it. I barely knew what steam was until I got skyrim, because when I installed skyrim, it made me install steam. So, after that I bought gmod, got addicted, and now I'm a PC gamer.

So what is your guys stories about how you started gaming?

My grandmother who I was very close to passed away this morning from cancer. I'm an emotional wreck now and I need some advice to get through this.

I got bored and want to create a story in my free time, I'm young so I don't know everything so I'm not the best writer *yet*. If anyone wants to give HELPFUL feedback and suggestions it would be appreciated. I know I'm probably a horrible writer, so if it's bad please just tell me so I know.

Oh and, this is only the first part of course, I'm showing the first chunk before I write the whole thing so I know if I should keep writing it or not and so I can get some feedback before I write all of it.

I think it's a pain in the ass to always have to add people to your buddies to let them sit in your car. Especially when your a cop, and you need to get them to the nexus fast. I think to make it more realistic/a lot easier, cars should automatically let people sit in them. I know that the buddy system is there so unwanted people don't get in your car, but I think, if anything, an easier, more efficient way to let people sit in your car should be added.

So we got my current dog about a year after my previous dog passed away. My previous dog was very big but loving fluffball. He was a Norwegian elk hound and German Shepard mix, but still very loving. He was my first dog so I don't really have that much knowledge about all dogs except what I read, and I never read about viszlas... So, we tried getting a black lab from a rescue place, but they had someone else and denied us, so we went to another place and drove 7 hours to get this red lab. We went to the house and met her and fell in love, she was very cute and she was very playful. They told us she was mixed with something else but they didn't know what. We took her home and a few weeks later we start to see her bad traits. She was very possession aggressive, like if we took something from her she would get snarly and bite us, and she bites very hard, she had many other bad traits, but the main ones were that and she was very hyper, and she has anxiety from being alone so she barks when someone isn't near her, she also gets aggressive when she does something she doesn't like. So we went to a trainer and they taught us some things in the class, and said those bad traits were just because she was a puppy. Well, we were just looking at other dogs and we came across that she looked very similar to a short-haired German pointer. Then about 5 months later when she was aloud to be outside with other dogs, we went to a dog park and met a lady with a dog that looked just like her. She told us her dog was a German Viszla, and we discovered ours was too. Like I said earlier she has horrible traits and another is that she likes to tear up the house, so we can't leave her alone unless she's in her crate. Anyways, I just need some advice to deal with her because I'm about to go crazy, I have anger issues and I almost killed her once.
