Gah! Tomagatchi avatars!

...I once had a Pikachu tomagatchi ripoff, and it ran away all the time...

Not quite. Unlike a tamagachi, you don't have to walk it or clean up its poop, or do anything beyond buying food.

Kit, i vaguely recall you ranting about bittorrent sometime before, and while this may be off-topic entirely, i find it slightly interesting that Blizzard, a major game company(YOU BETTER KNOW THAT!) is using bittorrent software as its primary means of providing downloads!
