Transmontania or something. Well, mons is actually mountain, rather than
hill, but it's the closest I can come up with, baring elongates searches
on the net.

In World of Warcraft there are people that buy a charter for a guild and
get ten noobs to sign it while giving them money. Then they kick them
from the newly formed guild and be it's only member.

If you're unguilded you will be getting lots of guild invites.
Especially if you are a healer or warrior class. And then you have to
click 'No' to not be part of that guild.

There are two possible answers to that.
1) You don't have time to play other games so you will save money on
buying them.
2) Guildwars doesn't have a monthly fee and it has cute girls on the box!

The best game ever of course is Syndicate Wars 3 where the punks play a
major role in the storyline! Too bad it was never developed...

But desktops do have an advantage. I started with an ATI Radeon 9700 in
2003 and later replaced it with a nvidia geForce 6800 (which is also not
too noisy as you can set the fan speed while the GPU is not hot yet,
which is always).

If you replace the GPU in a notebook you are likely to break it.
