Oh, ooooh. THAT kind of lead. Alright. I was thinking the kind of lead that can be used for nefarious purposes. Unless you're really DWII in which case the pencil lead CAN be used for nefarious purposes.

(i knew it was graphite btw)

Yeah mechanical pencils are kind of necessary for college, at least in my opinion.

[tornado fang] mechanical pencils. Always breaking on me. I just use pens all the time unless I'm doing an exam.

I prefer mechanical pencils over regular pencils. I like the fine point. I can go from a clear line to blending without switching pencils. It's nice to have that versatility.

That's about the only thing I like about mechanical pencils. They just write better in general.
You know, AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT BROKEN

You just need the right mechanical pencil really, I had trouble with that until I found the right one.

Quickman · **Reply #2429 on:** December 02, 2014, 06:40:19 PM

I use only one mechanical pencil. I have others, but I don't use them. You may need to look for other pencils. I recommend spending the extra for one that has end-click lead advance (rather than the side-click) and doesn't come in a multipack. Get one that is made to be constantly refilled, as they last longer. Mine is ten years old, if not older, and I have another that's even older than that.

Maybe. I can't really be arsed to just buy different brands constantly to find which works though. Anything you'd particularly recommend?

In the meantime though, I [tornado fang]ing love these babies. Best pens I've ever used.

Quickman · **Reply #2431 on:** December 02, 2014, 06:47:20 PM

Those are indeed great pens. I wish I could buy them more often. I also like the Pilot fine point rollerball pens.

As for pencil brands... My current one is a Pentel Twist Erase. It's pretty sturdy and I've had it for years. My older one is also a Pentel, but it's a brand that's been discontinued, which was why I switched to the Twist Erase.

Basically, anything Pentel.

Have some BiC ones I really like, but they don't seem to sell them anymore.

Thanks man u da real steam mvp

I'm really glad this Sega bundle gave out a lot of less interesting games past the average.

Of course it being basically only steam games that only work on windows probably didn't help either since that's sort of not what people like Humble for.

I imagine if it was Jet Set Radio and SA2 in there instead of Company of Heroes or Total War it would've been more popular but I'm just a guy who buys too many games.
