All is Fair in Love and War?

Google+.
Yesterday I had my first experience of google+’s Hang out function.
The whole experience is great voice wise, but because of my weak sauce laptop, the videos are not showing (photo above is from Candy). I should really update my laptop now =/, it can’t do anything.
I am like the blind man of Video chat =[ . But it is still pretty cool since I talked to Candy and Shaniqua LOL at...
