Dug up a bit of the fglrx woes with my laptop and I figured that this was caused partially by bad code on AMD's part (what else is new?) and the regressions on the intel driver. Truth be told, I don't know whether my laptop uses the hybrid method of Intel HD and Radeon 7670m but that seems to be the case judging by the Xorg logs.
I saw on the logs "screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section" and seemed to ramble on about some intel stuff that I was not aware of. This launchpad bug seemed to corroborate with the evidence thus far. From what I gather, fglrx is 12.9 which doesn't seem to support the Xorg version that my Ubuntu install came with.
At the end of it, it really comes down to simply being happy with the open source radeon drivers. I know never to trust AMD cards on Linux. This just proves me right once more.
Moving on, a few days ago I quit Star Wars: The Old Republic. The grindy gameplay and the overly negative community accelerated my exit. Part of me felt like I wasted the months of play away. Part of me felt sad to leave the splendid story unfinished. When I moved to Walking Dead however, all that evaporated. Walking Dead was a refreshing change to that game and provided me with what I thought was a great representation of modern point and click adventures. Telltale has finally redeemed themselves after the utterly boring Monkey Island games and the insulting Back to the Future game. Good job, guys!
