Those "Virtual PC Doctor" (or whatever) scammers just gave me a call.  And no, I didn't follow their directions:  Contrary to popular belief, I'm not clueless.  Suffice to say that I was Googling said tactic even as I was on the phone with them ( Read more... )

The stupid power supply on my computer crapped out.  But get this: my father bought me a new one so that I'd have a functional computer for things like wedding invitations and such ( Read more... )

...I still don't see how anyone can claim unironically to like the revamped female worgen model.  It literally looks like it was cobbled together from spare parts ( Read more... )

Here's the deal: I keep leaving wet-erase ink on my Battlemat.  (Not because I want to, or because I forget to clean it, mind you; it's to make things easier for the DM.)  I finally broke down and gave it a good scrubbing tonight...but not all of the stains are washing out any longer ( Read more... )

My auxiliary hard drive cut out for some reason.  So...I had to re-create the game-book cover I did for the boy last night.  On six goddamn hours of sleep.

Plus, my psoriasis is in über-flare-up mode.  Additionally, there is just about no food in the house, because the boy's employers decided to dick him around and delay his paycheck.  ( If you don't want to see me being cynical, slightly vulgar, and somewhat vicious, don't click. )

So...the motherboard on the old rustbucket seems to have finally crapped out.

But, on the up note:  That happened about a week ago.  Since then, we've gotten the hard drive for the new one, gotten it set up, and are busily transferring material off of the old one.

The integrated graphics on the new mobo, by the way, kick the ass of the ( Read more... )

So I got into the beta for Allods Online...but I can't even get to the log-in screen, much less the damn game.  Dammit, I was hoping to try it out and see if it's any good, too.

In regards to the computer:  We're going to try running a test on it. If it's not a hardware issue (and I'm fairly sure it's not)...we will probably need a new hard drive ( Read more... )

...the Windows install isn't compatible with the new MB.  So we're going to have to get the rest of the computer after all...or at least a new hard drive.

Right now, the old rustbucket is sitting here with its innards hanging out. It'll probably stay that way until I run out of canned air.

The damn thing glitched out again, this time for two days.  We're buying the barebone kit.

I don't like going into Wintergrasp in the first place.  As someone with zero interest in PvP (not to mention, woefully undergeared) I'm uncomfortable with getting forced into flagging. If I didn't need the damn money for my damn epic flyer, I wouldn't even be there.  ( Here's WHY I hate the goddamn thing...also, I get kind of vulgar )
