Happiness.
Currently playing a game that asked me if I needed it to update my system to DirectX 3 while installing. I love.
Built my first computer the night before last. Went low-end XP, and am very happy with the decision. This thing doesn't exactly fly, but it's quiet and cool, and does everything I need brilliantly. Well, almost. I still need to stick a graphics card inside, but that'll happen whenever we have around $40 to throw into the thing. For now, I'm ecstatic with my decade+ old games and a computer that doesn't bring down the whole home network.
The old one had gotten so iffy that it was apparently making Karl's computer protest being connected to it. Now that it's gone, suddenly his processor isn't overheating anymore either.
So yay. Yay yay yay.
Also: Why don't they make games like they used to? Seriously. Good shit.
