Cranky.
Long weekends means things pile up. Everyone knows this. I'm still getting caught up. My half-retarded uncle calls my cell and I ignore it. Whatever, he'll leave a voicemail ( Read more... ) -
X-Com
It was super-cheap on steam. I hate this mother fucking game. -
Minutiae
Room is spotless.
Ants are destroyed completely (in the front yard, anyhow)
Shattered 360 battery pack is repaired. Perhaps I'll take a swing at the controller itself later. -
Hay more ranting. But less angry and more depressed.
Granted, PS/2 overstayed its welcome and I can't remember the last time I was thankful for floppy drives... but some 'legacy' hardware is still incredibly useful. Case in point: The PC Speaker ( Read more... ) -
AMD Build update

grr.
Despite being on the P5Q-E qualified vendor list, G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ is NOT compatible. At first everything was fine. Days went by without issue. And then I started getting corruption in jpeg. Then I started getting 'File corrupted or infected by virus' in PowerDVD. And then suddenly Chrome wouldn't launch. And then my Windows 7 ( Read more... ) -
Mother. Fucking. Done.
Modern Warfare 2 is such a steaming heap. I get killed once. Fine, I was outmaneuvered ( Read more... ) -
Yet another build
So my work computer, my repurposed two-generations-old gaming machine, has been acting up. It's likely a bad stick of memory or a dodgy capacitor someplace. Regardless, I've ordered parts to build a new machine and replace it ( Read more... )
