Oh no, what do we do?


So, I have the house to myself for a week. The women of the house have left on a fantastic voyage of feministic purposes and as such, I have had to fend for myself for the last few days. It's actually very lonely to be honest. The house seems so quiet at times, especially since I don't usually watch television, or require more than a couple of lights to be on.

This week is also the first week of THE NEW PC. We went down on Saturday and purchased a pretty shiny new computer for me to work and play on. I'll tell you one thing, it's a fucking godsend to be able to open photoshop and not have to wait for 5 minutes while it loads. Now, I just click the icon and wa-hey! There it is.


I was also surprised to find that it came with a semi-decent graphics card. Not the best mind you, but it has enabled me to play Fallout: New Vegas. On high. As recommended by the game itself, so there.

Sometime soon, there will be a New Vegas post, most likely with screenshots (which I really have to figure out how to do, I keep getting a black screen when I paste them into photoshop).

Initial thoughts though! A lot of the other reviews I've read pretty much sum it up. If you wanted more of Fallout 3, here it is. And boy, do I want more of Fallout 3, seeing as how I played the entire campaign in a net cafe. I don't know about the main questline in Vegas though, it's not as compelling at the point where I am at, but the sidequests. Oh my, the sidequests.

But more on that when I've had more time out in the Wasteland.

Attack of the Virus!


So I just spent the morning battling a horrible virus on my pc. What it would do was set up another internet connection and then prevent me from logging on using my account. It was a nightmare, to be sure. So armed with a malfunctioning copy of Norton Antivirus (CE baby!) and the handy shift-delete function I fought through sub-directory after sub-directory.

Eventually, the beast and it's minions were slain.

Hopefully it will not rear it's ugly face again. Until then, peace reigns on the kingdom, as we remember the fallen. Alas Google Chrome, you had a good run.
