My Top 3 |
 |
The weekend is over, and thus you, my loyal readers, get to hear about it.
Well, amazingly, the LAN party happened. Chris and James showed up early and we got everything nice and set up. Then Draz showed up. Then several hours later the rest of the party showed up. So it was a tad late, but we got things going!
Well not a whole lot of LAN gaming happened unfortunately, mainly due to my video card having exploded. Well okay, maybe just half the capacitors on my video card blew. Either way it became worthless. Luckily Diablo 2 can be played in software mode and we were able to do that for a while. It got a little crowded with six of us, a mercenary, and lots of friendly skeletons. Still, good times were had. Also, some Rock Band was played. Always a good time.
So Sunday I knew I had to get the video card issue fixed. I just can’t function without a good computer. So James, Tom and I headed off to Microcenter. I was able to find a 9600 GT card for $150. Not too expensive, and bounds better than my old card. I headed home, got it installed, and booted up Unreal Tournament 3 for the first time. It runs smooth and looks beautiful. I had it set at my native resolution with the graphics turned up to one notch below the best possible and it still ran smoothly. It made me quite happy.
So after that I headed to my Sister’s place and watched some football and had some food. Got to see Maggie. Good times. Unfortunately I was knocked out of my last man standing pool because the Bears miraculously beat the Colts in Indianapolis. God dammit. You have failed me for the last time Peyton Manning!
This morning kind of sucked. My alarm is set for 7:30. The construction crew on the house started hammering at 6:30. It sounded like they were hammering on the wall next to my room. So I got to get up an hour early today, feeling groggy and tired. But it seems Mike left a can of Cocaine energy drink in my fridge. So upon getting to work I drank it down. Now I’m a nice mix of tired and wired at the same time. Time to be super efficient!
