Sooo~o yeah, my laptop died. Again.
Unlike the last two times it happened, I was able to save everything, but the cause brought some other problems.
To be more specific, the graphics card burnt out. Aaaaand to replace it on a Laptop means to replace the motherboard, and I couldn't find one for less than 200 bucks because my warranty is Long expired. And since a bunch of other parts looked to be failing the in the near future (this is the same Laptop that failed back in December 2011 that lost the last of my early lets plays and reviews that set back stuff WAY before I got into the swing of things.) I just went and replaced it with a refurbished Desktop, which happens to be a good 30% more powerful, WITH 2-year Warranty, for around the same price.
Aaaaand From what I've tested and installed on it, it's a very good computer.
The Catch? It lacked a wireless card, and I didn't catch that little detail before it got here. And my older PC (Which I'm posting this from) Doesn't have the power to do uploads. And with How EVERYTHING now requires an internet connection these days to even install components for programs, I can't get online with it to install everything I need to use it
I ordered a replacement compatible Wireless card from dell, but they sent the EXACT WRONG thing, so I've got another one on the way, but it's still going to be a few days before I will be able to resume updates. However, unlike previous delays in releases, I'll be multiposting next week to get back up to date.
The Finale to RPG Hell's look at Mass Effect 1 will be up at latest Wednesday, The Back to the future 3 review two days after that, and the beginning of Evil Dead month 2 at the usual time.
In the meantime, I've been working on some other things which have been added to the Que, which you'll start seeing in December.
