Working PC

So somehow someway my desktop started working again. I didn't do anything to it except smacking it on the top of the case. Since I gave it a hard crack on the top I have not had it restart or crash on me. Go figure that showing a little tough love is what straightened it out.

Sadly this also means that all my time spent looking for a new PC is all for nothing now. I had a pretty slick computer laid out too. At least I know what to look for when I do make a new computer in about 6 months though. There is a new desktop in my future though because FFXIV comes out in the middle to end of next year so I will need an upgraded PC to be able to cope with the enhanced graphics. Not to mention I would love to have a new toy to play with.

One thing I must admit is that I have been getting a good amount of use out of my laptop lately. I have a new appreciation for it because it is really convenient to be able to spin around in my chair, put my feet, watch TV, and still be able to game. My laptop also isn't as laggy as it used to be for some strange reason. I always had to dumb down the effects and characters displayed because it would lag, but now it seems to be doing just fine.

Something else I will have to try out is the new windower. My version for my laptop (which is running Vista) is really old because there were compatibility issues. It seems they have fixed those issues because Khrone is now running it on his laptop and he said it works like a champ. After I update that I may have to go and put in spellcast for my BLM macros to make my casting a little bit easier. It would be nice if it could automatically parse what my ACC is and know to switch to more ACC based gear or more ATT based gear. That is getting quite technical and it does do that to a certain extent, but hey, I'm just saying.

Me: I quickly read my email title and thought it said Infidelity Investments.
Khrone: lmao, Infidelity Investments, where we plan to help you with your future affairs.

PC Problems

I haven't been able to game much lately because I've been having some issues with my computer. It likes to just restart at will now instead of just when Micro$oft makes it.

Since my computer has gone down I've been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 which has been a lot of fun. I do like how you can rank up and unlock new weapons and attachments and you have actual things to accomplish in the game. It makes it feel like I'm actually leveling up and gaining new abilities and spells like in FFXI. As much fun as MW2 is I have to admit its starting to become a little repetitive and I'm starting to miss FFXI a little. This is a good thing though because I think I was getting a little burned out with FFXI and needed a short break to reignite the spark.

Hopefully I will have some time to get my computer back up and running soon though because I will definitely want to get back to FFXI soon.
