And my computer refused to change...

If you are reading the title, obviously, my computer had finally given up the ghost permanently. The first sign of trouble was it not turning on though this had happened a few times before where all I had to do was switch the plug ins around on the surge protector. An hour later I figured it was not getting enough power which is what happened before but still no blue light on the power button. So I hit Best Buy, then check and said the 12 V is rather low, so they try a new power adaptor, no response. Then they tried the graphics chip, nothing there either. It was mystery to them as it was to me. So their best guess was the motherboard since everything else seemed to be fine for the most part.

At this point they left me, two choices: get a new motherboard which could/could not work or get a new computer all together. So I went all over town, checking to see which computers I could look into and well, the results were I could get like this uber model at Radio Active or the lower end they had. Best Buy had one more in the middle with a slightly reasonable price so I went with that. Though next time I am never taking my brother shopping with me for computers again because he seems to pitch in as well as the sales floor guy.

So for those watching my youtube stuff, depending on when I put my old hard drive in or get the data transferred to the new one whichever the case maybe, I may have to rerecord some things or not, KH1 is the most affected of the bunch since I recorded a huge chuck last week alone. Though I will not mind redoing it since KH1 is really short for RPG standards. Besides we are still trying to find a time to do the comms with Xero and if not, we'll find a suitable replacement like Eizen. I am not waiting 6 months finish a com, nope. The rest for the most part were backed up and saved elsewhere. Other than that, not much else except I am considering reviewing Duodecim and well, you may be in for a shock when that comes around.
