Computers ...
May. 27th, 2008 10:40 amOkay, so the big baby (I need a name still for the new computer, darn it!) is back at the computer store. I took it in and the guy there kept it. He says he'll call his supplier today and figure out what to do with my video card. Hrmph.
At least I have Blue as backup. That's the good news. ;) No LOTRO for a couple days at any rate. There was some BHG stuff on SM, which is cool. My poor little beginner bounty hunter got involved in her first official hunt. Whee. ;)
So, in honour of that, things that Cody needs to do:
1. get a rifle
2. get real armour
3. streetwise, rifle, run:short_sprint, perception, spot - put some points in them.
4. get a backpack, medkit, gas mask
5. maybe still get a level 1 license so she can carry the pretty gun that the Captain gave her, even if she's not on a hunt.
6. return the borrowed gear to Tienlong, so they can use it for someone else.
Uhm, yeah.
It is interesting to be using a coded damage system and in a situation where my character really could die. Adds a bit of a thrill to things in some ways, though I wouldn't want to be dealing with it all the time.
Other than that, I spent the evening reinstalling microsoft patches, Simplemu, a virus scanner, driver updates ... discovered that once again, I don't remember my MSN password - sigh. Anyhow, I've a pretty good computer as a backup now, for folks who are visiting to use. I suppose I should figure out what to do with all the computers I've got. Probably time to ditch one or two, and redo the setup. Hrm...
Something to think about, at any rate.
