Summer and broken stuff
So, I’m slightly pissed off at the moment (more like WTFRAGE). Why is that?
1) Above average temperatures in Toronto. We need a thunderstorm to cool things down. Fast.
2) My desktop PC is out of commission for about two weeks or so while the GPU gets replaced. What does this mean? No more owning noobs in TF2 until the end of July, no more shooting zombies in the face in L4D2. :(
What happened to the GPU?
Basically the cooling system aka the fan died. I realized this when L4D2 started getting horrible framerates. I open up GPU-Z and the sensor is reporting 104 degrees celsius. Ouch! I open up the case to check and the fan was not running at all.
Apparently the warranty for that PC expires in 3 days. Kind of cutting it close there.
TL;DR version of story
Its friggin’ hot. And my PC is dead.
Summer time = Gaming time!
Some people may be wondering why I haven’t been blogging as much as I used to before the summer. Well, I have been spending whole days gaming and in the IRC and Teamspeak servers.
Games I’ve been playing:
- GTA San Andreas (going through the story)
- Command & Conquer : Generals (just doing skirmishes for the most part)
- Assassin’s Creed 2 (doing the campaign again..best game ever)
- Urban Terror (a new free FPS I play with people from the TWIL IRC channel.)
More games I’m going to be playing:
- Need For Speed : Most Wanted
- Hitman : Silent Assassin
- Team Fortress 2
- Portal

Have a good summer!
