Overwatch – Saving People’s Behinds #2 (8-20 to 8-26, 2016)
Once again I’m at it in Overwatch, this time with my brother and a friend! So much more fun when you’re playing with people you know.
Rocking With the Squad – Overwatch
I’m totally enjoying this game, great thanks to my brother to getting it for me. We tend to make a formidable team for the most part. This particular ending screen I grabbed was just perfect, victory poses and all. Not only is because my brother is to the right, it’s also because we were both support doing our thing.
Overwatch – Saving People’s Behinds (8-12 to 8-19, 2016)
Hi guys, I’ve recently started to play Overwatch and am liking this game very much! I decided to take my recording software and start uploading some of my POTG and highlights.
Tonight I’m Playing Abzu
Was a bit on the fence with this, but as soon as saw what kind of game, I was “Why the heck not?” So here goes my weekend to playing Abzu. Let’s see what this interesting game holds!
Elite Dangerous Musings: How Much is One E:D Cr?
Credits to CMDR Pete for the post thumbnail.
13.79 US dollars is one Cr.
Yep, that’s right. Or fairly close if these calculations are right.
Now I’m not a veteran or newbie at the expansive, in-depth world of the game Elite: Dangerous. Picked the thing up Thanksgiving, was blown away. And shook my fist in the heavens for getting rid of my Saitek X52 five months earlier.
Alien Outbreak #1 – Tekkos Sector
My first videogaming playthrough! I give you guys a tour of the old and somewhat obscure game “Alien Outbreak”. Thank goodness it still runs on an old machine…phew!
Hard Drive Stash
Doing some spring cleaning, and I thought I’d show you my hard drive stash before I give them to a better home. Most of these are parts I collected when I was at ETSU, and most of them don’t matter anymore as I don’t have cases. I’ve about only kept what’s important to me, so all these extra drives are getting listed on Craigslist for extra cash.
So bye, you guys. You’ve been pretty good to me.
Dell Inspiron 530 – Millenium Project Alpha Upgrade
This is a shot of the Millenium Project Alpha as I finish the last upgrade for this system. Though the hard drives can take more capacity and be swapped out, I’ve had this frame since 2007, and I believe it’s time to use another system in the near future.
However, the upgrades I installed in this system not only made it better, it solved a problem I’ve had since I was using the system in my last year of ETSU: the fan roaring when doing something taxing. Turned out the system was having brownout power issues, and a higher wattage PSU was in order. I naturally upgraded this when I heard that the 3.0Ghz processor required more power, and the 750W was the same price as a 550W the week I bought it (didn’t hurt to get more, right?)
New Arctic Silver paste, the PSU and processor are my last blessings on this computer. And with the upgrades over the years of the Bluetooth Media Card reader, additional DVD-ROM drive and even a Firewire card/port, I believe I can say I fulfilled my design philosophy of “maxing out” a system in my possession.
I’m glad to say the Millenium Project Alpha was my hot rod.
Update – Moving!
Word can’t quite describe what’s going through my head at the moment; I’m finally moving to somewhere else to go to ETSU! Definitely uncertain territory I’m heading into, but I’m also eager and excited. At least I’ll know some familiar faces up there, as my cousin and sister will be attending. Too bad I don’t have a roommate, though.
As I still have two more whole months till school stars, the process will be slow and drawn-out in between of work. But the process has begun, nonetheless. It’s official; I have another place than the rural country backwoods of Parrottsville to call home, even if its for a little while.
The Techie Kid in the Garage
If you’re curious, here’s a shot a relative grabbed of me about a week after my parents sold a piece of property. I was storing countless machines and computers there, and I had to pack up everything and bring them home. But as I was using the garage as a graveyard, there was computers galore. I was told that I needed to get rid of some of this stuff, which I told them I would, it wouldn’t be a problem. So I slowly started to hodge-podge computers together in the garage, trying to bring whatever didn’t work to life to at least sell or show that I had a system working to keep.
It was pretty late when this was taken, so I’m kind of “meh”. I believe the system I was working on was getting reformatted to scratch.
