eighthphaseTHIS JUST IN: Research shows cell phones may cause cancer. This puts them in the same category as coffee. (And DDT, but cell phones = pesticide is not as amusing to me as cell phones = coffee. This may be because I like both cell phones and coffee, but not pesticide.)
So this weekend, I was going through my picture folders and deleting all the really old stuff. Well, this morning I found out that I ended up deleting a folder I actually needed. D: Now I'm going through with one of those undelete programs looking for it so I can, you know, undelete it. I'm not sure how long that's going to take, though. /:
I downloaded Bring Down The Sky yesterday! Today I started on that mission. (There's just something about the entire name of it that sounds kind of poetic; I can't really explain.) I want to get Pinnacle Station, as well, but I've got the usual problems with acquiring that. I know I'm getting ME2 sometime in June; I was going to get the special edition, but now I think I might just get the regular one plus all the dlc. I don't really approve of dlc, but I want it anyway!
Actually that's a lie. I don't mind dlc when it's free. I kind of have a problem when it isn't, though. I mean, you've already paid for the game, so why do you have to pay for more game in your game? (Capitalism, yes, I know.) Still, more Mass Effect is something I can definitely get behind.
It's all Jacob's and Zach's fault. They convinced me to buy it. They're the ones who got me hooked.
Additionally, I think I'm the bane of the hardcore PC gamer. I really, really don't understand all the fancy computer talk - I just don't. Yesterday I learned that I'm an idiot for trying to play serious games on my laptop at all! I also learned a bit about video cards, namely that I don't have one. I have an integrated chipset, not a dedicated video card. Apparently this is a bad thing and I should feel bad. I don't, of course, since I didn't buy this computer to play games and am simply chalking the fact that it can up to a bonus. I do plan on seeing if I can upgrade to an actual video card at some point, though, because I'm a little worried about not being able to run Mass Effect 3. (It all comes back to that, it seems.)
