Interesting Oblivion bugs:
I was emerging from an Ayleid ruin, when the graphics went completely to hell and the game chugged into frozenness. I was briefly worried that it was my videocard, but I rebooted, loaded the autosave and everything displayed normally except...wait...my character had been divested of all equipped weaponry and armor and it looked like just about every other nonstolen item. All the...

Hmm those are some very interesting glitches. Have not anything like happen to me yet.
Since I have my gaming computer available to me again, I have, as one would surmise, been playing a lot more Oblivion. I'm really loving playing a thief/sniper type character. As my sneak improves I've been able to pull off bigger and bigger heists, and I'm assembling quite a collection of pickpocketed keys. And being able to instakill many enemies with a single fully-charged arrow...

Sweet they invited me to the thives guild. I cannot find it tho.

The flash stuff is nice and all, but who cares after the 10th page reload?
Watched Advent Children. My god was that awesome. So much better than the theatrical Final Fantasy movie, both by virtue of drawing on an actual game setting and characters (arguably the best one, even), and by virtue of having some absolutely insane action sequences. I'm not sure it would have large mainstream appeal, because about half my reaction comes from loving seeing some of my...

I loved seeing all the characters again, but it felt like a damn Dragon Ball Z episode.
It also reminded me of how little I like Nomura.

Today my XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition (aka the hottest...er...best 200 dollar video card on the market) arrived. Small box, compared to the monstrous ones my previous cards came in. Possibly because there was basically no packaging. Card, driver CD, monitor adapter, HDTV connector cable. S'all.
Installation was, quite literally, a snap. It snapped right in, and I was done.
And my computer, it works...

A new computer is next on the list of things to buy.

It's amazing what relativity does. 
Suddenly I'm all for buying all this stuff I never would have thought about before.

A me update:
I am now done with my Java Programming 2 class. Final total was about 3 actual assignments completed and handed in, one assignment kind-of-completed and handed in, and one completely freestyled program which I turned in to point out that I could use sockets. This out of ~10 assignments. I got a C. (there were no tests except for the final, which...

Elvis sure is popping up in my life unusually much lately. The last three books I've read have involved him in some capacity (two of them tangentially, the current one involves a parallel Elvis being abducted to serve as messiah to a Church of Elvis) and now I just watched Wild At Heart, where Nicholas Cage plays a very...Elvis-inspired...character, at least in look and voice.

I would be very curious as to what recipes would work.

You didn't miss anything in the dialogue. I think the whole point of the monotone delivery everyone had was to empasize the stagnation of the culture, but it didn't make it any more interesting.
I've been putting off my Java Programming 2 homework forever and ever and ever. I have two days left to get this stuff in or I will probably fail the class. I was beginning to question whether I really wanted to go into programming. It seems like I'll probably wind up in some sort of office/data entry work immediately post-college anyhow, I could just make...

Well, I had three days with Oblivion. And it was veritably the coolest thing in the entire world.
And then my computer stopped working AGAIN.
There are not enough swear words in six languages to handle how I feel about computers right now.

Just decided to get off my ass and start posting. I've been a member there for about a year and half. 
I have Oblivion now. Don't expect to see much from me for a while.

Ya I don't blame ya.That game is addicting
First and biggest news: on Saturday I hit General Nanosystems and picked up a Zalman ZF700-Cu VGA cooler. Their price is, as far as I can tell, ~15-20 bucks above SRP for that item, and I wouldn't have paid it if I'd known anywhere in town to buy it for less, but I don't. And it needed to be in town because I couldn't wait...

I work with hardware for a living (PC/Mac/laserprinters), so my vision on it may be a bit skewed. That said, hardware work in machines is *easy*. You should really take a chance next time something goes wrong to take a crack at fixing it yourself. There are a couple hundred thousand websites that'll walk you through it step by step, and it's pretty hard to damage the material, so screwups are rarely fatal. It can't hurt to learn a bit more about your system...
