The Comp is Back

So, for the last week in a half we have not had our computer because it has been with best Buy and their affiliates that fix computers that have taken a dive.  Turns out the power supply had burnt out and since I had upgraded the original power supply they did not fix it.  It's cool though, I had a feeling that this might happen.  When we picked it up today I bought a new power supply and now I am typing this blog.  Fortuantly I just bought the same exact type of power supply that I got last time.  I'm pretty sure that I know what burnt out my power supply, it was most likely a combination of always being on and accumulated dust through out the computer's insides.  before I put the new power supply in I made sure to blow it out with some canned air and then put the new power supply in.  Now...

IT"S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So with my computer being fixed I have finally been able to play Diablo 3.  I haven't really played a whole lot of it but it's alright so far, I wouldn't say that it's crazy good at this point in the game but who knows, maybe once I've gotten through act two my opinion on it will change.  I do have to give blizzard credit for the graphics, compared to Diablo 2 they are a million times better and the game runs so smooth.  The only thing that is bugging me so far is the fact that there is not a skill tree what so ever, most dungeon crawlers always have some sort of a skill tree.  Although this does bug me just a little I do have to give Blizzard props for trying something new, something that most of their fans were not expecting.  Also the way they have it isn't that bad, it's an interesting idea that does work well, it's just going to take a while for me to get used to.  All and all, it's not to bad so far and I am really excited to play through the game and enjoy it as well.

On to the topic of Dungeon crawlers, there is another one coming out soon and it is called Torchlight 2.  I have the first Torchlight on my steam account and it is not a bad game, just get's a bit repetitive like most dungeon crawlers do after you have played them for long enough.  The thing about Torchlight that bugs me the most is actually the opposite of what bugs me on Diablo 3.  It's Torchlight's skill tree that bugs me.  Basically all three classes(Destroyer, Alchemist and Vanquisher) have the same three skill trees just with different names.  The first one is an experience booster/looter, the second one is like a basic magic one and the third skill tree is based on each classes specific skill.  It reminds me a lot of the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance, every character literally had the same attack, just a different name and animation but did the same exact type of damage as all of the other characters special attacks.  It bugged me so much.  I still have yet to play Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for that reason.  Other than that one issue Torchlight is a pretty good game, I would recommend that you go get it on steam, I believe it's pretty cheap as well since Torchlight 2 comes out soon.

I guess this blog turned into a game type blog as opposed to a getting my computer type blog.  Oh well.

Until next time.

Packing Sucks

So...

My wife and I are in the middle of packing for our move to Oakhurst Ca since I recently got a new job that requires us to move to the small town.  We are both excited about the move, but the packing part is killing us.  It's crazy how much crap you find out you really own when you start to pack it all into boxes.  I mean, I thought we were pretty good on the, "Not having shit we don't need" side, but boy was I wrong about that.  Luckily we have till the end of the month to be out of our place so we have plenty of time to pack.  It just feels very arduous and annoying to have to put everything into boxes, move it and then unpack it all once again.  The funny thing is that we will probably be doing this in another year because we both plan on buying a house when our year long lease is over at the condo we are going to rent.  Anyways, moving sucks so onto a different topic.

Pay day is tomorrow and I could not be happier for it.  We don't really need the money or anything but gosh dang it I still love pay day.  It's like a mini Christmas that you had to work for.  The only down side is having to give that money to your bills every dang month, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I should be hearing from my new job soon pertaining to my start date.  It's been a week since I turned in my back grounds packet and they said about a week or two, I'm hoping that it will coincide nicely with my last day at my current job.  To be honest, I would very much like to go to work at the new job as soon as possible.  I'm excited to learn about this new casino, it's always exciting to see how a casino runs as a whole and to see how it's employee's like working at said casino.  This has always been something that has excited me.  It's kind of weird but once you have worked in a casino for a while you will understand how a casino employee feels going from one casino to another.  I typed the word "casino" a shit load of times in those above sentences.

Well, that is all for today.  Until next time my pretties!
