Well, it looks like I've been gone for a while.
First off, my brother's computer's graphic card (it was an ATI RADEON 5xxx HD series card) got royally boned and stopped working. That also caused the computer to stop working working, too. The first sign of the graphic card being busted was every time I run ePSXe, the games would crash within the first minute of playing a game. The other was the computer locking / freezing up after 5 or so minutes of inactivity. Then eventually the computer stopped working. It would not start up or run the system like its suppose to, even after restarting or shut it off and turn it back on.
Thankfully, a friend of my brother's whose very knowledgeable on computers helped him fixed the issue by removing the graphics card from the hard drive (although I can't run a game that demands a decent graphics card, like the Blade Kitten demo). My brother talked the manufacturer and they're willing to replace the card for free from what I hear. Adding to that, my TV got busted too; it keeps shutting itself off like its possessed or something. So I have to use my brother's suckier and bulky TV that cuts off the upper corners of the screen and its colors are kinda sucky. But it was either that or no TV to play my games.
On the upside, I am using my older brother's Xbox 360 Core system, although I am considering of getting an Xbox 360 S (slim) because 1) I can't get internet on this thing, no matter what I do and my family are not going to buy an Ethernet cable just to plug this thing to the router that's downstairs from my brother's room. And 2), because I can't get internet on it, I can't update the system for important updates, like being able to watch videos through a flash drive. These issues are starting to make me see why
OverlordZeonMK3 at deviantArt hates it so much.
Other things: watching Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt episode 2 and working on getting episode 3, backing up crap whenever I got my damn computer, and learning how to convert certain video files to *wmv.
No internet for almost a week is not my idea of fun...
