Well, I've done it. I've purchased a new computer. I should get it on Monday. :D

On the one hand I'm super excited, on the other hand I kind of mourn the loss of my money. :P

superstande: Yep, black magic surely! :)
vudu.com - They hook you up with freebies and then you go back for more... end up owning all kinds of stuff.
Sounds a bit like this other place I visit regularly...
Of course! Baron Samedi for example :D

That sounds familiar indeed ;)
Might take a look at that one :)

Yeah it'll be super awesome to play some games properly, rather than at 10 fps. :P And I can finally turn the settings all the way up!

Haha yes, it's truly tragic. :P

*holds a funeral for Fearful's wallet, and a party for the new computer at the same time* \o/
Congrats!! Any games you had in mind to test the new computer with? :-)

Well I'm definitely finally going to play Dragon Age: Inquisition properly ... And the new Tomb Raider game, since I haven't been able to play that despite purchasing it several months ago.

Oh definitely! I'm already looking forward to it! And it'll be so awesome not to have to start every game by changing all the settings to low or off. :P

Whahahaha. :P *cries bitter tears along to Star Trek music*

I know...it'll be a whole new experience for you :P
Which is great i might add - getting 60 FPS instead instead of 30 FPS or worse and games looking beautiful instead of a weird 90s early 3D experimental game :P

Sowwy....but it gives me goose bumps every time. Amazing Grace with bagpipes is epic :D
(Btw...i can really recommend that movie...the (second) best Star Trek movie imho)

Yeah ... I've never been able to game at 60 fps with high settings before ... My computers have never been more than average. This is the first time I'm really getting a computer with gaming specs. I imagine I'll just sit there in utter awe for the first few weeks. :P

When all the Star Trek stuff comes to Netflix I'll watch it all. :P
Gut Avond, y'all!
(German, Dutch, Murikan) :-)

I hope you are all doing well on this lovely Wednesday?

*hugs, waves, and pastry*

Me neither...i always had average computers too. But it's a great improvement as 60FPS feels way more responsive :)
Might happen...and we don't hear from you afterwards we probably should call 112 :P

That's quite a project with over 700 episodes :P
I just hope they'll get the director's/extended editions for some of the movies and the remastered version of the Original Series and The Next Generation :P

Yeah, I might forget to feed and bathe myself. :P

Well it'll give me something to watch for a good long time. :P Although my Netflix to watch list is already like my gaming to play list ... there's more stuff on there can I can watch in a lifetime, unless I take the next few years off or so. :P

FearfulSymmetry: Hey DD, how are you? *big hug* :)
Hello, lovely Fearful! *big hug*

I am doing okay, a rough week or two, but doing okay. Especially as it is just a few more days before I go away for a nice little holiday to celebrate my first wedding anniversary. Although I don't know where we are going, as it is a surprise. I do know it requires a plane, so it is not in the UK at least. :-)

How are you?

*big hug*
