SECOND EDIT: Well, it started making that noise again.... So we took it in again, and it turns out (get this) they were wrong the first time, it's not a problem with one of the fans, it's a problem with the graphics card, apparently IT'S what's snarfed up, and it's shaking and rattling around inside the computer occasionally.

So they need to send away for a new graphics card now.

So now I'm typing this on a computer without a graphics card apparently. I can't play my games, but I can do most everything else, so it seems to take a little longer to load some things (like my page on deviantART, it did not like that at all D: ) It is very strange.... everything is BIG 0-o

Frustrating, but oh well, at least this is all covered under the computer warranty. And in the mean time I'll be spending some quality time with my console games, I picked up 2 used Wii games yesterday- Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, and Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked- and I've already beaten Sonic Rider's story mode XD (fun little game, story's got some gaping plot holes though, and the gameplay and storyline don't really mesh very well, but oh well, that's kinda to be expected of a Sonic game these days, and for 20 bucks it's fun enough that I think I got my money's worth ) And started on Lost in Blue (Katie's complaining because I haven't beaten Lost in Blue 2 though D: )

Anyhoo, hopefully soon the computer will be back 100% so I can get back to FFXI (I started playing FFXI, Tarutaru! >w<

EDIT: Well, the computer is back sooner than expected and so far seems to be running smoothly. Hurrah! I won't have to borrow mom's laptop anymore :3

But during the time when I didn't have my big ol' behemoth, I managed to finish reading the last unicorn, beat God of War, and start on God of War 2 :3

Time well spent.

We got a new computer a couple months ago (the end of November to be exact)

Ever since we got it, it's been making a weird buzzing noise, which has been growing steadily worse.

We took it in yesterday, apparently one of the fans is snarfed up and it's hitting something else inside the computer (I hope it's not hitting anything important!) so they need to replace the fan.

But they need to send away for the part they need.

This will take 1-2 weeks.

For a brand new computer.

.... laaaaame


I know it's not their fault, but it's still just a little aggravating. Luckily in the mean time I can borrow my mom's laptop to check my messages until the computer is back home. But there was another guy there who was getting his computer repaired who was having the exact same problem, and the way the Future Shop guy was talking about it, it sounds like it's a pretty common issue, which makes me wonder why they don't just keep some extra fans in the store, rather than having to send away for them.

Ah well, not the end of the world, but just thought I'd let you all know that I won't be around much for a little while. I'll still be able to check my messages and notes and stuff though

I suppose this will give me a chance to finish of god of War and start of God of War II.
