Gaming on the PC Once Again!

2011-09-03T09:03:00.000-04:00

My PC has been running like garbage for over 2 months. Most games and applications that used to fly on high settings would barely run, so I had just resigned to thinking the power supply was going to shit or something and was about to order a new one when I noticed my computer specs were picking up the onboard video card as primary. A quick shut down with the 2nd monitor that was plugged into that card taken out upon rebooting fixed all the problems.

Lovin' the new toy, man. It's like... there's a blue side for each of us and stuff!

I think this is all because the cats were curious when we first got them - they were rolling around behind the desk and dislodged the main monitor cord because the mounting screws on the cord didn't want to fit into the expensive graphics card's adapter, and upon restarting after that it just reassigned the default...

I never knew the PC would assign the default hardware in such a simple way as "were am cord fit first?" Instead of defaulting to whichever was the workhorse.

Anyway yay! I can game on my PC again!

Had a fun go again with Fallout New Vegas with 3D turned on and farting around with all the downloaded content I just figured was a waste since I couldn't run it anymore.

Thanks to my buddy Barjed, we're going to be helping each other out with some service exchange love; I've been setting him up with art assets for his Windows phone game in development, and he will be taking some web stress off my back by gearing up a CMS that will make the ArgyleBox home site a fit-all place to fit blogging, portfolio, contact forms, etc. so I can finally fit into a modern web look. Because I'm all draw and no byte, the web development front of promoting myself as an artist has always been a little jarring, so this will be a boon to my ability to connect with peers and clients and not look like an illegitimate geocities fan site.

In the meantime, I used up a few of my McGuyver tool kits to ooze out a temporary page with some sample art pieces, contact information, and an updated resume. You can find it here.

Beepin' and Boopin'
