PCs and Powertools

So, I had an overheating problem. I've been driving myself nuts lately; downloading new GPU drivers, reverting to older drivers, clean installing drivers, and attempting to adjust fan speeds...all for naught. No matter, I was still getting massive temperature spikes and as a result my GPU was auto-underclocking when the red line was reached. I just purchased Skyrim, I wanted to play, and now I was angry. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I decided that now was no time for caution, so I got brave and decided it was about time I knew my laptop a little more intimately.

Bargain Bulletin - Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity

PhotobucketIf you've never played Sins of a Solar Empire, there's no better time than now to start.  Steam is offering the game and it's two expansion packs for the bargain basement price of $14.99!  The game is an award winner, both literally and figuratively.  I stand by this recommendation.  It's one of the most entertaining and engrossing strategy games that I've ever played.  The offer is only good until the 23rd of November, so download it now. I promise that you won't be dissapointed, and for the price, you can't go wrong.  Also remember, keep your eye on Stardock, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion isn't far away.

My Triumphal Return to Rome

It's been years since I even so much as looked at my copy of Rome: Total War.  I've been meaning to get back into it again, and now I've found both excuse and inspiration.
