HAL is reborn...kinda

After 2 straight days of struggling with this damn computer I finally have it back to some semblance of working. I tried to reinstall Windows no less than 7 times. My little Hard Drive is on the fast track to being fried I believe. Even after the reformat and installation its almost got more problems than it started with. So I'm gonna pick up a new Hard Drive Friday and hope that works. And now onto weather.

It's hotter than fuck. It was at least 95 yesterday and after the rain slacks up this morning I'm sure it'll get to somewhere around the same temperature. Thankfully I can't remember the last time that it went a full day without raining so it been pretty decent for the temperature. As long as it's raining that is. And now onto sports.

I picked up a few new games this weekend. From the same aforementioned Buy 2, Get 1 free sale at Gamestop. I picked up Super Bust-A-Move 2 for Yvonne. She loves those games so I have no problems picking one up every now and then. I used to play it back in the day, but I haven't since they felt the need to incorporate some sick idea of a story to it. I also picked up Robotech: Battlecry and Defender. Defender was really for the collection value. I'm a huge, what they would call now, retro-gamer. I love all of the old arcade games and games on teh Atari, which is where Defender comes in. It's a remake of the old Arcade/Atari Golden Age. In the original you flew this little ship and had to pick up colonists before the aliens killed them. It was pretty neat for the time. Well the new Defender ownz it entirely. In true Midway fashion they remade a classic into another classic. You get to pick from 6 ships, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It's a fuckton of fun. Robotech: Battlecry on the other hand satisfies my Anime/transforming plane fixation. It's a nice looking, cel-shaded game that does incredible justice to the Robotech series. As you progress you can unlock new Veritech to pilot and color schemes and intervies and all sorts of neat stuff. The game relies heavily on you being able to effectively use your Veritechs transformation abilities. Trust me it's a mother fucker if you don't.

Well I think that's about all I have to rant about today.
