The broadband wilderness
It’s been difficult with the Interweb at home since the move, missing out on various things such as romping through the glens killing zombies, watching questionable things on the BBC IPlayer, and actually writing on the blog about various enterprises of late since the move.
That and Call of Duty: World at War broke on me with the latest patch like a lot of other people, I had to change the sound settings under Vista 64-bit to use 16-bit 44100MHz or something for the speakers to output sound from the game. Of course we are still assured that a fix will be forth coming. LIES!
I suppose still coming to terms with the new place and the opportunities it presents will take time, along with recouping the lost billions being spent on just living, still feels like: What now?
Anyway it appears my time is once again up and I shall away to fight with Ash against the evil dead. God I love those films.
Get a mac. There is no games on a mac so you don’t need to worry about it 🙂
Ok i will be quiet now and sit in the corner
See, all that unreliability is why PC gaming is a losing pasttime. Stick with consoles – although when I go to my mates’ PS3’s and am forced (no “update later” option) to sit through a software update for sometimes 25 minutes, it appears even they are losing their appeal.
Fair point, the minute consoles had hard drives, it meant that they were just different forms of PC from my perspective. A part of me misses the time when everything had to go out the door without an issue as they couldn’t just chuck out updates from the net.
Still prefer PCs as we can do more with them.
