Hi all.
Got back from vacation, and was really busy last week - popped on here a couple of times but I don't even think I posted. Went out of town again this weekend, came back and the computer won't boot. I think it's just a short or failing connection in my on/off switch (the mobo has power, I just can't get the thing to turn on), but I haven't tracked it down yet. I'll be working on it over the next few days and hope to see you all in time to explore a little bit of Book 14. I hear that's this week?
I've missed everyone, hope you're all having an excellent July.

YAY! My Freesia's Back! I was so depressed without a little Freesia every day! Or was that Fresco? mmmm....
And yes. Book 14 is today... Supposed to be up by noon.
Can't wait to see you again!

Hey guys. Looks like I'm gonna be out of commission at least the rest of the week. Wasnt the power switch, no idea what's going on - ended up taking the machine to the shop, so maybe I'll be upgrading it a bit while it's there  Fun news, I bought a laptop! But it won't run games like lotro, it's strictly a email/web/low graphics kind of thing  See you all soon, I hope. F |

Only 20? You're such a softie! Hope the techies can figure out what the problem is, Free. We miss you! See you soon hopefully. |

9600 GT 512 MB?
Should be able to do about what I do - most things on Ultra High, except for Model Detail (high), Texture Detail (high), Anisotropic Filtering (4), Landscape Lighting (high), Antialiasing (2x)
I run at 1680x1050, fullscreen and get between 30 and 60 fps fairly consistently.

Yeah, it's supposed to be good enough to run just about anything out now at a high level, and it's within the launch specs for Warhammer from what I hear.. So this is probably my machine for a while.

I should be back tomorrow night Just in time probably for my house to have been lost, I can't remember what I had it paid up to. Anyway, LOTRO is patching. I ended up having to buy a new hard drive. I'm gonna let it download overnight, may pop in in the morning before work to see if I still have a home. F |

I didn't think they foreclosed anymore... they just lock you out once you run out of paid upkeep.
It'll be so great to see you back in-game though! *cheer* *happydance*

I should be on after choir practice, it'll be good to see you all too. When I left the house this morning, the patch was about halfway finished 9 hours it had been running, and half done! F |
