Spent a good portion of the night trying to fix SourceSDK. Finally got it up and running with a couple other applications. I’m back in business for animating again.

I also played a bit of TF2 tonight. System handles it very well at the highest settings. It’s nice being able to film at high settings with next to no lag with FRAPS.

Not a good way to end the night.

Last night I was in a middle of The Sacrifice in Left 4 Dead 2 when all of a sudden my game locks up, followed by a black screen. When I came back in I had to verify my RAID. It rebuilt itself without fail but I’ll have to keep an eye on it…

On the bright side I went downstairs and watched the rest of the game unfold via the server console. It seems an asshat took my place because everyone started shooting each other. So I issued a threat over console and suddenly there were crickets…

It lives!

Between partying, sleeping and working on my new computer… I finally got it up and running with no mushroom cloud whatsoever.

The ass kicker

Another nice thing is that it matches my keyboard:

Spent a good portion of the day configuring the OS and installing things to it. Now I’m moving data back and forth. Soon I can pick up on it where I left off on the old one.
