What the fuck.

My computer was working just fine last night, I played Fallout New Vegas until about 1 in the morning, noticed it took an inordinate amount of time to turn off, but didn't think anything of it.


Now it won't turn on at all. Not even getting to POST. Monitor won't detect a signal and I have to turn off the power bar if I want to shut down the computer.


Goddamn it.


This challenge donation drive may turn into a "help Anonymous Man build a new computer" drive...I'll let you know.

The problem is that the motherboard died. The power supply is fine, the hard drives are fine, and the graphics card is fine. Unfortunately that means I need to get a new mobo, cpu and memory.

So, if you could find it in your heart to help me out with that, I would really appreciate it right now. I have the money to get the replacement parts regardless of what happens, but it is an expense I wasn't really expecting.

The good news is that when I get the parts and set up my computer (hopefully with Windows 7 as well), future streams will be much less taxing on the new CPU, since I'm looking at a Core i3 or i5.

In any event, I probably won't be streaming tomorrow, and maybe not for a couple of days, but I will be working (on paper) on other stuff in the meantime.

<b>Worth Noting:</b>  Any donations will still go towards the 12/24 hour challenge (I updated the goal counter on the right to reflect the two separate goals), and the stand donation rules regarding Cursed still apply: if you donate, you are entitled to request an addition to the game.

Update 11/25 And Donations

Look, an update! Major Updates - Britney's first interaction has been added to the second mission (note: the second mission has TWO possibilities, depending on whether or not you managed to successfully seduce the blonde girl in the intro. If you skip the intro, you DO NOT get credit for seducing her) Currently, I'm working on the "blonde girl" leg of the second mission, so if you don't meet the conditions (if you get the mission to kidnap someone), then you won't meet Britney.   Also of note: Britney is currently planned to be "relationship lite", so when she's done, you'll be able to see some of the features that will be in the relationship system (not yet though). Minor Updates - Shuffled some stuff around behind the scenes to streamline a couple of things. Bug Fixes - Styles now properly apply when you leave the house without shoes on: the game will put the shoes on first, and then check for style requirements. Donations have been slackin...

Update 9/2

This is the bug fix update. Didn't have a lot of time to add new features, but this is also a major feature update, since the lab is actually reachable now. Swear to god. Cross my heart. Major Updates - Tested the activation of the "Go To The Lab" command, and it shows up, finally. And it does something too. Minor Updates - A couple of minor UI tweaks, nothing terribly major. - Made the box of tampons work like the box of condoms (i.e. you can buy them repeatedly, in batches of ten). Bug Fixes - You cannot drink the bottle of milk in public anymore. - Did some adjustments to footwear to hopefully squash the random non-natural charisma bonuses and penalties becoming permanent. - The guitar and computer now check to see the time of day, and prevent use if it's too late. - Maria will not show up fourteen days after the day she offers you the first "mission" if you turned her down. - After reading the note and getting the information about being able to contact ...
