So some of you might have noticed that I haven't been on.  That's because my computer died.  Flat out died, as in power is going to the Motherboard, but its not getting to the BIOS or drives.  So fortunately, a friend of mine gave me an old laptop she doesn't use anymore (which is slightly more advanced than the one I used to use when I made FF content), which meets all the specs for running the game except for graphics (Its a Toshiba Satellite 1400).  So yeah, I'm not sure when I can get my compy running again.  I might have to find another job first (my hours were cut to under 20 a week in January, so I am looking for a second job though things might pick up).  So yeah, no COH.  I still have paid time on my account till the end of March, so Mikey and Bunneh, if either of you want to take some of my toons out for a spin, let me know and I'll hand you the keys.

Now if only my Freedom Force disks weren't hidden away in a storage locker... 

Edit:  I found a half dead Pentium 4 in my closet, but half to wait until tomorrow (when I get a screwdriver) before I can try to combine it with my other PC bits (my current theory is that the power supply bit the dust, but my multimeter is in storage :p ).  I might need to swap DVD drives as well, as it tried to load Ubuntu (I always have a copy around) and failed.  So, I decided to hunt around, and found a couple of MP3 players, figuring I can turn one into an Ubuntu USB drive, so I can at least use my desktop for something.  Lo and behold, at some point I backed up my Freedom Force skins on it o.0 )  Man, after skinning on Second Life, I realize how much my old skins suck. :P Now if I could just find an FF disk, I could start working on a new base skin.

Oi... I remember that happening to me... I was out of the game for... What? Year and a half? I don't remember...

Here's hoping your return is sooner than mine was.
I didn't do it!


What didn't I do?

I think my hard drive finally went....  Now I'm using my old computer that won't properly install Windows on it, so the only function I have is internet.

PROTIP: If you?re going to build a robot that can think for itself and then make it do menial labor, don?t make it twice your size, indestructible, and strong enough to pick you up and use your body to beat your friends to death. Alas, such is ever the folly of man.
