I fixed my computer. The Compustar specialist installed a new fan. He told me that I've been upgrading my computer for years and next time I shouldn't even bother, rather buy a new one, since if it's not able to handle the load of games than it's because it's upgraded to the max for Intel 4 but it is still not enough to play some of newer games. He said it should last me for another year or two and then I will have to buy a new one, because mine will be obsolete. I was able to play L.A. Noire at better speeds and it's much better...sort of Mafia II from other side...not as good as MafiaII though. Maybe if it was done by same team at 2K...

CPU problems
Came back from delayed celebration of father's birthday in a Spanish restaurant called Sancho's. Food was great: gazpacho, vegetable paella and mushrooms ajani(?) with garlic sauce. It seems that my CPU is overheating, staying about 65 degrees Celsius without much programs running. When Steam is working, it goes above 85 at times. It is possible that I couldn't play L.A. Noire for that reason. It was working fine just few days ago... I have to take it to specialists soon, or my Intel 4 chip will burn out. Maybe I need a new motherboard to support another fan. Maybe the specialists can do some extra twitching...which I doubt, because I tried that with some programs. I wish my system could take a liquid nitrogen cooler, that would be a surprise.

L.A.- No
Purchased L.A.Noire: what a piece of crap! Besides playing at snail-like speed...well, that already makes it almost unplayable. I thought I got a deal, purchased at 1/2 price on Steam, but now I feel I wasted 15 bucks for a lot of disappointment. I deleted the game from computer, now I am redownloading and reinstalling it to see if it will make any difference. Maybe at higher speeds it will be more tolerable. Needed to play Nation Red just to shake it off...
Ordered Dead Island. It should arrive in 5 days or so. Hopefully it will be more entertaining.

Bulletstormy Evening
Came from the dentist and decided to wait until my lips stop getting puffy and numb playing Bulletstorm. I bought it on sale, after hearing many negative feedback. The game is much better than I expected. We haven't seen such play engine in years. I don't know why it gets so many negative reviews, I think it was great. I finished the campaign today and played two Echos. It seems like a reasonable time to go to bed, otherwise I might have finished the rest of Echos. The game was exciting throughout it and that was well-spent money. I am planning to buy Bulletstorm 2 when it comes out without waiting for a sale.

Rage over
Finished playing single-player Rage. Multiplayer doesn't have anyone on, but some games are playable. It was an ok game, but maybe making it more open-environment and more character customization would make it better. Whole family is sick and we are not even celebrating my father's birthday - he also has high fever. I am thinking of going to sauna tomorrow to heat my body, it usually helps with colds. Today I will just chill all day, recuperate from the cold. My dental appointment had to be cancelled and was rescheduled.

Bought Tablet PC
Received my Zenith 4.0 Android tablet few days ago, seems to work, although it crashed and was restored to original factory condition yesterday. It is so much fun, I stopped playing Castle Empire and just play various free android games on it. Actually, I stopped playing Rage, too, for same reason. Android is exciting, although it's different from XP. Clearly, I can play with it for a long time without getting too bored. When I will download several more programs, this tablet could become a very useful everyday tool. My father insisted on changing car oil even though computer is not saying it's needed, so he decided to take it to shop himself. I have to take two huge bags of dirty laundry to laundromat today. Yesterday, my parents insisted for me to see a mortgage specialist. It looks like they are serious about finding me own apartment. I don't want to get in more debt, but they think they are doing me a huge favor. I couldn't care less, I was just tired of arguing and went along. I really like my rented apartment. I got used to it. It would be sad to leave it, everything is so conveniently located outside.

Back from parent's apartment
Parents came back and now the dog is their responsibility. He is too much of a hassle. Too noisy as well. I ordered a tablet PC, should be delivered during upcoming week. Received two games: Bulletstorm and Rage. I will download and play Rage today. Castle Empire is progressing very slowly. I think it's because I lost half of interest...it's been a while of playing it. Got an expensive bag for work from parents, a T-shirt, a cap, some pyramid statuette and wall hanging plate with Mayan calendar. Had a lot of coffee today trying to get rid of a headache. Advil as well. Burned a new CD for car: uplifting tunes to keep concentrated while driving...including some childish Crazy Frog and GummyBear songs. Now I will install Rage.
