I now hate summer. Yes thats right. Hate it.

Through bad placing of the box for my good rig, it overheated and now seems to be be sli-less. Thats right, I left it in direct sunlight (near a window on a desk) and the thing got hot, very very hot. Now the graphics dont work at all. gonna get a cheapish card tomorrow and try the slots incase its just the card(s). If it isnt then grrrrrr. *Goes to locate his warranty documents.*

I'm left with a lappy that barely runs EVE Classic, let alone anything else.

As I said in EVE - 3 weeks to get a new board with functioning SLI's.

Good that I was under warranty :D

Annoying though, as I have like 4 decent weblinks for anything on the lappy. I'll get more EVE and work done I suppose.

Warhammer preorder is available? Where from?

Also I havent heard much good about AoC, a few people I know elsewhere are soldiering on with it, but as with you many are quitting.

was reading somewhere play are supposed to send the codes by the end of june i look at the forums and nobody is reporting getting them yet so you should be fine.

dont know if your still playing AOC mate soothe and kained were talking about disbanding the guild and joining a bigger guild to see the end game stuff.
