in a very strange sport. The shortest possible time between the starting and crashing a PC. Now, I must say it. IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I am just an innocent victim. So what happened do you ask?

My long awaited brand new shiny gaming desktop was ready for pickup last Thursday so I was sad to wait until Friday until I could pick it up. I came home full of anticipation and feeling like a kid och Christmas day, unpacked the box and plugged in my new stylish computer. It took 15 seconds....15 SECONDS...until I saw a wisp of smoke coming out of the PC and I smelled the smell of something burning. I switched of the machine, tore the contacts out and shoved it out on the balcony because of the disgusting smell that filled the room.

Next step was to call the company that built the PC and they told me to return in to them immediately. So I went there and 5 minutes later I got the verdict. For some strange reason I had had the worst luck possible. Two metallic parts had come in contact with each other while I transported the PC home so the moment I switched it on it had a shout circuit and melted a few cables in the process. I am just glad that the home didn't went up in smoke. Anyway, they were very sweet and promised to fix it ASAP.

I picked it up on Monday and was reluctant to start it again waiting for some other part to fry but it did run for a whole 15 mintues without any signs of smell and smoke so I guess it's in working in order. Unfortunately I am not in working order so I haven't used it yet. I have a cold and a headache so I have to wait until I am feeling like a normal human being again.

When I am fit to start playing with it I will have 1) and brand new PC to get accuainted with, 2) and brand new OS (Windows 7 Pro) to get accuainted with, 3) a brand new copy of 3ds max to learn and 4) and become friendly with the latest Workshop which was released when my laptop was declared dead for gaming. I haven't played Ambitions yet either.

To sum this up, I have a brand new PC to play with but it will take a few weeks until I can start creating again. Looking forward to it since I already know what to do.

So stay tuned for more information as I get closer to start the actual creation process again.
