Now that the new power supply arrived, my big project of the day, apart from working, was getting my new
GeForce GTX 275 into my gaming computer. I bought a
Corsair TX 750W and apparently overestimated my needs a little bit since it has like 20 connectors for SATA, floppy, PCI-E and power, while I needed a mere 6. The problem is that my gaming machine is in a standard case, so it's quite small and the PSU's wires are huge, on top of the fact that the GTX 275 is twice as big as my previous
9600 GT card. It was no easy task cramming all of it in there, and I'm sure airflow isn't optimal, so the next purchase will have to be a bigger case. Maybe Santa will bring me something I can use ....

I don't mind slower news days like yesterday; they give me a chance to catch up on stuff, like playing some CrimeCraft and watching episodes of Smallville and Criminal Minds. Because of last week's Thanksgiving holiday, there weren't many new shows on TV, so at least the list didn't get any longer. We also caught up on the rest of Glee and watched another episode of The Good Wife.
My Laser Light Guns arrived from Hong Kong, but unfortunately I cannot yet check them out since I have no games that work with it yet. They are in working order, so tomorrow, I shall bug various publishers to send me a few extra copies so I can start firing away!

Home sweet home!
Sorry about missing the MotD yesterday. Too much food and a long day of shopping wore us out.
I managed to get a new graphics card, a Geforce GTX 275. The bad news is that my current power supply is so weak that the PC does not even want to boot, so now I need to look for a more powerful PSU. The joys of upgrading. Luckily, the Black Friday sales continue online on Cyber Monday, so I should be able to hunt down a good deal on that as well.

Needless to say, we got a late start today. There's nothing to do about it but to catch up, which is what I'll be doing most of the day, I guess.
Luckily, it should be rather quiet. Most people will be traveling today to get to their Thanksgiving destinations. We're heading out tomorrow morning bright and early, so there will be no interruption of coverage — not until I'm passed out from a turkey overdose, anyhow.

In our infinite wisdom, we decided to check out a few new TV series that we'd been on the fence about, The Good Wife and Glee. Unfortunately, now we've decided to add them to our already-lengthy DVR schedule. Now we'll have even
less time to actually sleep!
This week should be rather slim news-wise since most companies will shut down early because of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, so expect things to really die down mid-week. We'll be off visiting the in-laws, but the laptops are ready and primed, so we'll be on the case no matter what.
I've been checking out
Torchlight, and I must say that it totally sucked me in. It's not really about the story, but the game is just fun. If you ever played
Dungeon Runners /
Mythos, or if you're an old-time Diablo gamer, then this is very much like it. I wish the inventory was a bit bigger, even with the additional space from your pet, but maybe that increases later in the game. We'll see.
