Welp, It's Been a Good 6 Years

... But my computer pretty much kicked the bucket for good this time.
Basically, my computer locked up between an auto update and installing Mass Effect 3, so after staring at a frozen screen for a good 10 minutes I had to do a hard shutdown (I KNOW THIS IS VERY BAD). When I went to turn it back on, Windows derped hard.
"winload.exe is missing or corrupt"
Normally I would insert my recovery disk and reinstall Windows or stumble through a command prompt. Only my recovery disk is also derping. :|
In theory, I could take a gamble by purchasing a new hard drive and a copy of Windows 7. Buuuut my computer was starting to fall behind and nearly everything on the market would be an upgrade over my current system.
So new tower has an estimated arrival date of March 23rd. I need to keep myself occupied during the times I don't have access to the family laptop.
... At least I have a habit of cleaning when I'm bored. >_>

But that sucks to hear. At least you're only two weeks away until internet freedom and ME3! In the meantime, happy cleaning (cleaning is good!).
