Well, foo.

You know your computer lacks sufficient wang to run City of Heroes when it starts to grind to a halt in the single-player tutorial, with just a few NPCs running around. (Sure, I could probably crank the settings down until I'm looking at a murky blur, but then what's the point?)

I guess it was a good thing, sort of, that they were out of stock on Monday. (Far better to find this out with a borrowed copy than after spending $50.) Paragon City will have to wait until I pop for a better video card.


And for those who got to see me have another sort of memory failure at tea today: I found the post I was trying to recall. Apparently Dave Seville's classic "My Friend the Witch Doctor" was covered by Devo for the Rugrats movie. (That's just Wrong, IMO.)

I'M SO CONFUSED!

The City of Heroes loading screen complained that my ATI drivers weren't up to date. Big deal, I figured, not thinking it would make much difference ... it's not like a software update is going to put new chips on the card, right? But tonight, figuring that I might as well be up to date, I got the latest set.

And now it runs. Not glassy smooth, but it runs. It's actually playable.

I don't know what to think any more.

Hey Kids!

Found on artbroken, but the original seems to be down now, so I'm mirroring it locally:
