My computer was for the longest time unable to play CDs or DVDs. Somehow, the drivers for my computer had become corrupted. My computer had become a really big MP3 player, since the only thing I could really do was access my itunes.

Then I fixed my internet problem. Then I fixed my CD/DVD driver problem. I managed to do both of these things quite a while ago. But it didn't really dawn on me until now how much I love my computer(when it's working).

Back during my high school days, before my PS2 came along, I spent a lot of my gaming money on amassing a decent PC game selection. After I got my PS2, and definitely after the driver problem, I seemed to forget what a good gaming resource my computer is. Games like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Warcraft 3, Dreamfall, an old Forgotten Realms DOS games set, Morrowind and Oblivion, Fable, Max Payne 1 and 2, and Neverwinter Nights.

It's as if I've just bought a bunch of new games, since I haven't played many of these in years, and some I've never completely finished!

I've also started to realize how much I like my computer as a gaming console. I like the way I use my mouse to interact with things. Everything else is just the standard controller, but with my computer it feels like an interesting, new experience.

In other news, people suggested in the comments of my last post that I should try doing something different in order to get out of the rut that I'm in. So I've picked up a hobby: archery. I don't know how long this will last, but it's something to do, right???? And please don't call me a redneck for doing this. I've gotten enough of that from my friends.
