A lot happened for me today.

My brand-new laptop that I got for college arrived today, and I excitedly set it up. It's pretty nice, though it isn't the best of the best. It should serve me well for quite a while, I hope. It's a definite improvement over my 4-5 year old desktop that's now incredibly slow.

The other thing that happened is that my 360 officially contracted the "Red Ring of Death". Microsoft is sending me a box now, and I'll have to send it in and get a new one. It's definitely a nuisance (Dead Rising is sweet, and I'd love to keep playing it), but I don't mind too much. If there are preventative measures in the new consoles to prevent them from breaking down, it'll probably be better, in the long run. I love my 360 too much to get pissed at Microsoft for something like this, anyways. Besides, I'll be going on vacation in a week and a half anyways.

Right now, I'm getting Half-Life 2 mods on my PC and stuff. It should be an exciting time.
