So yesterday my new PC stopped reading my solid state drive with windows installed on it...no idea why. So I had to install windows on my HDD instead and re-download a bunch of updates....fucking pain in the ass. I guess i bought a crappy SSD that was a dud.

Le t me know how the manufacturer deals with it and what happened to it.

Same here, minus the delay. I had the brilliant idea to bring my 360 and TV to the store and grind away on a typically slow Sunday. The only problem is that I couldn't find the right connector to the TV so a no go.

To make matters worse, we are out of fuel at the station, so it's been a slower Sunday than usual.

I got over the seemingly insurmountable end bosses of Blue Dragon Disc 2 (detailed on teh new podcast) and am now on Disc 3.

I have learnt my lesson and will now have multiple saves on my games. I have been chastened.

I also played into 4 levels of NiGHTS Into Dreams on the Saturn. I now understand the game. I enjoyed it, I also enjoyed using the controller that came with it, very comfortable. NiGHTS should have been sold as an arcade game, that is what it is.

Also got to Level 7 of Alleycat on my GameBoy. Could have gotten farther but I killed two right in a row while watching Game 5 of ALDS (Oakland series).
