It's been a couple of weeks since my PC died and I haven't spent much time trying to track down the problem. In years past I would have stayed up until the crack of dawn troubleshooting but I'm old and uninspired. I wasn't playing anything amazing (was finishing up Settlers 7) and I use my MacBook for general computing and internet consumption. Aside from StarCraft II, there really isn't anything coming out in the near future to spur me into PC reanimating action.  
 
So to satiate the gamer within I've been looking to other platforms. I finished Red Dead Redemption in roughly 17 hours. I played a few exhibition matches in Fifa 10 while the World Cup was going on (Spain vs Netherlands 9-0). I actually played quite a bit of Torchlight on my Mac before the most recent update killed it. And now I'm playing nothing. I'm left with a strange, empty feeling. 
 
Unfortunately I don't think StarCraft is going to be enough to motivate me to fix the PC and Civilization V doesn't come out until late September.
