It’s as if millions of mice suddenly cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

Why would they do this to me? Just as I’m about to move into a new chapter of my life with marriage and soon children they do this!

I almost failed University thanks to the second one. Hours upon hours of time taken from study and work as I slayed the hoards of hell for the thrill of a gold item dropping from the corpses of my victims. Now they are trying to destroy my life again.

Please Blizzard for my sake make Diablo 3 suck so I do not neglect my future family!

Problem with Windows Update

0 Comments

Just had an odd problem with Windows Update in Windows XP it would download updates but not install them showing the very informative error of ‘A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being downloaded’.

Quick search uncovered this easy fix.

Open Start and click run type in
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
do this again for each of these WU dll files
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Then it should be back to normal.

Got my New Headphones

0 Comments

My new headphones arrived yesterday and so far I’m very impressed! I posted about them last week. They are Sennheiser HD215 headphones and I ordered them fromĀ Headphonic.

The Soundstage is awesome and they have a good clear sound for a closed headphone. The replicable cable is a nice touch but shouldn’t be necessary as the cable is thick and well made.

They do have very plastic feel and the padding could be a bit thicker around the ears but apart from that they are good headphones.

If you don’t need a closed headphone I would not recommend them as for the price you can pick up some much better open headphones but if you are like me and have no choice, I highly recommend them.

Age Of Conan

Age of Conan Box

I got Age of Conan last night from JB. After the massively long install (2 DVDs) and then a 600mb patch download I was in for 10mins then I had to go to bed as it was past my bed time.

Tonight I got a chance to play it for about 2 hours and so far I’m enjoying it a lot! The Combat system is great and you feel like you are doing something not just clicking the enemy waiting for them to die and picking up the loot. I have not enjoyed a MMO this much since Ultima Online and look forward to getting to the higher levels so I can PvP and get into a Guild and all that.

I’m playing on the Bloodspire server as I heard a lot of Australians play on this server.

New Headphones

1 Comment

Just ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD215 headphones, they are a good looking closed headphone. I would have preferred a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD400 but they are an open headphone and the point of me buying a pair of headphones is to play games and such on my notebook in the comfort of the living room without annoying Nicole watching TV in the same room. Once I get them I will write up a mini review.
