Blazing fast violations

Well, I finally graduated to the broadband world with a Satellite connection. Within 5 days, I used up the bandwidth that was supposed to last me a month. Of course, this wouldn't do, so I upgraded the package. Now I'm halfway full after a week, again. They should really give you the first month without a cap, because I'm sure it's when people use the most bandwidth... After being stuck on dial up all my life, I've got stuff to download!

Mainly ISOs, Animes, and games.

Speaking of which, I highly recommend checking out Eudemons Online. It's a free MMORPG (600 meg download). I play on the London server as -RealityRipple-. I also recommend Ghost in the Shell, a great Anime about a futuristic world in which computers interface directly with the human brain, and cybernetic body parts are commonplace.

On the topic of computers, I finally got rid of my problems by underclocking my processor a bit, replacing two of three of my ram sticks, getting a 400 gig hard drive, and reinstalling windows 3 times. Things seem to work just fine now. I'm in the process of listening to each of my 3577 songs on my computer in alphabetical order by artist.

And speaking of music, Arcade Fire kicks even more ass than before. Not only did I get Neon Bible, but I found a demos CD from 2001. Apparently Win Butler (lead singer and songwriter) doesn't like that it got leaked. I don't quite see why, since I think it's very good, and even though it does "not represent the work of the current band", it's still part of the band's history. That being said, Headlights Look Like Diamonds is still my #1 favorite of theirs.

That's about all I have to say for now. I'll check back in at a later date. Farewell until then.
