A Green Mushroom

As I mentioned yesterday, I built a new computer !  I was live tweeting as I was building it.  I wanted to collect all of those images in one place sequentially and that's here.  So, check it out below if you want to see the build as it happened.

Because of that, I've been unable to play any PC game that puts strain on my system for the better part of a year.  I've been limited to Hearthstone and some emulation .  I also got the PC version of FFXIII to run on my system, but just barely.  And if you think about it, that's a game designed for Xbox 360 and PS3 which are showing their age.  That's why you haven't seen me discuss PC gaming much this year.
