Every OS sucks

I suppose everybody has a love hate relationship with computers.  You love them because they make your life easier.  You hate them because they never seem to work right, which makes you wonder why you ever loved them to begin with.  I've got some computer hate and love this week.

Hate:

I have a Mac.  I also have a PC but it's getting up there in years and the hard drive makes a loud noise and is probably very close to a crash, so I use my Mac mostly.  When I got my Mac I pretty much looked right away for writing software for it, since Pages just seemed liked the hipsters Microsoft Word.  I had just started using yWriter5 when I switched computers.  It was only available for Windows.  Last night I discovered that there was a way to get the Linux version to run on a Mac.  It seemed simple, download this program then download yWriter and then use the first program to run yWriter.  So I did this and it didn't work.  No surprise there.  Things never work when they say they should.  Eventually it was 2am and I forced myself to give up.  In the morning after some sleep I went at it again and it still refused to work.  I looked back at the instructions asking myself if I downloaded the right program.  I quickly realized I needed to download an older version of the program I was trying to use to run yWriter.  Downloaded and installed the older version and low and behold it worked.  This makes me happy, but where did I save my yWriter projects.  I thought I transfered all my writing files on to the Mac.  Who knows what happened.  They're probably on my lost flash drive.

Love:

Deathspank.

It's a game.  You play Deathspank, dispenser of justice, on a quest to get an ancient artifact called "The Artifact."  It's funny, graphics and music are great and the voice acting is superb.  There's lots of side quest you can do.  One being hammering poop out of demon imps to deliver to the farmer so he can fertilize his cherry trees.  It's hilarious.  And oh so fun.  And it only cost $15.  And there's a second game for when I beat the first one, and then there's another game after that that doesn't star Deathspank but has him in it.  That one's called The Baconing and it's potential awesomness seems extremely high.  Too bad I don't have more monies.

I seem to find myself getting back into gaming.  I blame my 3DS and Steam.  But it's turning out to not be such a bad thing.  I've been making friends online and have been able to play with the sister which makes those thousand of miles not seem so far away.

Till next time,
