And we're already off to a relatively bad start

It's not good if I already want to commit bloody, bloody murder less than a month into classes. But that seems to have resolved itself somehow. Still, somewhat annoyed. Now to work on that map so we can start building it in the editor... Since we billed it as a side-scroller, I think we need more horizontal traversal, as much as I would like to add more vertical to make use of the traps and mechanics.

A more pressing issue is my hardware being not up to snuff, min. temp being higher than usual, and being a pain to deal with when it comes to OpenGL implementations. There could be other issues as well, but those are the most immediate since I've had my main BSOD thrice within 3 days while not doing anything. Could be too much dust in there, could be a crap install that's getting screwy in the registry, etc. It's still mostly functional. Missed the "sign on at 12PM EST to break a record!" thing for TESO on Saturday though.

The temp seems to be a bit lower on the new install. However, there's also something really weird with the original hybrid install... Its temp also dropped. Weird. Not that I'm complaining too much, but it's somewhat odd. It's hovering around the usual mid-40s. Still going to look into getting a better laptop as an interim to upgrading the rig, because that thing still needs either a wireless card or cable to be networked. Along with general upgrades all-round, like an SSD, better RAM, etc. Something's going be to getting some attention soon.
