• Reliving my youth with all these amazing RTS titles.

[Dark Drakan]

Rocked

• So far I have managed to get original C&C, Red Alert 2/Yuris Revenge, Tiberian Sun/Firestorm, Emperor Battle For Dune & Battle for Middle Earth II & Expansion all running on Windows 10 with no issues. Going to attempt Generals & Zero Hour next and see if I can get them working ok.
  
• Going to also attempt to revive an old dead gaming rig I had years ago (not my old main one as that still lives minus a GFX card). Then im going to give it to Jack and maybe try and salvage some parts for it to bring it more up to date so he can play some games on it.
  
• Almost done my main Christmas shopping and only have the odd few bits to pick up here and there and saved decent amount of cash with some good sales and bargains.

Sucked

• Old PC im trying to revive might have a dead power supply (along with other hardware issues) and plenty of spyware/virus problems and such (was one I bought originally for my sisters) so might have a big job getting it working again.
  
• Already disliking these dark cold mornings.
• Missing the Good Food show this year as Amy cant manage to walk around it all day being 7 months pregnant.

I'm going to that on Thursday - never been before so looking forward to it.

Although my friend thinks ISIS is going to blow us all up at the NEC.

Least you will go out full of food, it's good (been about 4 times) and plenty of free samples of food and booze going around there. Less busy in the week too which is a bonus.

Rocked

• The old dead PC lives again, it was a dead power supply and I found an old one from another dead rig (only 300W though).

Sucked

• Yet to get it to boot to Windows however so something else is wrong also, will continue to investigate tomorrow. Determined to revive it and get it running again.

 

[Angel]

Free booze? AWESOME!

I cannot wait now :w00t:

Sucked

• Only thing that doesnt work currently is the sound to the TV, need to get a VGA to HDMI cable or see if I can get audio cable working properly.
• Didnt manage to get old rig running well, something went wrong with Windows Installation and spent entire day trying to switch out HDD's and reinstall to no avail so gave up on that one and refurbished another.
  
• Going to rain for the whole week and I hate rain.
• Had no time to game at all besides a quick game on Battle for Middle Earth II.

• Good Food Show was amazeballs - got completely and unintentionally hammered during my tour of the alcohol section and genuinely needed a nice sit down to sober up.

Happens a lot there and had a hell of a lot of free samples and such myself when I've been and then ended up in pub afterwards. We drank so much one year we ended up missing last train and went back to pub until closing and booked into hotel for night.

 

[Angel]

There was this Bailey's stand where because they were serving full measures, you had to have your hand stamped so they don't serve you again.

This elderly woman sitting at the back was getting everyone to go and get samples on her behalf and was quietly getting smashed. She had about 12 by my count before I left...
