Am I back in action?

Nope. I just barely got the new hard drive from UPS today. The “retailer” I ordered it from hadn’t sent it until yesterday. Apparently they didn’t even have it in stock when I ordered it (even though it said “in stock” on the item page), so when they got their latest shipment they sent me mine.

Long story short, I don’t know what’s wrong now. My motherboard recognizes the drive, and I can install Windows on to it, but when I go to boot, it doesn’t recognize the MBR (master boot record). I called WD about it, and the guy suggested that I update the BIOS since I am reinstalling with a new HDD that is more than twice the size of my old one. If that doesn’t work, then I have to call WD back and do more troubleshooting.

This shit is such a nightmare. I have barely been on the internet the last week. A little facebook, a little twitter, DLing/streaming anime, and that’s it. It’s extremely depressing. I didn’t even know about the Toonami is Back thing until about an hour ago.

Also, all this has made me realize how fucking dependent on my computer I am. It’s kinda scary, but I don’t think it’s something I can change. I’m in way to deep with the amount of money I have thrown down to have my own machine. I just want it to work again so I can get back to playing Dota 2.

BTW, Tormaid if you read this, I’m pretty sure I lost all my data on my old drive. So for now, Persona4 and Sacred Seven encodes are dropped. Hopefully I can get my computer up soon so I can at least finish Blood-C.

My hard drive just failed on me.

I sure hope I didn’t lose all that hentai I’ve been collecting all this time. That would really suck. And now I’m out $240 dollars for a new HDD. Not to mention I’ll have to hunt down installers and firmware that I need again. Joy.

Review: The Daily Lives of High School Boys

Danshiko as it is called by the fans (or even Nichibros) was a no-punches comedy about… well, high school boys and what they do. Pretty straight forward. Brought to us by SUNRISE, surprisingly. With it’s huge array of hilarious male seiyuu, it quickly became a fan favorite. It was even licensed by NIS America before airing even started!

Review: Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown stormed the scene last winter boasting a great creative staff, and having the honor of being only the 4th series in noitaminA history to be a two-cour series. Some claimed this would help it, some said it wouldn’t. With director Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, Highschool of the Dead) and Hiroyuki Yoshino (Mai-Hime, Code Geass) helming the project at legendary Production I.G, was this massive budget project a smash hit, or a flop?

Review: Nisemonogatari

Sequel to the smash hit from 2009, Nisemonogatari picks up right where Bakemonogatari left off. Director Akiyuki Shinbou and his team at SHAFT return to the world of NisiOisiN, bringing in Satoru Kousaki from MONACA for the soundtrack to round out the experience once more. But did it deliver?
