Flagship McDonalds

While shopping for furniture in Oak Brook, the family and I stopped at what must be the queen of all McDonalds. A McCafe with McEspressos. An upstairs. Outside seating. Star Trek doors. And we got to play McDicks' Monopoly.

Too Hot to Handle

It turns out, at sweet home Chicago, things are a little too toasty for the Shuttle XPC, and when playing Team Fortress 2, system becomes unstable. Dang. Thanks to the Killing news list, discovered and ordered a quiet Zalman copper VGA cooler. Should arrive soon.

Drawback is, without the sexy Nvidia 7900 GT installed, TF2 can't run and silently crashes on level load. This turns out to be the onboard video's complete lack of Pixel Shaders v3.0. Unhandled of course.

Dagnabbit. Suckered again. Every year.
I love McDonalds' Monopoly promotion.
