Just making a quick post to say that Bastion was one of the most memorable, touching and unique game experiences I've had in such a long time. I feel truly blessed to have had a chance to play it and the soundtrack will probably haunt me for months.
Such a simple game and yet so much more soul than anything that has come out recently.

it's like the creepers know I nerfed their block damage on my server! I swear to god the little fuckers are waiting around every corner trying to kill me now in revenge.
Edit: Y'know, now that I've made them damage blocks again and started a new hard survival server they don't seem nearly as troublesome. Maybe it's just because I'm always on the lookout for them.

Fresh new heat pipes!
Note to system builders: The thermaltake frio CPU cooler is a hellish monstrosity, but it does its job amazingly well. So much better than the stock cooler my CPU came with that it's almost as if I wasn't using anything before by comparison.
I've gone from 30 degrees C idling to anywhere from 50-60 at full load to 24 idling and 35 full load. Literally the best I could get was 24 in a room with windows open to the winter air, now it hovers at that while I type this in a pleasantly heated room.
I think I may have applied the thermal grease improperly however, as it was literally cemented to the CPU when I disassembled my system, scared the shit out of me when I pulled the heat sink up and the CPU came with it. I'm assuming my Arctic silver went bad, because a little google searching suggests that they have a shelf life of 18 months before it begins to settle, and mine was...shit...five or more years old? The thermaltake grease will do fine for now, not really concerned about that, just glad my new girl is up and running much cooler now.
That and the stock cooler was just...god awful. But they always are, they're meant to do just enough to get by under the best of conditions.
Oh, also, on full load it runs quieter than my case fans, which isn't saying much because those things are hellish monstrosities as well.
Seriously, measure your case before you buy this thing, it's literally the size of a chihuahua.
