I live.

I did not die.
I am not so sucked into pretty video games that I can't post.
I did fight off an alien invasion in my back yard.
You'll hear about that in tomorrow's news that came out yesterday.
I will explain the current situation:

I entered a small bout' of depression over the last couple weeks.  It's not something I'm willing to discuss openly but let's just say it was heavy enough that it was preventing me from drawing too much.  A friend helped me out though and I'm feeling a tad better.  I do hope to resume drawing soon enough.

My computer is complete.  I settled on the GTX 570 and plan on using EVGA's step-up program sometime in the future to pick up a GTX 680 or similar around late May/early June.  This is assuming availability, of course.

The basic spec list is:

Intel Core i7 2600K, 3.4GHz with no overclocking
16GB DDR3 RAM at 1866MHz (I believe, the number might be off by a couple.)
WD HDD 500GB 7200 rpm
GTX 570 1.2GB DDR5 video card
750w Power Supply
Cooler Master HAF 912 case
Optical Drive is Optical Drive
ASUS Z68 Pro/Gen3 motherboard
ASUS VH238H 23" LED monitor (It's nice, by the way, considering a second one.)
------
One additional 120mm fan on the side
One additional 200mm fan (With blue freakin' bright LEDS built in) on the top

Some more news:

Work also has contributed to my silence.  It has been a bit more toilsome than usual with some new upper management who want everything perfect.  Things are starting to cool back down but we're still on edge and that has caused a bit of extra stress for some reason.

There is no current plans to set up a livestream schedule with the new computer.  I don't want to settle on anything until I start drawing more regularly again and/or find a really cool game to stream.  Once I do find the time to draw constantly/find a game to play constantly then I'll let everyone know and will have a regular link posted here.

And finally, rhinos, and what you can do to prevent them from taking over your dog's doghouse.
